There’s no blind spots - and it’s a total snap to park, like parking a roller skate. I love it. Drive mine with 1 leg, amputee above knee, no prosthetic. Love my Z!

Inspired by JDM ETC readers. Should I build a batch of these Jazdaboxes? Would you buy one?

Bit of advice, you should always clean off the old parts you are refitting you may have shortened the life a little by allowing all the dirt/rust to get on the damper which will in turn damage the internal seals.

Salut, où vous avez acheté le turbo svp, j'ai le même problème sur une 452, merci. ?

Great video, I’m seriously considering the jazz as my next car. But, how is the steering? My cars in the past have been ef and ek civics, both with hydraulic steering racks. My first introduction to electric rack was the ep2 civic, and my god the steering feel felt really bad, heavy and notchy, apparently this was a widespread issue. And not only the feel, but the turning radius was surprisingly bad. Good car otherwise, but the steering just ruined the driving experience. I did some quick googling, and it looks like the first gen jazz suffered the same steering rack issues and supposedly this was remedied on the second gen jazz with a stronger electric rack.

The front bumper so great. Whats the brand and where to get it bro

Get it on a dyno - I'll bet it's pushing more than 64bhp. I used to have a Cappucino - same engine I think. I imported Suzuki Works competition versions of the turbo, injectors, cam belt and ECU and an Arc intercooler. Visually the only difference was the Arc intercooler everything else looked stock but that car dynoed at just over 100bhp (I forget the torque figure). To say it was fast would be an understatement, it could keep up with Porsche Boxters between roundabouts and leave Mazda MX5's of the day in the dust on bendy roads - it's all about the power to weight ratio - it was a great little sleeper car :)

I still drive my 2006 Jazz - old lady now but I'm only the second owner. SUCH a reliable car.

The 1.3 in Australia came with 15inch 175,s the 1.5,s came with 16inch 185,s, I wonder why there are so many differences in basically same year same models from country to country? Would there be any advantage or disadvantage by putting 16 inch 185,s on a jazz that came with 15inch 175s?

Quick question I have a second Gen 1.3, what is the difference between the UK/Irish models? in Oz we only got 1.3 and 1.5 you guys seemed to also get 1.2 and 1.4. As well you don't have the factory Bluetooth on the drivers pillar our cars have? was that an option in UK/Ireland? Cheers

I bought a late model 2013 second gen 1.3 Vibe 3 weeks ago in Australia and its a great little car, only problem I have found is for me the foot rest is too close to the clutch pedal when depressed. I was looking for a 1.5 but most of them in the late second gen are auto and I wanted a manual, the 1.5 seems to be more common here. This vid and a few others put me onto the Jazz, coming out of a straight six Jeep TJ I was going to get a 4.0 L Barra ford but ended up with a 1.3 Jazz lol

GREAT video, thank you. 2 questions for you sir: 1 if you love it more than any other car, why are you selling it and what's replacing it? 2, I am 6'2" 180lbs. I am getting mixed feedback on whether or not I'll fit...would love to hear your thoughts. Might test drive one next week but it's a couple hours away so I'm not quite ready to commit.

Pitwork AY120-KE032 for the Air Filter; about 1200yen I had that HKS on one of mine; after it sitting around for 10yrs outside a car - the 'foam' just disintegrated

Which Line from the charge pressure control valve ist going top the wastgate ? Ist it the one withe the Red Paint in IT ?

Can you get away with a 3mm spacer or only a 5mm spacer?

Good review. I'm on my fifth Jazz, well Fit this time. I ended up buying a 1.3 fit for me and a 1.5RS for the Mrs, both CVT. The RS is not fast but the extra torque is great when you have four adults and a bunch of luggage on Honda. I bought imports cause I was fed up with how fast they rust in the UK winters, and wanted a low miles rust free older car for sensible money. Yes, they rust as bad at the mk1 in the UK, the worst area is around the petrol flap. The salt builds up around it hidden in the inner wing. I have no idea why Honda did not fit a plastic guard to stop it. Despite this I'm very happy with them.

I changed my rear shocks and now theres a rattle at the back of the car over uneven surfaces….everything is done up tight so i have no idea where the rattle is from…but its only started since changing the shocks…..anyone have any idea what might be causing it?

