hey guys!!.. i need some help been contemplating on whether i should get a jazz or not..
thing is its a sweet little car that i can just use as a daily.. but i know nothing about it..
i just want something reliable and comfortable and small..
planning on getting one before the end of this year
any tips or advice would be great =)
go test drive.....lol
lol yeah been meaning to go for a test drive but i havent had the chance too yet.. im always at work =(
good little car, spacious and can look pretty nice too :)
But in the end I guess you do have to test drive it cause it is personal preference
get the vti with 7 speed mode.
reckon goes pretty hard out for a little thing.
I have an '07 Jazz VTi and love it. Still surprises me just how quick it can be when pushed. Bang for your buck in the small hatch market, theres not much better in my opinion. Build quality is usual Honda standard, makes cars like a (more expensive) VW Polo blush. Servicings pretty cheap too, even from a dealer.
BUY IT.
SO I CAN DRIVE IT.
yayerz!
great little car, u wouldn't believe the amount of crap i've managed to fit into it. only problem is that it bottoms out with heavy loaded on small road humps cause of the soft suspension, sure u might say that's the case cause it's loaded, but i had 2 75kg dudes in the back seat with a passenger seat person and myself, the rear was also bottoming out occasionally, not as often when loaded with equipment to the craphouse though. fun car to drive, fun to fang around, but again, it's a 1.5 so if ur looking for speed with crazy vtec pull, ur looking for the wrong thing. only got a pod filter in mine, makes a nice sound, feels like ur driving something with some amount of balls lol.
cool little car. Get a vti. Looks plain and simple and is nippy around town.
Decent on fuel too - fill up with cheap E10 and feels the same as 98 lol.
they're good cars, just dont get a current model with cvt as it's guaranteed to fault at some stage. manuals are fine, there are no major issues with those.
otherwise if you are after an auto hold out until the new model comes out which has gone back to a standard auto
Besides Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris RS version is aner choice for you. Honestly, the performance of Yaris RS is much better than the New Honda Fit. However, the interior space of Yaris is not as big as Jazz.
Stick Shift and Automatic are available for both of the cars.
So maybe you can go and test drive.
In HK, Yaris and Jazz are the 2 hottest compact car and in terms of performance, Yaris RS can beat all Honda 1.5 vtec Fit.
I am driving a Honda Jazz myself but if I will choose between the New Yaris RS and the New 1.5 Fit. I will definitely choose the Yaris RS
dude it's obviously a girl that doesn't care less about performanceQuote:

Get it... you will look cool like me lol :p
it's a great little car to drive... and i am sure all the other Jazz owners and non Jazz owners in here will agree with me :thumbsup:
best thing of all there's lots of parts out now for Jazz... :thumbsup:
get it get it!
you want a car for daily driving, and it's good on the petrol.
it's a really easy car to drive, don't really have anything to critize!
i wouldnt personally get one, dont like the look, yeh there a good daily and spaces but meh...You should go by your own opinions people can say there good, people can say there not but its up to you to know if your comfortable in driving it, whether you like the look of it and whether its what you honestly want....theyd be good on fuel you can give that a thumbs up..but yeh personally nah from me..:)
Great cars, especially with the 7 speed cvt. Don't be put off by the same people who warn people off getting the cvt transmission, they say this in nearly every thread that pops up. If you use the correct cvt oil and change it regularly, you wont have a problem.
Dont worry. The new model which is 2006-07 thailand made one uses new CVT oil. I am on my 20k and no shutter at all. If you are afraid you can do a CVT flush every 20k at around $250.
if intend to drive it hard, you'll be surprised what it can do handling wise... but the jazz is much more spacious than the yaris- theres heaps more head room for taller people front and back if thats ever a problem.
was in a similar position tossing and turning between yaris and jazz. the extra flexible bootspace, headroom and the cvt 7 speed made my mind set.
Agree...Jazz is the best hatchback in current market. Definitely better than Yaris.Quote:

all i can say is .. honda jazz :thumbsup:
Wait until the new Jazz comes. Probably early 2009. From what i've seen it won't disappoint.
GD3 is the best!
haha think Vy changed her mind again she is getting a dc5r now... :p
agree ! LOLQuote:

just visited honda dealeship
your stupid vy, buy a commodore
You should definately!
This is a great thread as I'm also looking as a small economical daily driver. Due to budget though I was looking at the GLi also in auto. Since the new model comes out soon and we're looking at buying in July/August then I might pick up a real good deal by then on a VTi. On the other hand I would love a conventional auto as I'm not a fan of CVT. Isn't CVT technology better on fuel though?
