hi.

how about merging both, make this the official first thread !

I was told OTR price is RM94,800. Much higher than expected..

Not rm85k? Walao.. Too expensive for small car without import tax.

yes,before that shud be 85k but duno why now changed to around 95

Because our global car P3-21A still not yet ready to challenge japanese super mini, "Drive To Believe"

but 8 airbags......(correct me)
pay more for more safety....maybe worth it?

Should be 95k as govt know this not fully hibrid to get tax rebate

correct me if i'm wrong, i remember insight was not fully hybrid as well, but still getting tax rebate..

lol... no such thing, if it is not hybrid, it won't even be below the price of Petrol only version of Jazz. It is either qualified (<2.0l Hybrid) or not qualified (>2.0l Hybrid or non hybrid) for the 100% import duty & excise tax exemptions. No such definition of "Not fully hybrid" in their policy.

and no, our Cronies BN government is not giving us tax rebate, just exemption. still have the cost of AP (god knows how much they charge or "Pocketed" for AP) and 10% Sales Tax


I guess the only reason is Honda Malaysia don't want to kill honda city sales and too "tamak" so mark up higher

- they don't want to kill City sales, especially with the facelift coming (which is quite ugly)
- they have to retain the current Jazz 1.5 customers so that they wont go into rage mode because the Jazz 1.5 value for sure will drop even more.
- they need to bring the model pricing closer back to the Jazz 1.5 so that it wont look awkward with the huge price gap (115k vs 85k)

The price is around 95k. Get the info from my friend who see the car already

this sux. was really considering it @ 85k. now 95k totally not worth it.

That is actually quite sad, they should price it lower to encourage ppl to adopt greener cars. Oh well, this is Malaysia, you can never guess when the cronies government is going to withdraw those exemptions...so i guess Honda Malaysia is not taking any chances and try to earn the most of it for Hybrid cars for this few years..

We need change!

Buying a Honda is now no longer value for money

anemic engines
fugly designs
lousy materials

This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: Mar 15 2012, 10:47 AM

It is still worth it, if compare to the Petrol only Jazz counterpart

and not too mention the much lesser tax and duty that have to be paid to our gov to let them live like kings and queens and spend it like nobody business (This is one of the main reason I bought Insight )

This post has been edited by psyeo: Mar 15 2012, 11:03 AM

why not add a few k and get the insight?

what is the point of this Jazz hybrid? so that ppl can choose a smaller hybrid (with almost the same price)?

I think we are missing one point. Toyota Prius C can ge 35km for 1 litres so what is the performance for this Honda Jazz Hybrid ? It is a 96K versus 94K investment question.

Go to http://toyota.jp/aqua/001_p_001/spec/spec/index.html to find
out the spec for Toyota Aqua if you got a JP Window installed.

By the way Honda Jazz=Fit in Japan or not but I am not sure because got many variation like fully EV etc,
Toyota Prius C - Aqua in Japan.

This post has been edited by fred131: Mar 15 2012, 11:57 AM

Actually if Jazz is priced @ 94K really then nothing to shout lor...

According to this site www.honda.co.jp/Fit/webcatalog/ecology
Fit Hybrid 1.3L in Japan has a fuel consumption of 30km/L

Definitely Toyota Prius C is the better choice for fuel efficiency. Otherwise Honda Jazz has a more
stylist look. Maybe Honda Jazz 1.3L (85K) is better for cost performance

This post has been edited by fred131: Mar 15 2012, 12:26 PM

if they can achieve 35km/l as claimed in real life that it is a superb investment. The original Prius they quoted 38km/l, but most real life users get around 19 to 25km/l

---

Added on March 15, 2012, 12:31 pmi doubt Honda Jazz can achieve that in real life situation too.. more of 19 to 23km/l

unless both cars are driven at constant speed of 70 to 80km/h with unlimited supply of battery power, then yes, that is very possible

---

Added on March 15, 2012, 12:37 pmA more accurate and real life comparison of average fc for Insight, Prius, Prius C and Civic Hybrid... They don't have Fit Hybrid in the States yet.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?act...=32183&id=31190

From there you can see that all the advertisement here only shows super ideal condition. While in the States they have to show real life average mpg

Update from a serious Honda salesman comparing Prius C to Hybrid
(to be fair to Honda)

Prius C/Jazz Hybrid
Capacity :
1.5L/1.3L
Japan10.15 Fuel Consumption comparison :
35.4/30 (km/L)
Waranty :
3 years on both engine and battery/3 years on engine and 5 years on battery
Battery cost :
12K/7K
Honda salesman said the Prius cannot run without a battery while honda jazz Hybrid still work even without a battery.
Availability :
4.5 months/7 days for silver and green Jazz

but I have not testdrive yet so don't know.

