#15 of 17 Jazz in the Philippines by stevecebu Jan 06, 2007 (3:55 am)
Hi everyone, I am currently living in the Philippines. I bought a Honda Jazz about a year ago it had the 1.3L engine and was ok in city driving, but there is no way it got the mileage they claimed. I was only getting 10.5km/l in the city and that was with the aircon on low. It was a good car, very solid but I expected far better economy. We didn't have a heater in the car just and A/C and I had hat on low most of the time. You never get any real speed up at a constant level for any length of time so i's real city driving. I did a bit better when on an open road but that was lots of sharp curves and winding roads. The sort of stuff Miata drivers live for. The Jazz was ok and had no real problem even going to "Tops" which is the top of a large mountain in Cebu. When I moved I sold it for close to what I paid for it I think I spent P644,000 and the peso was P56.1 to the dollar back then, sadly now it's P48.5 I think. I did get to drive the 1.5L with the CVT transmission which was ok but I didn't want to wait for 2 months for the Manual transmission. I sold the car about 8 months ago as I was moving to a different island with much worse roads. I now own a Toyota Hi-Lux with a 2.7L diesel and I routinely get 10-12km/L although that's also mostly city driving. If I drive to Manila my economy goes way up. For referce the Hi-Lux which I bought new is a 4 door with a short bed. same economy as the 1.3L Jazz! The Jazz'Fit would get destroyed on the roads up here but I am seeing more and more of the around here. I will be moving back to the US next year and am considering another Jazz/Fit. If anyonehs any questions about the car I owned I'll be happy to answer what I can. Replies to this message: ferdiemangahas (Feb 04, 2008 9:26 am)

My wife has been driving her Jazz for a year now, no problems and a great drive - for a car of it's type. It's the 1.3/7-spd CVT. Link below takes you to the Honda UK site so's you can compare with your "Fit".   www.honda.co.uk/

Replying to: stevecebu (Jan 06, 2007 3:55 am) hi! i am ferdie from manila and i am thinking of replacing my 7year old Toyota Echo hatchback with A/T with a Jazz. Tried to find a decent, clean and fresh 1.3 iDSi A/T model but tough luck. however, i did manage to find a very fresh 1.5 VTEC M/T Model. I started driving a car with m/t until I got my current car (ECHO) and loved it and kept it all these years. would it be a wise decision to go back to a M/T if I do decide to get it and forego my dream of getting a 1.3 A/T model? will getting the VTEC M/T model prove to be a wiser and much better decision now and in the long run?   hope to hear from you asap as I need to decide immediately on whether i should close the deal and get the aspirated 1.5L VTEC M/T model or continue looking for a 1.3 iDSi A/T model?   thanks.
