If you want to change the stock headunit, a decent one with touchscreen would cost about 10k. That's about 40k all in all. Foglamps are non-essential and so are the side mirror signal lights.<br /><br />That seems like a better deal than the 180k price difference of the base variant vs the VX+.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-53993297838514906412014-09-02T19:14:54.720+08:002014-09-02T19:14:54.720+08:00I see what your point is and I do agree to some ex...I see what your point is and I do agree to some extent that some base models suck. For example, the vios 1.3J.<br /><br />But the honda jazz model is different. For the base model's price you get the same engine, same suspension, same rear drum brakes, same luggage space as the TOTL variant.<br /><br />Ok, maybe leather seats are not that essential, but at least they could have given it a leather steering wheel. I hate the urethane steering wheel because in my experience, some portion would easily crack and chip off over the years. When compared to leather, it looks and feels cheaper too.<br /><br />But if safety is your top priority when buying cars, then the VX+ is the one to get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-80182351700889221962014-09-02T19:09:32.989+08:002014-09-02T19:09:32.989+08:00leather seats and steering wheel heat up like hell...leather seats and steering wheel heat up like hell come summertime. specially for a small car with very little air space inside...also you spend more money modifying base models than buying a factory stock higher variant firsthand.

In the city, both the Jazz and the Vios would feel remarkably similar. The Jazz gains the advantage when it comes to high speed because you don't need to do those minor corrections that you pointed out.<br /><br />Between the Fiesta and the Jazz though, the Jazz is still slightly more susceptible to crosswinds. However, the Fiesta is much more tiring to drive given it's "too direct" and will react at the smallest steering input. The Jazz manages to be much more balanced and linear making it much more comfy to drive long distance or over long periods of time.<br /><br />The Jazz VX+ model comes with Motion Adaptive-EPS which is similar to Ford's cross drift steer compensation.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-87929917050682497432014-09-01T17:44:07.552+08:002014-09-01T17:44:07.552+08:00what i have experienced with the new vios steering...what i have experienced with the new vios steering is that you constantly need to make minor steer corrections/ adjustment on long straight drives (bane of EPS systems), bar the fiesta for that automatic cross drift steer compensation.. hope the Jazz doesnt suffer from this...thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-635088252597508542014-09-01T16:25:24.418+08:002014-09-01T16:25:24.418+08:00I'd say the Ford Fiesta has a quicker steering...I'd say the Ford Fiesta has a quicker steering and has a more go-kart feel while the Honda Jazz feels more composed and stable.
