Good Impression Charls..

How did you find Engine compaied to Fabia & i20.. as there has been discussion going on in other threads car might be sluggish....

Would have loved to see car pics in DAY light.. as lot of shadow work..Also the engine part would have liked to see right from the top....

But all in all thanks for quick introduction to us...Look forwrd to get details reviwe from you soon....




Good things in life are never too expensive.....So called Best things May be.....

Nice sneak-peak.

Wish the title photo was taken in better lighting conditions.

Thoughtful place for the photo shoot. One of the best locale chosen in recent times.

Quick question:

Does it feel underpowered as in the case of Fabia/i20.

How is the interior plastic quality. Is it in line with City.

The price diff between JAZZ and CITY is just around 70K.

So, I would better go for City, why should I get a hatchback for price of Sadan?

Nice take Charles. The A pillar was an eye sore from the driver's postion according to me. Otherwise, it is a top pick even though pricey.

It clearly has a competition only from the i20 and the Fabia and I believe when compared to these two cars, it is miles ahead in all departments.

The interiors are exceptional - there are slight changes when compared to the Aussie model that I have driven - But then the Aussie model itself got revisited and relaunched.

The Indian car market is certainly changing. Has been 15 months since i picked a Swift and there are so many options now.

Regards,

K Prasad

That's a good question, Parag. I'd want the Maruti because its an eager car that you can pull out and overtake in quite easily, which I didn't feel as much in the Jazz. However, the Jazz is quieter and far more stable at speed - and the ABS does it for me. I'd pick the Jazz. I'm comparing petrol to petrol here.

Nice one there and good pics too! It looks huge and for a second if you look from an angle it looks like the innova. The front legroom seems spacious. Boot is also quiet huge. But the ratio of the front door lenght and rear door length seems to be huge. Is there enough space in the rear?




Why break rules when following them is much easier!!!

@Charles

You mean Jazz is quieter than Ritz Petrol? Ritz is very silent car and can not imagine what could be more silent. May be I need to check my ears.