This post has been edited by fred131: Mar 15 2012, 02:58 PM

The pricing dissappoinment was created by Honda themselves, just look at the number of ads in Mudah putting the car at 85 to 87K in the same time putting a lot hopes in a lot of ppl including myself...lol

Was ready to get this car for the wifey but now have to cancel plan..

I just booked but struggle on whether to get the connex and accesories of $3.6k and $2.5k respective? Will it be cheaper if buy the accessory outside?

so any one bought the car already?

Hi Achilles, ETA for your car arrival at the sales office would be ? which type of accessories your getting

the SA said around June, I am looking at Front Grill, Spoiler, foot light, side step garnish, alloy pedals. Perhaps the connex for peace of miind

...

Right - understood well, then you have to prepare for another extra few K

how come so fast, mind to tell what color he/she order? is it green?

Jazz got 8 airbag

ive check out the car again today.. visit honda to place my booking for crz. Honestly the jazz is worth it eventho priced at 95k, it make sense also price cant be cheaper than the ckd honda city or else it'll create havoc or prob gov dont let it.

but at price with almost 15k cheaper than previous jazz, u still get all the space,.jazz seats tech, 8 airbags, better fuel eco, auto aircond, rain sensor, hybrid tech than previous jazz. i say it is a pretty good deal. I cant think of any car now that kinda range have same spec and all above.

same range ex-
prius C
fiesta

Me if no problem, will receive taffeta white Jazz hybrid next month..

why u so late?

Added on March 21, 2012, 8:05 am

Ahhh really dig the crz..but family need space & auto GB.

This post has been edited by TripleJ104: Mar 21 2012, 08:05 AM

where you buy? so fast? I choice the silver color in Penang. Did your SA give you any discount?

i like crz but booked jazz...
i cannot only think for myself, need to bring along family member

means confirmed going for Hybrid Jazz Already. any freebies that you care to share from Honda a ?

got some discount but din ask for freebies, to ask for more maybe buy few batch later

Yong Ming Motor JB...i take the taffeta white. Hmmm SA didnt say anything about discount..can u comfirm got discount or not?

Added on March 23, 2012, 8:58 ami know how u feel...almost take the crz.

This post has been edited by TripleJ104: Mar 23 2012, 08:58 AM

Went test driving the new Jazz since my kelik kept promoting it so much. Actually it's not as bad as I thought. Power is there and we r doing our part for mother nature too. Hehe. I mean 95K for a fully imported Japanese car is a small price to pay. I think need to wait 2-3 months for the car. Heard that they r building a new factory for Jazz to be made locally end of the year. So better get this CBU now. Tempted.

Then I itchy hand and go test drive CRZ. The SA asked me if I know to drive manual or not?! Haha!! Put to first gear and set to sport mode. The car like wanna fly. Cool!! Even managed to tail an Audi A8 during the long stretch. Eventually I lose of course. Haha!! But the car is really good. Just that it's not suitable for me as I'm starting a family soon. So this is out of the question.

No discount according to the SA that normally new model normally don't have discount but he willing the reduce some of her commission.

Btw, did you buy any accessories, like spoiler from them, worth to buy original or outside?

SA did mention that others colour will be in after april wo

Yup, SA said now all the colors are available too.
But need to wait 2-3months is it?

Look like not much ppl place order. I guess those in Lowyat forum is 2 or 3 ppls only including me.

My loan approved and I am going to check with SA when I can get the car, initially said around June.. hope dont neet to wait that long..

Ya la, seemed like very little movement in here ... maybe it's still very new.

Do you have any discount or freebies bro? I got some offer from a SA out station.

Promise to have stock for me mid Apr. Still considering now.

I think april and may would be the time

i saw green on the door . really nice and its 'GREEN

I think some dealer got stock. Still considering as mentioned.

Wanna ask, insight leg space is smaller than Jazz right?
I felt it's smaller la .. js wanna ask some opinion on this

well i think is smaller, interms of size also smaller is preference . you can just go to honda showroom again and check again.

i saw there is issue with insight battery also after 36k

confirmed. driving insight now. jazz definitely got more leg rooms for 5 persons.

