My first Honda - Fun, easy and practical car to drive and park
|
|
|
Owned this ride for about 7 months now but hardly used due to work from home.
Upon collection from showroom, head straight to Arrow Tyre @ Serangooon (first visit) to change to 17-inch rims with Michelin PS4 tires.
On the same day, went to Auto-Image (Ted Tay) @ Sin Ming to replace all the stock speakers.
After listening to their impressive demo, decided to get the solid Esatto speakers and installed 3 layers of soundproofing (4 doors).
Before heading to KAH Motor, we went to drive the 1.3 Fit and 1.5 Fit Hybrid at two different parallel importers.
The 1.5 Fit Hybrid is powerful (135BHP), smooth and quiet. We decided to put the booking on hold after we saw the additional Commercial/GST fee of $6-7K for 7 years loan. We also need to top up additional $1K for the Pearl White.
Decided to head down to KAH Motor @ UBI to do comparison. Salesman (Anthony GOH) was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He suggests us to test drive both the 1.3 and 1.5 Jazz. We opt for the Jazz 1.5 RS because it has more power, smoother and has disc brakes front and back.
We signed on the spot after comparing the loan package - No extra Commercial/GST fee or additional charge for Pearl White.
Looking back, we are happy we did not get the 1.5 Fit Hybrid from PI, we later realised it does not have the magic seats due to the battery location.

Spacious and reliable. Value for money and good for first time buyers

I am a first-time car buyer. My main concerns were price, reliability, value for money, functionality and practicality.
Have clocked 3000km to date, and went for 1k servicing. No issues at all. A great car for first-time car buyers who want a fuss-free mode of transport. Everything just works, and works well.

Good for weekends, not daily drive.

Have driven the jazz 1.3 for 2 years and upgrading to another car now.
Overall the car is very value for money, but that is where it may not be for everyone, because everything has a trade off. My main gripe with the car is the noise levels. The soundproofing is very bad and if you drive it daily it really can damage your hearing. Also, you will feel every single bump on the road.
All in all, if you are getting the car for weekends, it should serve you fine if you don't mind the loud cabin noise. However for a daily driver, I would suggest saving a bit more and moving up the segment to a better car. For the price however, it is probably still the best in its class if you dont mind a slightly uncomfortable ride but it is showing its age in terms of design and features.
In summary, you pay for what you get and the jazz 1.3 may be too much of a compromise for a lower price, leaving you yearning for a better car.

Unreliable car and poor service
|
|
|
I bought a Honda Jazz 1.5RS from Kah Motor Ubi in January 2020. The car has broken down multiple times on the expressway after the check light engine came on. This situation is unacceptable and a danger to my safety. Brought back to Ubi service centre but they were unable to diagnose the problem, refused to listen to my feedback and continued to insist the vehicle is okay. This is the 4th time in 6 months and I would not recommend this to any buyer looking for a reliable car. Service staff and customer service at Ubi were unhelpful and rude. The car is defective from the start (i.E. First engine light came within 2 weeks) but they have refused to accept responsibility. I am terribly disappointed and would not buy from Kah Motor again.
