Honda E Advance | A REAL OWNERS Review - 36,000miles Later...

[@TechJamo]

Okay so Since I've done this Video, the Honda e Community have come at me with some Wicked Findings!! + There is a touch sensitive strip on top of the front door handles which locks the car without you having to use the remote locking function on the keys. + There is a small button on the right of the boot door release which also allows you to lock the car after closing the boot - it's located to the right hand side. + If you Unlock the car and then press and hold the unclock button further, the car will start winding down all four windows. + If you lock the car and then press and hold the lock button further, the car will start winding up the windows to seal em' shut. Thanks to they guys on the Facebook Groups that pointed this out to me !! hahah If you have anymore tips for me, feel free to comment so that I can add them to this pinned comment!

yo tech jamo this car looks gorgeous I remember your custom, numberplate when you reviewed it in one of your videos before. 😀💯

[@TechJamo]

@@RetroLodge Hahah Yeah Dude! Thanksssss

[@RetroLodge]

@@TechJamo Anytime man 😎

[@nordemoniac]

If it’s a touch lock button on the handle, can you touch and hold to close the open windows as well?

[@Handrack]

I want to say it has an option buried in the settings to turn on auto lock on walk away. I had to find that in my 2018 Honda Clarity settings in the menu and turn it on, and I NEVER touch my key fob because of it, great amazing lazy feature lol. I want to say it should be the same software. What I do wish my Honda Clarity had was that auto turn on feature when you get in. That is pure awesomeness.

[@DariuszTech]

My favourite owner review. Honest and also entertaining 😜 Thanks 👍🙏

[@johnson3231]

Nice review!! I’ve fallen in love with this car recently, I think it’s so cool. I’m happy that this was the video I came across.

[@TechJamo]

Glad you liked it!

[@dannycph]

Thank you for the 2 year update Jamo 😊👍

[@wolverinescratch]

Thanks brother we should be keeping up with E cars now, the vehicle world is changing

[@TechJamo]

Yeah These cars are Tryna Take Over !!

[@iwanderaround8764]

Can’t believe I watched this video the other day and saw you in mellows Birmingham today 😂

[@richard_horne]

Jamo I love your car's wallpaper and that's probably the first thing I'll be setting up when I get mine next week :D

[@TechJamo]

Hahhaa

[@Daniel1987H]

The door opens with the first pull. Just with every other handle you have to touch it first to unlock. In this case from below.

[@thejake8099]

Thanks for the update. How was/is the reliability? Any out of pocket for electrical repairs? Ball joints ? Suspension issues? Does the charging cable lock to the car and charger or can someone just walk by and disconnect your car from the charger causing mischief? How expensive are tires? Any squeeks or rattles now that you've made 36k miles?

[@TechJamo]

Only repair I forgot to mention cost me £60 and that was because one of my rear seat passengers managed to step on a USB socket whilst it was inserted in the Rear USB HUB. The fix was literally 5 mins, but I had to wait for the part to arrive. They literally took out the old broken USB hub and slid another USB hub in lol. No one can disconnect the charger from your car, however, most chargers have an emergency stop function in case of fire! Someone could potentially walk up to your charger and stop it i guess. At least the car would notify you as soon as it has stopped charging though! The first time I got tyres, I went to buy some branded versions which cost me north of £110 per tyre. This time I just went to a casual on street tyre shop who said they will charge me £65 for some brand new 'economy' tyres. The £110 tyres have done 24k miles so far, so lets see how much the front 'economy' tyres will do. No dodgy noises so far though!! The new tyres I put on are a bit squeeky if I turn whilst stationary, but thats about it ahaha...

[@dalehurles2083]

Do you have any links or info on the phone holder used in the Zoe? Never seen one connected to the door like that!

[@tata1343]

Could you please mention what was in the trunk? (Triangle, compressor, wheel sealing liquid?)

[@TechJamo]

Just a compressor and a wheel locking nut

[@learnprogress6618]

A great review , I loved the fishes 🐟 🐡 🐠 on the monitors, 😂

[@NewsMoto]

Hello, any long long term review with loading stuff and large items? And how’s the seating of passengers at the back? Thanks! Love tour review!

[@craigrogers9799]

Yeah, that fish was looking at me funny too! Thanks for removing. 😂

[@TechJamo]

Haha gotta be done!

[@EDHARMY]

Madness of a car! Interesting stuff! Keep at it :D

[@TechJamo]

HAhaha Thanks for Watching !!

[@EDHARMY]

​@@TechJamo ​Anytime my pleasure mate, can see the effort and its fire! Keep at it looking forward to future content ever want a hand editing always happy to help :)

[@kevinadapen1691]

Hey Jamo, great vid in 2024. As ive learned that theyre stopping sales of the honda e, and theyre coming down in price. Would you recommend me getting one? I like the thing but range in winter does worty me a bit. And does the news of it coming to end affect your future services, warranty, parts updates etc? Have they said anything about this? Thanks

[@bessenich]

Could you please send me the picture of your Honda E infotainment system?