Nice ! : ) Jazz Hybrid really quite dunno got people buy or not

which is better? jazz hybrid or insight hybrid? or prius?

just wondering the service maintenance costs for jazz hybrid..would it be the same as insight? in honda website, it is the same as city i-vtec..betoi ka..?

Where do your guys service your Honda ?

I don't like their services centre but for hybrid car I guess you have to go back to their service centre. No choice

yeah - for warranty sake - need to send it back to honda "any one out there knows how to service Hybrid cars ? can recon .

mm i think the service should be the same with Insight wut base on information provided by SA? got alot of different ?

jazz hybrid or insight hybrid is just a normal car to maintanence. Just follow the price and won't have any big trouble on this.

Outside shop didn't have any info how to service the hybrid car at the moment but if they have info or the service manual, nothing is impossible.

insider news .....

honda considering bringing in thailand build jazz hybrid for around 85k +

comparing to japan make jazz hybrid 95k........


so you all think about it loh ?

Nope....have to pay the cost. Roughly rm2k++.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:01 amBut im still in 'Q' getting Taffeta White Jazz. Demn...

This post has been edited by TripleJ104: Apr 2 2012, 09:01 AM

me

Nice colour indeed. But need to wait for a while. I saw the green one on the road. Really nice.

Yeap...Small car look big with white color. Yeah me also saw the green one OTR. Its really green..

any suggestion where i can scout for good quality door visor need to do some survey cause the market price ranging from RM130 to RM180, do you plan to install visor?

Look at this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjEUvreNE5Q&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHiYSAenanM...=endscreen&NR=1

This proven Honda ACE (Advance Compatibility Engineering) really works... look at the A pillar and roof deform...

booked the jazz, initially wanted the insight but insight in terms of leg room is smaller than the jazz. booked black but SA said earliest can get is end of April. So he offered me the silver instead, getting it this Saturday!

I saw the accessories offered by Honda Malaysia, I think the spoiler is the most worthy. the side step garnish my SA said its stick on like a sticker, better get it outside.

As for Connex, definitely worthy as it offers you peace of mind. If your car is stolen, you will be compensated RM5000 immediately for inconvenience, if it is not recovered within 72 hours , ud get compensated cash RM10000, and then subsidy of RM15000 off your next Honda. Just by loosing your car u'd get RM30k on top of your insured value, and Honda's insurance is quite good. Give you full! Take that money (Connex; RM30k + Sum insured= RM92k= RM122k and u can upgrade yourself to a new ride.

Heard there were alot of fraud cases whereby they try to make their own cars disappear!

I think the Prius C is a much better car so most people already jump to the toyota camp.

ya, but its gonna be an endless debate, jazz vs prius c

Agreed I think ultimately is preference. and both have pro and cons.

well any best price for connex?

this week for silver ! that's fast

yeah, one of the reasons i change from black to silver, coz fast unfortunately no discounts or promo for the Connex (to my knowledge) but good thing is that you can add it to your loan, no need to out fork cash in one go!

Alright thanks for the advice. Btw mind if I ask which Honda Branch or Sa you visit
cause mine still need to wait for silver

will waiting haha

got mine from seremban, they have 1 only, more coming mid April. lucky coz someone switched colours from silver to white. so i was next in line

no wonder lah cause I think the next shipment is coming

silver easy to maintain i hope -

silver very easy to maintain, am driving a silver myvi now. you dont wash for 1 month still doesnt look too bad haha!

haha I guess alot of people are getting insight Instead. But personally i tried Insight I really like the front dash design but the rear only. and it has a spare tyre

agreed, most bought an Insight. But I like the Jazz coz of the leg room that's all actually and the fact it is not a Hybrid teardrop design.

i was planning to get an insight, turned to cr-z but i would prefer jazz over insight if i would to buy a roomier car with hybrid tech.. even compared to prius c, that 1 extra paddle airbag doesnt seems to make a big diff lol.. ppl comparing jazz only got 6 airbag and prius got 7! but where is the 1 come from? bottom leg tiny airbag :/

This post has been edited by kevafk: Apr 4 2012, 06:04 PM

haha right I mean at the end of the day the extra air bag does help I suppose . " depending on the impact" well if the extra airbag will feel much safer for the owner, by all means go ahead with it.

but I think the advantage for both cars is the CBU thingy. If the prius C would be slightly bigger, i would have fall for it as well

nevertheless is preference cause there is always Toyota and Honda Fan boys around

cheers !

can't wait for noobling reviews Do share yoo

Got the car for a week, basically it is city car with quiet engine if maintain below 2.5k rpm, however the top glove box do make some noise due to hard plastic material, the IMA do help at low speed but not smooth when it engaged, better leg room and head room compare to insight. Cheers

Share some pics with us on ur new ride bro. How's the performance like, and your fuel consumption?

actually, if you physically count the number of airbags in the car, the Jazz has 8 airbags in total. Dealers advice Honda HQ but they already printed the catalog and brochures in the thousands already!

