I called Honda dealer in Adelaide last Friday and he told me that cars will be in dealerships on 18 August. It would be really good to test drive it this weekend. :)
Can you 'Honda guys' (preferably from South Oz) confirm availability of new Jazz for test drive this weekend.

pics dont work since last time!!!!

Anybody know if we're getting the USB/Ipod connection option, and what about hands free bluetooth?

USB/IPod Yes, bluetooth is an option now so now reason why it won't be an option later.

hmm..........i've saw 2 new 2009 model Jazz on the weekend in WA already. They look better then in photos.

most dealerships should have them now, we have about 5-6 atm

no i mean i saw it on the streets!!! 1 black and 1 silver. Mother fucXer! How come everyone is telling me that you only can license and pick up your car after 1 SEPT????? One of the silver VTIS jazz is from Honda North!

You can only pick up the car after the 1st of september beacause thats when the first batch of cars will be ariving. During the first or the second week of september. not long left though....

ohh yeh and btw the price will drop dramatically by 2k in 3 months time during the end of year sale. :)

these cars may have been dealer registered demonstrators?

how does the black one look?

Black is nice dude..... but I think the white is the best. Just wish it was a pearlescent white.

Tofu i've been told honda dealers had a conference on the new jazz and all employees where able to test drive each one of the models. it probably was them.

ohh and btw no moon roof nor sunroof for the new jazz even on the vti-s model in australia :(... and cant choose the active plus+ body kit as an option just like japan. also the vti-s dosnt have a leather stearing wheel.... but overall still good. still won the small car award in japan or something rather.

will rear wing spolier become part of optional? or not even exist anymore??

Because you're a n00b. :p

Manufacturers don't want the cars reported until after September 1st to make launch month look massive on VFACTS so they can beat their chests wildly.

Some dealer can "bend" the rules. I got told the same thing that you only can pick up the new jazz after end of AUGUST.It is clearly the new 09 jazz i saw with custom private number plates. Today i've got a JAZZ Showbag and i've got a copy of the new JAZZ brochure and accesories brochure. A lot of the item is optional. Carbon fibre alike side mirror, diffuser bodykits (look very good!). Fog lights, rear tailgate spoiler. etc. I have taken photos and posted on photo bucket.

im pretty sure we have that option in AUS. to get a jazz pearlescent white. I'm test driving one at my local dealership this saturday. will be test the Auto and manual..

Considering downgrading, due to my driving style and fuel consumption which is killing me, Readinf reveiws they say this will give you 5.1-5.5 litre p/100kms on public roads, and 4.1-4.5 on freeways..

my dc5r does 10-11.. really considering it since i do 500km a week:thumbsup:

im 92438569503245739485% sure u cant!

I saw the Taffeta White VTi-S jazz yesterday and it looks racey!

Not sure how much of a difference this is to "Championship white'...

Well considering Taffeta is a solid white.... and Championship White is pearlescent and traditionally limited to R cars... I guess your shit out of luck. Thought you would have been aware of that being an R owner and all.

Saw a launch of the new Jazz at Scotts Honda, Artarmon last night.

Couple of issues I didn't like:

* Boot in the jazz is now covered by a rear, removable parcel shelf, rather than a wind-up cover. The Parcel shelf is totally impractical seeing that its a lot harder to store in the car when you put the back seats down. Overheard a few complaints about this last night.

* Fog lights are a $450 (installed) option on the VTi-S. (Standard on previous model)

* Leather steering wheel is not an option on the VTi-S. (Standard on the previous VTi-S model)

Yet the marketing manager bloats on how prices haven't changed! What a joke!

Yes, we get Cruise control (WOW, a button on the steering wheel!) and curtain airbags (Which I'll never probably use!).

Seems we have lost a few tangible/usable features.

On the plus:
* Cabin is more airy than the outgoing model.
* Seats are slightly bigger and more supportive.
* Steering wheel adjustment (Tilt and telescopic) is excellent.
* Window sill seems slightly higher which gives an impression of more protection. I like!

Just a few observations. Will take it for a test drive sometime soon..

isn't the new Jazz a few grand cheaper?
maybe that's how/why they can make it cheaper by taking stuff out.

Nope, same pricing as before, as far as I've been told.
(And the marketing manager blabbed on about)

Just put a deposit on the VTI manual. Pricing are pretty much the same as the GD. Must say the GE interior is quite nice. Too bad that we don't get the moon roof as an option.

Hey Spoon, mind tell us what extra goodies did you get with the VTI and how much? did you get cruise control as extra?

Didn't get much goodies only scored free mats lol......no cruise control as they only come standard on the vti-s. 22k for the VTI. Car is there and ready but cant pick it up until the end of Aug (official release date). Suppose if I waited for a few months , I might've got a better price!

