I really want to try the Jazz after reading your comments. It definitely is a great product in its own ride. Can you throw more light on how it fares through potholes and corners? Quote:

I'd like to elaborate on Valhallen's point here.
The Jazz's ride is really good. Yes, it does sound horrible when you go over a pot-hole at moderate speed, but it isn't something you can't tolerate. The ride at low speeds is a bit harsh but once you pick up speed, it can rival much larger luxury sedans. I will go all the way by saying that the ride is as good, if not better than the Civic. And I can say this because both cars are a part of our garage!
Oh and it's quite ironic. I drive a Santro on a regular basis, and everytime I drive the Jazz, I just feel like leaving the Santro in the scrap yard! Quote:

ACC is a convenience and there are quite a few cars that don't come with it, although at the Jazz's price, it ought to be included, along with electrically folding mirrors (which IMO, are more important than the ACC).
BTW, I just scanned the accessory list for the Fabia and rear wipers aren't mentioned. Quote:

I've quoted EssYouWe's post in yours, so I could explain it better! Just like how your priority is a rear windscreen-washer/wiper, our priority was the electric-fold-ORVMs. And we miss it dearly in the Jazz. In our tight parking-spot, it would've helped a lot! But it's something we've come to terms with.
And we've almost never used the rear-windscreen-washer/wiper in our car. Even though it would get wet during the rains, we've hardly used the feature. Although, we might need to use it some time! Quote:

Yup! That's how Hondas are! I've given GTO's Civic dyno-thread a read as well. The problem with Hondas are that you need to rev them a lot to get them to move quickly. The punch lower down in the rev-range is missing and he eradicated that with the de-cat I presume. |
