After 10 years and ownership of 3 almost identical Jazzes (expect in colour) it was time to move on.
1st Jazz 02 Light silver CVT SE 45k miles
2nd Jazz 05 Dark silver CVT SE 25k miles
3rd Jazz 07 Black CVT SE 65k miles
All were new. Never had a break down. The thing(s) just worked and worked. Had a EGR valve replacement under warranty in Jazz #2. And window greased in Jazz #3. Was getting 44-45mpg average before I let go of Jazz #3, it was the best mpg acheived over the 5 years so the engine was loosened up just right.
Just traded in Jazz #3 in for a 10 month old Auris hybrid. Why. For two years Honda UK and the local dealer refused to fix the water leak in the boot or even recognise the fault. So, in the end enough was enough and it was time to move on.
The Auris Hybrid is certainly a class above the Jazz in every respect, and for a 10 month old car it cost £1500 less than a new Honda Jazz CVT, and I am getting 60 mpg too, so with the milage I do I will be up £600-700 a year in petrol savings and no road tax.
Anyway, loved the Jazzes, but it's finally good bye.
