New Jazz 2014

[Pakdamek]

Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of buying the 2014 Jazz V....

Anybody with experience driving that car? Can share your thoughts?

Thanks.

Car looks great in pictures. In the flesh it feels odd. Doesn't click somehow.

one word: disappointment

the thing is, honda malaysia failed to bring the new engine which is the Earth Dreams 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine paired with a 7-speed DCT pumping about 130hp because of the cost.

the one on the road now is using the city's engine and built quality imho is just horrible.
now honda only interested in selling cars rather than bringing new technology here.

i heard that they could bring the new jazz in hybrid CBU japan, but thats just rumours.

Wow, didn't know it is still the old engine. Thought this new Honda Jazz/Fit upposed to have Earth Dreams engine and CVT?

Honda Malaysia basically says they are selling the new Honda Jazz, but give you the last generation engine. Wow. So full of shit lah. We Malaysians getting ripped off left and right. All the rubbish sell to us like we are a thrash can.

Don't think they will bring in if the hybrid not getting special tax allowance

What to do? They need to be competitive, thanks to the company that asked for RM1.6 billion from us.

Well don't care if the technology is new or old. As long as it is not obsolete, reliable, efficient, meet your standards and requirements then go for it. Jazz is quite a nice car if u ask me. Google for issues on older jazz. If you can live with it and you like that car, buy.

as im a fan bro, i was real disappointed. if not i will be one of the first to get it. haha.

i hope they do and then CKD it. just like what happened to the 2nd generation of jazz.
if the rumours are too good to be true, first badge should be priced around the prius c. RM 150k ++

well said but like i said i am a fan/owner of honda jazz. cant deny the new shape is pretty but with the specs.. just hampeh.
u know what i meant if ur an owner of a 1st or 2nd generation.. its an upgrade especially if im talking about the engine. enough said.

Would you buy a iPhone 6 that has the processor of iPhone 4 inside? It is not "obsolete", just last gen. It is as reliable as the iPhone 4.

But hey... there's always a Samsung..which is faster and nicer. Unless you die die must have iPhone, why not buy something else that is value for money?

Vote with your money. Don't be ripped off by Honda Malaysia.

Good analysis. Btw, now even got Mi3 around RM7xx and the spec is good too. My father is very happy on his Mi3 especially the camera quality.

But samsung always become laggy after being used some time wor

Lets put it this way, its an iphone 6, with iphone 4 processor, but with new looks and iphone 6 features. Its like Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5. We wouldnt know even if the processor in S5 is replaces by the one from S4 because we seldom use it to the limit to realize that. But you still get S5 features and the speed is acceptable to you, and at a cheaper price.

Of course, you can get a xiaomi instead

hahaha.....thanks for the hilarious responses guys.....I think for 87k price tag with that specs, I'll pass Jazz for now. :-(

Problem is, the Honda Jazz 2014 in Malaysia is not cheaper than anywhere else in the world. In fact its more expensive, and last gen engine whereas everyone else using new Earth Dreams engine.

 

[beatnik]

The previous gen Jazz is nicer IMHO.. the new model, plastic like vios.. rear seats are a bit upright so not so relax for passengers.

 

[es2611]

the thing is that if the new jazz comes with an old engine from japan and CKD it malaysia i will not be that disappointed.
that being said, the new jazz should come with the new engine and that what i called an "upgrade".

dont be like vios.. new car but keep on recycling old engine and just like ip4 processor in ip6 body.

what to dooooooo.....didnt manage to CHANGE the culprit so we have to suffer.

But the prices of Jazz and City are quite close...i would go for City instead

 

[vr2turbo]

It does looks odd on the road...

Just saw one today, maybe not accustom to it's look yet, but don't look that good...

Well, I must say the City is handsome.

Yet it looks great in pictures. That's the thing! Odd. Must be the shape. Oh well, its a crap buy in Malaysia.

Yes, even the interior is nicer compared to Jazz (well own preference). But only the top variant because the AC control is like touch screen
