    For me, battery configuration was an important factor. When comparing BYD's 60 kwh battery to MG's 64 kwh battery, the BYD battery is LFP compared to CNM for MG's. This means BYD's battery is safer, more environmentally friendly, more durable, and can be charged to 100% over and over again. Had my Dolphin for 1 month now, and super happy with it.

    Honda UK & Honda Europe must make a formal statement & fully support existing owners of Mk4 Jazz and other models at risk of this manufacturing fault otherwise owners will not replace their cars with another Honda! DVLA must put pressure on Honda to do the honorable thing & recall cars as well as provide replacement cars if the fault occurs! Surely this is a legal requirement!

    Thanks for commenting James! In fairness, new builds will not be affected by this issue. And, otherwise, the Jazz is reliable as borne out by our 2 year test over 30,000 miles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pattxdanidKdfJc.htmlsi=U8AGvfTnKtIbTq1C. We do feel, however, that Honda's customer support and dealership experience is only adequate. Even though Honda is a great brand, employees we encountered at several dealerships showed no passion whatsoever. Shame, as, from a design standpoint, there are some interesting products in the pipeline. Thanks again!

    My 2019 Hybrid CR-V had a brake servo failure. Had to wait 5 weeks for replacement part ! Luckily I had an extra paid for warranty but still had a battle with Honda UK for a courtesy car that I was entitled to. Garage told me if I didn’t have the warranty it would be around 2k to repair.

    Thanks for watching! Sounds like a good result in the end. Yes, dealing with Honda UK is really battling with Assurant / The Warranty Group AKA TWG Services Ltd who handle the administration on behalf of Honda in the UK. We're happy you still had coverage, although it's not surprising about your courtesy car issue, as their goal is to "limit the damage" in terms of how much is paid out. The less of a hit they take, the more money they make. Unfortunately, when farmed out in this way, loyal customers of a particular brand - if treated badly - will take their business elsewhere. Just glad you got it sorted!

  • @carxtras

    Oleg, the Japanese recall announcement in December did indeed include the Vezel (the HR-V's name in Asia): www.honda.co.jp/recall/auto/info/231208_683.html. That's no surprise given that the HR-V is exactly the same under the bonnet as the Jazz. No European announcement has yet been made, however. If you're having issues with the HR-V (and this particular part) then you should refer Honda to the recall - which was instigated as it was a "manufacturing fault". We'll reach out to Honda Europe and ask if a European recall is on the horizon. Stay tuned!

    I’ve owned my CX60 Homura PHEV for 14 months/9,000 miles. Frankly, it has suffered from most of the issues mentioned in the video, but my Mazda dealer has been nothing but brilliant, promptly rectifying all. It has been off the road for five days in total, which I don’t think is exceptional for a new model. There is no doubt on release that the car’s engine management software and fault sensor systems were less refined than they should have been, but now it’s all fixed it is superb. The few mechanical issues couldn’t be tested until in mass production and Mazda soon fixed those. I love it more than my previous Mercedes 350E and Jaguar XJ, plus I saved £20,000 compared to comparative European models. I think there is merit in avoiding any new model for twelve months until ANY manufacturer has ironed out initial teething troubles. But I have no hesitation in recommending this car now Mazda has got its act together.

    I had this problem in early April this year with my Jazz hybrid. The car was bought new in Sep 2020 and had done just 9000 miles when the fault occurred. As the car was about 6 months beyond the 3 year warranty I got no help at all from Honda initially. I had to pay for a recovery vehicle to take the car to a local Honda dealer as it was not safe to drive. I was informed it would be some weeks before they could obtain a replacement part and I could expect to pay over £2K for parts and labour to fix it. The dealer contacted Honda UK on my behalf and they initially offered to pay 40% of the cost of the part as a goodwill gesture. I did sone research online and discovered that this fault was affecting dozens of other owners of this model and there had been a recall in Japan. I emailed the MD of Honda UK, pointing out that this fault was due to a manufacturing error. As a result Honda eventually agreed to pay for the whole cost of repair, parts and labour although I was still out of pocket having had to hire a car during the period of over 3 weeks that the car was off the road.

    Thank you for your detailed explanation! It seems Honda have come good in the end (albeit with you losing out on the car hire, unfortunately). But knowing how some manufacturers gaslight their customers in similar situations, I think this is a great result! As said, we really appreciate you adding this comment, as it seems a significant number of Jazz owners may find themselves in a similar situation in the near future. Otherwise, the Jazz Mk 4 is a very reliable car. Just a shame this part has issues and is extremely expensive to fix (not that customers should have to fork out for a manufacturing error). Hopefully a recall will be issued shortly.

    6,700 miles on my 90 Turbo S Premium Plus model. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. But unfortunately, it’s the best looking problem vehicle out there. It’s in the shop, AGAIN. This time they can identify the grinding noise coming from a smooth acceleration- either transmission or engine- but can’t seem to find the exact source of the problem - almost three weeks later and still no fix. Other problems I’ve had- driver side mirror wobbles at high speed, lift gate does not open all the way, back seat leather getting warped, both front doors rattling. Some of these were fixed, some have yet to be. The problem is: there’s no suitable replacement out there as far as other vehicle options- if you’re considering safety- the Lexus TX, Toyota Grand Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Infinity QX60- all fall miserably short in their crash tests. MB, Volvo CX 90, Audi Q7, Lincoln Aviator, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chevy Traverse, don’t have the reliability that Mazda is supposed to have. Hyundai Palisade and Telluride are everywhere so if you want to have the same car everyone else does then those are good choices and the Acura MDX does not offer vents in the third row seating. Except maybe mediocre foot vents that will do nothing for you in the dead of summer when you’re back there sweating. To top it off, Mazda thanked the first buyers of the CX90 by dropping the price by over $4,000! If you purchased yours in 2023 or early 2024, it is now $4,000 cheaper for the same CX90!?! Which will translate into more money lost when it comes to the resale value of it. Mazda customer care has offered (one car payment, or any accessory, or a $500 gift card) to make it right) I like to think I’m good at math but all of these combined don’t even add up to half the money lost over night from the manufacturer. From an aesthetic standpoint, Mazda got it right. From a reliability standpoint, they missed the mark on this one but will probably get it right, from taking care of their loyal customers who were the first to buy the 90, they’ve lost a lot of people who were loyal to the brand.

    Very informative. As a Mazda CX60 in-line six petrol owner in Australia it’s very disappointing. I feel people signing to buy these off the plan were used as Beta testers. Also I was never offered a test drive. I was told I didn’t have to accept it if I didn’t like it but when it arrived I was not offered any choice but to take it.I have had the safety recall for steering and software update that has remarkably improved the transmission. Still awaiting the rear suspension replacement but it’s been a few months now. I feel there should be a safety recall on the active cruise control. It’s potentially lethal. When passing a vehicle in the right hand land (we drive on the LHS here) on a highway at 110 km/hr (that’s metric folks) if using the cruise control the car will often falsely sense there is a vehicle in front of the car when it is on the left and start to immediately slow the car down. If there’s a vehicle behind you and you don’t act to resume speed fast you can be at risk of collision. Please Mazda fix.
