Indeed, shocking isn't it with rear drum brakes.
And the manual transmission still only 5 gears. Honda should put 6 gears for MT to help when cruising over 100 km/h or over. The RPM is quite high with jazz GE when using 5th gear run on 100 km/h or over, which in turn also affecting fuel economy. I saw on Honda official website, even the fuel cons of MT is worse than CVT. But, I still not too confident with this new CVT. There are a lot of problems with old jazz CVT.
I know that most of buyers will buy auto(CVT) trans anyway, so I think Honda doesn't care about adding the 6th gear. Only crazy people like ME who still prefer MT to Auto trans.
