Another thing is that when you press the brake pedal on Jazz, at first the hybrid system only brakes with the electric motor, charging the battery. When you press the brake pedal further down, Jazz starts braking with the disc brakes. Maybe this causes a slight delay before getting full braking force?
Thank you for your response!
I'm assuming the testers know how to "put the pedal to the metal" and the Toyota Yaris e.g. is a hybrid car as well but performed far better in the comparison.
Regarding tyres: I understand that "Yokohama BlueEarth" seems to be kind of a brand that comes in a lot of flavours!
Unfortunately Honda seems to see fit to slap the cheapest kind onto our cars
Honda is however not the only manufacturer to take this road - VW e.g. seems to hate the BlueGT (my former car) buyers...
The originally fitted Bridgestone Potenza 050 tyres were a disaster in the wet - moreover: They had all the usual performance indicators meticulously erased
As I value my life largely over the price of a
good set of tyres I had them scrapped after the first few thousend miles and bought Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (later 6) and never regretted it! Wow, what a difference! Wet or dry: The car with these tyres felt like "glued" to the road! (that's part of why I had to somewhat reduce my "cornering ambition" when switching to the Jazz)
Pity Goodyear doesn't offer them in the measly Jazz wheel size :'(
