BAD REAR DOOR PRESSING RESULTS IN DOORS NOT FITTING FLUSH
Honda Australia
You need to look at the pressing of the rear doors on the 2017 Jazz model GF. A lot of the Jazz rear doors do not fit flush, including mine. How these cars get past quality control in Thailand beats me. One would think in this day and age a well fitted door would not be beyond a car manufacturer to produce. The selling dealer can not do much with these doors as that is how they come out from the factory. Badly built and even worse pressing/engineering of these doors. Poor build quality indeed. If I had noticed this problem at p...Read more

Value for money - bought two :)
Bought a 2015 model with 48,000km and liked it that much I bought a 2018 model with 7000km on it (both manual transmission both Vti basic model)
*I like things basic in new cars ( less complications ) the Jazz offers that,
*Exceptionally easy to service (I do my own)
*nice to drive, great on fuel, not overly powerful ( but that's not why you buy a Jazz )
*Great Family car, more practical than most larger family sedans
*features like Aircon, great sounding touch screen audio, cruise control, power windows, steering wheel controls, hands f...Read more

Absolutely love it
If you are looking for a small car that is comfy, economical,easy to handle and looks cute the JAZZ is what you want.
The seats fold flat to make a very spacious area for luggage or even camping.
The car is very quiet and so zippy and easy to park.

Best small car for everyone especially for bicycle riders
I purchased this second hand for airport run. I am a FIFO worker and I need a reliable second car solely for airport commuting. During a month of ownership, I am very satisfied with this zippy Jazz. I can recommend this to people who want reliable, cheap to maintain, fuel efficient and bicycle loadable car. It is a good highway cruiser too.
Here are more detailed information,
* fairly easy DIY maintenance: engine oil cost $20 (sale from supercheap) filter is $15, spark plugs, cabin filter, air filter, automatic transmission fluid change a...Read more
re all easy DIY jobs. Of course if you do these at shops, they charge, for example, min $200 for auto oil change, but it costs me $55 for HONDA OEM oil. *good fuel economy: I get around 5l/100km, 20km/litre on highway and 5.2l/100km combined * great loading size: if you love cycling, this is by far one of the best SMALL car for bike transfortation, thanks to magic seats *quite few tweaks required to upgrade your speaker and audio unit; stock OEM speaker is rubbish so you want to upgrade with after market ones but to do that you either need an adaptor or modify your speaker bracket.Similar opinion?

Honda service looking for gold under the hood.
If Honda service centre in Prahran gets hold of your car they will be sure to suggest many expensive repairs and when you say you can't afford them they will pull the old scare tactic of roadworthiness. They wanted $500 to replace a rubber that insulates the engine vibration from the car body. When I asked to be shown the problem they said they couldn't, it was actually just a prediction of what might happen as the car gets older. How can what might happen later make the car unroadworthy now and since when is vibration grounds for unroadworthin...Read more
ess? The same thing happened with the shock absorbers. For $700 I could have more rubber replaced to prevent them rattling. Then they wanted to replace the platinum-tipped spark plugs for $95 each and for $85 they would also like to replace the wiper blades. I asked if they too were platinum-tipped. They didn't get my sarcasm and just frowned like I was crazy. I said NO to everything and now am looking around for an alternative place to maintain my car and any REAL issues it presents. My next service is the 200,000 Km @ $1,200. When I mentioned this price seemed high I was told it was my fault for keeping the car so long. I've spent $16,000 on servicing my Honda Jazz every 6 months or 5,000 km since buying it new in 2003. I asked if it was poor engineering that required such frequent servicing. My friend owns a Toyota and spends $152 every 12 months for a service. When I mentioned this to Honda they explained that Toyota Australia subsidised services to keep them so low. I remarked that Toyota was starting to look good in that case. They just stood there staring at me speechless. Oh, what a feeling!

2018 Jazz – perfect small van
This is my first car and although I wanted a second hand one, this turned out to be alright. My favourite thing about the Jazz is the space. It is roomy and perfect for traveling. One of the let-down features (for my dad) was how the VTi-S didn't have a CD player. The aircon takes a bit of work to cool the car when it is Summer so that stinks. I like the driving experience, I'm don't know how to describe too well car terminology but it drives smoothly. The noise is minimal, great legroom, even for a short person like me – the seats cater to. Cheap fuel – fuel efficient!

Not worth the money
It drives OK but is really bumpy driving for passengers in the back seat. The suspension isn't all that great. Really good on fuel and I like how the back seats fold up. The trimming on the passenger side window started falling off within 2 weeks that I had it. Honda never got around to fixing it, as they always forgot lol. Went through a puddle one day which ripped the bottom engine splash shield in half. Took it back to Honda who said they would fix it when they only tighed it back on with cable ties. Now the electric window (driver side) only works when it wants to and the radio cuts out every now and then since day 1. I wouldn't buy Honda again.