Lovely editing! How's the car been doing? Underside looks better than I expect (yes I'm thinking of getting one now)

Hello, I have a problem. I can't shift. The gear only shows N. What could be the problem?

Great video. Would you go for the jazz or the fit. Looking at something for my daughter,08/10 models. Also manual or auto?

as someone who is currently looking at both a beat and an alto works for a "play car" which one do you feel provides the best pure driving experience and joy?

Great video mate, you definitely deserve more interactions than you get currently!

I drive a mk 1 jazz sport. 200000km and still a brilliant little car. Engine is bomb proof if you just change the oil and filter every 10000kms. I've had the usual jazz swimming pool in the boot spare wheel space. It is cause by water getting in at the ends of roof strip and leaks down the inside of the rear pillars into the boot. Easy fix with some sealer. Lots of KZbin vids on the topic. Overall the car is in excellent condition and I can't see anything on the market that would be worth buying to replace it except possibly another jazz.

Do you still have the jazz?

Hi, Did the rear struts come with dust boot, bump stop and top mounts? Thanks

The Cappuccino wheels look great! Excited to see the future of this little car.

Really enjoying watching you do these mods - well done on the lifters + timing belt btw; that was a real "ice breaker" of a project to take on, no stopping you now. Hang on to the original wheels and bang a set of winter tyres on them if you decide to stick with the Cappu ones for day to day. When you eventually decide to sell, the look with the stock wheels will be worth more! Who is the local HKS supplier that you used?

The lightweight seats remind me of hte S2 Elise seats. Recaros are a great upgrade. Stock wheels are class, mostly because of their oddity, but the Cappucino wheels work great as an OEM+ replacement.

The wheels look very Well! , I’m happy their gonna be used from now on

I like the looks of the "new" rims over the original ones.

I have a question for all british out there. After Brexit is it possible for car brands that were shut down because of european legislation to make a comeback? Brands like Reliant and its 3 wheeler line-up?

Great job👍🏽

It`s a great little car! Got my `09 Jazz in 2020 and it is still such joy to ride every time I take it to a winding road. It`s no BMW or Audi, but you get a lot for your money. Had a couple of things to work on such as A\C and rear brake calipers, but otherwise no problems at all.

It really helps when you get into the computer and do a clutch relearn after doing this

you missed the SI T model on the GG6 chassis (118 sold in the UK, 1000 made worldwide) it has built in satnav with bluetooth and all the tech. it also has uprated suspension! i own one! it goes round corners on rails but only has the 1.4 ivetc motor which is weak. i intend to kswap it soon.

why you just dont clean it while you at it, those hard mud.

Thank you for putting up video of the bushing install. My wife & I just did the same job on our Beat and this was quite helpful! For anyone in a similar situation in the future, a 12mm crowfoot wrench makes it trivial to get at the bolts under the cables, and a good set of hex wrenches with a ball end really helps on install. The rest of the job is still a hassle (definitely tape off any holes you may want to drop the bushings down before installing), but time + finesse (+ swearing) will get you there!

I hate to say, but that sounds like rod knock to me. I hope I'm wrong. Best of luck.

What's your thougths on the newer suzuki alto works rs turbo?

just want to know which site did you buy them on for the set SHOCK ABSORBER please can you let me know thank you

I believe the RSR rear side trim panels have screw holes for the same size speakers - it doesn't seem to be referenced in the parts catalogs - only the parcel shelf units If you have power steering you don't get the adjustable steering wheel unfortunately

Class dude, mine arrives tomorrow, hopefully have it collected by the weekend.

Excellent review.. You give all the relevant information needed. Thank you.

Should i get a honda beat or a suzuki cappuccino?

Jazda, this is an excellent video. I'm a beat owner down south and this has been extremely informative. Thank you

My fit is 2008, GE9 JDM, 1.5 L with 5 speed automation, AWD with paddle shifters.

the steering wheel is on the wrong side🙄

That looks like a cargo bike which I belive you should have got more money twords

Very good friend, I have one too and the turbo died, where did you buy it? My engine is a 600cc 55hp.

I have a 2009 451 0.8 CDI "automatic" gearbox, and my issue is different from what I've seen around. Whenever I shift to D or R, it just drives while bouncing, stuttering, like the shift isn't really engaged. Sometimes it just stalls, and engine turns off. I'm thinking of opening the actuator to clean it and grease it anyways. Have you ever experienced this issue ?
