Are '06 model year Jazzes (?) lower quality than '04 model year?

[guest1227]

Hi All

I own 2 Honda Jazzes (

I have owned a '04 CVT for about 5 years now (my wife drives this) and it has be super reliable since I bought it used,only needing a new battery + annual service,it had the CVT stuttering thing last year and the Honda garage replaced the valve f.o.c.

The above car is grate and very good to drive,very happy with it.

I bought a '06 sport last May'11, this car has also been very reliable so far (apart from needing a new battery last month) but this car just does not seem as quiet and well built as the '04,the CVT feels a bit "rougher" for want of a better word. Maybe because it is a sport version with Brigestone tyres? My wife's car has Barum.

Am I being fussy? Do I need to get the garage to change the CVT oil.

Please let me know.
thanks

What size wheels and tyres are on each? The earlier car probably has smaller dia. wheels, which means deeper tyre sidewall to get the same rolling dia.

This will give the earlier car a better ride.

If the wheels are different sizes try temporarily swapping the older car's wheels tyres onto the newer car and v.v.
