Dealers don't want you to change cars just provide another finance package to get them through this month's target.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Farewell to the Jazz, hello to the HR-V
« Last post by John Ratsey on Today at 03:50:16 PM »
I've had my HR-V for almost 18 months. It's definitely a nicer vehicle to drive and more comfortable to ride in than the Crosstar it replaced with less intrusive safety aids. On paper the HR-V boot is no larger than the Crosstar's but it looks and feels much bigger (one reason it was bought). At the moment my HR-V has averaged 13% worse mpg than the Crosstar with the same usage pattern but this includes two winters and only one summer.

I agree that the HR-V would benefit from being slightly narrower. I would like the Mk 3's drivetrain in the Mk 2 HR-V's bodyshell! However, I think most vehicles are becoming more obese in order to get good scores in the safety tests but road widths and parking spaces haven't changed. I wonder if Honda's design team focus too much on prioritising the north American market rather than Asia and Europe.

I get offers from my dealer (currently discounts on pre-reg vehicles) which never include the Jazz. I wonder why? Is it the only Honda that sells itself?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / USB data input
« Last post by Theophilus on Today at 02:16:23 PM »
I understand that only one of the USB ports permits data input – it seems that I can either input Android Auto for Waze / Google Maps on my phone or alternatively play music files from a USB MP3 player – is there any way I can have both running simultaneously?

Bluetooth?

The only thing that also holds me back, apart from the fact it is my wife’s car, is the size. The Jazz is perfect for zipping around town etc., whilst also being so unbelievably versatile. I a sure the HRV is as good as described by those who have bought one, but it is horses for courses really.

Honda HR-V 2021- / Jazz to HR-V - 1st 5ish Months
« Last post by shufty on Today at 01:29:25 PM »
...I changed from a MY22 '71 plate Jazz EX (Premium Sunlight white) to a MY23 '73 plate HR-V Advance Style (Sand Khaki Pearl / Black Roof) beginning of Nov last year  ;D

So far I have noticed that it is a much better car in almost every way.

PROs (for me)
Brake hold, on by default - Can't believe how much of a difference this makes not having to switch it on every journey.
Ride comfort - greatly improved. Smoother over bumps, more refined all around.
Acceleration - seems much quicker although its hard to judge without the Jazz side by side. Easy to spin the front wheels if you're too keen!
The sport mode does seem eager to get on with it. On the modes I wish the normal mode was maybe blue instead of green as an indicator.
Boot shape - Same size as the Jazz I think but the overall shape seems more accommodating. Load cover a flimsy one that works much better than the hard ones.
Powered tailgate - more convenient.
Auto dimming rearview mirror and auto dipping nearside wing mirror.
Feels more grown up than the Jazz, more of a complete car.
Doors cover the sills so they and your trousers/legs stay cleaner.
The safety systems seem less prominent, can still go off at odd times but less frequent.
Have had the Lane Keep Assist, on occasion, last for 50 seconds as opposed to the normal 10 or so. Doesn't happen often though.
Android Auto connects wirelessly every time!
Dual zone climate
Centre arm rest, if you use one.
Rear courtesy lights for passengers are both on a soft touch on/off.
Fuel release on a pull flap from inside the car. One to remember at the petrol station.


CONs
Fuel economy - Worse than the Jazz. Will have to wait until the weather is warmer and the miles increase to see how far apart they really are.
Turning circle, not as tight.
Costs of tyres etc probably higher
Not a full digital dash unfortunately. Right hand side not much use as look at digital speedo rather than analogue so that side is mostly wasted.


No privacy glass as an option. Undecided whether that is a con or a pro.
Can't seem to work out the battery charge, at all. Couldn't tell you how much battery is left at any time as it never seems to drop?
Looking at one of the other displays you can see the the battery level as such when it is being depleted or refilled but not on the battery charge screen.

Overall I'm glad I changed. Seems to be a much better all rounder than the Jazz although if you must have a higher MPG then the HR-V may not be the car for you!

I have recently being offered a great deal on the HR-V if I traded the Jazz in (which I paid cash for). I have owned the Jazz for only 1.5 years, and 18000 miles, so still have 3.5 years warranty/4 services left too. The cash plus the Jazz offer was ridiculously cheap and I can see why people do the swap.

Me... not for me. Having moved down to a Jazz because my previous Renault Capturs were too big (just one reason), the last thing I want is another SUV type sized vehicle.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Nicksey on Today at 12:48:05 PM »
I certainly would not buy a car with that fault. Period.
If the manufacturer does not resolve it free of charge, I will never buy another Honda.
And not having repair kits available for a common fault is disgusting.

UK consumer law is quite clear on this issue with cars..
Honda should be ashamed of their actions or lack of them.

Maybe its because the fault is only now appearing. It seems to be an age related, rather than mileage related issue. Cars reaching the 3.5 year old period, and by all accounts limited to a batch. I would hope that as I type, Honda are already in the throes of acquiring this part, and are waiting for dealers to start saying their customers are getting angry. I would then hope, that rather a damaging deluge of complaints about driving safety standards, that the matter will be dealt with quietly and calmly in the favour of the customer.
