New Fit or Jazz 2006?

[Cursor]

Hi,

I just receive from my e-mail from Honda that there is a new Fit 2006 release in spring (which should be now, i think) But I can't see the difference it had between the current one. Anyone got any ideas?

The new 2006 fit shipment is on the way into Singapore.

 

The only different I know are

1. 3 new colours

2. Front grille

3. 1.5A model with manual transmission.

 

Cheers...

what is the pricing for the new models?

[Cursor]

So for Jazz it is still 1.4?

[Garson]

Jazz 1.4 actual cc is 1339 same as Fit 1.3.

 

But Fit horsepower is higher by 2bhp.

Fit = 86bhp

Jazz = 84bhp

 

Cheers...

Haa haa at this price I might as well get the 1.5 version of Fit. almost same price as Jazz I think.

So when will the shipment be in?

It is actualy based on indent basis for Honda Fit 1.5.

 

Delivery is abt 2-3months

That "new" Fit has been in SG for ages. Its only this year that they are selling it North america, hence the "new" terminology.

 

Anyway, jap car sites are already predicting an all new Fit later this year, as in not just a facelift of current Fit/Jazz. Hopefully its true

Hmmm, isn't this the sports version? When is it coming it? Any idea anyone?

[Cursor]

Yes you are right, Checked with KM.

Compare to the 2005 Jazz, The 2006 version has many additional equipment, it is actually very similar to the S version of the Fit - factory fitted sports bumpers, side skirts, etc, etc.

But still KM only bring in the 1.4 version, for 1.5 version you still have to look for the PI for Fit.

Hi All,

 

Have just ordered for the Jazz06 and should be getting my ride around early March.

Congrats. IMO, it's 1 of the nicest looking hatches around with lots of aftermarket parts

[Fatman]

So if you don't mind... how much was it? And what actually is the difference in eqipments?

 

And any freebies thrown in? What colour did you choose? And what are the new colours?

 

Thanx.

Hi Bro Fatman,

 

I got my ride at 63K but was given a rebate for the COE of around $1400. Mine is the 10K COE.

 

From what I know, I will be given the Body kits, Spoiler, Sports rim, Reverse sensor, Retractable side mirrors, 1.5K off my insurance and also tinting of my windows(Not too sure which brand). I think the bodykit that is given is the Modulo S type.

I tried to ask for the fog lights from my SE but was told that because the jazz06 is new and the Fog lights might not be available yet. Will have to wait for my ride to arrive first. Will also be trying to get window visor from them but have to share it with my SE(50-50). The colour that I choose is NightHawk black. Not too sure what are the new colours available. I believe much more info can be found on the fit-jazz forum.

 

Regards,

Melvin

Wow good price man...$61,600 and loaded with accessories!!!! But I think the SE surely can give the original Jazz visors. It should only cost $90 - $120 the most. Bit of ADVICE ... Hope you don't take the cheapo aftermarket kind that I got. Get the one from KM. Look better. The MUGEN visors cost $180... better save the moolah for something else.

 

And do get the foglights from the SE... it does'nt cost that much le. Black is cool...good choice.

 

Thanx for the response and hope you'll enjoy your ride.

 

[Fatman]

Too late dah... I bought my red Jazz last Oct at $61,500.

 

Now looking at current prices, I could have gotten the Mazda 2 sp, with more power and better equipments.

 

Or the Limited Edition Suzuki Swift, with the sexy spoiler and full body kits.
