I am planning to show it to Honda service guy during first service. Please let me know.

Indeed it's a very handy feature.
It does differentiate. I'll check my recent ride and upload an image once I reach office.

The route taken is always marked in red color, but the other events such as high speed, sudden brake are highlighted with respective color dots on the route. See the below images.

mmm..mine doesn't show any such dots, only during breaks it shows, but no idletime/highspeed etc. I will definitely show this thing during the first service this weekend.

Yesterday evening had an awkward experience folks. This was my first time with Jazzy inside a shopping mall (we went for a movie). It was tremendous rush during evening 7pm-ish and when the mall security asked me to open the hatch, I suddenly realized that there is no separate hatch release here (it was there in my last car - so 4.5 years I didn't have to think this angle). It took me a while to think what should I do then I unlocked the door and asked the security fellow to open it by himself. He tried for a while and failed, then I had to step out of the car (in that incline) and believe-it-or-not, I couldn't open it myself either! Already there was long queue of cars piled up so the security fellow allowed me to get in (in good faith) without checking my boot.

Not sure if there is an issue or I was flustered under pressure? Whats to be done to open the hatch release in such mall entries - whats the standard operating procedure guys?

I believe you just need to disengage central locking and the hatch can be opened by itself. No separate procedure as such. Took me a couple of minutes to figure this out as well!

Fantastic looking car there! Congratulations. The image is absolutely fine.

Honda connect doesn't show all markers for me either. All I've seen so far are hard braking and idle > 4m.

I had a similar incident with my office security. I used to unlock the central lock when I stop for the check and the security would be able to open the hatch and complete the check. On one of the days, I was pre-occupied and got a bit delayed in opening the central lock. By the time the security tried to open the hatch but the lever was opening/closing fully without the hatch getting opened. I got down and tried and same result. The lever will move freely but the hatch wont open.

I then checked the central locking and it was in open position. I locked and opened the central lock once again and this time the hatch opened right away. I was thinking about this behavior and it seems to me that if the security (or someone else) is keeping the hatch lever pulled and if we do the unlocking at that time, it could cause this problem. Of course, this is just my theory. I havent gotten around to verifying yet.

On a related note, I personally hate this cental-lock tied to hatch release behavior and would prefer a separate hatch release.

This happens in the old Jazz as well. If you try to open the door when the car is being unlocked, it gets locked.
Don't panic. Just lock it once more and then unlock (either through the remote when outside or through the driver side door lock when inside) it will work.

Completed all the documentation & the loan process today, & I am about to get my beauty this friday for delivery. As it is summer, would like to know the best suited sun shades for Jazz & the source to purchase. If any shop in Hyderabad does sell the, let me know the address so that I can ride & get them. Also planning to get the Arm rest ordered from Ali Express as suggested by fellow BHPian VPrabhu sir. Getting Floor mats & body cover from the dealer. Any other accessories which needs to be purchased upright do let me know... I am super excited

[adimicra]

Hi Venky,
Congrats on your new car and wish you many happy miles.
I will not advise the body cover unless your car is parked without a shade... Personally, I have found it a big hassle and can scratch the paint if not handled properly.
You can go for other accessories like mud guards or parking sensors instead.

This is something I've noticed even in my father's alto K10. If you try to use the door handle while unlocking the car, the lock on that door gets stuck half way.

Locking and then unlocking it works.

Dear dieselOmaniac,

The Honda Connect has started working on my Honda Jazz VCVT just TODAY.
Even I could not understand how the like showed red all the time. THEN - I realised - the line is red and has nothing to do with the color code! For example, when I braked hard - then it shows a red dot or circle. I will see if I can share the view with you later.

Dear GKMahajan, Nice to know that you have activated Honda Connect too. The more people opt for it and become aware, HCIL will enhance the app and add more features to it (I believe).

After going thru my recent trips, I could finally detect 2 red dots, one for break point and one for hard brake. And not even one instance of high speed, although I have driven at 110 on rare occasions (just to check the 6th gear) - so not sure what speed it considers as 'high'.. Attaching the 2 views.

First casualty caused by the absence of a reverse beeper :(
Scraped a bit on the bottom most edge of the rear bumper. Thankfully not directly visible from afar.

I'm so habituated to the beeper system that parking with just the camera is quite a challenge for me as of now. Thinking of getting one installed in a week or two.
Any chance I can get a paint touch-up from Honda? How much would it cost?

Also, most importantly, I haven't been getting any fuel economy above 13-14kmpl. Is that normal? Or something I need to check? This includes highway, city, peak traffic city. I have yet to see the MID show anything above 15kmpl. And it's been about 300+km by now. I'm suspecting under-inflated tyres.

Is it feasible to export the data from the fuel log?

Dear ashishk29,

Sorry about the casualty.

My 2 bits:
Put a reverse sensor. I have put the Honda one. It is good. I got it from Deccan Honda, Pimpri, Pune.
Touch up cost should not be significant - do it.

I have done 7000+ km as of now on my Jazz VCVT. For about 165x2 km per trip x 2 trips per month of highway/main road driving and about 50x2 to 100x2 km of city traffic driving per month, I get about 15 kmpl. I have done these 7000+ km in 6 months of ownership. On the Pune Mumbai leg from Aundh to Mira Road - about 165 km done in about 3 hours, I got 21 kmpl on the MID. Till the Panvel end of the highway it was about 22 kmpl and dropped slightly after that. For a couple of trips I had maxed at 24 kmpl till Panvel!

Maybe you need to watch and see what you can improve in your driving.
My trick - watch the IFE and the Eco indicator (green/blue). It took me just a few days to decide what to do and what not to do. For example, sudden acceleration and/or sudden braking kills the FE. Similarly, wrong rpm for the particular load/speed also kills FE.
