I believe that the honda original ones are NGK so I would buy NGK's - the type is specified in the owners handbook - they maybe £40 + from honda but dont forget there are 8 of them....

I think you will find that the 'Honda' ones are just NGK.

Go to Euro Car Parts or the like as their prices will be a lot less than Honda.

Go for fully synthetic like 'Castrol Edge 0W-30'

Got a full set of genuine Honda spark pkugs for £25.99 :o
Because local Honda dealer had listed them wrong on eBay.
I called them to see if the price was correct and for 8 not 4 and they admitted thy got price wrong and should be £37.99 plus postage for 8.
So I said I could buy the whole lot now for cheap price and sell them on for profit,buy I am an honest guy and didn't screw them for hundreds.And they let me have them for £25.99. ;D

I changed them to NGK iridium. cost bout 52 quid. Better than standard with better low rev torque. Highly recommended!

When you say low revs how low? The jazz has optimum torque at only 3000rpm! Any higher and it starts to fade.

It responses quicker and the pull from that torque range has slightly increased. high rev remain sloppy due to engine design.
