Thinking about getting a Jazz.
My main concern is about the maintenance schedule.
I only average 6000KM a year.
Do I need to go service center every 3 months as stated on Honda's website to keep my warranty?

But yea, 5000KM interval is kinda bull.

can someone comment on how the car electric power steering feels like at 110km/h and the road/wind noise at that speed?

yea, i was thinking the same thing.
i felt the jazz is a little overprice, cause fiesta 1.4 is only 60k after rebate.
sure it's got a lot more equipment, but i'm buying a car not the accessories.

i just test drove a jazz hybrid.
it's my first time handling an eps.
coming from hydraulic power steering and even no power steering.
welp it sucks, if you want to feel the road but it is easy to maneuver tight corners and slow speed city driving.
i didn't get to test it 100km/h, too much traffic.
the seating position felt high and you get the feeling of driving a minivan.
well, it is a minivan. a reduced toyota estima.
a lot of torque so it accelerates really good, for in town speeds.
the cbu comes with michelin tyres and the ckd with some goodyear. that itself makes the cbu a better buy.

it's not a driver's car, which is fine because it;s for my sister.

ladies, what did you expect? she sat in the back seat.
this was in pj near jalan universiti.
rebate only RM4000.
mofaz RM5190.

ask your foot.

minor cracks just glue it.
wait for ckd parts.
????
profit

so you think auto lock worth more than solid disc brakes compared to the drum brakes on ckd?
and side curtain airbags, cruise control, michelin tyres, etc.
i don't think you have your priorities right.
as for the brake pads, you can always replace with some other brand.

fit is a best seller there and fit shuttle is car of the year.

achievement unlocked.
it's like xbawks.

is that thing locked to the break pedal?
i don't get it. if you bypass the electronics you can still steal the car.

picked up my sister's jazz yesterday.
everything was fine,
except spider web scratches on the paint and leftover wax on the edges.
damn, they need a detailer.

cbu is out of stock.

only get ckd if you truly like the car or they have a huge discount.

it's not a jerk,
it's vtak kicks in yo.

try mofaz taman tun dr.ismail.
they had all cbu colours on the show floor when i check last month.

mitsubishi mirage can get the same fuel milage for cheaper.
only get the jazz if you want the slightly larger boot space and cabin.
and a lot of torque.

just tell them to wash the car and not to wax it.
their waxing kinda sub par.
give them a call early.

drove to the airport today.
4.7l/100km.
the total mileage is now 270KM.
vibration from auto stop is nonsense, i get a slight jolt for the first few times, now it humms.
the only problem with auto stop is when i'm going into parking and it dies.
another when i want super fast response in a T junction. i guess you should put it in S for this.

the jerking is also not a problem, it's just the electric motor kicking in.
acceleration is good. getting to 80km/h is effortless. after that to 120 needs more gas if you want faster.
cruising at 110 is effortless with ~2000rpm.
it's so calm and composed it doesn't feels like you're going 110.

the suspension is stiff, even my wira is softer.
it can't be helped, you do get a larger boot because of the torsion beam suspension.
handling is good though.
those bends when exiting the highway, even at 80km/h is good.
the steering is not nervous at high speed.

because the car is tall, you'll feel the turbulence more when passing a huge bus or truck, compared to a low sedan.

road noise is quite low. all the noise seems to come from the door, from other cars.

setting in S, or Second gear as stated in the manual, the acceleration is better. cruising at 110 leave the engine droning at 3000+ rpm.
the simulated gear is way too close to each other.
in D, the paddle shift is only good for climbing steep hills and you step down a gear, it will quickly go back to auto.

in econ mode, well use it when you're cruising on the highway. the throttle response is way too slow.

the speakers are average. my edifier R1600T+ sounds way better.

the folding arm rest is too high and makes it uncomfortable to use.

>I suspect is electric attract the dust.

just saying.

i already told my sister before she made the purchase.
if you want an environmentally friendly car, get a mirage.
she chose the jazz because it's larger and the hybrid is cheaper than the petrol.

of course, you can recycle the nickel back.
so you just rape mother earth once.

get on my level


are you guys even trying?
