Hi,
I just booked Jazz E model.
I plan to change the seats to leather. Any suggestions where to do it? I don't want to do it in honda because the price is quite high.

Thanks

Any hybrid FL / DCT owners experiencing this during jam ?
Jolting like in the video during gear shift at low speeds (~10-20 km/h).
Skip to 1:08 then just watch for 5 seconds.



Edit:
Done more reading on "bucking". DCT is a manual and should be operated like one.
So if jam and 2 bar battery:
Don't inch forward like those Myvis kissing bumpers.
Release brake pedal, let it roll first, then feather throttle.
Don't even be in this condition in the first damn place. Plan ahead when to charge your batteries or your transmission will hate you, then you'll hate the transmission then hate yourself.
Sacrifice a few 0.5~1km/l to force charge the batteries before reaching jam areas, better safe than sorry.


To anyone thinking that 'oh hybrid will solve DCT stop-and-go traffic problem', well yes and no. ^
Our puny batteries only last 7-9 minutes on 1 speed A/C and ~15 minute on blower only, no A/C.
If your commute has this amount of time stuck in jam, then no worries. Just make sure to top up battery before entering jam.
Else, this car is no different from other DCT during stop-and-go traffic.
Caveat emptor.

Hahahahaha , my Fiesta suffered from this. It's common on DCT ! Anyway got used to it on let the car roll first and then slowly hit brakes . The issue with that is people would squeeze in between (which is fine)

Haven't experienced it yet on Jazz or maybe I have become immune with DCT woes

I agree on our puny batteries , my friend's Ioniq battery seems to be lasting longer. I assume it's because it has a larger battery and Ioniq can only allow driver AC an shut off the rest to save power

Also , do you drive with Eco mode turned on ?

Only remember using Eco thrice since bought.
Have to hunt for the button during driving, it's not at the correct position for me. Literally gave up and got frustrated (just abit) from hunting for the button during driving...
From the time I used it (with battery), during stop-and-go traffic crawl, car seems more likely to regen from super-short-2-car coast though (at 1 bar Charge ), so that might be a good thing if want to maximise battery.
Oh the the throttle becomes suuuper lazy, which is super good for stop-and-go. Less prone to overaccelerate -> brake. I love it.
Guess I'll use it more after break-in engine 1,000km/1month.

Hi frens,

Anybody from here is invited for this weekend Honda event ?

holy shit, the hybrid DCT jackrabbits/rocking back and forth at crawl speed during downhill with very small incline*. Lorry driver behind me must have been pissed as hell for slowing him down.
*engine is charging battery.
*brake pedal fully released to just let it coast downhill. Front car is ~1.5+ car away already. Also remember looking at rear mirror at the lorry driver while thinking "I'm not braking dammit, I'm not braking".
*not using eco mode or sports mode.
*don't recall got apply accelerator or not, probably did not since it's coasting downwards and once jerk, auto reaction is to release pedal to allow it stabilise (but it didn't). At least I think that's what I did.

Anyone found a solution, please let me know how to stop it from jerking back and forth repeatedly. Thanks.
This stretch I will pass by daily. If cant solve... will be fcuked everytime it jams.

Things I'll try next time:
Put it to S mode.
Change to Low Gear.
Tap the accelerator hard to notify TCU to move forward.
Apply slight acceleration to notify TCU car is moving forward.

Nice, just wondering is there any official timing for 0-100km/h sprint? Or is it too inconsistent to get the time. I know hybrid not meant to be used for power, just wondering myself.

heh heh heh, hybrid not meant to be used for power he says.

does this mean, for the first 1000 KM. I have to drive very slow?
2. what is breakin engine means?
3) what happens after that?
4) my odometer still at 300km, still have not drive fast till 120km/h hahaha

Apparently, just drive like normal and don't 100% throttle, don't redline unless emergency.
Don't always cruise control. Just drive normally, y'know sometimes overtake cars, once in a while turn on S mode to hear engine rev unneccesarily, sometimes cruise highway. Just drive normally. Don't baby it, and don't thrash it.

I'm actually a little worried about hybrid, since engine is always half asleep... guess I'll spend a week in S mode, if the transmission doesn't keep getting on my nerves. 1 week left till first inspection.

Wah thats really fast. Imagine if you use S mode

The brochure said sport hybrid. So why not have fun with the torque

The new infotainment system sucks big time. Why the heck the move the usb and hdmi near to the screen istead at the bottom. Not kemas la i must say with wayar and all.haiyooo

I think depends on the charge also

Yes I watch that video before. But you not going to that everyday rite? Just want to know the official time if there is any.

Tell me about it , the new system just succks. It's one of the worst systems ever , and it looks like a cheaply done RM 300 china unit with poor touch screen. Ugh , restrictive touch screen. Common , Honda malaysia can do better

google for honda india digipad and you'll be surprised. Oh that unit was made in Malaysia

Hi guys, does anyone has the honda service list for GE CKD? Just realised HM removed it from their site.
