Bought the 2013 Honda Jazz Vibe-S (auto) for the wife with a tad over 20,000 kms on the clock. We love how spacious the little car is on the inside for such a small bodyprint. The magic seats have been perfect for us when moving houses as we have been able to pack in a surprising amount of large items into the back with the seats folded down, including a 6 drawer chest of drawers, 1100 x 1300 canvas painting and outdoor furniture!
Performance and handling is as expected with a 1.5L engine returning real world fuel economy of around 7-8L/100km...Read more

I purchased this used blue 2012 Honda Jazz GE manual VTI vibe hatch back from Formula Honda September 2016 to replace my troublesome GD Honda Jazz, although the buying experience was pleasurable, the car has turned out to be rather disappointing. Mine is the 1500 cc manual V T I, with quite a few extras, like side skirts, driving lamps, etc. The car is very appealing to the eye. It is really roomy for a small hatchback, also, you can store things as large as a washing machine in the rear with seats folded down. The car had 13,000 kms on the odo...Read more

Bought my Honda Jazz with 52000 km, great car at first, had it serviced when due, then at 86000 the engine blew up, it was 6 weeks out of warranty. Took it to Honda dealer where originally purchased said they need to strip it down to see if can warrant engine at a cost of $850.00 to me. Result - I must have driven through water which then somehow got through air filter resulting to 1 corroded engine rod. What a heap of crap, if that was case all 4 rods will have corroded according to a reputable independent mechanic. Dealer told me my engi...Read more

I have owned this used GE Honda jazz automatic transmission vehicle for almost 3 years, we have put 60,000 kilometres on the clock, with only 2 minor issues, 1st one was the battery failed at a very early age, about 4 years from date of manufacture to be precise, and the only other one was the rear brake pads, but in all fairness I lost count the amount of time the hand brake has been left on by mistake.
My wife and I average about 7 litres per 100 kilometres in the real world but on a straight line journey it is as good as 4.5 litres/100 kms...Read more

it drives well has not let me down 91,000 km its fuel consumption is nothing near what Honda claims near 30% more

I've had this car for 3 years this month and have had no issues except an air filter changed. Value for money at the time and came with accessories. It drives pretty good, doesn't have as much power as other cars and is little slow but is not that important, this was the 1.3L Japanese model. Feels a bit bumpy on the road compared with other small cars but thats being picky. However the interior is great quality and the style is young and modern. The interior is huge, one of the biggest small cars inside and small on the outside. Just tried the ...Read more

I purchased the car new. I was told they never rust.
In no time at all rust appeared in all four door drain holes. I asked about that at second service. They said no worries it's just the very edge of the metal where it's been cut doesn't have paint. It'll be fine.
Next thing rust popped up at the bottom of all the doors and under the bonnet. Fortunately the car was under rust warranty but claiming it was like dealing with the Marfia.
Finally and I mean finally after much arguing with the local dealer then Honda Australia it was repaired u...Read more

I upgraded my ageing 02 model 3 years ago, to a 2 year old 09 model. My 1.3 manual 09, now has 110 000 kms on it.

It will need brake pads soon.... oh and i had a faulty rear shock absorber, which i replaced the pair for $180.

The 09 has a LOT more power than the old 02, but its not quite as good on fuel. It has more room in the back, i can get TWO 5kg washing machines in it lol. Its easier to see out of, has a better stereo, handles better. My sister still has her 03 jazz with 190 000 on the clock, and it honestly drives like new. My mu...Read more

We bought a 2009 VTiS model, manual, new. It hasn't missed a beat in 53,000km. Have just replaced OEM tyres with same-same. We call it a VUV (versatile use vehicle) - because it is simply the most versatile small vehicle on the market. It fits me at 183cm (short-legged, long-backed) ‘just’. It can (and has) carry five adults, has three child-seat mounting points (in practice, 2 child-seats, or centre-mounted baby-capsule), can carry a startling amount of luggage like a 2-seat mini-van, or even 1-seat long-load mini-van, or ‘awkward parcels...Read more

The Jazz is a surprise to drive. It has a 1.3 V-tec engine, Power windows Cd Player with Connectivity, Airbags all round with the option of 4 speed auto of which I tested. On the road this car has plenty of go and is very comfortable. The seats are supportive and ride is smooth with a ripper automatic transmission. Take off is terrific for such a small engine and auto and interior space is ample even for tall drivers such as myself at 6"4. It has Magic fold up seats for carrying large items and the fit and finish is a little on the cheap side i...Read more

I've had my Vibe for 2 years now, bought brand new. It's well equipped and had some bonuses thrown in - climate control, cruise control, alloy wheels and my favourite thing about the car - electric fold in mirrors.
It's very roomy and feels solid for such a small car and lots of window so you don't feel claustrophobic like some other small cars. The magic folding seats really come in handy. I get around 7L/ per 100km.
The 1.3L motor is more powerful than I expected but it can struggle overtaking and up hills. The bluetooth was just added as ...Read more

Recently bought this 2012 Jazz VTi auto with only 17,000km on the odo. Well specified model with the 1.5L VTEC engine. Looks great in Rallye Red and is very enjoyable to drive. Excellent interior space for the size of car with amazing rear load space when the rear seats are lowered. Very versatile interior with excellent visibility in all directions. Easy to access any seating position and comfortable seats with ample head and leg room. Very fuel efficient but will require six monthly servicing according to the owners handbook. Only prob...Read more
