In October 2008 I bought a new Honda Jazz 1.2 having studied the literature given by the Honda dealer with particular reference to the fact (so I was told) that this car would qualify for a low road tax rating in 2009. I was not pleased to receive word from the DVLA this month that my road tax renewal would be at the normal higher rate. I queried this with them, with Honda UK and the salespeople only to be told that while Honda advertised this car to be in the low emission class in the summer, when the car actually came out in October the emission rate exceeded UK ruling. As this was a major factor in my choice of a new car I feel very annoyed at this but it seems there is no way of avoiding paying the full rate. So much for Honda's quote in their brochure 'we want to fill the world with great ideas, not pollution'. I am sure there must be others who feel they have been misled in this way
