Jazz Petrol owners, how's the NVH like when cruising on highway, say 110kph...?

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...?
QUOTE(croomaniac @ Jan 27 2014, 10:29 AM) The wind noise is there, quite obvious, but not that irritating.. but for me, the tire noise is noticeable depends on road surfaces, especially rough surface roads.. Thanks for the input... I assume the wind noise is generated by the side mirrors...?Looks like I need to do some soundproofing a bit to reduce tire noise... |

Coming from Alza, here are my comments below:
QUOTE(farghmee @ Jan 28 2014, 01:47 PM) Not surprised. My Alza has a 42l tank, but every time when fuel goes low, I manage to fill only 32l...QUOTE(croomaniac @ Jan 28 2014, 03:33 PM) [SA6YEuro] I'm gonna test on your discovered issues definitely.. About the air-cond button, the light (i think not LED) beneath it should made the button a little heat up over time.. Minuses of Jazz equivalent to Alza:But all and all, my comments so far are: [1] There is no 110 kmh mark on the speedometer. So you'll have to agak-agak the needle.. [2] The alarm. Oh.. (I think this may be because of the 'cost reduction?') [3] The sound of the horn. Its just too 'soft' (I think this may be because of the 'cost reduction?') [4] The rear lights (3 tier); the bottom part is solely for decoration only. (I think this may be because of the 'cost reduction?') Apart from that I'm all ok. Though I'd like to change the rims and tires so that it'll perform better. Among all of them, the plus that i'd like to highlight: [1] Its equipped with VSC [2] Ultraseats [3] Rear legroom And the main reason why i choose this car against Vios (yes, I'll have to admit that I drilled down to this 2 cars after months of surveys and arguments) is the Ultraseats.. Yupp.. Honda has made me choose the car based on this X-Factor.. which proved decisive enough against the counterpart.. [1] Alza does not have the 110kph mark. Even worse, the instrument panel is not directly in front of the driver, but at the center of the dash, which makes 110kph mark even harder to judge... [2] Even the Alza does not have the alarm other than the blaring sissy horn, which comes to the next point... [3] Change it to air-horn... [4] This point I do not understand. Care to clarify further...? Plusses of Jazz: [1] Something that Alza and even most Toyota cars do not have [2] Strong point of Jazz, no arguments there... [3] Alza has even more legroom if the middle row is extended all the way to the back... I guess it's a small sacrifice to make for a possible move to Jazz... As for the 5k interval, I've asked one SA regarding this, he honestly told me that he couldn't answer this question as it was rather technical in nature. My guess is, since it's using SOHC engine, which some people claimed they're old engine tech, perhaps that explains why it needs frequent servicing...? An alternative explanation could be - Honda mau profit $$$... EDIT: For comparison with my old ride, I'm putting up the minuses of Jazz compared to Alza instead: [1] No bluetooth, so no hands-free built in... [2] No steering audio control... [3] No center armrest, only driver armrest... [4] No foot pedal parking brake, gonna have delay on immediate take off on traffic junctions - e.g engage D gear, then release handbrake on Jazz, as opposed to simultaneous engaging of gear and disengaging of foot brake on Alza...

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 29 2014, 04:41 PM) 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... So wanna find out if the Jazz interior looks better with leather and sits better and comfier on it... |

QUOTE(farghmee @ Jan 30 2014, 10:17 AM) i once have the same thought of putting a leather cover, Just worried the hard dashboard will invite mickey mouse and co overtime just like my Alza... But what to expect for 75k... but now i find fabric is ok as it is. vios' interior is ok-ok only. need soft-touch dashboard? i don't sleep on dashboard Anyone got any major problems on Jazz so far...? AFAIK, CKD Jazz has only been 6 months into production. However I do get people (by word of mouth) saying that after a year or so these (presumably CBU) models developed gearbox and other issues... I've had headaches on my Alza as a lemon, just don't want to get another lemon this time... |

QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2014, 03:38 PM) They don't come with Pilot Sport 3 is all i can tell you. So, don't expect it to be grippy. Wah...! You spied on my post...? 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. PS3 is exactly what I had in mind and what I'm hoping to get as replacements while trading in the stock tyres... 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... This post has been edited by Eithanius: Feb 4 2014, 03:43 PM |

QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2014, 03:48 PM) 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... crap...! then I missed my Alza with PS3s on it... 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... |

QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2014, 04:09 PM) well... any tires is the same... most importantly is to drive safely and sensibly... 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.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... 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... |
