The EX camera has three settings with the fish-eye being just one of them.  The other two are a normal view and a downward view.  I am very impressed with it.

Probably me being lazy then as I tend to use the default wide view or the downward view and have not really looked at the middle option

Don't be too disappointed Dayjo, there are other options regarding reversing cameras. Although not quite as slick as the integrated unit of the EX, stand-alone systems with a monitor built into a replacement interior mirror are available. These appear to work well and look far better than an additional screen on the dash. Probably worth getting a specialist to supply and fit a quality system to avoid damage to your new car.

One disadvantage of the built-in system in the EX is the fish-eye lens which gives  a wide field of view but makes objects look much further away than they really are. Most after-market units have a lens which gives a truer perspective albeit with a narrower field of view.

I saw this red one at Listers this week, just off the transporter. Looks great and I think that you and your Navigator would be very happy. I think that by Monday afternoon my branch of Listers had sold three Sports since the launch on Saturday

I would rather have the Honda version......

And, the paddles.......

That looks a good solution. Although the Honda version is to be preferred, given its non availability with the sport at present, would you do the same thing again?

Agree about the paddles - they do come in handy from time to time!

You guessed then! Yes I was the second of the three Sport sales I mentioned. The first was a pre-order and arrived on the Friday and went out to the customer on the Saturday. The third was a customer with a Nissan Note who went on a 30min test drive in a SE CVT. He liked the car but felt that something was not quite right but he could not put his finger on it. The salesperson, bearing in mind the feedback I gave from my test drive, suggested that this customer also drive the sport CVT. Less than  5 minutes into this second test drive he had decided to order one!

As for mine I got a good deal including an additional discount for February delivery (which suited me very well), nothing like that offered by New Car Discount, but  I am happy to support my local dealer.  I felt that overall the benefits of the Sport Navi outweighed the features I would loose compared to the EX.  Anyway I confirmed the order Monday am, car arrived at Listers Wednesday and I will collect on Thursday 22nd. It could have been earlier but this was the first available day when both myself and OH could be there.

I went to my local dealer's, this afternoon. To book a service/ mot.

They had two, sporty blue, Sport 1.5's, just arrived......
















They looked, a shade darker, than the pics show.

I had the same issue when I swopped my first Civic which was blue for a brand new Jazz, unfortunately Honda had stopped doing a blue one at that time and we had to settle for Urban Titanium someone was not very delighted, but success was achieved when we went back to a Civic and she is now a happy bunny again.  ;D

Collected the Jazz Sport Navi CVT yesterday. First impressions are very good. It drives very well and the LED headlamps look very nice but I have yet to try them in the dark. However the foglights are halogen!  The gloss black wheels not only look good but I shall worry far less about them than the diamond cut ones on my previous EX. Still getting used to not having keyless entry and climate control and I may investigate aftermarket reverse cameras if in a week or two I consider one a necessity.

On the road all worries about lack of initial acceleration when pulling out etc have gone and in contrast you sometimes have to be careful not to trigger the traction control if it is damp. Overall I am delighted with the car and the sales experience with Listers Honda Solihull

Lovely car. I love the black wheels. Seems a deeper red than the 67 plate I had as a courtesy car.

John, Jocko. Thank you for your kind comments. 

The Milano Red does significantly change its apparent shade according to the ambient lighting conditions. The attached rear view was taken outside the dealers in the sunshine and it looks almost orange, whilst in the shade it looks even darker than the picture taken outside my house.

Yes, the one I had looked like that, but there again, I only saw it in sunlight.

Hi any thoughts on the pearl white jazz sport as im not sure in choosing the red or white.Im also thinking of adding rear tints as i know a good mobile fitter who has done 3 past cars.
Like said its a shame there is no reversing camara or even park assist but i remember when we used to have no air con and had to wind windows up so not too bothered.

My wife has Peral white GE Si and it is a great colour,  get the DiamondBrite coating on it and it will stay looking perfect for many years...
