Haha, in terms of rear passenger space and boot space, the Jazz win flat. In terms of driving feel, all I can say is, if you had the chance to drive the Jazz without knowing the engine displacement, you would have never guessed it's a 1.4.

Hmm... the Jazz never fails to impress. Haha...
I feel the current 1.3L Jazz don't really look as sporty and and youthful as its predecessor but evolved into stg more mature and family oriented. Hence, sometimes I feel the old 1.4L one suits me more.

Nah....too late to get the 1.4L version. I have calculated that it's going to take me around 5 years to save up.
The 1.5 skyroof version shall be the next closest choice for now.

The golfie is not bad too... but I feel the Jazz is bigger and roomier than the Golf. Not forgetting its fuel-efficient status. Haha... relax... I ain't buying now....just plain crapping here.... opinions change over time.

Why don't liana and nightsky just chat on msn? LOL.
But after looking at you guys' conversation, I think i'm gonna give up trying to test drive the contis. Seems like those salespeople are all so snobbish. But they are pure ignorant, this could be a way to built up customer relations. We might buy from them next time? They only look at what's in front of them and they don't look far and invest. Or we might also tell our dads about it.

Can chat here ma...
Besides, I am hardly on MSN wor...

I feel the best experience I had was with Subaru. They are pleasant to talk to and most of all they showed some level of professionalism. Not saying the rest don't have, but somehow I just felt comfortable talking to those agents in Motorimage. Too bad their cars dun appeal to me. Haha.

I finally see the new Mazda 3 on the road. The braking lights at the back of the car looks cool man.

We chat here can contribute to Cars forum activity rating mah.. LOL!
I think not all conti salesperson are snobbish. Surprisingly, very very surprisingly, so far the best conti salesperson I've met was a middle-aged, senior salesperson from Malayan Motors when they were having their roadshow at Millenia. Despite it being a OMO, he was still kind enough to a teenager by allowing him to sit and play inside the XF, and take time to answer his questions properly.

I visited the Subau showroom at Ubi when they first launched the current generation 4-door WRX, their service is faultless.

I do have a couple of contacts of sales personnel from Alexandra branch. They occasionally send me holiday greetings and alerts on promotions hoping one day I will call them back for a test-drive. Haha...

I think Subaru not a bad buy. Just that in our local context, most people prize good FC higher on their list of qualities to look out for than the stability offered by AWD.

The sales of Subaru has all the while been good. More or less near Top 10 in recent years. Cheap with so-so fuel economy. But I dun quite like the design of the Impreza range, because I'm the type who go more for looks and comfort rather than its engine performance and technology.

and the R1 is phased out.... i think because toyota increase their stake in FHI, and the kei business in subaru is outsourced to daihatsu.
but the R1 is cool lay , isnt it. a pity.

Until u mentioned, I didn't know R1 and R2 are out of Subaru's range.
I would say the design is chic and funky. But not many will see this as a practical car for daily commute. I find it too small for a family of 4. Maybe for singles, esp females, and couples will the car be suitable for them.