PIV gear box
then gear box develops a shudder .
to clear the gear box needs to be flushed out with honda gearbox oil
any car that has done more then 120k should be suspect if the gear box has not been re built
honda is letting its brand and customers down by not doing the right thing and replacing a faulty design

Plastic Trim Below Wind Screen Faded
My Honda Jazz is still within the warranty period. The first fault was the front seat belt buckle did not lock properly. Honda dealer had it replaced.
The second issue was the plastic trim below the wind screen which faded. Honda dealer and Honda HQ said it was due to "sun damage", and not covered by the warranty.
I am still puzzled because all cars are made to be driven and parked under the sun, in the rain, under the moon ... So the plastic trim should withstand the beating of the Australian sun and rain. I noticed that cars of other brands did not have such fading problem. I am at wits end, and don't know what else I can do.
I am not sure would anyone accept that a raincoat damaged by water is an acceptable explanation.

My baby
Have a 2017 Vti-L and and I love my car, the first one I bought myself. Super cute and actually really roomy compared the Suzuki Swift I used to drive (passed through the family). I personally think the interior is the best compared to all the small hatchbacks on the market currently. Wheel traction could be improved. Affordable to run but. It's a good little car.

2015 Jazz auto - good car
The Jazz is a great car to drive. I had a 1.3 auto previously and it was gutless. The 2015 1.5 auto has plenty of grunt for going up hills and overtaking when needed. So much better to drive.
Seats are comfortable and it is a pleasure to drive.
However I found that the lights were terrible and had to ask Honda service to adjust them - had to ask 3 times before they actually did it. At first they said there was nothing wrong, then they said it was not possible, finally they did adjust them & the lights are now ok.
The best thing about Ho...Read more
nda in my experience is that if you service your car with them, then a Honda rep ( usually a lady) calls and asks you if you were satisfied. When I've told her my issue she's organized with the service department to fix it. I had a couple of other minor issues and she got onto them for that as well. I told the service department my wipers were not doing a proper job and again took 2 or 3 goes before they paid attention. So that wasn't so wonderful. As these things were critical for safe driving I was not happy. So I am now in two minds. On the one hand its a nice car but the servicing is not wonderful. On the other hand Honda does care and so they chase things up for me. Actually I am not sure if its the dealer or Honda Australia who chases this up - be worth knowing.Similar opinion?

Everyone's favourite!
The small car that doesn't feel tinny, economical, reliable, zippy and ohh so easy to park! Its comfortable - has enough leg room, and enough room on the backseat for kids seats too. The backseat folds up revealing a LOT of room so doing massive shops or transporting large things is never problematic. Its quiet to drive, does equally well in the city and on the freeway. Acceleration is what can be expected from a small car. Service is cheap.
I will definitely buy another Jazz once this gets too old to drive - which is not for a while I'm told by my mechanic.
Highly recommended.

Great car, but wish it had a little bit more power
We bought our 2009 VTIS new back in 2009. It's a great little car, lots of leg room, great turning precision and comfortable enough. The fuel economy is pretty good too even for a 1.5l. It's lived up to its brand, this is my fourth Honda and with around 70k on the clock it's been well worth the price. The magic seats are truly magical, and the paddles on the steering wheel are quite responsible compared to similarly priced vehicles. The 5 speed auto transmission is a must, I wouldn't touch anything with CVT. All in all, great car..just wish it was a bit peppier but I guess the car wasn't made to be fast. My last Honda was a Integra Type R and my other car now is a 3.0TDi Q5. I really feel the change in power.

What a great little car.
Lovely to drive. Hugs the road. Great on the freeway and city streets. Quiet to drive. Economical on fuel. Mechanically sound. I have had no major issues with mine in 4 years and we have done quite a few kms.
Tidy and well designed inside and out. Everything is easy to use. No manual required.
Easily fits 5 people. Also fits baby capsules and car seats well. Plenty of leg and arm room inside. Doesn't feel like a small car at all. Boot fits more than expected. Often suprises us.
First little car I have owned and loved it. Now upgrading to a Honda CR-V as need something to tow.
Can't recommend this little car enough!

Zippy city car

Lovely zippy car
I have had this car for a few weeks now and I love it. It is very driveable in the city, easy to park and great for transporting kids and shopping. The plus is that large shopping can fit into the car with the magic seats folded down to the car floor.

It's a good car
Our second jazz, first one was a 2005 VTIs, this one a 2012 vibeS. Great flexible interior, magic seats are just that.
Reliable, reasonably cheap to run, very good regarding maintenance, as in nothing failed, nothing. Still has original front brake pads at 100k kms.
however, limited front leg room for taller driver/passenger, 1.5l engine has to work hard and hunt with the 5 speed auto, always optimistically changing up - then back down, and up, and down. Also felt the quality had dropped a bit vs the 2005 VTIs, paint quality was not as good o...Read more

Love it!
I loved my jazz, it is a small car but it definitely is the best car i've ever driven so far. It is very economical and i do managed to save up a fair bit because it does not use up a lot of fuel. It has a pretty cozy interior in comparison to other small cars, it is also great for transporting large size things because you can just put the seats down and transformed into a mini van.
