I have now done 6 months with my New 2008 model 1.5 L 120 HP Jazz. 6,500 kms on the clock and mostly used around town, Chiang Mai, Thailand, but with a couple of runs up to the Burmese border at Mai Sai and one longer trip of 800km to Roi Et. Overall the Car has performed well and I am pleased with my purchase. B705,000 plus about B80,000 extras, the main one being Navsat with rear view camera. B20,000 for insurance. On first service 10,000km or 6 mths, basically a check over and engine oil change, (filter at 20,000 1 year service). Very Professional Service organization, I am a former CAA Licensed Aircraft Engineer and I know a well trained mechanic when I watch one. More Office staff then engineers, with reasonable command of English. The car drives well and has adequate performance for a small car and an old lad. Fuel consumption going off the Dashboard read-out, worked out at 16.2Km/L, 45.76 MPG, over the 2,200 kms of my Roi Et trip, 800 each way plus local running around. I have just fuelled up this morning after a week of town use and 13.2 Kms/L, 37.78 MPG. Almost as good as my old VW Golf Diesel, which seem to do 45mpg Town or Motorway. The Jazz is slightly Harder work than the Nissan Tiida I had before. Jazz: 120 HP 6,600pm and 145Nm Torque at 4,800rpm, 5-speed torque converter auto. Tiida: 109 HP 6,000rpm and 153Nm Torque at 4,400rpm. 4-speed torque converter auto. The Nissan has more of a drivers engine and is easier on the road, despite having only 4 forward gears. My Jazz has the Paddle shift gearchange, very good, I was impressed, but slower then just putting your foot down in the Nissan which always responded instantly. Both cars have a 'S' setting on the gear selector, on the Jazz this enables higher revs in the first 4 gears, no 5th gear in 'S' mode. I use the 'S' setting mainly when climbing the several hill ranges preferring the normal fuel-saving 'D' mode for normal use. Of the cars I have hired since I have been in Thailand, Toyota has best, most comfortable seats, Nissan came second and Jazz last. There is zero lateral support on the Jazz seats, as Stirling Moss said in one of his Books. Bit like dicing in a Cadillac, one hand for the wheel and one to hold yourself in with. Overall well pleased with my Jazz. Admit it's probably only old fogeys like me who prefer Torque over Absolute Power, which road drivers rarely use.