[@Steinninn]

Nice video. I've had the E Standard for about 2 months. The 360 camera does not come with the Standard. Also, you need to learn how to open the car properly. There is a sensor inside the door handle, when you touch it it will unlock. For locking you need to press the three lines that are on the door handle. If it doesn't work then you can bring it to Honda for a warranty repair.

[@TechJamo]

Awhhh Thanks Dude! I literally find this out the day of uploading the video hahah!! I've put it as a tip in the top comment :D

[@bigaa753]

Hold the unlock button for a bit it opens all windows

[@TechJamo]

Thanks Mate! I honestly can't believe im just finding this out 2 years into having the car LOOOOOOOL

[@bigaa753]

@@TechJamo I have a Honda civic FK8 R type that has the same functionality, it also opens the sunroof which is annoying, i think its a Honda thing.

[@TechJamo]

@@bigaa753 ahhh well at least the sunroof is manual in this car lol - it does a good job of blocking out the heat too

[@PicmipPixel]

Thinking about buying a used one, with 16,000 kms for 21,000 Eur, what do you think would be the thing to check before buying it?

[@w-j7210]

The prices has dropped so I will go for one despite I cannot charge at home cheap. We do 95% city driving.

[@nordemoniac]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any non-American cars will auto lock when you leave. I think that’s a good thing for safety. I also believe f.ex Mercedes still doesn’t auto-adjust your seats between keys, you’ll have to hold a button until it’s done. Also with safety in mind.

[@TechJamo]

Yeah my partners Renault Zoe autonlocks itself and its much cheaper

[@w-j7210]

​@TechJamo which one do you recommend? ZOE or the E. I can buy a 2020 Honda E advance with 45000km for €15k. I live in Sweden with cold winters around-15 to -20 degrees Celsius. Thanks for a great review.

[@jonholm3557]

Honda should've invested in the auto window feature with the key fob instead of the paddle shifters on a car with one gear.

[@Howster69]

Check page 196 of the online owners manual.

[@TechJamo]

Ooooh I'll have a look!

[@deerazor8280]

'Steering wheel stick' is collectively called a 'Stalk'.

[@TechJamo]

Ah! That's it lol

[@garden-Railway]

Mine seems to drop faster from 10mile range! Please do a test to see how far it will go on Zero!

[@TechJamo]

Hahah Yeahh I want to do this actually, I'm trying to find a place which isn't dangerous to run out of battery. I'm thinking maybe a night time drive with my partner behind me and hazard lights on - If I can find an A road or Motorway which is well lit without road works and with a safe hard shoulder to stop in.

[@garden-Railway]

@@TechJamo get someone with a Honda E to charge yours from the 230v socket ! Would that work?😀

[@TechJamo]

@@garden-Railway haha yeah it would! But it would be a loooooooong DAY LOL

[@nicholasdrivingacademy9435]

I quite like this ev it’s bit futuristic I love few gadgets gimmicks. Can’t see point of an ev no tech. What’s it like having no mirrors at all? Does it self park etc? I’m hoping for day most smaller ev’s can match the Tesla’s range performance!

[@garden-Railway]

You still got the Honda E?

[@TechJamo]

Yeaaaaaah boi! Is it time for an update?

[@NickvanVliet]

Another review would be great

[@RetroLodge]

first comment honda seems to be a good reliable company. 😎

[@TechJamo]

Yeaaaaah They're pretty solid !

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Complete flop , production closed (easy to understand)another EV LEMON , cost honda about 200,000 pounds a car after selling WORLD wide a pathetic amount of 12000 units in just over 3 years. Body design done by a budding 5yr old . If you have sold yours and if you didn't lease it has lost £ wise 80% since new 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@TechJamo]

It's actually heart breaking. I think they could have done well if they upgraded the next model.

[@hondaeownerreviews8608]

Tyres wear so quickly on this car and General and Hankook who have the best EV tyres don't make Honda e sizes. My front tyres are on 2nd set already and those are also busted. Not as bad as yours though🤣 Very upsetting because the rest of the tyres are in a 5mm depth and the sides are smooth. What a waste of tyres

[@TechJamo]

Lol I have to admit, my heavy footing is deffo to blame lol

[@fab9727]

a comment for the algorithm

[@TechJamo]

Loooool thanks!

[@donpayne1040]

yeh man.

[@garden-Railway]

36000 that’s at least 360 charges

[@TechJamo]

Looool Yup!! Quite a few battery cycles !!

[@dantebg100]

This car is a .... E-waste. The door handles are stupid. The mirrors are stupid And the driving range is stupid

[@bonovidal2867]

Great video...keep it up 💎💪🏼🍀👋🏻

[@TechJamo]

Thanks so much!!

[@RichardBuckMovies]

Mate - get that tyre sorted! £2,500 fine (PER TYRE!) and 3 points on your licence if you get stopped! Great video though! 🫡

[@TechJamo]

Trust me! Already sorted bro haha! I'm ashamed I let it get that bad! 😭😭

[@darknessislight3689]

Love the car 🤍🖤🤍🖤 I would definitely buy one if I could 🇺🇸 fantastic review

[@TechJamo]

Thanks! 👍
