Hi all,

I am interested in getting a petrol Honda Jazz E-spec as a replacement for the Myvi. Considering between getting this or the HR-V.

Would like to know if there are any unresolved issues/problems with the Jazz?

Thank you!

Yes different segments. But the similarities are that both rear seats can be folded down like the Myvi's. Sometimes need the extra space to lug around stuff

Dea GK owners, I would like to check your Jazz is stable up to what speeds on the highway?

Thanks

Define stable?

Stable means no wobbling, floating, vibration, unsafe feeling.

My family's Myvi, 110km/h or more, feels unsafe.
Whereas the Perdana V6 only starts feeling unsafe above 160km/h.


Wanted to have owner's opinions on their car's limits

Well,  unsafe feeling is very dependable on the person to be very frank with you.

If you want the feel of an s-class doing 180. It is definitely not it.  Will it not do 190 without crashing? Hard to say.

One thing that is certain is that it does not have weight on it's side so it is gonna be like a myvi to be frank rather than a vellfire which does 180 easily btw which i followed up to.

The other thing is also the feel when it is carrying only the driver and a full load of passengers where there is quite a huge variation.

For a start,  it is not swaying very badly at high speeds. But is it not very sampan type of feel at 160? I don't really think it is bad,  but my friends being an arse says it is.

In terms of the car's limit. Pretty much never had vsa blinked before intentionally trying to hurl it into turns at speed. Abs might have kicked in numerous times braking deep into the corner entry but never got the vsa kicking in before. Maybe not fast enough.

On tight corners,  and being not very ginger at corner exit with the throttle a couple of times. But not really the car correcting itself during entries.

Well,  stability and limits is pretty much a different thing anyways

To be able to catch up to another vehicle doing 180 is quite amazing.

If it can do 140-150 km/h stably, is good enough for me.

Your wheels are 15 or 16 inches?

180 took quite a while to reach.

Regarding the Jazz's CVT transmission, have you all found the lack of paddle shifters a problem when overtaking slower cars on small narrow roads?

At least with manual or auto tranny, I can push the gear down to 3 so I can accelerate faster.
