I like the MK 3 Jazz because .....

[dzidrisiya]

The auto lights CAN be hacked at start of journey but resets to "normal" at journey end/ignition off

How? The only time "off" workd for me is when the car isn't moving.

Are your headlights triggered by rainfall?

Apologies...I was told by a Honda employee that you can hack...but I tried it and guess what ...it didn't work!!

You may change your view when it rains. There is a significant strip on the windscreen next to the pillar on the drivers side which isn't wiped and water collects because the pillar (now on the outside) blocks the water from being blown away.

Drive faster, that water blows over the roof!

If you fixate on the little annoying things they grow, so let them go and get back to enjoying your cars.🚗🚘🙌

Agreed, you can lose a lot of pleasure by complaining about trivia. Consider the bigger picture, it must be a good car or I would not have bought one! :-)

as I said in an earlier post on 'serial Complainers', if someone doesn't have a big thing to complain about they will look for something - There are only two types of people in this world,  Those who drive a Honda, and those who wish they did.

I'm the third type. Those who wish they DID NOT drive a Honda

To Edam

Having just ordered a new EX, I would be very interested to know, why you wish you didn't drive a Honda?

[edam]

I hope the problem I'm having is just with my present car as I have yet to find anything better than the Jazz.
I want to change back to a CVT Jazz but until my present car is repaired I cant.
My dealer wants the car in for 5 days next week to repair it and for personal reasons I don't want a loan car.
So I have the hump!!

[Skyrider]

What is actually wrong with your car? Five days is a long time for any repair except bodywork damage. Is the problem the Jazz or your personal situation?

I was driving in heavy rain today, the trim that directs the water from the wipers over the roof or to the bottom of the windscreen at low speed does an excellent job of keeping the side windows clear of water.

Hi Downsizer,
I'm of the same opinions as you my new EX CVT is such a massive improvement over comfort and space compared to my previous Si model. It cruises well enough for me and definitely not so bumpy although the Si did have a sports suspension so I suppose you'd expect that too be a harder ride.

To modify my previous post I did not wish to drive a manual Honda Jazz anymore which is why I have now bought a CVT one.

so not an issue with Honda, rather your choice of model/spec?

I have had Autos in the past, but the extra initial cost, complication and ongoing maintenance costs mean I would not have an auto again unless I spent most of my time in city traffic or needed auto for mobility reasons,  I love being able to swap cogs when I want to, not when the ECU thinks its a good idea - the most useful dial on the car for me is the rev counter (same on my motorbike).

I am interested to know how/whether the switch between Otto and Atkinson cycles is apparent with a manual gearbox?

Do you notice any transition?
