Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid eCVT SE
Discussion
Whilst I'm a fully fledged car bore (Alfa Romeo 'special', as per my username) we do need a more practical car in our stable.
When my better half turned 40, back in 2009, she wanted something a little bit more grown up than her previous city hatchbacks. We bought a Honda Jazz. And we were both smitten. It's not an exciting car (it even came with a trilby on the back parcel shelf.....and driving gloves!) But it is so practical - especially the magic seats. There are only the two of us but for holidays etc it's great.
Turning 50, 4 years ago, she treated herself to something more in keeping with a mid-life-crisis.... a Mini Cooper. Which provides the thrills but without much in the way of practicality and we just couldn't bare to part with the Jazz - which has now done 110,000 pretty much faultless miles. (1 battery, 4 bulbs, two front brake discs / pads).
But..... it's just failed it's MOT. Needs a small weld on sills (only rust on car) and new rear brake discs. So, perhaps it's time to move on as it's not worth much £1700 and no doubt other bills are on the horizon. (Clutch etc)
Honda are now going down the hybrid route.
Does anyone have any direct experience with this model 2023 Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid eCVT SE?
I'd appreciate any anyone's experiences.
Thanks

HI,
We (SWMBO) decided to replace our 16 yr old Jazz with a new car last year.
Criteria were simple: Has to be automatic, preferably Japanese (as the old Jazz had been so reliable, economical, comfortable & versatile).
Ended up in the local Honda dealer & came away with a new Jazz.
We are more than pleased with it.
As it happens, it isn't actually an automatic, as it doesn't have a gearbox. It's better described as a petrol / electric. As far as I'm concerned, that's simply a matter of description, it doesn't have gears, which is what we wanted.
We've just done a tour of N Yorkshire & it returned 65mpg.
It's got all the toys you could want - adaptive cruise, proximity warnings, auto wipers, auto headlamps, heated steering wheel, heated seats, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, spped limit sensors, auto handbrake, etc, etc.
We're very pleased with it.
(And being electric drive at low speeds, off the line acceleration can be brisk, especially out of econo mode. Great for upsetting boy racers in banger beemers.)

I posted the OP, there were no immediate replies and then, on Monday, there were 2 posts.
Bit like waiting for a bus - nothing happens and then two at once!
In the meantime, I had re-posted it in the EV thread.
