Honda Jazz versus BMW 735


Are you thinking of buying a used car? Chances are that you among others can´t decide between Honda Jazz and BMW 735iA. That´s why I´ve set up this duel with both facts and grading of the cars features.
What can I contribute with? I might be the only one in the world with the two cars on my driveway. If not, maybe the only one with the same year model, mileage and colour.

How do they compare?


HondaBMWComment
Looks:33Especially women find the Honda cute. BMW has a massive look, but is not a true beauty.
Equipment:15A wee difference in the options list. See above.
Driver´s enviroment25BMW truly beautiful. You don´t get lost in the Honda though. Almost everything in the right place.
View43Upright position in Honda gives very good view. BMW:s boxshape is good too.
Space and seatcomfort24If you fold down the backseat in Honda and make a twoseater of it, you can get quite a lot of stuff in. Not much seatcomfort though. The BMW is spacious and comfortable. You could wish for a bit more trunkspace if your fuzzy. (Buy a Jetta)
Riding comfort, sound level15Honda is quite bumpy and uncomfortable. BMW is not. Same with noise. Honda has, BMW hasn´t.
On the road24Honda a bit nervous. Understeers heavy when wet. BMW feels safer.
In the city42Honda turns on a dime and can almost be parked across the parking space. Compared with Jazz is BMW like turning a battleship. Servo steering on BMW makes life easier though. Honda dosen´t need it.
Engine/gearbox35BMW as smooth as they come. Silken wallop. Automatic shifts without notice. Honda easy to change gears and has good clutch. Engine a bit noisy but otherwise OK, both warm and cold.
Power24One has, the other hasn´t. Mind you, to be honest you´ll get where you´re going almost as quick with the Honda
Safety15Honda: Your feet is three feet from the front bumper. BMW: You are a bit more protected.
Economy51BMW: two times the fuel consumtion, three times the insurance, three times the road tax. Honda is a piggy bank.


Conclusion:

Which car gets most traffic: Honda, of course. (Money talks)