Check your facts before you get on your soap-box hahaha - the VTiS sitting in front of my office has a STANDARD LEATHER STEERING-WHEEL...

The pricing structure for this model HASNT changed technically.. but the spec option HAS. The bse-model GLi is the same price as the old model however we now have the 'Safety Pack' option like other manufacturers. The GLi (SP) adds $1,000 for the side and curtain airbags (and also the trip-computer functions) and as for the VTi and VTiS, we only have the Safety Pack varients. so the price on the car is the same plus $1,000 for the extra airbags.

I'm glad you dont care about Cruise Control, but from my experience on the floor, half of our Jazz customers ask for Cruise Control as an option, and from my personal experience, city driving without cruise control is a pain and I greatly welcome the Cruise COntrol and see it as quite a substantial feature / upgrade to the new mode - it's just a pity it's ONLY on the VTiS model. Believe it or not, Cruise control is more than 'just a button' on the steering wheel hahaha..

as for you not 'using' the airbags.. no comment.. darwinian theory pops into mind hahahaha

I agree with everything you say bar the cruise being good for the city... I find little use for it in city driving but definately great on freeways/motorway.

haha yeah i guess that's a personal thing.. some people dont feel comfortable using cruise in the city.. but the roads I drive are littered with speed-cameras not to mention 50 zones etc.

I want a JAZZ type-R !

Suzuki got a Swift SPORT with bucket seats and stuff, Honda should bring on a JAZZ type-R with a L15A 1.5L i-VTEC DOHC 100KW+ motor!

dont think there will ever be a jazz type R, but if anything i would still like to see a jazz vti-r at least. Imagine one with 100kw, retuned susp, and bucket seats.....woohooo!

Honda has gone all fuddy-duddy of late with their sport variants which is crap!

If they were to do it to the jazz, it would just be a sticker job and bigger wheels at most, ala Current Civic type R, and Previous Integra type R.

honda aus wont bring 1 in as the base is JAZZ = efficient car not some sport car like Civic type r.. lol

in their review for not putting stability ctrl because its not necessary for a slow car <-- whats is the meaning of slow according to honda huh??

does any1 know if you can get after market stuff already for the jazz 09.. i.e. SPOON

LOL..

i looked at yahoo jp this is what they got atm..
Suspension
RS-R coilover, springs
Tein Coilover

Handlings,
Cusco under braces, swaybars, strut bars

Others,
2din head unit facia
LED tail light
BODY KIT!!!! alot of them and looks nice :p

Performance
HKS muffler
TopFuel intake system
Kart Station Intake system <- best i have seen! come with the duct too (45.000 yen)
Powergetter muffler

i guess for exhaust system they are similar to the GD3 model..
the engine are basicly same.. L15 or L13 just upgraded HEAD!! to i-Vtec..

NOPE only 1 available and its even an option on the vti-s model, which came std factory before =.=..

we had the shot 1 not the over hang type the 1 similar to the old1

a jazz is a slow car!

still can reach 220 :p

lol i think its not so much slow as the situations it will be driving in are generally going to be city driving/careful driving as the main demographs for the car are older people and women.

if u want stability control just put a bunch of fish tanks in the back, water should counterbalance;)

i test drove the new VTI-s the other day, what a yellow colour haha. the transmission is the thing have to get use to if you are thinking of upgrading. the rest is nice, cant complain much. better tyres on them now, sound deadning pretty good too. the interior is hektik with plenty of holes for storage lol,.. .. a bitch to clean

new design of course more new features.

but seriously I think new jazz is a bit over rated for the $ I would buy a secondhand Euro or EP3.

But its still good for missus : )

You say that, but really what has the new jazz gained or lost over the old one?
Gains over old model:
Some more airbags, some more power/torque, maybe a style upgrade, cruise control on the VTI-S, AUX Jack, proper independant rear suspension/rear disc brakes. Anything else?
Losses over old model: Wing mounted side indicators (not standard on old VTi), Electronic folding mirrors (surely a cool thing -its standard on a $16k yet a $600 option on a Merc CLS500), LED Rear Lights (which, oddly, other market new jazzzzzes get - maybe it contains rear fog lights which aren't needed here) and the really easy and cool old radio controls, Standard front fog lights on VTi-S.

And plus: Where is the panoramic roof and climate control on o/s markets?

This is a link to the Honda Thailand website which is where our jazzes are made and look at thier one:

hey do you know if this is dohc or single cam with i vtec?

sohc still which comes with 2 stage vtec .. thats what they said .. i cant confirm them..

