Honda Jazz GF (2014-2020) Questions & Answers

Hi Lennie
My car does not have any rust issues. Hope I have answered your question?

My jazz has also rust spots, cannot believe it!

I’m another shocked Jazz owner (2014 model) who’s car rust is being fixed as I type.

That's annoying. I would definately push it as a safety issue if it is distracting you from your driving then it needs to be replaced. Mine certainly doesn't do it. We don't or have never owned a car that has. If the dealer won't I would take it to another. Good luck!

Mine is 2009 model

Hi Bob, I purchased my Honda Jazz in January 2015 (Dec. 2014 model) and in 2016 I noticed the first rust spots under the bonnet. I reported it to the service staff at Hoskins Honda (now Sutton City). They took some photos and promised to contact me. Nothing happened so at the next service I reported it again. By now rust spread to engine bay and the hatch door.
They took more photos and promised to contact me again. Since nothing happened I contacted Honda Australia. They advised me to deal with Sutton city. They took more photos (two years later) and I haven't heard from them since.
When I requested all further communication to be conducted in writing they went dead quiet and even rejected my registered letter which I than posted to Melbourne Honda Australia. No answer, so today I am attending the first session at NCAT.

I have a Jazz first registered December, 2016 and noticed rust under the bonnet and hatch. Nordic have arranged for the car to go to a crash repairer to have it rectified. My worry is that I can only see rust in very obvious places and there may be more I can't see. The front driver side door was also leaking badly. NOT HAPPY.

No idea ours is a 2010 model, bought central armrest box from Hong Kong, selected our model, was all good.

Purchased shark fin antenna via alibaba and all good .
Do not have an answer for the fog light aperture difference.

Services are every 10,000 km.
I'd be wondering why the seller can't find the service book.
Servicing is fundamental to the future of the car.

Is the car a Manuel or Automatic?
If its a Manuel then the 1.3L motor is fine if auto I'd strongly suggest the 1.5L motor.
My sister has an automatic with the 1.3L motor and she wishes she would have gone the larger motor.
Small motors in auto mostly just don't go well.

Honda Jazz cars are fairly cheap to buy new but the price of spare parts is very expensive.
I now know plenty of people who own Honda Jazz cars and there is a total consensus they rust easily.

I now also own a Citroen C3 and my wife and daughters love it.
I can never get a drive of it because it's so popular with them.
The Honda Jazz is looked on as being very much the second rate car.
The length of the wheel base on the Honda Jazz is quite short so it doesn't "track" well.
By this I mean it doesn't drive well in a straight line.

The Citroen drives beautifully has outstanding fuel economy and it's rust treatment will have it last a long time before I need to worry about it rusting away.

1st month. Every 6month after that.

$12,000 sounds a bit rich, considering there's a new model out (with a bigger motor, more features and better safety) that can be had for only a few thousand more... I would say a base 2013 would be worth around the $10000 mark now and a 2009 around $7000.
