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.
