Second Gen. Honda Jazz/Fit

[b0y37]

May 'S' (sequential) shifting mode yung 1.5. Para syang manual in the sense na di magsshift automatically yung gears until you tell it to (+/- paddles). Meron sya safety feature / limits, like automatic magsshift to 1st gear pag sobrang bagal or nag stop, tsaka pag matagal na nagre-redline.

May neutral ang a/t, pero it's not recommended for use sa coasting. Additional stress sa tranny kasi, when it tries to shift to higher gears from neutral while at high speed.

Kaya naman ng 1.3 ang 5 adults, lalo na manual pa. Might have some difficulty at inclined roads na. To illustrate, yung mga taxi na vios, usually 1.3L yun 85hp / 122nm torque, kaya maski fully loaded. Meanwhile, ang 1.3 jazz nasa 100hp / 127nm torque. Anyway, sa sister nyo naman, try it out

Sabagay, yung current ride ko nga ngayon is Adventure which is 73HP, 144Nm Torque. I doubt naman na nagagamit ko yung full 144Nm nya on normal driving. Naiakyat ko rin naman ng baguio without any problem.

Yung 1.3MT ng sister ko, 18-20km/l yung indicated when I was running at 100kph. I was simply amazed sa tipid nya! And of course, iba yung interior trim level nya. Very upscale compared to other vehicles of different make.

Hi. Sorry, I have no in-depth experience in driving an AT. Dun sa 1.5 A/T, can it be driven in manual mode? Meaning, shift ka lang kapag gusto mo. Also, wala bang "neutral" sa AT?

Im almost sold in getting a Jazz after driving my sister's yesterday (1.3MT). But im inclined dun sa 1.5AT since usually puno kami. It's sad na walang MT yung 1.5. My primary concern is FC, but still with enough power to haul 5 adults.

sir 1.3 m/t owner here. kung laging puno ang load mo, mag 1.5 ka na. medyo bitin acceleration ng 1.3 pag puno, lalo na pag bukas ang aircon.

Kakainis mag pa pms sa casa.. Dami nnaman gasgas after.. You have to really check for scratches after..

[b0y37]

used the jazz again kanina. 3 adults with 3 kids, marikina to tanay rizal. kaya naman nya yung inclines, nakakaovertake pa nga ako sa mga auvs. although may times na parang bitin yung torque, kelangan lang magdownshift. after 84 km of travel, my fc was 13.5km/l, not bad. i even played catch with an old crv on the way down from antipolo.

kakatapos lang ng 30,000km PMS ko last weekend. umabot din ng 4.7k ang gastos. mukhang mas mahal ang susunod dahil andaming mga kelangan palitan. i'm contemplating on sacrificing the warranty para makatipid sa PMS. sa labas ko na lang ipapagawa. worry ko lang is kung saan ako makakakita ng shop na same quality ng service. nakita ko kasi sa honda na yung brakes nililinis, tapos may parang iniispray. yung tires sinusukat. baka kasi pag sa labas, hindi gagawin yun.

sa mga nagpapa-PMS sa labas, may mairerecommend ba kayo na ok na shop?

Try JD mechanics if malapit ka sa pampanga. Madami ng GE pumupunta doon. Di pa ako nagpaservice sa kanila pero mas maalaga GE kasi GE owner din may-ari. And you can select high grade oil an filter na di lalampas sa bayad ng pms sa CASA..

* sir b0y37. Na try ko na GE ko sa NLEX and SCTEX 15-16.5km/l FC nya. Cruising at 100km, minsan di namamalayan nasa 120kph kana. Kaya i'm sticking to 90kph. Me kasama baby sa ride eh.

depende kung saang area ka boss. tama si sir roelrpt if pampanga area, you can go to JD mechanics. Sa south naman, you can go with Bridgestone Alabang and avail their PMS package just bring your own oil and filter. You can also go to Hongly/Pitworkz along Sucat ave.

