go search around the car forum for reviews of the car. Try to go to those more common forum, like mycarforum or oneshift for comments by the car owner themselves.

Generally Latio is a good car for everyday drive and of course there may be small problem here and there but that also applied to every made.  For every CVT cars (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, ...) just make sure you don't redline and stress the CVT too much and remember to change CVT oil every 40,000km.

i have been driving latio sports premium for 1 year plus. i can say this is a good family car, spacious and reliable.

Other than some common fault like steering coupling and the suspension, built in lousy headunit but overall i m still happy with my ride. The ride is smooth and quiet.

ask here most likely people will tell you latio better  :bleh:

if you like hatchback then latio sport, one of the nicest looking hatchback around. i believe the slyphy you are looking at is the 1.5 version, i hope its not underpowered.

Actually both the fit and jazz are the same. Same engine, same plateform. The fit is assemble in Thai and Jazz in Japan, but think now both in Thai.

Fit 1.3 and Jazz 1.5, the capacity both are 14xx . Hence same road tax, but fit cheaper due to PI. Jazz more exp due to Kah motor.

I am very happy with my ride (minus lousy HU and common steering column issue) so I will vote for Latio  ;)

However, you are buying OPC => you don't need a car full-time.  You can consider joining a car sharing club if there is one near your home.  With the current pricing, it is a high premium to pay for having your own ride.
