Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Considering Buying a Honda Jazz with a petrol engine and a manual geabox
« Last post by Andrewmvp on April 12, 2024, 01:35:27 PM »Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well.
I've decided to buy a Honda Jazz with either a 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engine, but I'm not sure which one would be better, paired with a manual gearbox, and I'm looking to spend a maximum of £4000.
I have a couple of questions:
I'm unsure if the catalytic converter is located near the engine in an easily accessible place for thieves to cut it easily. Perhaps someone here knows exactly where the CAT is located.
How is the clutch? And for those who have had to change it, at approximately how many miles did you need to do so?
Are the engines reliable? I've heard that Toyota Yaris petrol engines can suffer from the "soft piston rings syndrome," leading to frequent oil top-ups. I hope this isn't the case with Honda petrol engines.
The car will have a timing chain, and if I perform 8,000-mile oil changes and use good-quality oils, I expect the engine to last a long time.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Have a lovely day.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Ive not a lot of knowledge about the auto box, however, I have read that it does need frequent oil changes to ensure it works properly. That might be the easiest place to start to see if it helps if it has not had a change recently.

Well Done Cobb2! Brilliant news. I also agree that Honda may now do the right thing by us all.
In the meantime let’s all follow by example and use this approach. Write, email, phone, whatever it takes.
As mentioned, I started at the top with the Managing Director Jean-Marc Streng, but I will make use of the other contact details provided by Cobb2 if I don’t hear back soon.
With regard to Tinny’s post - what shocking behaviour from a respectable business! If Honda HO don’t respond, do not give up. The rapidly growing numbers of Brake Simulator Failures is now an acknowledged fault by HO and your Dealership should be named and shamed. The fact that you had steering problems after the repair is a huge concern, especially for a car with less than 10,000 miles. In my email to M. Streng I mentioned my concern about knock on effects of the delay with repair and my car just sitting in the Dealership car park for at least one month, maybe more. Hopefully you will get refunded in the long run, but that doesn’t excuse such unprofessional behaviour from a representative of the whole Honda empire.
Good Luck everyone - get writing and phoning!

Just typing too fast!
