    Another "mum wants to buy a car" thread

    hey all...

    i've just read through the other thread but thought i'd start my own... my mum wants to buy a used car but relatively new... budget is about $10-15k and its gonna be a small and fuel efficient car.

    not too keen on the polo tdi, my mum is looking at japanese... kia rio at $13990 drive away brand new sounds tempting but its a kia!

    i think we've come to 2 choices: honda jazz or toyota yaris

    each have their pros and cons... i was thinking if anyone has insight and/or has owned one or both of these cars, i would like to hear from you... if you also have other suggestions then we're open... i know there's mazda 2 and suzuki swift aswell but not sure if we want to 'copy' our family friends' cars either unless they're really awesome cars.

            But the new jazz don't look good? Seen them in japan and don't like it. Still prefer the current one

            For that budget, maybe even consider Hyundai?? Don't like the old impression gets you as their car's pretty damn well built nowadays.

              Both the jazz and yaris will fall a bit over ur budget brand new,
              2nd hand is definitely where u should be looking,
              You could prolly pick up a prefacelifted jazz vtis for under 15k relatively easy.

                    well as i said in the first post... a USED car but relatively new...

                    my mum's not too keen on micra... tell me why i should get one as opposed to a jazz or yaris?
                    mazda 2 seem good too but maybe as expensive on parts as the honda, so might as well get the honda?
