i'm going to buy a new car a small one which do you think is better/ more fun to drive. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

both 1.5 manual or are the CVTs better?

I would be inclined to go for the Jazz for the better drive/reliability and quality. However, I saw a black Swift roll past me in the city and it looked really good! Probly cos its soo European but still, the Jazz would be the best choise images/smilies/wink.gif

Jazz - better vehicle, better to drive, great interior flexibility

The only thing in the Swift's favour is it does look quite cool in black on some nice alloys.

I find myself strangely drawn to the suzuki swift, which has got a 101 horsepower.

I'd got for the Swift too, since the Jazz does seem like an old person's car...

if you can wait till next year... get the Swift GTi images/smilies/smile.gif

otherwise just get the Zook anyway, Honda only makes VERY dull cars and bikes, even the NSX is a BORING supercar images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

BTW tloekke, I love the avatar, Invader Zim is the best cartoon! ("I'm making... TOAST!! images/smilies/lol.gif

I'd go the swift too. I like Hondas, but there is just something about the Fit *ahem* Jazz that turns me off.

Personally, I don't see any point in shopping in that sector. If you do, good on ya and I hope you enjoy your car, but for those prices you can buy some VERY respectable second hand cars that you will enjoy infinitely more and will possibly even find more practical. I don't know where you are from so I have no idea about the car market where you are from... but just have a think about what you are doing before you sell your soul to the devil.

m102486 · August 21st, 2005, 03:43 PM

i wanted to buy a better car even if its second hand,i wanted an imprezza wrx or evo or anything fast, images/smilies/lol.gif

but the problem is the price of petrol too expensive images/smilies/twisted.gif

i'll think about it again images/smilies/smile.gif

look for other cars thanks! images/smilies/smile.gif

WTF?

I don´t think it´s fair to call an S2000 dull...or a few of the motorcycles they produce (CBR600RR, CBR1100XX and CBR1000RR).

Definately the Jazz - the Suzuki is a nothing car.

here in the US Hondas are considered sportier than other counterparts, which explains why most teenagers rather drive an Accord/Civic than a Camry/Corolla, plus there are endless aftermarket parts for hondas as well

Toyotas are usually slower but a lot more comfortable to ride in, which is why they're known as old people's car, I guess it's the other way around in U.K.?

I dont think the NSX was meant to be a supercar, it was built to have track car performance while keeping Honda's reliability

oh ya, Toyota's only "sport cars", the MR-2 (MR-S for those outside of states) and the Celica both got dropped this year, now Toyota is truly old people's car.. images/smilies/lol.gif

well I'm coming from a riders perspective and the 600RR is shit boring compared to say a gsxr of the same displacement or just look what they do with super-tourers: Honda builds the blackbird - nothing special, Suzuki builds the fastest production bike ever(Hayabusa), Honda bikes are completely uninvolving and uninspiring, any wonder why Valentino Rossi went to Yamaha images/smilies/tongue.gif

As for the s2000, I wouldn't know about driving experience, but the styling is an exercise in design by comittee material and if you drive one you're making a statement along the lines of "I have no personality and need to pay for sex" images/smilies/lol.gif

but personal preference I spose, and I have it in for Honda after they effectively killed the 500cc Motorcyle GP racing images/smilies/twisted.gif
