2020 Honda Jazz RS 6MT Review

[@jono8326]

Good to see a kiwi fella doing reviews on YT!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah man!

[@BlitzkriegBev]

I test drove one this year. Was an absolute blast, super surprised 😊

[@KiwiCarLife]

They’re good eh

[@AdamLeask]

I didn't realise you could even get the Jazz with a manual. Makes it much more appealing. The issue is that all the new car buyers for this in NZ will opt for the auto as they're in that particular "age" group and Honda will be lucky to move a handful of these.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah definitely the CVT auto outsells the manual about 10 to 1

[@wax333]

@@KiwiCarLife its an older peoples car. they should have adjusted the steering feel for the RS

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@wax333 yeah can agree the steering is too light to give any feeling. If I got one I'd probably just remove the power steering lol. It's a light car.

[@Matthew-hq8rb]

Love Honda's! Glad they're still making a manual option... Would love a new Civic Type R those things are real fast, don't quite have the money for one yet though lol.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah they're insanely fast, especially for fwd

[@rodcoates7941]

NZ is lucky to get the RS. In Aus we only get the vti in manual with steel wheels and the older 88kw 1.5

[@KiwiCarLife]

Oh really? I had no idea - sounds like you've got the Thailand build ones, whereas we get the Japanese ones

[@oscarkabowski8413]

Wtf why was this not sold in Australia? We got the 1.5 in a manual across the board but never this 97kw monster.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Hah dunno about monster but yeah you guys got the Thai built ones with the old 88kW motor. We got the japanese built ones with the 97kW double cam DI engine instead

[@JakeVS2011]

130hp for hatch that good power to weight ratio

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it goes well

[@frankcameratalk]

I run my Jazz manual RS on 98 fuel and with that extra power, you will not turn back.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nice, however it's rated to run on 91. It will make a negligible amount more power on 98, so it's probably the placebo effect taking place. I'd save my money personally... great car though!

[@turbosloth2]

3.30 odd bucks now

[@LachieMC]

You going to make some gaming videos because of the virus 🦠

[@KiwiCarLife]

Fortunately I have quite a few videos pre-recorded so we should be alright for the next few weeks. If the quarantine carries on then maybe
