I have clocked 3K on the Odo. Plan to take this up with my SA next month when I take her for the 2nd service. | |

Well I am a bit over 300 km mark and I have been having the feeling more in the first 150 km but as I have become more relaxed driving the car the problem seems to have disappear. It seems it is more to do with clutch release action |

![]() What makes me happy is how the engine responds in Jazz once you're in that meaty range. Past 2500 RPM and it suddenly behaves like a different car. I believe someone considering a vehicle mostly for city use should look at CVT variants. I say this after reading some of the comments from fellow members. Another option that can be looked at is Baleno, from the initial reviews it seems its more fun to drive than Jazz and Elite i20 due to the lower kerb weight. | |||

| ![]() Whitefield Honda has got a lot of Honda Jazz cars this month. The sales folks themselves admit that Amaze bookings have taken a big hit now that the Jazz has been launched. I got to inspect my car in the stockyard before making the full payment and getting the registering process started. The sales process though hasnt been all smooth though so Im keeping my fingers crossed on getting delivery next wednesday. I noticed most of the cars for delivery were shod with Michelins. Mine comes with Bridgestones IIRC with no possibility of getting them swapped with Michelins from another car ![]() One thing I noticed about all the cars in the showroom is that the insides of the rear wheel arches have poor finishing with a sharp bit noticeably sticking out. |

![]() Today I called up the SA to enquire about upgrading the central locking unit to include auto lock. According to them I will have to replace the system entirely and warranty will get void if any wires are cut. Polo horns are next on my list. | |

Maybe the jazz uses the same sheet metal quality as the i20 but loses out big in finishing of sheet metal each and everywhere. In wheel arches, only a partial fender cladding is provided. Also most metal pieces are exposed and very sharp. Even the metal weld points in the joints are not covered well. Also do check the door section and bonnet. Seems to be of a grade lower quality. But, the engine is a gem. I am in love with the rev happy petrol motor. As I explained some day, the jazz petrol behaves exactly in the same way as that of my diesel i20. Lol. Its slow at low rpms, and is not even as drivable as our old chevy spark. My dad had a complaint that the jazz is not as powerful as his old car, till I took the steering wheel. He was amazed. ![]() | |

| ![]() Does the New Jazz CVT offer Hill Start Assist feature. I could not find it mentioned anywhere on the Honda website. |

| ![]() I too had a Santro when I purchased the jazz.I agree that the Santro rules in low end torque and will put all the cars in the so called premium hatchback segment to shame including the Jazz. In order to really enjoy the IVTEC you need to rev it .period. Also when the rpm is low part throttle works better than flooring the accelerator. Press the gas pedal halfway for a second,lift your feet off the pedal for a moment and then press again. Last edited by adimicra : 16th October 2015 at 23:48. |

BTW, the fuel economy I'm currently getting is between 13.5 to 14 in city and 18.3 on highway runs (These are MID figures and the trip was set to 0 before I made a move). Did Indore-Ujjain-Indore last weekend and it returned 18.2. No more dodging the question "Kitna Deti Hai?" ![]() | |

Refer this post in the Aspire Thread - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offici...ml#post3826165 "Closest in terms of perception to a conventional automatic is the dual clutch automated manual. One difference can often be felt when you’re barely moving. If you’re stopped on a slight upward incline, a conventional automatic will “hold” you there without having your foot on the brake; likewise, your car will creep forward on level ground if you are stopped and take your foot off the brake. Automated manuals often won’t hold you on an upward incline, and may not creep forward on flat ground quite as smoothly as a conventional automatic does. This is most noticed in stop-and-go traffic." Also, this is from a City CVT ownership thread - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...tic-black.html " Hill Assist: I took the car on a steep slope and stopped. Released brake, and the car held on for 1 second before slowly beginning to roll. That much time is more than enough to press the accelerator and move up! This was in D mode. I was surprised to find this here. Starting on a hill has always been one of the scariest things for us!" Hopefully, some Jazz CVT owner can confirm this.Cheers! Quote:
![]() I think the issue you mentioned is there in my old Jazz as well but Honda seems to have tuned the new Jazz for better FE and thereby making the problem slightly worse. I guess in those situations, downshift to 1st and move on! No other choice. Last edited by adimicra : 17th October 2015 at 10:05. | ||

![]() OT - Wish Maruti had named its new hatchback as Zen instead of Baleno. This would have made much more sense ![]() | |

But, you will also feel huge difference on the highways at triple digit speeds where cars like the Zen and Santro tend to run out of breath and start to scream. The Ivtec comes into own at higher revs and the sound at higher revs is awesome. I don't know your driving style but even if you are a sedate driver, I would ask you to rev it really hard a few times to enjoy the Ivtec. (after running in period) Cheers!

So in summary, a car without Hill Hold feature can still hold on an incline if it has a Torque Converter. But whether it does and how long it does is dependent on the incline. It may hold for a long time on a gentle incline, couple of seconds on a relatively steep incline and maybe even less (or not at all) on a very steep incline. It does not hold the car with the brakes, it is a side effect of the forward creep it is attempting. In a car with explicit Hill Assist feature, the hold is independent of the car or the incline. It will hold for a few seconds irrespective of the other parameters. It uses the brakes to hold the car. | |||
