Even Dacia are now doing it as well. Also on cars for existing owners. Even more incentive for me to look at the new Duster hybrid that’s coming out later this year that’s getting Excellent reviews.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Brake Pedal Extension.
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on April 30, 2024, 09:03:55 PM »Accelerator pedals are sometimes low set, or of the 'organ pedal ' type which allows you to steady your foot with the heel on the floor for more precise throttle control. But AFAIK brake pedals are always of the suspended type. Because by resting your heel on the floor you would only be pressing the brake pedal by flexing your ankle, which limits the range of movement and pressure you can exert. You should lift your foot from the floor and press down with the full movement of your leg. OK some people with extra large feet , high heel shoes etc might habitually heel and toe in this way,suffient for power brakes in normal circumstances. But maybe not an emergency stop. I would not recommend trying to replicate it.
The honda brake pedal is at a standard height that should suit all drivers. (except those who might need the car modified by a mobility specialist). The following site gives the specifications and how to adjust the pedal height slightly. I wouldnt recommend trying to change the pedal height in this way just to suit the driver. If you find your pedal height is considerably out of specification I would consult a mechanic, as there may be other reasons.

I mean no insult but I also suspect its driver technique. You should use the right foot for both, primarily resting your foot over the throttle , and when you need to brake, lift your leg and immediately move your foot onto the brake pedal. There should be no significant time with your foot hovering in mid air. Any length of time holding the car on the brakes the foot is supported by the brake pedal.
Again no offence but some drivers get into the bad habit of hovering too much around the brakes, and sometimes lightly applying them when its not really necessary. Advanced driving instructors call this 'reassurance braking'.I have tried google search on 'reassurance braking', but got no hits, but you may find a reference to it in some advanced driving tutorials. Its not always easy to know you are doing it and may need positive confidence to break the habit.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: What roads to drive on and gears to use for the best MPG/fuel saving?
« Last post by c.lday44 on April 30, 2024, 07:56:35 PM »Just drive the car. You won't notice much difference. I'd take the 40mph dual carriageway personally. Also MK1 Jazz doesn't have VTEC in Europe. The Fit in the states does but not here.

https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=8vzoH5r1tRANWNbfmAyxvA
I notice that since I started to worry about this back in January they seem to have added a new topic under 'Related' issues which says "What to do if Garmin Express is not Offering a Map Update for 2016-2017 Honda Vehicles"
Basically this just provides a link to contact Customer Support. I'm not hopeful -they have been thinking about this too long. I suspect it's been relegated to the 'too difficult/ expensive to do anything about' category, but it may be worth registering your interest.
