VIDEO: 2014 Honda Jazz 1.5 V walk-around tour

Thanks to our comprehensive launch report, test drive report and old car versus new car gallery, the bases have all been pretty much covered with regards to the 2014 Honda Jazz. But since words and static pictures can only tell you so much, we don’t stop there.

The third-gen B-segment hatch may have just missed the train bound for Driven Web Series station this time, but not to be outdone, we capture it in another walk-around video.

Here, we dissect the range-topping Grade V, showing and demonstrating the stand-out features – including the Ultra Seats and MirrorLink HDMI – which make it a contender that’s hard to ignore. Is it truly “everybody’s kind of car”?

        ..bro..I’m sorry, can’t agree with your statement.
        All manufacturers provide their car specifications for you to choose. It’s your own decision to evaluate whether this is what you want.. there is no false advetisement saying that it comes with certain feature & when you bought the car, it was missing.. be wise & buy what you feel is value for your money..

    Dear Honda BS Malaysia,

    No matter what you do to your cars, people are starting to find out how BS the BQ and QC of your BS cars.

    You all are just lucky that the current competitors are not providing the proper specs for their car but don’t worry, since you all have started this trend, eventually all car makers will do the same too.

    Till then just enjoy ur short term success as cheating us customer with BS BQ and QC cars will only have bad karma.

    Lastly, I would like to thank Honda BS Malaysia for assisting me in making my decision for my next car as I have had enough of Honda BS Malaysia car.

    Another thing, not only your cars have BS BQ And QC. Ur after sales service are also full of BS and are total useless. Most of the problems can’t be solved by ur BS SC but can be solved by us customers. My car has only 10k km mileage but have sent back 5 times and problem can’t be solve and the best thing is that ur BS SC blame everyone in the world except their own uselessness and also ur BS BQ and QC cars. I would like to specific this SC is Sri Peringgit Old Klang Road total BS SC.

    In short, Freak Off Honda BS Malaysia and enjoy ur short term CHEAT success.

    Sincerely,
    Genuine Honda City 2014 Users

    (don’t come BS say i m not a genuine owner. come ask me anything about the City and i will even tell u guys things that u guys won’t know about the City)

    anyhow, thanks for making my decision easier for my next car. not only mine, but everyone close to me and also close to the person that is close to me and so on.

    Freak Off Honda BS Malaysia and all companies related to u.

        Hi Monsieur,

        Problems from day 1:

        1. Front Bonnet Paint Problem
        2. Gaps Problem (join Honda City group and u will know) (not solved but gave up as it doesnt produce rattling sound)
        3. Door trim, front panel, window rattling (not solved)
        4. viper problem (not solved)

        and many many more..

        If u are not rushing, pls wait for a better car.

        In terms of specs yes Honda City wins thats the reason why i got it but its BQ and QC sucks till non explainable.

        Hope the Vios or Almera comes out a facelift version with improved specs and do get them.

        Best Regards,

        • Drove my new City for past 5 months and around 7k mileage. Overall i love the car and its been fantastic driving it with low FC.

          Only problem i faced is the rattling on dashboard when going over rough surfaces which happens on and off. On a good day there won’t be any noise.
          Another would be the driver side door trim has a metallic sound coming from it. It only happens if i push the door panel along the fabric area or going over a harsh bump.

          It is irritating at the beginning but i got used to it. Small problems in an otherwise good and safe car. Sometimes we should try looking at the good points of the car instead of worrying about some small issues and the City has a lot of good points in it. This car ticks all the specs that i need in a car which are Safety, Practicality and low FC.

          Vios, Almera, Polo and other CKD B segment will face some sort of same issue one way or another. Check the forums and user reviews from websites and you will know. Most CKD car have the same type of issues, trust me and just close one eye, you get to enjoy the car for the next 3-7 years instead of regretting it and fuming all the time.

          Shall plan to get the new Jazz as second family car.

          Cheers

            Yea, if the SC is good and kind and honest enough then i would have live with it.

            But after 5 times going back without solving the problem and blaming the whole world, final straw.

            At least u got a defect less car.

            U happy doesnt mean others happy.

            Maybe u got too much money so all these doesnt matter to u.

            Well Mr Snack Bar/haha. You have been complaining over and over on the same topic for quite some time in past Honda posts until now. Get over it will you.

            Like you said you went to service center 5 times and still can’t solve. So just follow Alan/Zack advice and close one eye on those minor problems. If you really can’t stand it then sell the car already and get Vios or Almera or Iriz and you would probably face the same problem now. Honestly if you want save money just get the Iriz for your next car. Saves you the money and just as safe. Even if there are defects at least you won’t complain so much.

            If the problems are the engine, suspension or other key components of the car i would understand your gripe but these small problems with fit and finish is present in any car. Look at BMW forums and see what issues they face. Its THE SAME shit when it comes to CKD units.

            No car is defect free no matter the marque. It’s just either minor like yours or major where parts breakdown.

            I just wonder, since you harp about other brands and stuff, what would you do when you change this City to another brand and face the same problems will you stay quiet and eat your words or start harping about the other brand.

          • You are one sour grape aren’t you.

            Taking your words from you, just because you are not happy with your car, doesn’t mean MANY other people share the same feelings like you.

            Not satisfied with your current service center then change to another and try.

            How much money i have is not the issue as i have more important things to deal with than small defects of the car.

  • If you notice the rubber when opened the door, you will find that it is separate(half covered the door, half at the car).

    1.Why don’t Honda make it one go to prevent tears and wear occur easily?

    Well because if one go, it’s more reliable. If we separate, it would be easily tear. So more services to expect huh?

    2.Specs are wise and best of the segment. But the seat, for me personally when first view the car, so cheap.

    The good side of the car,

    1. If you are single or space is not a problem, is the best choice compared to vios; and if city looks ugly to you( yes, city is really ugly for me). Well City and Jazz are almost the same machine.

    Well that is what I found from viewing the car at Honda.

    Sorry for the rant. I was correct only with the BS BQ and QC of Honda Malaysia but at least their after sales service is good.

    However, I would like to single out this branch – Peringgit Auto @ Old Klang Road, the so called best performing branch in Malaysia.

    Their service quality really pulls down Honda Malaysia face. Just found out from a few other SC that this BS SC spoil my door and did not even inform me on that.

    Bloody BS Freak Peringgit Auto @ Old Klang Road.
