1.5 i-VTEC Sport Navi CVT.......
« on: February 14, 2018, 10:55:32 PM »
I made my mind up, yesterday.
 Soon. I would like a new 1.5 Navi Sport. In the only colour my Navigator will accept. Red.

I've not actually seen one. Don't even have a brochure, yet. But, I have made a couple of enquiries.

Our last two cars, were supplied by BUYACAR. But decided to try CarWow, this time.

Not been on sale, a month, as yet. Almost, £19,000. Can't hold out much hope, for a decent discount........  :(



The five offers, from CarWow. Gave discounts of £1,288 .... £1,468 .... £1,647 .... £1,827 .... £2,187.
 Which left me a little gobsmacked! :o

Then, I stumbled across, New-Car-Discount.Com. They got back to me almost immediately..... £3,559.20!! :o :o

An 18 plate. 1.5 Sport Navi CVT. Built to my spec. With free delivery. For £15,396!! Whatever is happening?  ???

Good deals , bear in mind the £15396 is for a used car ie pre reg.
I'd be driving something costing a year & half wages before opening your cheque book....

They have quoted a saving of £2231.

But... The price of £16,223 needs an extra payment of £500, as I'm paying cash. (Not using Honda's finance)....

Sorry.... I don't understand.  ???

Thank you for requesting a quotation from New-Car-Discount.Com for new 18 model / 18 plate HONDA JAZZ HATCHBACK 1.5 i-VTEC Sport 5dr Navi CVT.


As they have only been available for a few days. And, 18 reg, starts, in 13 days time.
 How used can it be. As it is being built for me?

I've heard the term, used very derogatorily, by my local dealer. About my car.
 My present Jazz, is a pre-reg.... Signed off, Jan 18th. Registered March 31. Bought by me May 28. With 41, delivery miles, on the clock.....

And, a lovely car, it is too! Despite my saving of £2,700........

Are you sure that £500 is not just the deposit?

Nothing wrong with pre-reg, better than ex-demo as the sales guy hasn't used it as his daily and nobody has given it a 'test' while a courtesy car. Resale value of pre-reg will be no different to 1 owner.

16k for a top spec Jazz sounds like a very good deal although I'm not convinced about that orange stitching.

For all practical purposes they are new but options might be limited.

No! Honda, "give", £750 towards the deposit,  for Honda finance. Obviously, clawing it back, through the interest charged.....

Disappointed Dayjo.......

Yet!  Give them a chance to shift a few sport models before the next round of updates.

Don't be too disappointed Dayjo, there are other options regarding reversing cameras. Although not quite as slick as the integrated unit of the EX, stand-alone systems with a monitor built into a replacement interior mirror are available. These appear to work well and look far better than an additional screen on the dash. Probably worth getting a specialist to supply and fit a quality system to avoid damage to your new car.

One disadvantage of the built-in system in the EX is the fish-eye lens which gives  a wide field of view but makes objects look much further away than they really are. Most after-market units have a lens which gives a truer perspective albeit with a narrower field of view.

I saw this red one at Listers this week, just off the transporter. Looks great and I think that you and your Navigator would be very happy. I think that by Monday afternoon my branch of Listers had sold three Sports since the launch on Saturday

The EX camera has three settings with the fish-eye being just one of them.  The other two are a normal view and a downward view.  I am very impressed with it.

If the EX doesn't get a 1.5 engine by next year, I will either be looking elsewhere or going with the more expensive HR-V

And it gets dirty in wet weather. I've had to wipe mine twice this week.

And yes, they need to make the 1.5l engine available on the higher spec models. I don't want a Navi model (overpriced for sat nav and I don't trust it to be kept up to date) but I do want all the other toys.
