Should I buy a used Honda Jazz?

Well, if you’re looking for a fuel-efficient car, then a Honda Jazz is a very good choice. With an official combined fuel-consumption figure as low as 5.7 litres per 100km, and the ability to run on the cheaper 91-RON unleaded, the Jazz’s weekly fuel costs will be among the lowest around. But $15,000 is a crazy figure. The entry-level Jazz was only about $16,000 when brand-new, so even though the kilometres showing on this one are extremely low, the price being asked is astronomical. The most expensive 2008 Jazzes out there are asking around $8000 (and that’s too much) with plenty out there for $4000 or less. The difference would be if you meant to type 2018 instead of 2008 (which is a better match with the odometer reading you’re quoting) at which point $15,000 starts to look like roughly the right price to be paying. Either way, the Jazz is nicely built, drives well and will be very economical.

Honda Jazz 2018: Can I increase the legroom in my car?

It should be ok, but to be sure I suggest you contact Vicroads who will be able to put you in touch with one of their approved engineers. In turn they will be able to tell you if you would be contravening an ADR. By modifying the car you will affect the factory warranty in those areas you change.

Honda Jazz 2007: Transmission problems

There was a lot of trouble with the auto transmission in the Jazz of that era. You don’t say if the transmission that was fitted was new or used; if it were used I would suggest the transmission is the problem. You also mention the fluid being changed, it’s very important that Honda fluid is used, and you say it was when it was changed, but you don’t say what oil was in the transmission before it was changed. The damage might have been done before the fluid was changed. I think you could be up for another transmission.

Honda Jazz: Replacement key cost

There are many options for replacing your key fob: some cheap, some not so cheap. Without more information about your vehicle I can't determine what would be the cheapest option, but have a read of this article for a greater list of options for key fob replacement.

What's a good used small car for city use?

Yes, the Honda Jazz would be a good choice for your needs. It’s well built, commendably reliable, and should do everything you want it to.

What should I do if my brand-new car makes me uncomfortable?

I’m not surprised that Honda won’t or can’t help. Before you sell the car contact IdealSeat Company in Melbourne (03 9555 7788) who handle Recaro seats.

Are there any problems with the transmission in the Honda Jazz?

The CVT transmission in the Jazz was prone to shuddering. To fix it Honda introduced a service requirement on the transmission, basically to change the oil. The automatic transmission in your Mazda is not a CVT, and does not suffer the same problem. But automatic transmission specialists will always tell you that it's wise to service automatic transmissions to prolong their life. It's even more important if you do a lot of towing.

Answered by CarsGuide 21 Sep 2010

I understand that Honda has doubled the warranty on the CVT transmission because of problems like your daughter has experienced. At least one other owner I am aware of has had the CVT transmission replaced free of charge. I would approach Honda directly and ask for assistance with this problem.
