1. considering city?
No

2. main reason jazz over city
Skip

3. RV City & Jazz
i dunno, maybe mudah can help.
my wife & I chose Jazz coz we want a relatively small car compared to a sedan & relatively bigger than myvi.
perhaps with equivalent/more or less FC of a myvi.

with that kind of money, i'm not hesitate to buy a 5* ANCAP turbo preve.
deep in my heart i still put a hope that proton would make an SV version of turbo preve.
u'll love how it handles..oh & the pickup too 

nope. no $to spend 

well, if got extra $, i would like to have the rear spoiler & luggage tray.

i think the question is a double edged sword...

in theory... you should be asking about considering City and Jazz Hybrid since the City is still higher priced at 83k after full discounts and the Jazz Hybrid just a yank over RM80k with a full 3 year free service (no need to fork out a single cent)... price wise after deducting maintenance costs over 3 years... the Jazz Hybrid is actually more or less equal to the CKD Petrol Jazz...

main reason is like what farghmee says... don't need a car that is as big as the City... interior space wise, both cars is about the same... City will inevitably be a little harder to maneuver in tight spots because of longer overhangs on both ends of the car...

regarding boot space... the city does seem to have a certain advantage over Jazz since the listed boot space will inevitably be larger... but, you also have to take into consideration of the Jazz's capability to ferry odd sized things with it's ultraseats... that alone will actually give it even more boot space than the City on top of being able to ferry items that the City cannot while sacrificing rear passenger space...

the look of the jazz is also fancier if you are a youngster and wants a sportier looking car... bodykits (other than modulo and mugen) and stuff is much more readily available for the jazz compared to city...

it is all up to what you want at the end of the day... there is no saying which is right since both are still great cars build from the same platform and the same powerplant...

resale value wise.. .there is no way to know since City is launching a new model sometime very soon apparently and Jazz Petrol should be as low as it can possibly be for the near future until the full hybrid version from japan reaches our shore in the next 1 to 2 years time... and if you look at it... if the new City as some SA from the City thread says is gonna be sold @ RM68k... it might seriously take a hit at the city grade E that costs RM91k now...

the only difference between the current City CKD and the current Jazz CKD is that the Jazz CKD contains more local contents while the City CKD is practically pretty much a Thai based unit but assembled here as Honda R&D malaysia did not spend time trying to localize the car hence the slightly higher price than the Jazz...

Yes, I agree that the jazz looks heaps better with a rear spoiler! I specifically requested for a mugen spoiler when I purchase the car. Now it looks.... 

Anyway, some updates on the petrol consumption - 100% city driving with occasional jams - 13.2km/l! Not bad.... 

Haven't tried highways yet. No time for it....

this is a complete one..


as for the lights.. not too sure... but i remember seeing that someone mentioned the whole bumper can be used on the current GE8 models...

our previous grade s and grade v has the grill extending all the way to the headlamps...

it's more like the vti type in taiwan and some other continents..and so does most of Japan's honda fit GE6 looks like that...

How much is the tinting for Jazz? I got mine for rm1.9k from vkool

that's the pre mid-term facelift... the second gen GE series launched back in 2008...

we are currently driving the facelift version...

at least it doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars like dropping in a k20ar

Minor FC update

For distance of 22.7km,
Max speed +-90km/h,
Good trafic flow,
I managed to get 17.6km/L average.

While straight driving (no toll stop, traffic light stop), i managed to get 20km/L @ same speed & traffic flow as mentioned above.
