Honda Jazz/Fit bashers...

"Scott Lee, Forza-team bossman, admitted, "We're not taking the kitchen-sink approach." It's a jab at GT4 that is truly fitting. Who the hell wants to drive a Honda Fit or Toyota Ist? We sure as hell don't. Racing games are exactly that, racing games and it's no fun when your vehicle has neither triple digit horsepower or can attain triple digit velocity."

Hmph.... :thumbdwn: :mad:

He should drive one, it's a nice car.

The other day I was sat in my Jazz near my college just resting before I go back to my class and I hear some people (one of them I knew) from the other college walk by. They said

"Ahh Honda Jazz...." and another guy goes "That's a shit car" :mad: and another saying "It's not a car you would buy"..

What's that meant to mean? It's a nice car...pfft! So angry....makes me want to go out and buy loads of mods to it and show them!!

:D :D That's it.. this game is off my list..

Around my place the only people I see driving jazzes are old grannies. It definitely has a image attached to it (in a negative sense)

Most friends of mine couldn't understand what I saw in it.. right up until I took them for blast down some twisty roads :D

i see lots of different people driving them

a few grannies, a few mums, young girls, young guys. i just think it appeals to many people because it is so versatile. there is somthing about the jazz which is attractive to nearly everyone.

Hence: Me a 22 year old white male driving one!

Yeah I find the negativity towards the Jazz a bit frustrating. However I also remember how I didn't really want to test drive one when originally looking for a car. I basically walked into the showroom because my wife wanted to have a look.

Boy was I suprised when I got into the drivers seat of a 1.5 and hit the gas pedal! I didn't want to like it - and ended up loving it. I don't even remember now what it was that made me not want to drive one originally. I think I saw a cute car and incorrectly assumed it had no performance.

I've owned a number of fast cars before becoming jazz owner. It's very important to me that a car feels like a drivers car. I can't quite quantify this, but a willing engine and slick gearbox is a big part of it. For me the Jazz is a drivers car.

I find myself trying to convince the tire kickers of this, but also know they truely won't appreciate it until they get behind the wheel. It's a bit of a hidden gem and I can't wait to modify it.

The Forza guy says "it's no fun when your vehicle has neither triple digit horsepower or can attain triple digit velocity."

Errm.. Jazz vti ~110hp and does 100km/h without blinking..So by his own statement the Jazz should be in the game!

(A complete guess but i think my jazz could do 190km/h given a very long straight)

jazz can do 200 km/h :)

haha nice, obviously on a private road :P hehe

i think the "triple digit horsepower" his referring is the WHP..i think jazz goes around 90hp at the wheels....and yeah it can do 190kph..:thumbsup:

If other people don't know what their missing then that's their problem. I love watching the big 4WDs, Falcons and Commodores fill up beside me every week at the servo. Surprise surprise I'm always finished 1st.

That leaves more money to spend on my family instead of petrol in a car to try and compensate for personal inadequacies. Maybe they just need some more nasal spray delivery technology.

i couldn't care sh!t about what people think. i enjoy my car and that's the end of it.

Heheh I remember almost 10 years back when I had a mazda rx2 rotary, I'd cop abuse all the time from v8 owners, had things thrown at my car etc. Compared to that a raised eyebrow from someone not liking the jazz is nothing.

I think from my perspective, I'm just wanting more people to share my enthusiasm :P
