Saw my first other mk3 Jazz on Saturday, it was a Sunset Orange one going into Coventry, so that's at least 2 in my area.

Including my trips around various parts of the country I'm yet to see a new Jazz on the road. A point noticed by other Jazz owning friends.

Me neither, apart from an orange car parked in someone's drive which was obviously a demo vehicle with stickers all over the side.
Dozens a day of older Jazzes though.

I saw a Mk3 Alabaster Silver Metallic Jazz in Romsey (near Southampton) the Sunday before last.  That is the only Mk3 Jazz that I have seen besides the two demonstrators at my local Honda dealership.

None in NWest, they seem to be pre reg and sitting on the dealership forcourt .
PS this month November is the right time to negotiate your best deal at any garage, traditionaly its a low point of sales so play the game and extract a good buy new or used, they get more desparate as the monthly target closes 23rd month.
Happy bargaining....

I have seen another silver one, this time without tinted windows and RV65 K** registration, which isn't far behind my RV65 J** so probably September. The groove along the side is probably the easiest way of identifying the new Jazz.

I haven't seen one in West London yet, but I spend approx. every other 5 weeks living in the centre of Mallorca and I just saw a red one in the local car park. Which was a bit of a surprise as the Jazz isn't very common here, there being only one agent now. I describe here as very much 'Berlingo' land, of either Citroen, Renault, Peugeot or Fiat build. Although the Dacia is making strong headway with it's low price. I did try and buy a Jazz here two years ago, but the agent didn't try to bite my hand off and I couldn't find a second hand one so I ended up with a Citroen Picasso C3, a slightly more comfortable 'Berlingo'. But I do come home to England to my Jazz Mk3.

I saw my first white one today followed a few hours later by another white one (different registration). Both looked very new and shiny so they are either very new or have doting owners. Then there was a silver one, which might be the same one as I have seen a few times, and a blue one.

The big groove along each side is the most obvious distinctive feature. Perhaps that's why Honda put it there. If you see a Honda badge on front or back and a groove along the side then it must be a Mk 3 Jazz.

As another Swindonian, I would comment that the Mk 3 is still a rarity compared to the Mk I (probably the most numerous) and the Mk 2. However, I did see a blue one yesterday and a silver one (twice but it might have been the same one). I've yet to see a yellow Mk 3.

Having filled in a questioner for Honda U K last week and telling them to open up a Liverpool dealership as I have not seen any I see three in a week!. One is local and orange, the second was white (and I agree about the rear lights) and in New Brighton, while the third was a bright yellow one on the main road.

Orange one today with 15 plate so it must be ex-demonstrator.  Also one in Milano red, so I think I've seen all the colour options.

However, I don't think I've yet seen an HR-V in the wild yet but perhaps I've yet to figure out the key distinguishing features that help quick recognition from a distance (something like the groove along the side of the Jazz).

I cleaned my Jazz today for the first time this year and only then appreciated how dirty it was. Orange is, as I had expected, an excellent colour for concealing the dirt. On the next nice day I'll be treating it to some good polish.

And it appears that the brighter colours are becoming more fashionable. To quote from the SMMT's March 16 bulletin:

Quote
5.   Not all Britons are quite so keen to follow the trend, with some 3,300 new cars specified in orange, 2,000 in yellow and more than 1,000 buyers choosing pink.

So maybe soon I'll have difficulty finding my orange car in a car park because of all the other orange ones. :o

This is all a bit strange after six months. The local dealer was saying they only really sell Jazz and CRV.

The general population of Jazz models of all vintages around here in Buckinghamshire is very high - but not the Mk3.

Although new car registrations are rising year on year,  the average mileage a car covers per year has halved from 10K to 5K in last 5 years,  and the average car spends only 4% of its life actually moving.  So it looks like people are spending their money on new cars just to decorate their driveway LOL

I was down there last week adding to the numbers, but I did see several other Mk 3s including 2 or 3 orange and one yellow one.

Numbers appear to be increasing and the challenge is to learn the key recognition features which include: (i) the vertical low level DRLs on the front; (ii) the grooves along the side (but not to be confused with some Fords); and (iii) the high level reflectors on the back each side of the hatch. However, I find the black Mk 3 looks very strange, perhaps because the black plastic on the nose no longer contrasts with the rest of the body.

My wife tells me that the most recognisable attribute of the Mk 3 is the "fin" aerial on the roof, which seems fairly unique for a small hatchback.

I'm currently  in Colombo (Sri Lanka) where I have seen more Mk 3s in a day than I have seen in UK in 6 months. Except that the ones here have "Fit" on the back.

Also loads of the Vetzel (aka HRV) so I have a much better idea of what they look like. Overall Honda seems to have a significant part of the market and quite a few have a Hybrid label on the back.

Also loads of the Vetzel (aka HRV) so I have a much better idea of what they look like. Overall Honda seems to have a significant part of the market and quite a few have a Hybrid label on the back.

I have said many times you can't judge Honda success on their European sales,  they do much better in many parts of the world (notably Asia and USA).  And with dirty Diesels now falling out of favour will probably do even better with their fine petrol engines.

Any spare wheel / boot floor support trays?
The available product range is at http://www.honda.lk/cars.php (http://www.honda.lk/cars.php). Anyway. Interesting point about trying to get the lump of plastic suitable for a full-sized spare. I'm only here for a few more days but expect to be back in a few months time so perhaps I'll contact them before i next come. Weight-wise the filler wouldn't make much baggage but it would be bulking to carry several to UK.

