Hong Kong Jazz was a 1.3 as named GLi here, it comes with:
-RS exterior & interior
-16" alloy rims
-LED tail lights
-Side Mirror Indicator Lights
-moonroof (man, it's the big selling point for the new Jazz, it sucks that we don't get one in here)
-F1 +/- shift
-they don't come with CVT either

it's selling around $150,000hkd, around $25,000 in oz *(first 200 Jazz pre-order price)
if aint under the law, i wish we could all bring one here
i love the moonroof alot
i think the au spec is the worst jazz, even the Vti-S comes with nothing

But doesn't that mean that the JDM version is the best?

I would rather just the one model with alot of features or accessories like this. Sure it's 1.3L but the bonus of that is, you'll save petrol.

Great car they have on sale in HK. :thumbsup: crap website. :thumbdwn:

I think the OP meant the best non JDM version. Of course the JDM is the best. :cool:

It's nice and all, but would you buy a 1.3L Jazz for AU$25,000? I would rather just get a Civic VTI or VTI-L.

they just released the new Jazz couple weeks
au$25,000 were for the first of 200 Jazz pre-order price
but yeah, it's a bit pricey

wait, but it comes with sh*t load of parts
like:
-F1 +/- shift ( tempting, huh? for a 1.3GLi):cool:

The moonroof yes. The F1 paddle shift, no, because the AU Jazz VTi-S gets that with a 1.5L engine and $23920. Ripoff though, for 23k, might as well get a Civic.

i hate the VtiS here are using the interior of JDM1.3Fit: the aircon contor
it looks cheap for a VTiS, like a old radio turning the volume

A bargin compared to Singapore. The same Jazz can cost $50k... no joke.

If you talking abt rip off, I think most of stuff in Australia is rip off:(

ridiculously expensive.

just a quick question is hk one also CVT?? if this is the case actually they should be the same. engine wise i try both(old n new) but dun feel much only in lower rev a tad bit more then the old one.
btw I LOVE the moon roof but wonder the damn honda australia will or not.
or else i may consider FIAT 500.

Yeah, that's why they called it moonroof. only good for letting moonlight in. Sunroof works well with the sun but shitall with the moon. Moonroof... i'd get it just for wank factor.

F1 peddle for a GLI? Wats the fun of it when you're driving a 1.3l GLI, it's not like you're driving a 1.3l Rotary engine :p guess it's just for the bling. Other than that the car is pretty decent i must say. 25k for a jazz, it's expensive in oz but it's cheap compared to Singapore.

Moonroof (skyroof) just adds to the feeling of space in a small compact like the Jazz.

It's not only for the FIT that Honda have the Skyroof, they have it for the Freed as well.

this applys to all black car not just jazz n recently i tried 1 used aurion it's A/C is even worse then jazz.
I think honda australia has something wrong with what they think honda - australian market relationship.

you can import 1.5 Fit from Japan to Hong Kong, 35%tax
there have private seller selling fit RS, nearly same price for the hk honda 1.3Jazz

35% tax, but how much all up?

i'm thinkin ising the Jap Fit cheaper than an AUS VTiS?? if the Fit in Jap is say $19k, then add 35% on top of that isnt that bad

talking about collapse currency and.. making profit ? :p thats what you called business LOL!!...

i guess the reason why we dont hv moon roof is coz, australian sun is too strong and hot!!...

we would be baked inside the car .. and it will act like a mini green house car.. and i dont think they provide cover for the moon roof.. its just glass and some kind tinting on it..

i have black jazz. its its hot!! .. took awhile for the aircond to cool down the car =.=...

03-11-2008, 04:51 PM

yeh but still, would be nice if users had the option available

they dont have to make it a standard feature to keep the base model cost down, but at least give us the option of getting it if we can afford the $ ! >_<

sorry mate, i mean you can import a fitRS to Hong Kong
35% was the HK tax
AU was 25%tax but, under the law, you can import a car only if you own it a year in Japan (the country where you bought the car) and you have to stay there as well :(

That is damn hot!

VIP works on so many levels..

That FIT reminds me of this GE FIT posted in the appearance gallery (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1961687&postcount=394) which is equally VIP Hot:cool:

There's so many cool ways to go with this Jazz because the body is great raw material.

my first ACtual black car...

Gold 7th 2001 gen civic
Dark Green 5th 94 Accord
*parents Purple 07 Oddyssey

Black Jazz that i have now.. its kinda hotter than other car that i had.. and not even summer yet..
hence: i have not put sun reflective screen on the wind shield. and i tint my mirror to dark legal..

take awhile to comfy temprature.. and i blast it on 3rd fan.. (max 5)
imagine if you are stuck intrafic.. i guess it even worst coz the car not moving and the no air flowing from outside..

but i guess sacrifice you take :p for getting a nice sleek black look lol!
