2013 still got stock??? Thought jazz petrol is selling like hot cakes!

not sure... but if honda puts the stupid promo up on their website.. that means it's still there...

i think those fellas who got their car very close to end december should go complaint to honda about it...at least get back a bit of money better than nothing....

Anyone here who uses iPod or iPhone to listen to music on the Jazz...? Was wondering if the Honda-supplied iPod/iPhone connectivity can be used to charge an iPhone... And there's no way for me to answer calls (hands-free) using that connector, is there...?
I doubt it has ipod compatibility although the USB will charge the phone i believe. And there is no microphone or bluetooth in the car for hands free mode.

Jazz Petrol owners, how's the NVH like when cruising on highway, say 110kph...?
*
how to describe? and also there must be a comparison against a certain something to establish the difference.

QUOTE(Nicholas_YK @ Jan 25 2014, 11:24 PM)
i heard from my friend one full tank can go up to approximately 420-430km..
should be possible if your friend is traveling constantly at higher speeds without much stops with a fairly low throttle input...

i once did a quarter tank on the gauge for around 110KM (1 shot drove the 100+KM, round trip to KLIA)... and then once i got back to KL jam... only managed another 60KM out of the rest of the quarter tank...didn't remember to see how much fuel i used for that 1 short trip to KLIA. But i think it's around 13kpl on my OBDII monitor... the car is a petrol guzzler in traffic no matter how you feather the throttle... i just give up feathering it now when i am in traffic...

3. from catalog, 42L fulltank. normally @32L empty, fuel empty indicator lit on.
*
of course no car will show indicator only when it is down to the rock bottom of the tank... the indicator should logically come on before it reaches the empty indicator which is logically what drivers use as the absolute minimum for them to go fill up... so, the indicator is supposed to come on to remind the driver that they are almost reaching that empty indicator while in actual fact... there might be several more liters just below that indicator because knowing all ignorant people... letting the car die once it reaches that empty indicator is calling for trouble...

QUOTE(SA6YEuro @ Jan 28 2014, 02:40 PM)
Unfortunately no. I too have asked this before. Even if full syn, interval is still 5k or 3mths. Their excuse is our engine is not the latest. Only applicable to new models, not mistaken new civic.

I don't like visiting SC too frequently that's why I asked. I don't mind paying more twice a year rather than pay them 4 times a year. Wasting time  yawn.gif
*
actually... they don't have a longer or larger fill element to take car of longer service intervals....

actually also... having to service less also saves you labor fees as you have to pay more hours if you had to go more times... so a longer service interval might save you some money in that direction...

QUOTE(crayzee @ Jan 28 2014, 08:14 PM)
Yeah that's my main concern too. My usage is pretty low about 5k in 6months. I dont want to visit SC 4 times a year sad.gif
*
unfortunately, that cannot be avoided as they don't find alternatives and i pretty much see no point paying extra for the more expensive lubricant as i don't feel any difference... there is an even more expensive red bottle of fully synthetic that they tried to stick me with... cost something like 200 bucks...

QUOTE(mdnurman @ Jan 28 2014, 09:34 PM)
i have checked with honda senawang when i tested drive city and jazz that service interval depends on the motor oil. if use fully syn.. will be 10k km. if semi-syn.. will be 5k km
*
better double confirm with whoever is giving you that information because they really don't know the product that they are selling... many of us have gathered and asked over many SC's and the answer is not possible...if you've done it... i bet a lot of us is glad to know...

QUOTE(SA6YEuro @ Jan 28 2014, 09:42 PM)
I m concerned that the A/C button may fail, melt or even fall apart over time.

1. I guess it's a matter of getting used to. At least the speedometer is decently big.
the A/C button won't fail la... the passenger light is even hotter than it and i've accidentally left it on for the whole night and even that did not cause any problems...those things can take some heat...

actually... for a speed to show 110kph... you need one that has odd number indicators like most of the euro cars instead of the even number indicators (20 - 40 -60 - 80 - 100 - 120)...there is no one thing that can satisfy everyone and what if speed limits get upped to 120kph?

QUOTE(SA6YEuro @ Jan 28 2014, 09:47 PM)
I have asked GA and Sri Utama SC recently on this. Both gave the same answer. 5k or 3mths. I ll try another SC next as I due for my 1st 5k service next week.
*
most likely same answer...

