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:

**redmugenjazz** · 09-09-2008 01:05 AM

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
