Speaking of Jazz...

MY2012 Subcompact Comparo:

1) Honda Jazz (Fit)

2) Toyota Vios (Yaris)

3) Nissan Versa

4) Hyundai Accent

5)Ford Fiesta

All with the 5 speed manual.
Sorry for no images, on phone now.
 
Tough choice between the Fit and Fiesta. I'd have the Fiesta if it's the UK spec version, if not then I'll take the Fit.

Out of curiousity, how does the US car differ from EU spec?

Same tough choice between Fit and Fiesta.
Since Im a Honda man I'll have the Fit, numb clutch and all. :lol:

I'll take the '69 Dart... The '70's is when classic muscle started to die out with the oil crisis.

Compact/Hatchbacks: Ford Fiesta. Always was a fun little car.

OK....

Here's a Top Gear Hatchback Showdown

2013 Renault Clio v 2013 Peugeot 2008 GTI v 2013 Ford Fiesta ST

Personally, I'd take the Peugeot..... as much as I hate Peugeot for their horrible placement of certain parts on their cars, everyone loves popping the back wheel on a hatchback
 
1997 Mazda MX-6 LS - $2,900, 164 HP 2.5L V6

Compact Hot Hatches: Hmmmm.... A tough choice between the Fiesta, Fit and the Hyundai.

If the Elantra isn't the GT version, I'll pass on it. So I'll take the Fit and the Fiesta ST.

Euro Hot Hatches: The 207 GTI and the Fiesta ST is hard choice for me, but since I took the Fiesta before, I'll have the Peugeot.

MX-6 vs. Prelude: I'll take the Prelude hands down! Because H22 and Mugen. ;)

You realize the BB6 Prelude actually has about 200hp right? Either way, the Prelude.

The BB6 does. Whether he was meaning to or not, GT916 posted the JDM BB5/BB7 Prelude Si that actually has the F22B, not the H22A.

I'd still prefer the Prelude anyway. The MX-6 is underrated, but that doesn't mean it's better :)
 
Compact Hatches: I'll have the Fiesta since it looks quite good and is likely the best to drive.

Junior Hot Hatches: I already posted this comparison so I'll still have the Fiesta ST.

MX-6 vs Prelude: MX-6 as it's different from the pretty bland Prelude.

Prelude. Looks nicer.

Actually surprised you didn't pick the MX-6 because of what's under the hood.

A good friend of mine had one (tanish gold and without that spoiler). I was surprised when I popped the hood to see the Ford Probe engine. Not a bad car actually.
If I had to choose one, it would be the Prelude. Reason is because I could barely fit into the MX-6, a inch or two of head room doesn't cut it for me. Prelude I can fit in.
 
I did consider it but at the end of the day I prefered the looks of the Prelude.
 
Aren't those basically Miatas? Didn't knew they were called MX5 etc.. When I went to a car show I tried to sit in one and my knees hit the steering wheel with the seat all the way back.

The MX-6 look nothing like a Miata, and it's also larger. Dunno how you confused the two.
 
I'm surprised people are taking the Prelude. I'd take the MX-6 because: 1. It has a faster V6 2. It's cheaper 3. It's unique. The only reason I'd take the Prelude is: 1. It's easier to tune 2. It may look a bit better.

I have never seen a MX-6 (which I have seen about five of them) that had a V6. Everyone I have seen has the 4 cylinder engine from Ford. Only seen the base models, not the LS model.

Space inside is lacking by a huge margin. I have sat in the back of one and it was completely pointless. That car would have been so much better if it was a two seater. The front seat sat way to high, and I constantly hit my head on the headliner (keep in mind I am only six feet tall).
 
2013 Renault Clio v. 2013 Peugeot 2008 GTI v. 2013 Ford Fiesta ST: As much as I like the Renault, I'd have to go with the ST.

MX-6 v. Prelude: Considering the MX-6 was related to the Ford Probe, I think I'd have to go with the Prelude.
