 well puns apart, i may sound like a horsepower junkie. but i feel that you just cannot separate the engine from the car and the car from the engine. the same kappa engine which make the i-10 such a fabulous car, ends up making the i-20 look like a laggard white elephant. Seriously folks, i'll get a pain in my chest sitting in a 6 lac car with curtain airbags and watch a 3.5 lac wagonr whizz past me. wont need 6 airbags at that slow speed anyways. my good o'l seat belts would suffice. anyways back to the topic. its really disappointing coz even with such hi-funda techno stuff like i-vtec, the jazz makes only about 90 ps. only 5 ps more than the suzuki K-12M in the Ritz, which is also a much lighter car (no wonder govt. ARAI says the mileage is 17.7kmpl in real world driving). Honda engines are known for their refinement, but i would at any point of time love a good ol'growl (vroom) from the exhaust and 10-15 bhp extra BHP certainly wont hurt. they come a lot handy in panic situations, say you are overtaking on the highway and a truck suddenly appears from the opposite side. agreed curtain airbags would also come handy here, but i would rather spend my hard earned money on a punchy engine, good handling and a very decent pair of brakes. No wonder we have people in team-bhp who have waited 3-4 months for a swift VDI, 190nm torque on tap at 2500rpm, beat that. honda jazz just withers with 110nm , that too at 4800 rpm!! honda you gotta be kidding me!  Note from the Team-BHP Support Team : Please take the time to use proper punctuation as per Team-BHP rules. Avoid...typing...like...this. Thanks. Last edited by Jaggu : 25th May 2009 at 17:08.

Honda, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that just one variant would do for us mere mortals.  Any Honda fans plonking down the booking amount without even taking a look at the car? | |
