  for the price u pay for honda fit...i will rather go for the Daihatsu YRV turbo....120hp....and more chances to mod...abt the same price also..
  
  moreover next yr YRV turbo coming out with 6MT (manual Transmission)....although IMO Honda fit looks nicer than the YRV...
  
  Heard from some of my frens that ppl are changing the turbocharger to a slightly bigger one....getting ard 160-180hp...
  hmm if they change ECU...200hp???? but not sure whether the engine / clutch/ drivetrain can support so much power...

  Or does it also mean made in Thailand save more $$$. It was reported tt Honda's factory/assembly line in thailand had surpassed e most stringent requirements laid down by Honda Motors N even matched their very own factories in Japan...

  Hi,
  
  Yes, the concept of assemble in Thailand car is inferior to that of Japan, but it may not be, though we canÂ’t blame many pple who think this way.
  
  Honda has a name to hold for themselves, and they would not want to tarnish their own reputation by giving an inferior car. To put it simple, the quality of the car is as good as those in Japan, but due to the fact of lower managing cost in Thailand, the car is somehow slightly cheaper than those of assemble in Japan.
  
  Anyway, all the parts are from Japan still I believe. Was in the past, not too sure now.
  
  Of cos, if you have the extra few thousands to spare, go for the assemble in Japan car if it make you feel better.
  
  Lastly, the Jazz and City are using the same I-DSI engine. The Jazz is using a 1.4 wheras a City 1.5. That's why I'm giving the vote to City, heh, cos of its improved look bigger engine capacity, but most importantly, slightly cheaper.
  
  Me not too sure abt FIT and JAZZ though but I do know that FIT is using 1.5 SOHC Vtec Engine and the JAZZ a DSI engine.

  Hi all,
  
  I was reading on Honda's website that they are going to start making the Jazz in their factory in China.
  
  The Jazz uses a 1.3l Dsi engine and a 1.5l Vtec motor.
  
  cheers

  OK I feel very strongly on this QC issues.
  
  I have also heard about the QC in Thailand improving and meeting the Japanese requirements etc etc etc.
  
  BUT...
  
  The proof is in the end product. Trust me, don't take anyones' words. Go down _yourself_ to the Honda showroom. Sit inside the new City. THUMP and BANG on the panels and the inside of the doors. See and feel and hear the rattles? My 10+ year old Honda feels more solid then this brand new car. And I was at the showroom and the bloody display model city had pieces of trim falling off! The rubber door seal had _completely_ dropped off and not a single Kah Motor employee bothered to do anything about it (they too busy taking orders and earning commision).
  
  Don't trust all those propaganda news reports or car reviews. Go down yourself and see.
  
  Btw, the materials in the Jazz/Fit slightly better then the City too. Press on the cabin materials, you can feel it.
