Automatic small car advice?
I'm planing to buy Jazz automatic 1.4 i-VTEC ES 2012 model. I'm looking for full automatic. The Jazz I saw has additional manual options under the steering weel. It is not present in newer 2014 models. Will this dual mode give trouble? Still is it CVT gear? I already having problem with toyota verso MMT automatic gear.

If it is a 2012 1.4 i-VTEC CVT-7 then the paddles are just to give you additional control over the CVT transmission and can effectively be used to improve economy. But if it's really a pre-2011 build but late registered 1.4 i-VTEC i-shift, then avoid it like the plague, because that was the Honda equivalent of Toyota's MMT automated manual.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
