Hello All
I went out to buy a Civic auto (I've not owned a Honda for decades, though I've tried to buy one on several occasions). Thought I'd try the Jazz as well - but not the CVT.
Then I thought: why not try the CVT? - and I loved it
I tried both the Mark 2 (it was actaully a 2015 EX without the paddles) and then a new top of the range Mk 3.
I preferred the more simple (i.e. no screens) layout of the Mk 2 and bought a 2014 ES+.
It's a shame it's got the 16inch wheels but that's easily remedied.
I was put off the CVT by all the reports of it revving too much - but I found the opposite to be true, it cruises at very low revs, perhaps the use of revs when needs is all the more apparent, but is certianly no problem for me.
In the end of the Civic cabin was a little too dark - especially in the higher specs. I've had the Jazz for about a week and confident that I made the right choice.
