Collected my Honda Jazz Crosstar EX Today

[BigRon]

Just collected my new Honda Crosstar this afternoon arrived yesterday around 11.00.

Ordered a two tone in Red/Black on the 8th July 2020, original delivery date to dealer was 16th August but dropped to 12th August immediately. Few days later went back to dealer and change it to Crystal Black Pearl which also showed as 12th August. Couple of weeks ago delivery was pushed back to 19th August.

Only driven it back from the dealers (12 mile) as the cats and dogs were have a great time. Had one modification carried out, not fond of the piano white trim had the trim changed to piano black much better.

Fitted a OBDII bluetooth (which came from my previous car) to run Torque Lite on a 7" tablet to show revs, coolant temp etc, planing to update to Torque Pro (£2.95) as it will show percentage hybrid battery and a few other parameters.

Next item is front and rear dash cams weather permitting.

Congrats on the new car. Keep us informed as you get used to it.

Welcome to the Crosstar club. 

I couldn't get Torque Lite to show the coolant temperature so I'll be interested to know if you succeed in getting this info. I've stopped setting up an improvised tachometer after figuring out how the revs behave (reported in another thread) while the vehicle's own battery gauge gives adequate info (but 10% bars are a bit coarse - 5% would give more detail (ditto for the fuel gauge)).

Reminder: To disable the keyless key hold down both buttons for a few seconds until a little green light flashes (don't forget to do this to the spare key as well). Pushing either button wakes the key up.

"keyless key"?  Wish I had one of those.

Yes noticed Torque Lite doesn't show coolant temp, did in my last car, at £2.95 for Torque Pro might give it a try which also possibly shows oil temp and transmission temp?? according to the list given for the Pro version.

Car Scanner does show coolant temp but only last for 1 month then costs of around £3.95 for the full app.

Going to give both a good workout and for what it costs may buy both and finally settle on one.

Been trying to setup MyHonda+ but after entering the vin nothing happens, dealer's Sales Manager has used the iPhone supplied from Honda which worked then tried his own which didn't work. Waiting to hear from my dealer.

Does it come with 2 keys?

[Mellorshark]

3 or 4 if you count mobile phones with the app.

Thanks. It will be our main car and I'm afraid of asking my wife for The Key!!! Past few years we have had a couple of cars with only one remote key. I managed to persuade the dealers to give me a second. Mazda and Citroen

Review of Crosstar in our local paper, the tester said the extra £1,200 for Crosstar body kit not worth it,  otherwise liked the 2020 Jazz ... also said he like the styling of earlier Jazzes better..

The Crossstar is worth it for the suspension and stereo upgrade...

Collected mine. Only done a short drive home (3 mile) but felt very comfortable - in all respects. Tomorrow setting it up to suite me. Report back later on.

Watching with interest as I'm very seriously considering switching my 2013 Civic auto to a CrossStar next year.

I like my Civic, never had a single problem,  best car I've ever had in over 50 years but it will be 8 next year even if only on 22k miles.

Keep us up to date. Yesterday I made a downpayment for a 2021 Crosstar - will be picking it up in April. My current lease ends in March.

OK - just been and put everything back in - dash can etc. Started to get my head around controls, display - bit at a time. Just finding it a bit awkward reversing - getting used to the way the throttle works etc - but that will come in tome. Do miss the CD player - but hey - we move more into the modern world!!. More after first full drive. So far so good. Did think the ride on the 3 miles yesterday in town was better that the HRV.

I use my rearview camera. Some refer to it as the back bumper.
