Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Brake Pedal Extension.
« Last post by ColinB on April 30, 2024, 11:35:45 AM »Anyone recommend a product or method? My partner hates having her foot hanging in mid air so I guess if I extend it down somehow her heel can rest on the floor when pressing the brake. Jazz 2018 VTEC Auto. Thanks.Is it not possible to adjust the seat and steering wheel positions so that she is comfortable?
Also, I don't understand why her foot should be "... hanging in mid air ...". I don't have an auto, but I always thought that the recommended driving technique is to use the right foot for both accelerator and brake with the left foot flat on the floor all the time. That way the right foot is always on one pedal or the other, and shouldn't be left hanging.

My comment last night was supposed to be a contribution towards the "Should I use B or D?" debate. The answer, of course, is the same for any car whether ICE, EV, or hybrid: you should drive in whatever "gear" (I use the term knowing it's not strictly accurate here) best suits the road conditions. But to do that you need to know the upsides and downsides of the different options, and the advice from the hypermiling guru seems logical to me.

...Sounds more plausible.

When I have had enough excitement for the day, I put the stick back into drive, and have my medication. Seriously though, whilst “coasting”, I have not seen my battery gauge bars increase, but I think it helps. My onboard gauge over 8000 miles, shows 70.1 mpg., which has reduced from 72.3, due to a 500 mile mostly motorway trip.

« Last post by Jinbeizame on April 30, 2024, 10:22:34 AM »A serious question, may I defect from Honda? After having this brake issue I realize that as soon as your manufacturer's warranty has expired, you are likely to be treated as Second class citizen. ha
Thru my web search I have found the Toyota/Lexus warranty very very enticing. Their standard 3-year warranty can extend up to 10 years provided your car is serviced every year by the franchise. As far as I have read it's T&C, the extended warranty can cover almost all components (Honda's Brake operating simulator should fall into this category, I think.)

However D-mode comes closer to "coasting" than B-mode.
As there still is no "perpetuum mobile" and there are losses involved in the energy conversion process it probably boils down to personal preference.
