What bothers you about the Jazz Mk4?

[Lincolnshire Rambler]

Not much bothers me about my Jazz . I would choose to turn off the lane departure tech permanently rather than at every departure. I only use the infotainment to play spotify music or waze traffic maps oh yes and listening to radio channels . Its the right size for my wife our hound and kit for weeks away . The hard plastics are easy to clean when they get sand mud coffee or grandkids sticky fingers all over them !!

As for the complaints about the paint: everyone should have just chosen Premium Sunlight White Pearl.
For starters, you hardly see dirt on it and after almost 4 years the paint still looks very good.
Hardly any swirls visible, probably also because the car is washed by a company that washes by hand (2 bucket method).
There are a few very small stone chips that I will touch up at some point (I think. Maybe. Someday...)

I find the gear stick rather reassuring after experiencing Peugeot/Opel hire cars abroad with the little lever system. My only irritation with the latest Jazz is the complexity of the software menus, but once you’ve got things set up to your liking, you don’t often need to use them. I’ve now managed to get the car’s WiFi to connect with my phone’s hotspot network without having to do anything provided I’ve got my phone’s settings open on the hotspot screen.

In an ideal world I'd prefer some of the design elements of the Civic dash. 

Don't like the lid of the storage space on the passenger side.  Don't keep anything in it and it looks naff.

If the above is the sum of my complaints I've really got nothing to get me bothered.

[Kremmen]

I keep a notebook and pen in there, just in case

After reading the previous post by Ledburner, I realized that this also bothers me. I find myself often turning the headlights OFF after parking, by using the rotary light switch on the indicator stalk.

Why? Just get out and shut the door, the lights go OFF, anyway

In our country, you can't switch the lights to the "OFF" position at all. This position is there, but apparently there is some kind of spring in the lever that always releases it from this position.

This has nothing to do with your (or our) country. Read page 191:

Really? If it's like the Mk3, then if the car is stationary you can switch to "Off" and all the lights go out; the switch springs back to "Auto" but the lights stay off. As soon as you start to drive again, they'll come on. If I don't want the lights to stay on for a short while after I park, it's not exactly difficult to tweak the switch to turn them off. Does the Mk4 not do this?

That also works. But sometimes I stay in the car for a while after parking, and then it's nice that there is the OFF switch.

The gear stick needs to be in park "P" position, or else the lights won't turn OFF. Strangely the manual says (on page 189 or 191) that in addition to the P gear, the parking brake should be applied as well, but in my car the lights can be turned OFF whether the parking brake is applied or not.

In Mk4 the light switch OFF position seems to work in a similar way as ColinB just described.

[stani]

I think it's "mandatory daytime running lights". For example, in Germany this is not mandatory.
But maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, it doesn't stay in the "OFF" position.

[ahavoja]

Stani, the switch doesn't stay in the OFF position (because it has a spring inside), but the lights should still stay OFF. Try putting your gear selector to P first, and then turning the light switch to OFF. Now the lights should remain OFF, until you shift out of P gear.

Yes , its the same on the mk 4 (UK specification)

I just leave the light switch stalk in Auto and let it do it’s thing

Never had a problem with it set to Auto.  I do the same with the Auto wipers, leave it in Auto but occasionally I think the wipers are a little bit slow to react

[ColinB]

Couple of words of caution:

Doesn't work in misty or foggy conditions because the light level may not be low enough for the auto lights to come on. You need to turn them on manually, otherwise you're driving with just front DRLs and no rear lights.

Be careful in winter. You should switch off the auto wiper function if there's any possibility of the wipers freezing to the screen.
