most or almost all Pajero jr came from subic so maybe it was converted RHD-LHD?

jazz for me.

you may look to other threads because i'm just newbie here

agree with mikomac on this.
if youre talking about a brand new unit, i'd go with the jazz. fuel consumption is a big factor to consider in favor of the jazz as well.
but if reliable and trusted naman yung seller ng pajero and its in good condition, why not diba? lets wait for the experts.

but in general, brand new trumps 2nd hand.

I assume you are referring to the surplus fit. Both are converted units from japan. For me I would get the fit since you can source spare parts locally without problems. Yung pajero jr mahirap maka hanap dito coz its not sold locally. Passenger and luggage space mas ok din yung jazz. Check mo lang baka putol yung roof sa unit mo. Meron kasi iba surplus cars na hindi putol

I'd rather get a local Honda Jazz.

Between the two, the Pajero Junior is likely to get you more looks on the road, since it's rather unusual (though there are a lot going around).

The Fit is more comfortable, more economical, more practical and doesn't require a PhD in Banawe-ology or your own surplus import business to maintain.

But if you're getting a Fit, why not just get a local secondhand Jazz and slap a Fit badge on it? No fiddling with conversions, no problems with incomplete importation papers, and no worries about sourcing parts for the 4WD model which aren't available here.

Debadging a Jazz and rebadging it as a Fit will take just 10 minutes, too. :p

Pwede din, Honda Fit lagyan mo ng Jazz emblem ... :hysterical:

Kidding aside, I`d get the Honda Jazz. You wont be worrying about the conversion or whatever you're required to do for you to run a Fit. Can be costly if done wrong, IMO.

*niky, 4wd pala ang honda fit ? mhmm ... sounds sweet.

Only if you know what you're getting into. :hysterical: Conversion, papers, blah blah blah ...

Some are, some aren't. The 1st gen JDM Fit also came with a traditional automatic compared to the local CVTs. Which would make it much more desirable, actually, if there were a reliable local source for parts for that transmission.

How much does these vehicles cost? If say, konti lang naman ang idadagdag, better opt for a locally sourced unit. Many converted units have encountered a lot of problems (conversion, parts availability, safety issues, reliability issues).
