Hello Guys,
Recently purchased an All New Honda Jazz 2015 on 18th September.
Color - Golden Brown Metallic
On road Price- 7.95 Lacs for VMT Petrol , INDORE, Madhya Pradesh
Bargain from dealer - "ZERO"
Would like to share few Pros and Cons of the vehicle:
PROS:
1. Superb Handling and Road Grip
2. Stunning Looks.
3. Very large space as compared to other Hatchbacks.
4. Widest tires in its segment.
5. Comfortable drive in city as well as highway.
6. Highway Average - around 16-18 kmpl, city average - around 12-14 kmpl. May be higher after first service.
7. Steering is very smooth.
8. Audio controls and Bluetooth controls are easy to operate and placed suitable far from horn switch to avoid mis press.
9. Good quality music system and loud volume.
However, I bought this vehicle for my father and the main requirement was higher seats, smaller bonnet , big boot and easy visibility while driving. Thus his purpose was solved.
Apart from the pros above, I was little disappointed to see the cost cutting done by honda in lot of areas in the vehicle. Here is the list of CONS I would like to highlight:
1. Turn indicator LED's are not as powerful as other cars. not easily visible during daytime. I wish honda would have not installed them rather.
2. Do watch for the rusting on the TIE RODS behind front wheels. I got them rusted and have complained the HONDA for coating or replacement. Those important parts has to be at least galvanized or powder coated. you are better suggested to check this before paying the dealer.
3. Little lag in accelerating the vehicle below 2000 rpm. However this is good for my father in some sense.
4. Slight cabin sound in front seats when Driving on bumpy roads or bad cemented roads. The road noise is not isolated completely like in case of Hyundai or maruti. This may be irritating to some people.
5. The color I chosen is a magnet for dust. Dust is clearly visible on the vehicle, as well as water stains are also clearly visible.
6. No mudflaps comes with the vehicle. You will need to get them fitted by your own.
7. Gear knob/cover rotates sometimes from its place.
8. Doors are quite hard to open or close and sometimes slips out of hand while opening or closing them.
9. Only one key comes with central locking remote , while the other key is without remote. What a good example of cost cutting. and the honda peoples says that this is standard policy of honda.. Come on honda, don't be so cheap . Remote is a basic equipment and many times can be inoperative. In that case, RUN to honda and get the replacement remote for just Rs. 7000
10. Vehicle does not gets locked if any of the door is partially or fully opened. Further the system do not alerts this in any manner to the driver. It simply remains dead. so this becomes the driver's responsibility to monitor the indicators for the assurance of vehicle being locked.
11. one touch operation of power windows is quite confusing for new users.
12. The two Maps light inside the car does not turns off when the car is locked. This may drain battery if forgotten.
13. Seat belt reminder always annoy you until you put them on.
14. The A-Pillar of the car sometimes obstructs the vision while taking corners.
15. Camera Quality is normal. Neither bad nor as good as in Hyundai. However, one good point is that the camera is integrated in the music system, so it is quite to look at the camera and at the same time looking anywhere else. In my car it is fitted on the rear view mirror, which is not as accessible position as in HONDA.
Well the overall performance of car is quite good and since it is fulfilling my requirements, its OK and I am Happy for what I bought.
Thanks
