Thus AMT is the way to go.. From a consumer point of view, we always want to wait n see. Let others be the guinea pig and not pay to learn about the problems that may occur with AMT.. Savvy has AMT but the sceptism is on the Euro engine with high spare parts cost Cheers Honda good on you to put AMT in Jazz..

Or, rather, it is there for a reason that is better than the one before. So, whether it is i-DSI, CVT, VTEC, or whatever, the new systems employed to replace these, eventhough they take on different acronyms, are designed and engineered to improve on these old systems. Do not be preoccupied and obsessed with names. Understand first what they are about and why they are there, or aren't there, in the first place. I'm quite certain that the reason i-DSI is nixed is because the 1.2-litre engine is far better in fuel economy and perhaps performance. In any case, the new Jazz is a better, fresher looker than the old one eh? I think we should remind ourselves that technology isn’t for technology’s sake, it is there for a good reason.

The City's CVT is one of the reasons City sales aren't closer to Vios (fitted with an old tech auto) numbers. Savvy has AMT but the local market still prefers ‘trad’ slushbox.

Of course, the AP holders might do so if the $$ is right...
