Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Finally got rid of the Jazz
« Last post by John Ratsey on September 09, 2026, 08:53:13 PM »I looked at the Inster as I love the looks and the reviews are brilliant. But no go for me . No heated seats (bad bacK) nor steering wheel, no sun roof, range so-so 0-62 pathetic (after eNiro)My Inster has the heated seats, heated steering wheel and the sun roof, also a heat pump https://quotes.carwow.co.uk/deals/a8ee038883b8525e61881455f04dab07. The range with a full battery at the start is looking to be around 200 miles in fair weather and keeping off motorways (or going at lorry speed). I've found the acceleration to be plenty good enough and the 4th step on the deceleration is much the same as using B mode on the Jazz (I haven't yet tried the full one pedal option). And the interior probably meets the requirements discussed here https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=18591.0.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: What MPG are you getting from your Mk1 Honda Jazz ?
« Last post by FiJazz on September 09, 2026, 07:21:35 PM »67mpg after new exhaust fitted (turns out badly) up to Scottyland & back, on only half tank & 60-70mph. However down south on minor & A roads averages 54mpg. Took photo of the mpg / trip & petrol gauge when I realised the motorway mpg was excellent performance. By then (the photo shot) it had dropped to 66.5mpg

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Dash mat recommendations
« Last post by Synchrotron on September 09, 2026, 01:38:43 PM »Hi all,
I know there are several forum posts about this, but most are quite old, and the links no longer work.
Like many others, I am struggling with the reflections caused by the dashboard onto the windscreen when driving in sunny weather. It hasn't been as bad over the summer, when I could wear my polarised sunglasses, but now that the angle of the sun is getting lower, and I have to wear different glasses (prescription, they darken in response to sunlight, but they aren't polarised) the glare is getting very distracting. I have a very long commute that overlaps with sunrise and sunset through much of the autumn and spring, so lots of low-angle, uncomfortable sun glare.
I was wondering whether you might have any recent recommendations for a dash mat, ideally a non-adhesive one. Alternatively, whether you use a product to render the dash plastic matt, and whether this completely eliminates this issue (older posts seem to have mixed opinions on this approach).
Thanks in advance!

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on September 09, 2026, 09:12:41 AM »The car can detect the presence of the key even to the extent of knowing if the key is inside the car or just outside the car .If the keys are still inside it wont allow 'keyless' locking. If its outside it may object if you leave the ignition active.
As Marcus has alluded to it could be related to how you carry your keys. The key transmits proximity signals to the dashboard area. If these signals are obstructed they may be weakened enough the signal is unreliable . Especially if the key battery is no longer 100%. . This could happen if the keys are in a handbag, deep down in a pocket, or obstructed by an object such as a metal spectacle case .
For safety reasons I dont think a momentary loss of signal shuts the car down whilst you are driving along , but could cause the electrical gremlins you describe.
I must admit I once forgot to remove my key from its fadaday bag and wondered why the car wouldnt start.
This bag is only thin metallised cloth but blocks 100% of key transmissions.
When a mechanic tests the car its more likely they will have the key in their hand and place it in a good reception location and wouldnt therefore detect any problem.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Why are car interiors so drab?
« Last post by Nicksey on September 09, 2026, 06:51:40 AM »I saw that brown interior on NZ Jazz sites
I may have gone for that but I've had light colours before and go shabby quite quickly in my experience
The secret is Scotchguard,
I had a friend who worked at Hartford motors in the 80s. He told me that with all light interiors it is best to get a can of Scotchguard and give all the seats a liberal blast with it. He was right too. Every car that I have had with anything other than charcoal/black has had the treatment. My Jazz interior still looks as fresh as it did when I picked it up 4 years ago.
