Your choice when to change, years ago change before 50kto get a better pex but that no longer applies since chips were in short supply. Providing you change oil filter regularly I would keep until you test drive a better car. I now have to travel 40+ miles to try some new models.
We have been driving Jazz since they were introduced in UK.

as there is no real cars just hybrid or electric from now on there is no choice but to keep the car as long as possible and maintain it properly

 :) :) I thought real cars died when that new fangled synchromesh took all the fun out of driving!

I am looking forward to getting an all electric car, but don't feel the time is right, so behind my question is deciding whether to get an interim real car (or a hybrid).

After a lifetime of driving petrol cars the Jazz hybrid is a refreshing and welcome change.

Very smooth and certainly no slouch off the lights. It's also no slouch at any speed due to the electic drive with petrol assist when needed. Yes it's a small car but doesn't drive or feel like a small car.

I wouldn't go back to a torque converter auto now, I'm converted.
Let's be careful out there !

seeing as you cant buy real straight forward honda any more i will be keeping mine as long as possible until it looks like it is from mad max probably and this coming from someone who changed cars every 4 or 5 years

i only changed because the mk4 was coming out and i got lucky finding a pre reg with s trim and manual so hopefully im set for a decade or two as its just clicked over 22k miles

I’ve just bought 10yr old Jazz with 12k miles and seems full Honda Servicing - if it hasn’t reached 25k miles will Honda garage not have changed CVT oil?

Thanks

Honda's service checklist says change the CVT fluid every 25k miles or 2 years.

Thanks John

Thought that would have been the case - hadn’t seen it in the small print!

I recall driving a 1929 Riley 9 Monaco fabric bodied saloon as a student in the 1960s  (Yes I am very old)
No syncromesh.
Double declutching was an art : I learnt it but fast gear changes were impossible . I sold it with few regrets.

Wow! I had a 1933 half fabric Riley 9 Monaco  which I drove all over (including the Continent) as a student in the 1960s! Full crash gearbox.

I deeply regret selling mine!
