Actually, guys, you are right, I open the hood of my car and it is made in Thailand. And I am in Malaysia, so how am I suppose to know Aus Jazz is Made in Thailand? I am totally confused about my location.
Anyway, in Malaysia
The Jazz IDSI is made in Thailand
The Jazz VTEC WAS made in Japan up until late last year, Malaysia staretd importing Jazz VTEC from Thailand.

Honda Automotive Thailand Co. Ltd (HATC) produces City, CRV, Accord (US Spec), Civic (GLi and hybrid) and Jazz.
Anyway don't want to make any commotion about this as I can’t confirm which models are actually exported into Australia, but Honda Thailand also exports to Japan (I don't know which model). The below are some details I read in Automotive Trade Magazine. The Australia Model manufacture plates also doesn't specify where the cars are made from. Anyway, The magazine doesn't say in details what is exported to Australia but it would be stupid for not taking the FTA agreement available in a demanding market such as Aus.
Also I think u or we should becareful with "The rest are made in Japan"
"The production base in Thailand, Honda are prepare to produced
the new small passenger car to export to Japan under the body structure of
Global Small Platform. Honda already invest about 1,000 million baht to develop its Mold System and the machine for produce Engine and Cylinder block. Now the factory at Ayutthaya already doubled its production since last April.
Under the privelege from freetrade area under AFTA, AICO and FTA agreement and the parts supportation under the policy of Honda 's Global Supply Network. Honda Automotive (Thailand) Co., Ltd will export the following models globally - Accord, Civic, City, CRV and Jazz" 2003 News
“HATC's manufacturing plant in Ayutthaya province has been producing Accord, Civic, CR-V and City models, and becomes the third plant in the world to produce the Jazz (Fit), together with Honda plants in Japan and Brazil. In May 2003, HATC's production capacity was nearly doubled from the original 70,000 units to 120,000 units per year in order to meet increasing demand from domestic and overseas markets. HATC currently exports products to ASEAN countries, Japan, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa. Exports of Jazz to ASEAN countries will be considered if demand reaches adequate levels.” 2003 News
from what I know, Honda Jazz/Fit body structure is on a new global platform, is currently using a new 3 dimensional platform which has been said is one of the strongest and rigid body Honda has design. Even the guy from Spoon says the body structure is amazing.
Thailand start making Jazz in 2002 or 2003. HATC is also the 3rd largest manufacture now for Honda manufactureing both cars, motorcycle, engines, parts and all kinds of other Honda products. Wouldn't be surprise if the engine was made in Thailand.Quote:

I thought my 2003 Jazz was made and imported from Japan since the day I picked up my car from the dealer because the sales told me that it's from Japan. Well.....now I have to question his claim in whether he meant the car was made in Japan or the design and parts were from Japan or he just meant Honda is from Japan???
don't worry, ur car made in japan
lol
sunny, u make us feel better but I dun mind getting Thai Jazz since they got rear disc man.
How about the 05 VTi-S Jazz? Are they imported from somewhere else other than Japan?
I always thought Australian Jazz were imported from Japan.
PS, How much does it cost to do a disc-brake conversion?
Rear brake disc conversation cost like $800 AUD i think with all Honda parts
what advantage do i get from disc other than looks?