While waiting at our local Honda dealer while the Jazz was being given it's free service, there in the showroom was a black HRV. I thought the HRV  was based on a Jazz floor pan but it did seem considerably larger. The model on show was a 1.6 diesel. It did look quite smart but my opinion was that it was a lot of metal wrapped around a Jazz interior. Also a fair hike in price. To be honest it did not appear much smaller than the CRV alongside it. Yes it is different but quite honestly I cannot see what is the point. There was also a Civic Type R, in white with black upholstery BUT the driver and passenger seat were black with orange? trimming at £32,000 I would have expected Honda to at least make all the upholstery matching. It did look odd BUT as my Wife says I am a right old grumble guts.

Yes, obviously in Italy Fiat is  the best player.. Italians still feel it as a good brand and some models (500, Panda) are good cars. But crossing Alps, market and numbers become very different.
Anyway I remember that in UK Nissan, Toyotas and Hondas are very common, maybe because Sunderland, Burnaston and Swindon transplants  are considered home brands... If you see car statistics, one european Honda is sold in UK and two in the other whole europe.
In Italy I see many CRVs, some Civics, some mk1 and mk2 Jazz but only few new HRV and Mk3 Jazz. If you ask me some numbers, I have seen 3 new HRVs and less than 10 Jazz... and I live in a big city, not in the country.
Soon I will order a Jazz, and low honda's sales are good for me; they mean lower prices and less possibilities of being stolen.

Fiat really only make one car these days,  the 500 and variants of 500,  a lot made in Poland. 

Providing they fit their needs people should buy cars that are made in their country,  even by a foreign manufacturer because they give jobs to help the skill base and economy.  We in the UK are very promiscuous with our car buying and happily buy imports (how much of it is badge snobbery ?),  whereas French, German, and Italian are more parochial and you could say patriotic when buying cars.

500 is made in Poland as its variant Lancia Y (I think it's not imported in UK), the other 500's variant Panda come from Pomigliano, the old Alfa 147 and 156 plant. 500L come from Serbia, Punto and 500X from Melfi plant (Italy) but  they are not 500's variants, they only recall it for styling.  Giulietta and new Giulia come from Cassino, the new Tipo and Doblò come from Turkey.

I don't care about brands and countries, I give my money to the best manufacturer considering only my technical  needs and my budget. Ten years ago the Clio was my best buy, now I will change it for a Jazz.
I know that many people take care of the country, some italians prefer italian cars, some french prefer french cars. Maybe the country is one of their needs..  ;)

De Tomaso is a dead brand, they declared banktrupt some years ago.
Ferrari has a very particular production and they keep it strictly separated from all other brands, both technically and economically.
Maserati is very small brand, it should fight against Porsche but numbers are very low.
124 is a Mazda Miata, built in Hiroshima with italian engines and tuning. And I prefer the original one...

Although this Honda press release seems overly impressed with current Italian sales volumes.

Honda sets the pace across Europe (18 April 2016) (http://hondanews.eu/gb/en/corporate/media/pressreleases/72972/honda-sets-the-pace-across-europe)

Following a full refresh of its car range Honda has sprinted out of the blocks in early 2016, making it one of the fastest growing mainstream car brands in Europe.  All five of the main car markets in Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain) saw sales increase for the Honda brand.  Italy was a particular highlight with an astonishing 108 per cent increase**, driven by demand across the whole Honda car range.

Honda recorded total sales in EU and EFTA countries of 49,836 units*, an increase of 28.1 per cent compared to 2015


The figures outside of UK are not great.

*Official sales figures, March YTD (provided by ACEA)

Honda Europe (excl. Russia, Turkey and Ukraine)
49,836  +28.1%

**Honda sales by major European market March YTD (Internal Honda registration data)
UK       19,742  +14.7%
Germany   8,582  +41.2%
France    2,158  +24.7%
Italy     2,447 +108.8%  (So that must have been 1172 in the same period last year)
Spain     2,515  +34.5%

Many people who work for a living may not see new Jazzes as they are mostly purchased by retired people who drive at different times to working people LOL - go to National Trust carparks and you will see them by the dozen.
Yup....i must remember to remove my straw hat, walking stick and Zimmer frame from the back of the car on my way to work

That post was very 'tongue in cheek'

But sometimes generalisations can be truer than you think - and a generalisation will just cover majority of cases, not outlying ones - like a 17 year old who bought it new as their first car etc (or more likely their parents bought it for them).  It is an undeniable fact that in UK (not Asia and some other places) the Jazz is normally bought new by people over 50, whether younger people will buy that same car second hand at a lower price is neither here nor there, because we were talking about a newly introduced model.

Apparently 64% of Honda Fit drivers in USA are college graduates and median age of buyers is 48,  so mere babes in arms compared to UK Jazz buyers.

There are now plenty in the Swindon area since Honda added the Mk 3 to the list of vehicles which could be leased by employees. They probably outnumber those purchased privately (Honda vehicles are registered in Oxford (O) while the local dealer uses Reading (R).

The HRV, however, is still a rare sighting as it's not on the list of Honda employee vehicles.

If the vehicles were going in opposite directions then it's possible that the light sensor on the blue one was seeing a brighter part of the sky. This effect is likely to be most evident during the winter months when the sun is low in the sky. I've been caught out by the auto lights once or twice in the winter months when I have expected the lights to be on but they weren't. The DRLs help at the front but those tail lights help to reduce the risk of getting shunted.
