jazz petrol ckd... none at all....best @ rm500 out of the SA's own pocket...

jazz hybrid ckd... rm10k and some say rm12k... but no stock until jan... have to be registered by 31st dec 2013 for 10k discount to be in effect...

rumor is rm8k for 2014 registered cars but still 2013 make... and might or might not lose 3 year service....

it's cloth seat.. so, it's not water proof....

you can send it out for cover on leather for the seats... but expect no less than RM1k depending on quality of the leather...

mrz car seat in sungai besi there...

and there is one called lucky car interior or something like that in taman megah...

hybrid is free service (parts + service) for 3 years...

petrol ckd.. nada... only first 5000KM or first 3 service is all free... the rest, self paid...

1K service does nothing as no oil change is involved unless you ask the service center to do it (voluntarily yourself) which means you get charged for the parts...

usually after 5k only some reported it's better and i think those some are the ones who switched to the green bottle fully synthetic 0w-20 oils...

most likely no... the first service is just an inspection by honda... the service usually does not take longer than 1 hour while normal oil changes is over an hour, usually 2...

You need to explain in more detail? Sounds like a problematic car or there is misfiring happening (highly unusual)

On the other hand, stepping on the brakes cuts throttle too on the newer drive by wire models at least..

just make sure you can or know how to reproduce the problem... when reporting it to service center.. they will send a technician out with you for a ride to understand the problem... so, just make sure you can reproduce it and they will assist you however they can...

yes, it's an eco thing..

it can be bypassed by shifting into neutral or putting it in "S" mode....

discount 10k but no stock... have to wait for jan which might not have the same 10k promo... but might still get 8k...

expect no less than 900 per month if you pay 0 downpayment (discount as downpayment) for 9 year hire purchase tenure...

the 10k promo dictates that the car has to be registered by 31st dec 2013...

as for jan 2014 onwards.. no one knows what will be the offer as it is still going to be 2013 made cars...rumor is 8k discount...

what you should do is go around a couple of dealerships and see who has stocks that you want or can deliver fastest with the commitment of the 10k discount... then you make your booking there with 500 bucks...

if they can't deliver on time or without the discount, you can always cancel booking and get back the money (but, please double confirm before you pay the booking that you can get back the money just in case)...

else, i heard the petrol ckd now delivers quite fast with some dealerships delivery as quickly as 2 weeks on certain colors and is as low as 750 per month i think... so, you might want to try there... but the petrol ckd

1. has no discounts
2. you have to fork out down payment of 8k
3. has no 3 year service (parts & labour).. only first 3 service

+- a bit... the hybrid is actually about the same price as the petrol variant with a free 3 year service but there is a caveat to it... the battery of the IMA which is still practically an unknown now... so, it might or it might not be a ticking time bomb if you take too long to repay the car... best if it can be cleared by 5~6 years and you can start considering replacements... battery is not too expensive now... but still a whopping 5k if not wrong...

it's about rm3.3k worth of service over 3 years... but, it is most likely more reliable to drive in the long term if you need to hang on to it for long periods of time...

I think its about there 10kpl for city drives especially if involves slow traffic..watever you can do gets offset once u slows down or stop...u might be able to push 13kpl in those situations..but it will seriously annoy a lot of people behind you...the problem is there is not enough speed to compensate for the losses during the stops to cover back the drops in the kpl when it moves again

15~17kpl is doable on express ways at higher speeds

340k for half tank is really not bad, maybe all smooth expressways... i can barely make it last 200k... all in mid to heavy traffic conditions...

i've done a mid 15kpl run before right after i went to the pumps and reset the trip and by driving along federal to klang and back in clear traffic conditions... but, once i got stuck in the federal jam from sunway bridge towards asia jaya for 15 odd minutes and continue creeping slowly towards mid valley... the thing immediately drop to 11++kpl....

a 50km run at 15kpl drops all the way to 11++kpl in just a short 15 minute bumper to bumper traffic... by the time reach midvalley... left 10kpl and terus drop to 9.5 ~ 9.6 once in midvalley parking....

that's what you call demotivation... haha

i think the question is a double edged sword...

in theory... you should be asking about considering City and Jazz Hybrid since the City is still higher priced at 83k after full discounts and the Jazz Hybrid just a yank over RM80k with a full 3 year free service (no need to fork out a single cent)... price wise after deducting maintenance costs over 3 years... the Jazz Hybrid is actually more or less equal to the CKD Petrol Jazz...

main reason is like what farghmee says... don't need a car that is as big as the City... interior space wise, both cars is about the same... City will inevitably be a little harder to maneuver in tight spots because of longer overhangs on both ends of the car...

regarding boot space... the city does seem to have a certain advantage over Jazz since the listed boot space will inevitably be larger... but, you also have to take into consideration of the Jazz's capability to ferry odd sized things with it's ultraseats... that alone will actually give it even more boot space than the City on top of being able to ferry items that the City cannot while sacrificing rear passenger space...

the look of the jazz is also fancier if you are a youngster and wants a sportier looking car... bodykits (other than modulo and mugen) and stuff is much more readily available for the jazz compared to city...

it is all up to what you want at the end of the day... there is no saying which is right since both are still great cars build from the same platform and the same powerplant...

resale value wise.. .there is no way to know since City is launching a new model sometime very soon apparently and Jazz Petrol should be as low as it can possibly be for the near future until the full hybrid version from japan reaches our shore in the next 1 to 2 years time... and if you look at it... if the new City as some SA from the City thread says is gonna be sold @ RM68k... it might seriously take a hit at the city grade E that costs RM91k now...

the only difference between the current City CKD and the current Jazz CKD is that the Jazz CKD contains more local contents while the City CKD is practically pretty much a Thai based unit but assembled here as Honda R&D malaysia did not spend time trying to localize the car hence the slightly higher price than the Jazz...

people wants to sell at a particular price doesn't mean that the market value is at that level...

that being said... the Jazz is at it's end of it's 2nd generation design lifespan and there is no more mid-term facelifts or anything from Honda Japan since they already announced the 3rd gen Jazz over there... so, price wise it should be stable since Honda Malaysia has already made an effort to further lower the price down from Thai CBU Grade S units previously which was way over RM90k by localizing the car with a lot of local contents..

you can get the spoiler outside... it should be less than the honda modulo ones... trunk tray also possible to get outside... i think as low as rm130 last time i saw in mudah...

i think there is already mounting holes on the car if i am not wrong... didn't see any signs of drilling...

the wheels are a factor too...

especially with bodykit and stock rims.. the car looks a bit weird...

i like this



simple and sporty... the front bumper has to lose the fog lights though...and the grill has to be changed...

but too far away to get it... and costs too much...

this is a complete one..


as for the lights.. not too sure... but i remember seeing that someone mentioned the whole bumper can be used on the current GE8 models...
