any of you ppl had any issues with the quality of the jazz interior?

[Pogi]

no issues whatsoever...our vti didnt come with a cig lighter tho..just the port...now i cant use it macgyver style

are you having problems? can you be specific about which part in the interior?

[Jus-10]

Mine is still good (although it has only faced 14,000km of easy driving).

I have had no probs at all....

[ahcash]

easy driving? are you sure Jus10?

Mine have no issue.. except for occasion rattles at the dashboard.

ive brained my jazz from day 1, no issues at all, interior is a bit grubby, but no quality issues whatsoever.

im impressed, 50 thousand kays of trouble free motoring

Mine rattles like no tomorrow. Suspension is a bit hard for my liking. Seats aren't too comfortable for my bad back and also back seats are terrible.

Gear shifts are not as smooth as when new so I guess syncro's are wearing out? Guess its just age. Had it for 2 years and done 44 000kms

[kuso]

Oh forgot to add, aircon smell is terrible now. Can't get rid of it now matter what I do.

Finally jazz seems to be jolty and jerky ride at low rpms. Maybe its me putting it to too low rpm but when i accelerate its real jerky even on first and second gears.

had mine for 2 yrs sitting on 55000kms now. drives/feel as smooth as new, gear shifts hasnt changed, AC has done less than 1000kms so no smell..

i guess u just gotta baby it since brand new.

[miZagnes]

my jazz still pretty new.. just one year old.. everything still as smooth as when i bought it a year ago..

[QuintessentiaLs]

Well obviously if you don't take care of it then it's gonna create issues... Mines hitting two years on 45000+ and still smooth as a baby... No noise, no issues... Still smells new too hehehe

[Catcha]

yep mine is nearly 45000km and still is great and quiet, still can't hear the engine when stationary at lights. aircon did smell at one stage but has gone now..........great car, think my tyres are due to be replace soon

its been hassle free, But I do service mine every 5000km

These years it's always b/w European cars and Japanese cars.

My uncle works as a repairs-man, in his opinion, all Europeans are crap. He said, he's got mid-age friends bought Beemers and Audis, but they all sold em and bought Lexus and High-end Honda meaning Acura e.g. Legend.

With no doubt, youth are more likely to buy 2nd hand Japanese racing cars coz they are cheap and quick as well, so is their massive availability.

According to him, European cars are perfect in the first 3 to 4 years but becoming loads of problems after that. Also, European cars are simply cargo shipped to Australia without localized tuning, while Nippons (the Japanese) spent a couple of minutes making cars more adjustable to Australian atmosphere.

After all Europeans swap to new cars every 3 or 4 years, that's probably why their cars only have shorter life cycles, they are more expensive because they are more cautious about using thicker metals and aluminum for safety, Japanese are more price-to-the-value sort of type, they care about safety as much as Europeans but they are smarter over the cost.

Talking about life cycles, just pay attention when there are cars breaking down on road, you might not see much Japanese cars towed, but most of the European cars, Beemer mostly. My driving instructor used a Toyota Corolla for many years, it never went back for a single repair except for regular services. My repairs-man uncle's Honda CR-V never had problem at all.

Saying so much, I'm bit lost of myself, ha ha ha ha. Anyway, I watch WRC and am a fan of Citroen WRC team, I aint rich and I bought a Jazz VTI, if I'd spend more in the future and alter to bigger cars, I would go for Japanese again, like Liberty 2.5, or Accord Euro, or Odessey.

One more, forget about Korean, Malaysian and upcoming Chinese cars, they are simply not ready yet.
