  get honda jazz instead of fit, both is actually the same except 1 is manual 1 is automatic.. (correct me if i'm wrong)
  
  fit/ist are PI cars.. not to be bias but.. majority of PI dealers have bad services..
  
  mazda2 is not bad and still being made and assembled in japan..
  the above PI cars are also made and assembled in japan too..
  
  the jazz is assembled in thailand..
  
  imho, cars made in thailand are still alright.. but not many people think that way.
  
  just my 2cents.

  definately a Honda Jazz! If you ever sat in the IST rear passenger seat, you will know why I said Honda Jazz is better.
  
  Honda Jazz's rear seat can be folded up to become like a minivan and the FC is much better.
  
  these are the +++ points for Honda Jazz, but I like the looks of IST though.

  This is a wrong statement. Both comes with manual and auto options.

  quoted 61998 for honda fit and 62388 for toyota ist... both the quote obtained from hua yang... need help from you guys on the prices as I just got back to settle down from overseas and not sure of the pricing or rather the way the PI here "practice thier business". not prepared to get chopped by them...

  Get your facts right first! Honda Jazz are also made in Japan, Honda City is the only Thai-assembled car here...

  thats the swift sports right? i heard its gonna cost at least 10k more then the IS(ignis sports). which makes it ard 70k. true enough the performance is gd but its too pricy. furthermore it's a 1.6L. suzuki are known for its lower capcity cars..being an 1.6 makes it lost its class. at 70k an ES civic easily comes to my mind.
  
  any guys here noes abt the price for an PI fit vtec? they come with manual trans now rite?

  Actually I was planning to book a Fit today from a PI here. Before I place my booking fee and all the proper documents, I was told by the SE that the lead time for delivery would be ard 3 weeks, so i decide to check ard other dealers to see whether they have ready stocks. In the end, we decided the go back to the PI to purchse the Fit as their freebies seems the most tempting among all... but in the middle of the the processing of documents, he accidently let slip his tongue and told me that I have to wait for a bout 2 months for the vehicle to arrive instead of the 3 weeks. so i question his credibility and he began turning hostile towards me, saying that i was wasting his timeand we should just get the procedure done with and he would definately delivered the car to me sooner or later...
  
  I've decided not to get from that dealer and just storm off... and could distinctly hear him cursing and swearing...
  
  Is that the way they pratise their business here??? twisting and turning their way through... if this fails, they begins imposing all those kind of ah beng attitute towards you....
  
  would like ya experiences people here to recommend a more trustworthy dealer...
  
  thanks
