Honda Jazz my new ride

[parakitoJDM]

i know the car has been out for a long time, and might be replaced within a year. still don't care, its still very good as it is... so finally decided to buy one and enjoy life! its a 1.5vTECl 5speedMT. its got sun-roof and got the rear spoiler as option....so far satisfied.
Over-all impressions: hhhhm, much easier to drive than my ESi; got a solid body. Funky styling and very clever seat arrangement possibilities.

Congrats on your new ride

Interesting to see sunroof and turn-signal mirrors as standard on your ride (na wala sa Philippine-spec models).

Nifty.

Do give us some FC and suspension comments (if you do have the chance)
I also plan on buying this vehicle next year so I want to hear some feedback regarding the driving experience.

o nga.. may sunroof at foglamps ang 1.3 s nila!! or pinadagdag mo yun?

FC? sorry u have to educate me on this...
Suspension comments, well the car is pretty stable even during spirited driving, there's little body roll considering that its such a tall vehicle...ala MPV. though u may feel road bumps and other undulations.... i believe Honda struck a good balance between handling and suspension stiffness. Other driving experience.....i'm just amaze at just how much more flexibile this engine than my ESi (non vTEC). i can actually attest that the L15 is more torquey and i can just keep low REVS and still putter along pretty effortless. over-all its a much more relaxing experience than the EG Civic ESi.....

its a 1.5vTEC btw...... all those (sunroof, foglamps, side mirror integrated winker) are standard on the models here for the 1500cc. but they don't come with Side skirts, LED rear lamp, Rear disk brakes. so i guess product planners here have a different idea on things.... anyway since i already had the rear spoiler installed as additional accessory, i would like to add or actually modify rear brake to discs...... anybody know's some JPN surplus in Banawe or Evangelista? i'll go back Pinas within the month for a few days vacation. any link or reply would be appreciated.

Correct me if i am wrong FC = Fuel Consumption.

[alnoof77]

that's wicked man.. Rock on..enjoy your ride..

[brubeck]

rear disc breaks are great but that would surely void your warranty. am also itching to do this upgrade to my swift but warranty issues needs to be considered.

congratulations on your new ride sir!

[xaxxy]

oh. the antenna of the 1.5 here is placed at the rear of the vehicle anyway ... nice!

[parakitoJDM]

oic, accdg. to the trip computer. mine is just averaging 14l/100Km. (7.14km/li) so that's pretty horrible.... anyway because the car only has 88km. on the ODO and when i took it our of the dealer it was only 45Km. so can't really say that's accurate.... we'll report on that later.

like it better on the rear. but if i have it relocated most likely it will leave a gaping hole, so i have to 4get about this MOD...

Brubeck, thanks. btw, congrats din sa brand new swift mo. infact mga 2years ago i almost bought one. pero dto 1.3li 5MT lang, ala 1.5. pero i loved the handling and the looks of that car. dto nga lang, yung interior nya was really made cheap so that was the deal breaker for me.... whereas yung Fit/Jazz dto is same interior Quality as the PH-DM & JDM.... anyway Warranty expires two years and 60T Km. later.... don't know if i can wait that long.

[brubeck]

do wait and don't void your warranty. i also have a 2 year old innova and i'm just thankful it's still under warranty. they changed the rear hatch lifters twice, fixed an oil leak in the crankcase, numerous busted bulbs, malfunctioning speedometer and deffective front disc brake rotors. warranties honored without hassle but vehicle downtime was a bummer.

[parakitoJDM]

Correct me if i am wrong FC = Fuel Consumption.

Fuel Consumption, though i know i only have very low mileage (still tight engine) and mostly just drives in stop and go traffic. the Trip Computer is reporting somewhere around 6.9-8 li/100 km.

here are the Favourite Features of my Car.

well simply its the things that my old Civic ESi (EG Body) didn't have.
u can see in the Image below fm. the Instrument panel.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8084/img6332to9.jpg
-Light for the Engine Immobilizer (bottom Left like Key Sign).
-Power Steering Warning Light (EPS kasi 'to instead of Hydraulics).
-Fog Light ON Indicator (Front and Back).
-SeatBelt Warning Light Indicator if not Worn....(medyo annoying nga lang...)
-ABS Light (though haven't really reached that threshold..)
-AirBag Indicator lights (if deployed).... (though i wish i would never have to use it :D).
-saka Fuel Consumption Trip Computer.....now its showing 8.3li/100km (around 12Km/lit).
-vTEC engine is much more lively than the ESi's (hhhm baka kulang sa tune up?).

[Things i Don't Like]
- nawala temperature Gage, instead meron lang HOT (for Overheating) and COLD (so u don't over-rev while the oil hasn't warmed enough....)

PS: ba't nga pala di na maka show ng Image ngayon sa Tsikot?

Congratulations. The Jazz is a great ride, indeed!

Regarding the temperature gauge,- it's just a matter of getting used to it. Anyway, nowadays, if a car overheats, then typically, the temp just shoots up. So, the analog display is not really a big help.....

Wow, your Jazz certainly has a lot of features. Hhmmm... I'd like to have a "fuel consumption trip computer" for my Baby Jazzy....
