I saw many ladies driving latio. Uncle car is altis la. :D

The whole range of Nissan and Benz is for uncles. I can bet you the average age of the drivers of all vehicles in thses two brands could easily be above 60 [:p]

Jazz has one serious shortcoming, it is very underpowered and slow. Fast driver like myself, no way.

 

Which small hatch of this character is not slow?

 

Aiyah....

Agreed, calling taxi can be very troublesome if stay in private estate, best is to drive a car lo. If she needs to use a pram, then maybe hatchback not very practical. get sedan car better since there is a decent boot space. I still think latio sedan quite a good compact mid range car.

how come no one mentioned or suggest 1.5 Vios?!

i think its quite useful and could be cheaper too for those 2006/07 make?!

 

plus since have pram, the boot might be in good use.

I would also suggest the mx5, think possible under 45k.....and if jazz, 1.5l would be better with 120bhp and not underpowered....fuel efficient but budget will not be under 45k.....next would be mazda 2, March and Ford focus hatch.

 

Hope your wifey likes the car u finally decide on.

 

Safe ride

Cheers

I vote for Jazz (Fit) as I'm driving one. Yes agree with most here that it's underpowered,but then it is surprisingly roomy when the passenger seats are folded down. I can vouch for this as I 'converted' my Fit into a mini van during my house moving a couple of years back.I was able to pack in a few more items into my Fit & minimize the amount of trips between the 2 places. Lately, my mom was hospitalized for sometime and movement became a chore for her after discharge,so we bought a couple of wheelchairs (1 medium size and 1 small size) for her. Surprisingly,we were able to store the medium size wheelchair comfortably and without much difficulty into the back compartment without the need to adjust the passenger seats. With your current situation for your Mrs and child,I think the pram shouldn't be a problem, but it's good to try it out first.

 

Just my 2 cents worth. ^_^
