Thanx guys  Grin.

Went to pay the rest of the deposit today and decided to pay a bit more so that my monthly payments would be lower.

Sat inside one again and realised I'd made the right choice imo - nice cabin  Smiley.

The front spots have added 4 days to the arrival time as they'll fit them in the dealership, but I think I'm off work that day so it might end up working out OK  Cool.

I'm off to ebay now to look for a spare tyre.

Unfortunately they wouldn't do any deals on accessories  Undecided.
Their excuse was that a) everyone who would've gone to toyota are recently coming to them b) new number plate time is the busiest time of the year c) I'm already getting scrappage deal which they pay half for (govt the other half) and d) the 5yr service is unmatched currently.

I did manage to get them to chuck in the elegance floor mats (£70) for free though, so if I can get the tyre for <£40 I'm quids in  Grin.

I've heard of the dealers not throwing in the spare wheel into the deal and instead suggesting to increase the price of your p/x by £spare wheel price, which all points to the same thing really. This is what happened when I bought a Civic four years ago so technically I got the spacesaver thrown in although I still 'invoiced' for it.

Was interested in gaffers comments in his post about looking for a new car, after my really good experiences with previous Hondas I was also looking for a Civic when I sat in (and bought) a (GD) Jazz - wonder how many times that has happened at Honda dealers?

With regard to Gaffer's response from his dealer "c) I'm already getting scrappage deal which they pay half for (govt the other half)", I believe this is incorrect. From the information I was given from my dealer, the financial split is UK Govt. pay half, Dealer pays a quarter and Honda UK pays a quarter. Plus dealer gets the scrap value of the car being traded!

So that was a bit of a weak excuse.  Tongue

@culzean: I wouldn't be surprised. I also sat in the insight and that was even worse (no wonder they're changing it completely on the new civic and dropping the central bar altogether......they must've realised it was a poor move).

Anyway, I just went to collect it today.... love the "new car smell" and the "0000005" miles on the clock Cheesy:

Front spots/fogs were the optional extra. They installed it brilliantly too, changing the indicator stalk to new ones rather than giving me a separate switch for them somewhere.



I'm glad I went for Storm Grey as it looks nice on this imo



The ES spec has indicators on the wing mirrors



...and they fold when parking



I also like the clear rears. It's nice and roomy in the back too



Tail lights/brakes are LED ones which was a nice surprise Smiley



A few extra things as standard include VSA (stability control) and audio controls on the steering wheel. I also like the orange-red glow of the dash Cheesy



I don't think I'll change the HU as I like the standard fit look and sound. I also like the fact that we have recirc/fresh air change as a button rather than a slider (I hate sliders 'cos I always manage to break 'em Wink)



Overall I'm v happy and now just have to remember to drive extra carefully for the first 600-1000miles or so Smiley.

Ordered today...Jazz EX; Manual; Deep Sapphire Blue; Rear Parking Assist (Scrappage/0%) (Honda Happiness)

About to scrap...VW Golf GTi Mk III 1992; 148,000

Still have to transfer cherished plate at the DVLA before the order can go through...d'oh!

Any advice on GAP Insurance, Warranty Cover, Tyre Cover, Mishap Protection...oh, and key cover would be very gratefully received as this is my very first BRAND NEW car!

Hope this turns out to be one of my better decisions... Smiley

Hi! my name is Graeme and I live in Kildare in Ireland. I bought a sapphire blue ES i-shift Jazz in February and have 2500kms on it now. It returns 4.9l per 100kms (58 mpg) in general driving and over 60 mpg on a run. I am very happy with the i-shift and am now used to its foibles. Entering a roundabout when you have a small gap means pressing the throttle hard to prevent the car changing up immediately and losing power. I reckon that it needs a sport button that would prevent it changing up below maybe 3500rpm (possibly 4000rpm?). Otherwise I am very happy, golf clubs fit in the boot and you can get a 2.4m length of timber in with the seats down!! Only problem is that the wife likes it too!

Hi to the forum.
How much did you pay for fog lamps?
