i went to the dealer yesterday to check out the vibe, i was impressed by how roomy it is in the back when seats are down and love that big fat climate control screen.

Has anyone ordered any garnish for their new Jazz?
I am wondering if the dash set/door sill garnishes worth $800, quoted from my dealer, are worth it.
I've got the flashing one on my vibe, its included as part of my drive away deal...I was very persistent to get them ..as they really look very nice..with the flashing Blue LED Light.....
the sales manager showed me the RRP cost for it..its $320.00...as he almost gave up on me...hahaha..i was in the dealership for 4.5 hours (bargaining)...and i got them together with tinting, window visor, exclusive mat, back tray rubber...:)
it was a good experience, with Honda..i believe..if they cant lower down the price any longer, then we should ask for more goodies
hope this helps
Thanks for tip. I'll see if I can haggle the dealership if they can include it in my driveaway deal.
I've finally had enough with zero correspondence from my dealer, called other dealers, Honda Australia and they seem to refute all of my dealers 'reasons' claims of delay in shipment. Telephoned my dealer, told them its not funny anymore and finally someone rang back with some details of my order. At any rate it seems its on the ship and is expected to dock 25th March 2012 Brisbane (Marine Traffic). That would place the Vibe-S for approximately mid April for delivery, if I knew it would have been a 3 month wait I would have gone somewhere else or selected a different model line.
i heard of the delay this morn, its really crap as we have about 15 vibe-s on the ship that we were expecting for march for our numbers.
There is nothing that can be done im affraid. I have notified all my customers and they all understand, but in saying that i call most of them every second week just to say hello and that nothing has changed.
Its not the dealers fault for the delay.
Remember we only get payed when the car is delivered.
Hi Levinson, when did you put your order in? And what color? I have not heard anything from my dealer for almost a month too.
@ UNLS1, I understand its not the dealers fault. What I didn't appreciate was the excuses that were given to me for the reason of the delay, each telephone contact I had to initiate and when asked to call me they never did. I would have rather they have informed me off the bat that the delays were unknown. These were the following reasons of the delay given to me with other available information it just didn't fit, names have been omitted. As a customer I just need to be kept in the loop, its easier to lose an existing customer than it is to gain one.
1. Delivery delayed due to Vibe-S models.
a. False: Ozhonda members proudly displaying their Vibe-S models.
b. Another local dealer displayed a Vibe-S (Silver)
2. The colour Silver Storm was last to be applied, missed shipment date.
a. False: I witnessed a Vibe (Storm Silver 1.3 manual),
b. Another local dealer delivered a Storm Silver Vibe-S to a customer
3. Honda Australia has not invoiced the Dealer.
a. Plausible: Another local dealer informed me that once an order has placed Honda Australia contacted the potential owner via telephone to confirm the details of their purchase.
b. Ozhonda forum members also had posted these details and the two collaborates. I was never contacted by Honda Australia in regards to my purchase.
4. 1st delivery was always March.
a. False: February shipment had been delivered.
@Randyrat, initial deposit/purchase date was 20th Jan 2012, Vibe-S (Storm Silver)
Thanks Levinson. It looks like I will have an even longer wait as I placed my order a month after yours. Things are starting to look bleak on my end...
u have been told a bit of interesting info there. Ive had storm silvers delivered last month, its just that all of my cars that i sold and on my screen said march have been delayed to april. I have been updront the whole time and all my customers are fine.
hmm some interesting info there. i can see where the dealer might of been wrong but i can see some of ur answers are also wrong.
Most of the Jazz vibe s i sold in jan were march arrival. they have been delayed to april. That is it, ive got storm silver vibes in stock but not vibe - s.
not all owners were contacted by honda after the purchase, there was a reason why some owners were contacted but i cant be bothered explainig as its not relvent to anything to do with ur car.