Added on April 5, 2012, 12:21 pmcar arrived showroom and did PDI already. Today getting it tinted and sand blast no. plate to the windows, and registering. Tonight or tomorrow should be out.

Anyway, saw the spoiler on the test drive car, and to me doesnt look good. I prefer it without the spoiler, just my personal taste i guess.

This post has been edited by noobling: Apr 5 2012, 12:21 PM

Haha, have not taken any photo yet; didn't calculate the fuel consumption yet, first refill 32 liters with 400+ km on the trip meter, all city drive. Performance is adequate for town driving except the auto shut may caused some delay at junction, so i prefer to use s mode with the peddle shifter, Overall it is a fun car to drive and the look is more suitable for ladies. No plan to add cosmetic changes to avoid addtional weight

This post has been edited by bond: Apr 5 2012, 01:24 PM

so fast, what color you are getting and from where? My SA said need to wait till May, btw, I'm getting Silver

Hmmm Rm60+- = 400km++? Maybe engine still new or maybe due to stop & go traffic in city.

So far the function all good?

Mine is silver too... first batch only silver and green... Btw i think there is about 50+ dealers nation wide so may be certain dealers may still have stock

---

Added on April 6, 2012, 12:21 amThe trip computer estimated about 600km to refill when full tank; hopefully the fc will improve over time... Or i should stop using s mode... Only drive in d with gentle right foot...

---

Added on April 6, 2012, 12:33 amYes so far so good except some rattling sound from cooler box...

Btw tested the abs and vsa, useful for this little car

Battery reliability is yet to be tested, anyway it come with 5 years or 140000km warranty...

Was told wind screen cost 5k++

This post has been edited by bond: Apr 6 2012, 12:39 AM

I'm also considering a Jazz Hybrid, but curious on the leg room bit. Is it there is more leg room for the driver or passenger in the Jazz hybrid?

Also just wondering in the audio department if the Jazz Hybrid comes with 2,4 or 6 speakers? Seems like some indicated is 2, while some is 6. Just wondering how many are actually installed?

Yes, there is more room at passanger side, passanger seat can be adjust two level, upper for normal ride, lower can sleep more relax, lazy style. speaker not sure.

Hi there is not mistaken is 2 pairs

I can't find the satellite speaker infront

Hi guys, thanks for the info:) How's the car going by the way? Hopefully the milegae is up to expectations.

I'm pretty much set on the Jazz with the only exception being is the concern about battery deterioration under the hot sun. Not sure if that will happen though or is a no issue.

Got the car on Friday noon, so far i've clocked about 320km. My consumption so far is averaging about 5.6l/100km, i think it can do better, as i was trying real world driving, driviing about 120-130kmh on the highway.

I think the 5 years warranty on battery should put your fears away, or do like most ppl do, sell your car when it reaches 5 years old


This post has been edited by noobling: Apr 9 2012, 10:25 AM

LOL....looks like after 5 years we will be getting lots of second hand hybrid cars. Also means low resale value for them.

Me at b.m
My s.a said i will get my white car on early may....,

low resale value? but if gov take back the exemption tax for hybrid...the price will increase thus making 2ndhand car value also high

I hope it is just wishful thinking . Even if tax is re-introduced I don't think consumers will be so dumb as to pay price+tax for 2nd hand when they know the vehicle was registered during a tax-exempt year.

white is nice ! super VIP if you like modding . White with chrome excellent !

any feedbacks so far like insight owners. Some need to perform firmware update to get good fc and such

Guess anything is possible. Won't be the first time the resale price of a car goes up due to certain events e.g price hike etc. But i'd give it 50/50, coming from a person that still doesn't own the jazz hybrid (me). Saw quite a few on the road and they look good.

Just placed my booking on this car (silver) 2 weeks ago. My SA told me that the possibility getting this car is at the end of this month. @sequid, are u booking ur car with JM motor?
