    It makes sense - it's an owners car, not a drivers car.

    Given the same amount of money and similar criteria I'd probably have stretched for the Mazda 2 Personally....but my sister didn't want to spend an extra $5,000 for stuff she'd not use.

    Like,you know, Handling.

    Do tell how much disc space you've got after intalling it, mine shows has a 465gb disc with 400gb free. Only with the PS3 3.15 firmware installed.

    Yep, the only reason i'd buy one of these things is the factory installed LPG system.

    456GB is normal for a 500GB drive due to geeky reasoning involving binary not converting to decimal cleanly. As for the PS3 losing the other 65GB.. I'd assume a limitation in the file system.

    It's really not that bad, truthfully. Your Eurosnob Hatershades aside

    I recommended something else, but as I said, it's an owners car, and the points Bluey made are right - Warranty, Large manufacturer and cheap servicing....

    Explain why you would buy a Honda Jazz over this - the both handle poorly, the Jazz might be roomier but it's also as slow, as cumbersome, and costs more at every conceivable point.

    what? i wouldn't. as i've said previously in another thread some time back, they are both so dismal i am hard pressed to tell which one is more shit. also, i had the abysmal misfortune of driving them back to back, like within minutes of each other. What action i'd done to incite that particular bit of bad karma, i have no idea.

    Shall I read out the list?

    They are a particular type of vehicle suitable for a particular type of undiscerning road user. My sister being one.

    Also, her friend thinks it's "Sporty Looking".

    Her friend is Also from Tasmania, so opinions to be taken with a grain of salt.

    It meets it's target market well enough.

    Some folks will buy designer labels and justify the need. Others buy the cheapest t-shirt.
    They both do equally well in wet t-shirt competitions
