Car?

We are currently considering if we should get a used car to ferry the family from point to point, especially when Baby is out. We are praying that we will be wise on the choice of the car.

After nights of surfing online, test-driving and visiting used cars dealers, we are down to 2 choices:

Honda Jazz (1.4A Hatchback)

+ very smooth ride
+ great handling
+ excellent fuel efficiency (15-18km/litre)
+ easy to drive and park
+ great design that makes us melt
+ funky features like auto retractable side mirrors, side mirror indicators, seats that can fold down and fold up
+ easy to sell and good resale value
- back seats are bit narrower than a sedan
- smaller boot compared to a sedan
- costs 10K more than the Cerato



Kia Cerato (1.6A Sedan)

+ smooth, comfortable, well-cushioned ride
+ more spacious
+ sedan boot
+ 10k cheaper than a Jazz!
- poor fuel efficiency (11-13km/litre)
- higher road tax
- a bit noisy, you can hear the engine
- not so nice design
- hard to sell and poor resale value. A handful of people said it's almost not possible to sell.


We are now praying, thinking and talking to people to make a better decison.
