Mk4 issues

[Jazzik]

..... and if you see another Jazz who's pulled up about a car and a half length behind it could be me

Now I understand who causes those long traffic jams!

Time to draw this to an end?

Even put a brake on it?

Back to issues, 2nd service today (5 year paid for), just over 2000 miles,  told them the passenger door mirror had started graunching on closing the day before! Car came back no service issues, just then phone call - can you pop in for an hour next week when the mirror will be changed under warranty?  Can't complain about that.

I wonder if a brake simulator would be as easy? 

While waiting I must remember to ask the service people if they have had many brake simulator failures and done under warranty. Might not be willing to talk to customers about such a "delicate" question? I will mention it will put me off other Hondas in the future if not addressed by higher management.

You do mean 20,000 miles surely?

[Kremmen]

Not necessarily, my Sep 21 is just approaching 4k

As soon as my new to me house DIY is done I'm selling up. No point having it with my pathetic mileage

Spend more time CTEK 12v charging and going on monthly runs for the HV

I've got a load of shops within a 5 min walk and a regular bus into town, every 20 mins, a 3 min walk away

My local shops :

Does make you think when you do a very low mileage. I'm on 5700 with a car purchased in October 2021. At present I do need the car as my wife is in a care home that's not that easy to get to on the bus. That apart I can do most things by bus and train or, in extremis, a taxi. I've more or less decided this is my last car.

I bought my mk.3 at two years old with 1500mls on the clock, one little lady owner and always garaged, it looked like a new car inside and out, and under the bonnet too. She had traded it in for a new mk.4 !!!

Wow. I sometimes see these extremely low mileages, for what are very expensive cars! I wonder why you spend so much money on such a car, and not drive it.. when you could spend at least half the money on a Dacia or similar and never stress the engine or have reliability problems because you're doing such a paltry mileage.

In my case my Civic was almost 10 years old and at the time I needed a car to drive between London and Reading fortnightly

You can't take it with you so after a test drive I went for the Jazz

It's only now I'm living near Reading I'm not doing the mileage

[5thcivic]

I just like the Jazz to drive, don't think any other hybrid or auto of the same size would be as pleasureable. Only slight downside is the styling which is not as sleek as the best of the Civics were, but they are too big now.

Myabe we should just open a Subject - General ramblings good and bad.

Before you do.... I bought a Mk3 after owning a CRV convincing myself I could cope with a small car after loving my 1984 B reg Ford Fiesta and new 56 plate Swift. Unfortunately, mid life spread is making me feel feel like I should have bought a bigger car.
