Paul,

Any info on the mechanicals? IF you look for Australian news, the SK2~ed Jazz is slightly more than just applying SK2. I think they have some changes to the CVT. Not very sure about on what has or have been changed but some OZ websites mention aluminium CVT housing or such.

The North American Fit that was launched recently uses 5AT instead of CVT. Is this the end of Honda’s CVT era or was the 5AT a marketing decision to not hurt Honda’s image? Afterall, the North American mafket is really cut-throat.

The North American Fit also uses drive-by-wire instead of throttle cable. What about the local Jazz?

The LED lamp is real sexy.

it’s not like i don’t want to support malaysian cars. But, ’somebody’ has made me not to support the cars. Their prices are absurds. Let’s take Jazz for example, put aside the taxes (as they are not considered as cost for making the car), you can ‘make’ a jazz for only 50k-60k. Come to think of it, in malaysia you can only make a proton WAJA? How lame… I dont care how much similarity between MyVi and Passo whatsoever. The quality is not at PAR at all. If somebody can convert me to support national cars, I’d be delighted..

drifting4eva: 3) some car tat would safe a lot of fuel cost for normal city driving.

My apologies, it was from a book called: “What not to drive”. To be fair, smaller cars tend to be cheaper for the budget conscious, but it’s still a crime for any self-respecting male to cough up 100K and above for a fluorescent pink beetle

post the link please. the only valid excuse for a guy owning a kancil/kelisa is 1) they are college students and their parents bought it for them or 2) they are trying to commit suicide in those milo tin death traps

there was a topgear poll on cars that guys should never be seen driving…. the list includes the Peugeot 206, Nissan Micra, VW Beetle, Daihatsu Copen (gasp!) .. basically anything small, rounded and trying very hard to be cute…. it’s just too gay.. Would the jazz make it to the list?

Paul: Ah, yes. I missed that bottom section, my apologies.

They gave out a press CD? They did give out a brochure booklet, right? I actually did try to ask for it but they refused to give it to me. Those A&P people from HMSB are quite stuck up laâ€¦ Thereâ€™s especially one fat b|tch that I would like to give 2 tight slaps to.

the press cd was very very disappointingly empty.

Paul, can you put in more details regarding the FL Jazz? Were you at the launch event at The Curve? I was there, and HMSB was giving out press materials, right? Can you share those stuffs with us here?

And you forgot to put in the new prices. Jazz VTEC is RM103,800, and Jazz i-DSI is RM94,800.

i feel porsche is a guys car. the minicooper is a girls car. the thing is so uncomfortable to sit in and drive even thoughhandling is superb. which leaves it cuteness factor (as well as heritage) to make the sale.

for me, all cars in the jazz category are by definition “chick cars”. the only smallish car a guy can get away driving is the mini cooper (borderline on that one) or a porsche. never saw a guy impress any females while driving a kelisa . . .

I agree with pirate … and why Honda does not locally assemble their Jazz?

Wonder how much is the ground clearance? If it is too low…then its a “town” car…

the jazz and the civic are chicks cars. somehow they just really like honda badge.

somehow the blue jazz looks better than the white jazz. and i do agree with someone, add 10k rm to get the civic is better.

Our proton is the same too. So whats your point?

haiya..another lame comments..dont really get you..what is the word same doing here? you have “same” and “proton” in posting for HONDA JAZZ. what is it?
can we discussing about other make without ever involving the “low clas”,”low quality”,”no respect”,”overpriced” blood sucking Proton.

Jazz is the car that started and defined the Mini MPV segment in Msia. I remember when it first launched, i feel in love with the looks of the car, but deemed it impractical, expensive and perhaps too small for me.

3-4 years later, u see these Mini MPV as the best selling and widely accepted segment of cars. (example perodua).

Now, there’s more than a dozen of choices for mini mpv, but Jazz is still at the top of the list in terms of residue value, desirability, technology (cvt and 7 speed shifters right?), ultra seats and all that features that aren’t available on many of the mini-mpv.

If only Honda produce CKD Jazz to bring the pricing down… But that’s another story…

honda should churn out jazz cars from their alor gajah manufacturing factory, just like what they are doing rite now with the city and civic models…this way we’ll get much cheaper jazz cars compared to what we’r gettin now…but of course, this aint gonna happen…
for ur info, in indonesia, a jazz only costs the indons around 120 juta rupiah, that’s around rm 49,000.00…geez, proton really does their part lah in ripping us off…

Rather typical of Japanese cars to change a bit of this and that externally every 2 years or so.
