A button has less mechanical parts than a keyhole..... and this cannot be the deciding factor whether to get Swift or Jazz right? Push Buttons are in almost every car now anyway.

 

Let me list the key features and which car is better:

Space: Jazz

Power: Swift

Fuel Comsumption: Draw

Safety: Swift

Features: Swift

Comfort: Jazz

Fun factor: Swift

Maintenance cost: Swift (cheaper tax)

Reliability: ?? (By right Honda is more established but My old swift 10 yrs no problem and my fren Jazz CVT issue...so all hard to say for current gen cars)

 

 

Nice! Blue is my ex-Swift color too!

Ya man, fuss over a silly button. Might as well not buy a car. Much more to deal with than any silly button. Haha.

 

Cannot understand.

When I switched back from the keyless entry/ push start system on my Kizashi to my COE Camry I found the key system to be a great hassle. I believe you will be converted to the new system very quickly. I never had any issue with the push start system in the 4 years I drove the Kizashi.

Hows the fuel consumption?

[Hotnyh]

Too early to tell. Just filled up near home yesterday and it's showing about 12km/l over a very short distance driving from Holland Caltex to my place in clementi. Using it more today with some longer runs so will update. Powerful car when the turbo kicks in though. Slight lag then pushes you into the seat as the torque builds up suddenly. Punchier than you'd expect! By 4000rpm you are speeding- and the little engine revs easily to that level. First time I've experienced such a small car hide it's speed so well and was at 100kmh without realising it and had to consciously slow down.

How's the comfort? - And the wind and road noise? Most official reviews have not been positive on this.

Though not the same engine, but i'm driving the suzuki every turbo. Bigger vans and cars tend to bully my little every till i accelerate and the turbo kicks in.. Not very fast but can suddenly overtake them.. Haha... But now have a baby so have to look for a car

Ok 60km done today. FC 15.9 best till I got into heavier traffic and it's now showing 14+.

Definitely has road and wind noise. May get sound proofing done later but it's not too bad as the previous car (the Vios) was really noisy also. Ride is firm and u can feel the cobblestones at my friend's condo clearly. Thankfully no rattles.

I think this car is a hazard for speeding tickets. Several times today I was at 80 and smaller roads and 100 on the PIE when I wasn't paying attention. It's really zippy once past 2000rpm.

Looks like some owners collected their cars. I saw 2 swifts on the road over the weekends..

When this car was launched here it got hit with a $10K VES surcharge. This made it really expensive. Now the price is a lot more palatable and I do hope to see more on the roads soon.

Jazz is a strong competitor in this segment. I doubt Swift can make it.....

Doesn't  have to outsell the Jazz. That's a much more spacious car that feels more grown up. But sure would be nice to see more of other superminis around. I'd love to see more Ibizas too.
