Does the Mk1 Honda Jazz have a CVT gearbox?
I'm thinking of buying a 2008 Honda Jazz. Can you tell me if it has a CVT gearbox?

A 2008 Mk 1 Jazz automatic would be CVT. A 2009 Mk II Jazz automatic would be i-shift.

When did Honda return to CVT transmissions in respect to the Honda Jazz from the I-shift? Also how reliable is the new CVT auto against the Mk1 version?