The Jazz's blue black seats looks bland. I've even got people advising me against getting a Jazz becoz it has el-cheapo interior, instead top up more for Vios... rclxub.gif

So wanna find out if the Jazz interior looks better with leather and sits better and comfier on it...
*
Don't think it makes much of a difference... on top of it... i think leather will not suit Jazz in an overall look... Accord, maybe... Jazz no...

comfier or not depends on what leather you are willing to spend on... and you need to take care of it or it will crack after years under the sun...

They don't come with Pilot Sport 3 is all i can tell you. So, don't expect it to be grippy.

That being said, it is not like it is lathered with oil to begin with.

They are usually GT3 or some conti comfort contact i think.

Wah...! You spied on my post...? ph34r.gif

PS3 is exactly what I had in mind and what I'm hoping to get as replacements while trading in the stock tyres...  brows.gif  brows.gif

I was hoping the stock tyres can last me a year or two before replacing them... That's why I need to know what stock tyres they're bundling...
*
seriously... you know how much PS3 costs in the market right... it won't be stuck onto cars like a CKD'ed jazz... i think in the honda range.. only the accord 2.4 is fitted with ps3...

furthermore... PS3 has no size in what the Jazz stock rim uses... you will at least have to make a move to 205/50/r16 or 205/45/r16 where the tires itself costs in excess of RM450 per piece i believe... maybe even RM500...

well... any tires is the same... most importantly is to drive safely and sensibly...

if you drive faster because you think you have grippier rubber... it defeats the purpose in the first place...

the price gap between different tires in smaller sizes are usually not as big as the bigger sizes... once you reach something like 17 / 18"... the jump is usually not very acceptable...

something like yoko A.Drive R1 will cost like RM300 per piece, toyo t1r around RM400, and then PS3 close to RM500... all in the same size...

Mine comes with GT3. Not bad la. I heard some people changed their tyres only to find out that the original ones are quieter.

grip, noise, price... choose 2...

the GT3 is a compromise or would i say a balanced of all 3 criteria... so, can't complain much in that respect...

I don't drive fast with it... I whack corners with it coz I'm the person who hates unnecessary braking and accelerating... My Alza came with noisy and hard Silverstone Synergy M5 tires, skidded a few times and braking easily triggers ABS.

Less than a year later I decided to change all 4 donuts, at that time PS3 were just worth 10 bucks more a piece compared to XM2, so I opted PS3 instead and never regretted that decision... No ABS kicked in ever since, it really gives me the braking power I needed, knowing that Alza has lousy brakes. Few months back I ran into a sandy corner, lost grip for a second and fortunately rolled back onto newly tarred road, immediately feeling the grip as if ESP kicked in just inches from a kerb.

I still have a quieter XM2 on my sister's MyVi and just few days ago, that set of XM2s skidded when I put in harder than usual acceleration (and for some odd reason her car seems to be a little more torquey than other MyVis)...

XM2 has the size for Jazz stock rims but...  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
well... it is good to understand the tires limits and drive within it... driving like that on a known clear piece of road is ok... but trying to roll into a corner faster than normal not knowing what is hidden from view is just plain crazy jus for the sake of saving petrol... tires, ABS, and ESP can save you once or twice but not forever... there are many ways to save petrol, fast in fast out is never a sane way of achieving it when a crash is going to cost you more than what you save over a long period of time....

anyways, which dictionary on earth does not classify whacking corners as driving fast? tongue.gif

jazz stock tires is 175/65/r15 wor...

http://www.michelin.com.my/Products-Servic...lot%20Sport%203

i dun think ps3 have that in size...unless speedometer accuracy is not a concern for you...

You guys noticed the highlighted section... CKD quality I presumed...  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

This picture courtesy of www.wemotor.com was taken during the Jazz CKD launch...

Your cars have that...? unsure.gif
Sorry for having a pair of sharp eyes, can't help it... ph34r.gif

you might also want to start niggling on the fact that the upper glove compartment is not very flush with the dashboard after closing... some gaps between the dashboard...

this is no Lexus... for 20k less than a thai CBU unit it's what you might come to expect a little of this kind of things... it's no deal killer...

Its not bad la... other than spec difference... the other things can be ignored for that amount of reduction...

if it was that batch where there was grade v and s that time... there really was so much more options that come with the car... but it costed 100k back then even with thai cbu...

as for build quality...have driven jazz hybrid full japan import before...bout 3yo by now belonging to my family and maybe the build quality is jus tat slightly better... jus maybe... or maybe its a mental thing...