2 stg vtec, is it true that the first kick is from the butterfly valve opening (3-4k) and the second is when the cams kick in (5-5.5k)?

GOT my GE8 jazz Yesterday ;) will post up picture soon!

The handling of this new jazz is AWESOME!! is like driving the EG hatch or my old CD5 accord with a little bit of sussy done.

The jazz with stock suspension can still take corner pretty quick!! and not much of the body roll!

thumbs up for the stability!

but i had 1 thing to ask
Do you guys had VTI-S manual? mine doesn't come with ARM REST !!!

i asked the dealer they don't even know yet.. because is the first shippment and they dont have many VTi-S man.. apparently only 1 on them which i took,

thx

Arm rest is optional?

IT'S a tick on the brochures!! im might get a complain to the honda Australia if i found it it didn't come with the VTi-S jazz lol..

Says on website it's optional extra...

it comes on the vtis, thats it

nope you're right, my mistake :confused:

the arm rest only for the auto VTIs

hemph.. but its not written on the brochure that the vti-s doesnt comes with it. which every 1 refers to.

may i know where you got the assumption from?

because im not happy regarding to this :thumbdwn:

read somewhere (overseas forum) its illegal to have the arm rest on the manuel cos it get in the way going from 2nd->3rd and 4th to 5th

I do think it is illegal, i have a landcruiser in manual with the standard armrest console

hey sassy, sorry didnt make it clear, i was reading on a jazz GE forum. it was either fitfreak or sg.fit. but i am pretty sure you can buy aftermarket ones.

Last week, Drive and Carsguide both had first drives with the Jazz. This week, they both had first drives with the new Ford Fiesta.

Simply, on paper, Honda has disappointed me with the pricing/value of the Aus Jazz compared to the JDM and US spec, and even the Thailand specs. We're losing a lot of good options here, for no foreseeable benefits.

The Fiesta Zetec (the equivalent to the VTI-S), is estimated to be around $21000, so lets say when it does get released in a couple months, it will be the same as the VTI-S. The spec list is nigh on impressive. Points of difference that are known are:
Sports suspension,
keyless ignition via start button,
wireless bluetooth connectivity (which comes standard on even the mid-model),
wing mirror indicators,
fog lights,
rear spoiler,
cruise control (mid-model std),
full ipod integration via USB,
plus the safety pack that is included includes knee airbags and stability control on top of what honda offer.

Plus to put what might be the final nail in the coffin of my honda jazz dream, the first year of Fiestas will be imported from Germany where they are built, and then from then on it will be from Thailand.

Most of these are simply options on the Jazz VTI-S, while they are standard on the Fiesta Zetec, and we have to foot the bill. Others arent even available or the choice has been taken away from us by Honda Australia, who seem to have little sway in the Honda World Family, because they could have brought over a great car, and we are given something that is somewhat of a tough decision to make compared to the competition.

New Jazz is freaky expensive for a hatchback..

Quote from dealer for AUTO spec VTIS $27,100 drive away, VTI $24,600 drive away. WTF?

The way too expensive IMO. Even buying a used DC5R and EP3R is better alternative.

Honda's vehicle always stick with higher price compare to another brand, and we have no chance to select the extra options, dissppoint...

Second that, I think the new Honda Jazz shape looks quite nice but i believe the old shape is better value for money !!!

Agreed the Jazz has been let down by the greed of Honda Australia and it is overpriced , however when it comes to re-sale value it will beat the Ford and most other cars hands down :wave:

This is our 3rd Jazz , the 1st one i sold for $2000 above my payout figure , the second one i could have sold it for $1700 above my payout figure but decided to keep it for one of my sons :)

So i cannot praise the Jazz more when it comes to keeping its re-sale value , other cars are cheaper to buy but their resale value plummets after 3 years to next to nil :thumbdwn:

Cheers

ya, resale price is one of selling point for Jazz, and this is reason why ppl choose honda over other brands, so just pick your own choice when u in the market.

hm.... my fren had a vtis jazz for 3.5 years, bought for around $25k when it was just released and sold for $15k. 10k in 3.5 years.... is this considered good compared with other makes and models??

i believe its the same as the current model. i do also think that the jazz is expensive for a small car...

your friend is joey?

i used to be able to justify paying abit more for a honda than its rivals, mind u i had 2 gd3 before.. both built in japan,, but i can't justify doing it for a thailand built...

but the disc brake and new engine are indeed temping :(

I think the location not affect the quality, own Thailand made's 8th civic and new accord, and they are all good quality.

location has no way affected quality, if people here know honda (and i should hope they do) then they would know that honda tries to be the name known for quality, they are incredibly stringint on wat is put out there and are miticulous in there checking and maintaining of standards, no matter where it is produced
