honestly speakin, if i were 2 have a budget bout a 100k, n i wanna buy a jap supermini.. this 3 would be my choice.. but which one?? not easy 4 me 2 choose.. coz in terms of looks, i prefer the swift.. in terms of price, the swift's the cheapest.. in terms of space, the jazz's the best.. in terms in interior, i like the yaris's interior the most.. in terms of safety, the yaris's the safest.. in terms of power, the jazz vtec n yaris r more powerful.. in terms of equipment, the yaris's most equipped..

i really like the yaris.. i think its a very good supermini, a good compromise between performance, size n safety.. only thing thats pulling me down is the prize, very expensive 4 such a small car.. but then again, the jazz vtec is more expensive, but sales of it have been very good in our country.. so, id say the yaris is a good buy..

Being a toyota supporter, the yaris get my highest vote, but if i demand sporty ride, i would go for the swift.

For overall, i may go for the yaris.
4 me, if i were 2 base my choice on looks alone, id go 4 the swift.. no doubt bout that!! thumbup.gif

but i do i think the yaris is more equipped.. n its a balance between looks, safety, performance, size n price.. so, overall yaris is my choice..

QUOTE(thebeeman @ May 22 2006, 09:52 AM)
I second that.
i wonder, y u guys choosed the idsi instead of the vtec jazz?? is it coz of the price?? coz i think the vtec is a good compromise betwwen power n FC..

Well, coz simply the 1.5 idsi jazz has very good FC. Some of the JFFC members manage to hit 600km for a full tank of petrol at stock condition. But things went ugly when you start to modify the idsi jazz with heavier 17 inch rims and etc which when the VTEC jazz shines with better FC. However, the VTEC jazz FC aint too bad at stock condition with being able to hit 500km for a full tank of petrol with normal driving. And dont ever look down on the VTEC jazz. In terms of performance, it can outrun a lot of cars even larger capacity cars. smile.gif
ic ic.. so the idsi jazz has fantastic FC if u leve it juz like that.. while if u wanna do some makeup wit it, ure better off wit the vtec jazz, rite guoki??

i never underestimate the power of the vtec jazz, coz ive driven (even 4 a very short while) the idsi jazz.. even wit the idsi, i feel that the performance is anytime better than any of its korean rivals..

i kinda dont like the front of that.. too many holes.. sweat.gif

Well, went to Toyota showroom and take a look at the Yaris. It's a dissapointment to me. Overall the exterior of the car i have to admit look modern and funky compare to the Jazz. Interior space on the front and back are not bad but the back seats are bit tad tight if to compare to Jazz. But the boot space is a big let down to me. It's even smaller than the MyVi's boot space. As for the interior trims, it seems that it's not up to par of a Toyota marque coz Toyota is famous for built quality of the interior trim. Glove box, cup holder and other dashboard finishing feels cheap and flimsy. I do not know if its only the defect of the showcar i saw but the glovebox doesnt close well as there's a obvious gap. The MyVi dashboard finishing is even better although the design is not as good as the Yaris interior trim. And the unit that i viewed is the S version. One thing i like bout Yaris though is the solid feel of closing the door. Much more solid feel than the Jazz. Toyota could do better on the interior as they are what used to be famous for. More comments once i manage to get to test drive the Yaris if it's more fun to drive. smile.gif
maybe as a city run around, they yaris is good.. but in the terms of practicality, its a big let down due 2 the lack of rear passenger space n boot..

Damn expensive...
Btw, does have look slightly similiar to a Peugeot 206.
Better get a 206 Bestari, add skirting and use the extra money for mod.
More satisfaction.
r u kidding me?? i would rather have a proton than the stupid 206 bestari!!
