Haven't driven the Peugeot before but what I can tell you about fiesta is its a fun car to drive but its pricey on the other hand. Peugeots are also not popular with their reliability compared to ford and so yea

As an ex-Fiesta/Honda Jazz owner let me tell you the experience

Fiesta - a fun car to drive , it's truly a driver's car. You'll enjoy cruising at high speeds and it just feels stable. Cornering and all it's a breeze. Just feels stable . Sime Darby Motor just sucks , i mean in terms of after sales and support.

Basically if you buy it , do not expect good aftercare support. I've had bad experiences , but recently I've heard that they have improved



Jazz - Very roomy for it's class , feels big and I agree that it's very boring to drive. It's just some car to get from point A to point B and it's pretty meh. Spare parts , service centres are ample , so that's the plus point

What's NA engine eh? sorry ah, noob driver here.
I read a bit about Mazda 2, and comments are mostly about it's a 'driver's card not 'passengers', as the space is pretty limited for rear passengers.. hmm...

NA stands for Naturally Aspirated engine.

It's like normal engine without turbo/hybrid

Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost is not a NA engine but the normal Fiesta 1.5 is and mazda cars use NA engines !

Fiesta/Mazda 2 is basically a driver's car. Forget about rear passenger comfort room and others. If you want a family car look for Jazz (esp if you are into hatchback) but don't expect a fun ride

Btw are you single or a family woman ? That would help to narrow down things easily as well

Here a lot of people give a lot of different view , but my best bet is to test drive em and see which one works out and then do your comparison

Like , some of the folks here mentioned. It does matter , like if you are a family woman , probably you need a comfortable backseats and few others and not to mention 6 airbags and all around safety features !

Final recommendation - go test out the Fiesta or the 208 - see which one you like the most

nothing happened yet... *touch wood*
Safety is also my concern la..But my current car, a Myvi doesn't give me much power...
On a second thought, why do I need such high power car? hmm.gif maybe just stick with my car until it has major problems...

I prefer cleaner emission or safety. Chances are you don't need power , you need a safer car. Myvi does not even come with Stability Control which is a must-have and some myvi don't even come with ABS as standard.

To me these are very important safety features
