Gday,

Just brought a JAZZ 2007 VTI - S with CVT automatic. Just using it as a car for the Mrs and a run around car to the shops ect. ect. When we go away I use my car.

Anyway thought I would join and and have a chat about a few things. I have already read the IPOD adaptor, so will start with that.:thumbsup:

What is it with the few negative threads in regards to the CVT. I thought it drove nice.:confused:

Anyway take it easy.

welcome to OzHonda Toli, IMHO, i'm just not a big fan of autos all together. unless its in a ferrari or something. most mass produced autos are just pure dog boxes. but i guess if its just your run around car its ok.

Welcome mate...

CVT or Manual... different horses for different courses i suppose, but for a run around like you mentioned I would have gone CVT also.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Cheers guys,

Mclovin I tested the auto in the swift and I liked the CVT in the Jazz so much better. It just never is in the wrong gear, could not complain.

hey Jarkz what else would you buy a jazz for besides being a run around.

yeah guess ur right. its just that i worked at a european car dealership as a mechanic and got to experience a lot of autos. all never shifted when told ( sometimes 2 sec delays) which is can be very dangerous. i guess CVT is different though as it doest have to shift between gears. and as i mentioned, if its just for running to the shops and back why wouldnt you go auto.

Have a look a this thread as far as appearance goes to get some ideas on what the jazz boys get up to.

If you looking at performance upgrades most of it is covered on here,

if not make another thread in the noob or jazz section & the jazz boys will sort you out.
