Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Comparing car you owned before Jazz
« Last post by Sean Regan on Today at 06:22:22 PM »That's the problem with Honda dealerships.
There was one in Altrincham and another on the A56 near Stretford, both are gone, the nearest for me is in Stockport, a good half an hour away.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Comparing car you owned before Jazz
« Last post by Jazzik on Today at 06:04:06 PM »Our Jazz's predecessor was this model (and color): the 2017 Toyota Yaris Hybrid.
It drove us everywhere we wanted to go for over four years without any problems. It covered a total of 21,600 miles with an average fuel consumption of 57.9 mpg over the entire distance.
When we planned to replace it, the first candidate was the new Yaris 4, but out of sheer curiosity, we also looked at the Jazz and test-drove both cars. The decision was clear: the Jazz! More space, smoother, and much more practical.
It has now served us almost 22,000 miles in (also) just over four years without a single problem.
Only now we HAVE a serious problem: We're thinking of replacing the Jazz with a new hybrid next year. But our Honda dealership here in town has disappeared, as has another dealership less than 25 miles away. The nearest dealership is now about 90 miles away (one way).
So I think we'll go check out the Toyota dealer next year. Or the Renault Clio Hybrid, the MG3 Hybrid... Or maybe we'll wait for the Dacia Sandero Stepway Hybrid...

« Last post by Sean Regan on Today at 05:22:42 PM »...Quote... the only issue is that by owning one you are immediately labelled to be the the "elder" age group.In my case it is even true
(and it doesn't bother me)
Nor should it bother you.
I'm in that age group, but I'm driving a car that will do 108 mph and has an audio system with eight speakers for a reason, best known to Honda.
I should add I always observe speed limits, the only time I've exceeded 100mph, was once in the eighties, in the 2lt Alfa-Romeo I had at the time.

« Last post by tfw7 on Today at 03:25:04 PM »I had a Hyundai i20 for 11 years prior to my current 72 SR Jazz. Prior to that was a succession of Clios, 3 I think.
When I needed to change from my i20 in 2022, I realised I needed an automatic for health reasons (mainly arthritis in left thumb). Didn't feel I could go fully electric as there are not many public charging points around, and full electrics were a bit too pricey anyway. And the Honda E was weird!!
I researched a bit and discovered non plug in battery hybrids, and narrowed my online search to the Clio, the Mazda 2, and the Jazz. Never actually got around to test-driving the others, as my brother-in-law strongly recommended the Jazz over the Clio/Mazda.
Having never driven an auto before, let alone a hybrid, I was a bit anxious...........but an instant convert! I hadn't appreciated the cognitive benefit of an auto...way less thinking to do. And the mpg of the hybrid is amazing (the i20 was decent at pushing 50mpg).
3 years on and still loving the Jazz. 90% of the time it is just me and not much cargo, but it's nice knowing there is lots of room should I need it. And after 3 years, I have just discovered the boot sill is precisely the right height for me to sit on to put my walking boots on!

« Last post by Tombola on Today at 03:12:42 PM »Before the Jazz I had a VW T Cross 1.0ltr DSG, great car to drive, roomy, well equipped solid build quality but I had an itch that needed scratching, I had test driven a Crosstar a few months before getting the T Cross and loved the smooth transmission of the hybrid so decided to get one, loved how it drove and the fuel economy, lack of passenger seat height adjustment and carrying a full size spare wheel around in the boot became a sticking point so I got a Seat Arona 1.0Ltr DSG FR Black Edition which made it easier for my wife to get in and out of the (height adjustable) passenger seat, another bonus, my insurance premium reduced by 25%, my Arona is really good to drive and like the T Cross well equipped and solid build quality but I will miss the smooth drive and fuel economy of the Jazz

« Last post by UKjim on Today at 02:38:50 PM »The TPMS system is often a problem on the GK and for no apparent reason, when I had my GK it was fine for months on end then would suddenly start giving problems almost every trip. Lots of tips online about things to try, most successful for me was resetting it 3 times one after the other.
As far as the other problems, mysterious gremlins are often the sign of a weak battery, when was it last changed or is it the original?

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Tyre deflation warning constantly coming on.
« Last post by Sarah on Today at 02:26:09 PM »The tyre deflation warning light has recently started coming on every couple of days on my 2018 Jazz. The tyre pressures are correct; I've checked them with more than one gauge, in case the gauge was faulty. It's a nuisance having to initialise the warning system every two or three days. I understand it's not a system which can be disabled. Has anyone found the answer to this problem?
Incidentally, there are several other little quirks about this car which are quite annoying and I wonder if they're all linked? I mentioned them to a garage and they didn't seem to have any idea of the cause. The parking sensor turns itself off on a fairly regular basis so I have to check that the light is on each time before reversing. Sometimes I have to restart the engine to be able to switch the sensor back on. Cruise control, which I've only tried using a couple of times, cuts out as I'm driving along, although I'm not pressing the pedals to override it. The automatic light function occasionally turns itself off so I have to take over manually until I can restart the car, when the automatic lights work again. Also the windscreen wipers seem to have a mind of their own, turning on double speed or any other speed they fancy when set to intermittent.
