I hope they give me a CVT Jazz. May shift, or confirm, my suspicions about CVT gearboxes.

Jocko, what are your suspicions exactly?

Basically, that I wouldn't have one in a gift. I have never driven one or been in a car with one, but from what I have read and seen on the net, it is not something I'd like on a car. Fine for a milling machine.
For me a hydraulic automatic transmission with torque converter, Borg Warner style, is the way to go.

On another thread I mentioned a trip, as a passenger, I had taken in a CVT Jazz. In short they seem well suited to driving in an urban setting but I felt it struggled elsewhere and was a bit whiny. I am pretty sure I wouldn't have one although I guess you need to drive it rather than just being a passenger.

I notice Toyota are having a big advertising campaign for the latest Yaris Hybrid (also CVT) and it seems very heavily slanted towards urban driving.

More than ever, and I guess it's a good thing, we have cars aimed at specific situations and markets. The choice out there is better than ever.

As an update on this - I had both of my Jazz's airbag inflators replaced 12 months ago by Honda under the Takata recall.

Had another letter early last week for another airbag inflator recall for the passenger side air bags now on both Jazz's again.

Had work completed yesterday on both cars so both have had drivers and passenger airbag inflators replaced now.

I suspect there may be more recalls to come on this for the side air bag inflators... as it seems the works are somewhat phased e.g. phase 1 being drivers airbag, phase 2 passengers and maybe suspected phase 3 of sides...

Just thought I would share my 2 cents :)

Well my local dealer keeps sending out letters saying my Jazz is due airbag or airbag igniter replacements but they still don't have any!

How long am I supposed to wait when others on here seem to be getting theirs done?

I had been waiting for 3 months, and got them replaced at the end of April. I believe Honda UK has plentiful supply now.

This is what I got from BMW today as my car has an outstanding recall.

My Honda dealer gave me a brand new Jazz SE, with less than 200 miles on the clock, when my 2006 Jazz went in.

My local Honda dealer has ordered the relevant part ( passenger airbag recall ) stating that it will be 3 to 4 wks to obtain -  they will then contact me to arrange to fit. They said it shouldn't take more than an hour !

FINALLY ..... an appointment to correct the passenger airbag inflator.

Not even got there and not too impressed. I can leave the car all day, or wait while the work is done.

If all day a loan car 'could be made available' if I was to pay them for a day's insurance at £7.50, or added their car to my comprehensive insurance for the day. Is that the norm nowadays?

Asked about other airbag recalls - drivers and or side airbags - but they sidestepped that one.

Anyway, at last it's here. Anything I should be aware of as a result of the work - potential damage to trim, etc?

On both occasions I was given a car with nothing to pay. Think it depends on the dealer. Just check the trim is where it should be and everything electric still works, especially your infotainment system.

Thank you.

Having looked up recalls maybe the drivers airbag is a problem too?

Mine's a 2012 EX.

Has anyone actually had this replacement done yet, I'm a bit worried about them disturbing the dash and creating rattles and other problems..?
