Guess folks, don't wanna have to break their backs getting into a car and have lots of room for 2.3 children, a dog and 1 week of supplies and visit grandma on the other side of the country. They're welcome to do so. The more we see these ugly car's on the road, the better ours look.
I'm pretty sure than one day we will all drive one of these or something. They offer so much for so little and are very pratical. But I'm damn sure I won't be driving the Audi A2. Fugly as hell I'll just take the Jazz. Voted best car of the year in Japan and UK.

in japan, the roads are narrow not like these nice wide freeways we got here in the US. so for families that need a van like vechicle, they would need/buy something that'll haul people like a van while drive/sized like a car. i guess the "trend" is coming over here... you know how fads are.

I agree, nasty nasty nasty, I couldnt wait for the 2002 SI to come out, the dealer called me the day it came out, so I went to see it, hoping that it would look better than the pics I saw, [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] Is all I can say, looks like a teeny tiny mini van, totally dissapointed. the only hatchback I like was made by BMW and we all know what that is.

I like the Matrix and the Vibe. My friend has a Matrix....Sweet car. The only thing I dont like is that it is sooo tall....but that can be solved with a set of coilovers.

That's why the only car with the 5 door sports hatch that looks decent and rides low is the P5.. all others including the Suzuki Aerio are POS [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

I almost nought a Protege' 5. Very nice indeed! Especially in YELLOW

(As a side note, even though the Protege' 5 is a wagon, it handles better than some "sports cars"...scary )

i was also really close to getting a white p5.

it was the civic's resale value that kept me in the honda boat, though.
