Motorisation of entry level cars

Is it a good rule of thumb to buy the second less cheap motor on small cars, like the Jazz pic related?

>20 K with 1.5 i-VTEC
>17 K with 1.3 i-VTEC

I'm afraid of buying a dull car to drive, and this consideration, while I'm not well versed in automobiles, is on my mind for a long time now. That the cheapest motor would be boring.

Kys.

I don't know user, would a "powerfull" Jazz really be less fun to drive than a standard Civic?

The Jazz is much more modulable, making it perfect for the city/sports lifestyle. Or so I believe

Depends on the car, a lot of car magazines and websites usually compare the different engines. Just look which one they like best.

If you want a car that isn't dull to drive, don't get a Jazz

I have an 8th gen civic now and i test drove a 2nd and 3rd gen fit and they're a lot more fun to drive imo, more peppy and great handling.

>city/sports lifestyle.
marketing bullshit
A new econobox is going to be dull, deal with it or buy something used

this is epic bait.

Okay, less dull to drive then. "Normal to drive but with the ability to go up a ramp" could be a better description. Or "not a veal, without being a racecar".

Thanks for sharing, man of good taste.

>marketing bullshit
Certainly true, but I have been looking for jobs in cities where I can go surfing for longer than I have been looking for a car. 1 week longer exactly. It's just a coincidence that Geneva's car show is now imo.
But besides memeing, no one really answers the main question on motorization (except the gentleman )... :(

The best rule of thumb would be getting something cool like an Evo.
There is no point in spending five digits on a sad economy car
