its a waste of time on a jazz. sell it and buy a manual, it will ultimately cost you less money

^agreed, more chances of something screwing up if you do a conversion plus cvt > man In terms of pricing

lol not even worth it,

its better to sell ur jazz and go buy a man one. id say it would be at least worth half ur cars value to do it!

sell it and buy a manual

its a big job, its not just a simple matter of changing the box over

Even better, sell it and buy a GE8 manual. I had drive of a GE8 the other day whilst the Euro was in for a service. Nice car. Handles 100 times better. The dash layout is a bit crappy (stereo is off center to the left) but over all it's better than the previous model.

i've been keeping up with your car 040501912, looks damn hot. Makes me wanna get the new models.

I'm in the market to get a car, something not too expensive, with a bit of grunt and not too head turning, don't want potential thieves after my baby ya knoww

Jazz is a very good economical car to drive, it has a little bit of grunt! dont under estimate this little car :p

ive been up to the hills runs and some events with some other ppl who drives skylines, 180sx and other hondas.

believe me this car keeps up all the way from corners through corners.. traaaiiling closely behind their bumpers... but unfortunately the gap widen on the straights... lol..

FD1 civic with r18 and Jazz 1.5 L15 has 1 kw/tone difference! comparing vti civic 103kw/1230kg to vti jazz 88kw/1020kg

and i did tried raced on the strips.. guess what.. he won by 1/4 of the car ahaahaa... i was soo glad to keep up with him just by his side mirror. given by his bigger engine n my tiny engine... lol

good luck with your search
keep in mine Honda city is out too =p if ur in 20K budget fuel economy pocket car lol...

yeahh i know aye
driving my jazz now i love the way it moves, seriously. It was given to me as a bday gift on the condition it's in auto so they can use it too (hows that a gift seriously...).

atm im deciding between a gen 7 celica or the new jazz. I realli want a type R but the price is so high -_-

does ur jazz have rear disc breaks?