If QC area naman, i know Speedlab and Honda Spa are reputable shops din. If sa may Sikatuna, MP33

+1 sabawballs. the 1.3a/t is definitely not underpowered. 1-2 (or even 3) km/L difference lang vs the 1.5 a/t, but if it will be used as a daily city car, it'll translate to a huge savings in gas expense. the 1.5V has a lot of goodies which make it a good buy over the 1.3S (e.g. paddle shifters, RS body kit, fog lamps, 16s wheels including spare).

the only known issue i've heard of about the jazz is the taffeta white paint spotting, which is posted somewhere here in tsikot. you can always opt for another color. other than that, it's mechanically sound and reliable

Thanks sa reply
And thanks to all.

My Cruze also has manual shifting, but i don't use it so much. Seems like the Jazz is a reliable car. I'll be using it as my everday car around Cavite. Then weekends in Manila. and holidays out of town. I like the 1.5v, but i dont think i'll be needing all those things, except for the fog lights which i find useful. As for the manual shifting...i have it also in the cruze but i rarely find myself using it.
How's the PMS prices?
Just to compare..for my Cruze it's every 6months or 10k kms whichever comes first.
1st PMS: 6k
2nd PMS: 7k
3rd PMS: 14k (changed brake pads, 7k for a pair)
4th PMS: 7k

My TCM (transmission control module) was replaced a year ago, i didnt have to spend a centavo since it was under warranty, but i saw the price of the item. 70k! I realized, what if this happened after my warranty, could i source the part outside the casa? So, this reason had me thinking on probably switching over to a Japanese car with parts available locally. Other than that, the Cruze is a solid car..but this time I think we need to think about being able to maintain a car after warranty.

[roelrpt]

sir magkano ba K&N? TY..

2500 po sir + 200 shipping.

[pcuerpo]

KrisKros, seems PMS is slightly cheaper sa Jazz even sa casa by 1k or 2k siguro... schedule is the same, every 6 months or 10k kms... for parts, there should be a lot around in surplus shops nowadays compared to how it was 1-2 years ago so parts shouldnt be a problem... pero no known major issues for the GE so far after being around for more than 4 years... go make that shift already, you'd clearly enjoy driving the Jazz ;)

[b0y37]

hi guys. has anyone of you installed a cai sa ge nyo? noticeable ba yung added hp?

[brooom]

Mga sir, magkano inabot nyo sa pa paint ng spoon side mirrors niyo at sa spoiler?

[pcuerpo]

b0y37, galing nako ng K&N Typhoon, yung short ram intake lang and shifted to CAI... noticeable pa yung gains and performance better pa siguro if i have my car re-tuned... naka optimized kasi setting ko sa short ram, wala pako budget magpa-tune and im still eying some more mods kaya tinitiis ko na lang... may lag kasi minsan pag bigla ko inapakan yung gas you cant go wrong with a CAI, ingat na lang pag binaha

brooom, dapat nasa 3k to 4k lang yan sa mga shops for both na... at least di lalagpas ng 5k

[Bry028]

Badtrip, Had the parts kung saan may wing dati painted sa casa... di maganda gawa, nagkagasgas pa rear windshield...

Saan kaya maganda magpagawa?

Badtrip talaga yan boss. Kahit ako nadali din. Ang dumi nunv interior namin puro natuyong pintura at rubbing compound tapos dami gasgas sa paint at over spray. Makukuha daw sa wax. /pif Siguro if me paint job man in the future di na ako sa CASA papagawa. Ayaw ko ng mag back job, hassle sa oras at araw na wala ang auto mo sa iyo.

isang shop na maayos gumawa is Hotwheels, sa may E. Rodriguez lang to... my tito worked also with the distributor ng DuPont dati and meron silang shop na pwede gumawa ng ganyan pero sa Pasig naman... yun lang, tiga Batangas ka ta diba? di ko lang alam if meron mga shops na kilala diyan sa south boss

[Bry028]

Hahayaan ko nalang muna, maybe in the next 2 years papahilamusan nalang para pati lahat ng tama maayos na. Akala ko pa naman ok tumira ng pintura ang casa Ang masaklap talaga ay yung sa rear windshield,ang lalim ng swirl marks, siguro yung paint work under lang 3K pinakamababa na yung 1K,kano kaya aabutin para dun? :ouch:
