Toyota Vios or Honda Jazz

highbury SG

Hi all, I just got my license and wish to get a car to ferry my 3 year old daughter around. I have narrow down to two choices and wish to get you guys opinions on either the toyota vios or honda jazz. Thanks for all your kind advice.

vios for spaciousness, jazz for fuel economy..

Ah Wei SG

Vios …..... the boot will be helpful and add as a very good protection for your baby.

vios and jazz..dats a good 10k difference..

wad r you looking at when comparing these 2 cars?? they're of a different class totally and it all base on wad u r looking for..

if you can fork out the 10k easily..and simply going for looks..den go wif ur heart..both are very fuel efficient cars and spacious cars..but yes..do consider the availability of a boot no doubt jazz's boot isnt small IMO

if you r concerned wif the origin of the car..den it'll be good you seek advice from vios owners out there if it's reliable..

My vote goes to Jazz. I believe Jazz offered a much more comfortable ride than Vios. Thought Vios have a boot, but its cabin space is small compared to Jazz. Family man as it is, I think Jazz is a better buy. As for boot, Jazz's isn't small, and the fact that you can fold down 2/3 or whole of the rear passenger seat means you can have the largest boot you even needed. Go to their showroom and test-drive both cars. After that, if you are still unsure about which to get, go for the cheaper one.

If you can get pass the looks, City would be a nice option.

vios for spaciousness? do u have any idea how cramped the rear seats of a vios compared to a jazz? in terms of fuel economy, tough fit between the 2 models.

I did the same research recently, and decided that a Vios is a better choice.

Don't get me wrong, the Jazz/Fit is a nice car (and lets face it, much better looking). But the difference in cabin and boot space is not that great. No doubt the Jazz have a 2/3 seat fold down, giving you lots of space but if you only need that much space when your kids are around then you will need the seats for the kids rite?

The cost difference and brand was the two main reason I decided on Vios.

*disclaimer: haven't took the car yet, so info. only base on test drive.

BTW if you want the Vios, you might have to wait up to 2 1/2 months to collect.

Have you any idea how f.u.c.k.ing spacious Jazz/Fit rear passenger seats are? Try cramping 4 adults at the rear seats inside Vios as compared to Jazz/Fit, you'll see. As a matter of fact, there was once recently I saw a Jazz/Fit turned out to be an MPV, all 6 adults (plus driver) & 2 kids at the boot, and yet the car still manged to take off & cruising without showing any constraint.

And with two kids can be placed at the boot, no doubt you can fill up at least two child seats inside there

Lucky it is a Jazz, its comfort ride design ensure a smooth acceleration to ease off the load and improves its pick-up. Or else it would be damn dangerous with everyone on board, 2 kids in the boot somemore! Sad Imagine firing off like a Vios! Twisted Evil

great! we can now pack 6 full-fledged adults plus two oversize hoodwinks in the boot! sweet! look ma, a can of sardine!

blurberry SG

my point is Jazz/Fit is much more spacious than it looks, as a matter of fact. No doubt Vios is crampier. Both cars are not meant for full-MPV load, you dimwit Twisted Evil
