Honest Honda Jazz PMS Schedule & Cost Guide - Apex Engine
The Honda Jazz is discontinued but far from dead. Apex Engine covers the 10K PMS interval, the CVT fluid rule, all three PH recalls and used prices. Read on.
Honda stopped selling the Jazz in the Philippines in April 2021. Which is exactly why it’s worth writing about now.
Because the Jazz didn’t leave for the usual reasons. It wasn’t unreliable, it wasn’t recalled into oblivion, and it wasn’t unpopular — it sold more than 25,000 units across three generations in about 17 years. It left because Honda brought in the City Hatchback and didn’t want two of its own hatchbacks fighting over the same buyer.
So the Jazz is now purely a used-market car — and that changes the question. Hindi na “magkano ang downpayment.” Ang tanong ngayon ay: magkano ba talaga itong i-maintain, at ano ang dapat i-check bago bumili? Here’s the honest breakdown — the PMS schedule, the one rule that decides whether the gearbox lives or dies, all three Philippine recalls, and what the market is actually asking in 2026.
Key Takeaways
- PMS every 10,000 km or 6 months — Honda PH’s brand-wide cadence. Dalawang casa visit lang kada taon, not four like Toyota and Mitsubishi owners.
- Light PMS roughly ₱4,500–7,000; heavy PMS at 40K/80K roughly ₱9,000–15,000. (Estimates, August 2026 — Honda PH never published a Jazz-specific price sheet, and their PM Cost Calculator is currently offline.)
- Timing chain, all generations. No scheduled belt replacement — one of the quiet cost advantages of owning this car.
- The CVT fluid is the whole ballgame. Honda’s own manual specifies HCF-2 and says damage from other fluids isn’t covered by warranty.
- All three PH generations have a recall — two Takata airbag campaigns and one fuel pump. Free, but you must check the VIN.
- ULTR seats + centre fuel tank = cargo space no rival in this price class can match.
- Used market, roughly ₱315,000–₱750,000 across generations, and supply is thin.
Which Model Years Does This Guide Cover? (2004–2021, all three PH generations)
This guide covers every Honda Jazz officially sold in the Philippines, because on the used market you’ll meet all of them. Worth knowing which one you’re looking at — they are genuinely different cars mechanically, especially in the gearbox.
| Generation | PH years | Engines | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st gen (GD) | 2004–2008 | 1.3L i-DSI (82 PS / 116 Nm); 1.5L VTEC (110 PS) from 2005 | 5-speed manual, or CVT with 7 stepped ratios |
| 2nd gen (GE) | 2008–2014 | 1.3L i-VTEC (99 PS / 127 Nm); 1.5L i-VTEC (120 PS / 145 Nm) | 5-speed manual, or conventional 5-speed automatic (paddle shifters on the 1.5) |
| 3rd gen (GK) | 2014–2021 | 1.5L L15Z1 i-VTEC only (120 PS / 145 Nm) | 5-speed manual, or CVT with 7 stepped ratios |
| 4th gen (GR, e:HEV hybrid) | never sold in PH | — | — |
Three things to take from that table:
- The Philippine 3rd-gen was 1.5-litre only. No 1.3 GK was ever sold here, so any “Jazz 1.3” you see is a 2014-or-earlier car.
- The 2nd gen is the odd one out — it isn’t a CVT. It uses a conventional torque-converter automatic. Different fluid, different service item, different failure profile. Don’t apply CVT advice to it.
- The 4th-gen hybrid never came here. If you search “Honda Jazz” today, most of the internet is describing the e:HEV car sold in Europe and Japan. That’s not the car in your driveway, and its service data doesn’t apply.
Two facelifts matter. The GK Jazz got a cosmetic refresh in July 2017 — new grille and bumpers, a 7-inch touchscreen with navigation, power-folding mirrors, and a new RS Navi range-topper. Nothing under the bonnet changed, so the schedule and costs in this guide hold across 2014–2021 units alike.
What the Discontinuation Actually Means for Owners
Honda Cars Philippines announced it on April 9, 2021. The statement from HCPI president Masahiko Nakamura was straightforward: after studying “the necessity of the models in our current model lineup,” they announced “the discontinuation of Jazz and all its variants, in order for us to shift our focus and resources to our current and upcoming models.” The Jazz would stay in dealerships “until supplies last.”
The final lineup at the end — the manual was already gone by then:
| Final variant | Price (2021) | What set it apart |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 V CVT | ₱918,000 | Dual front airbags, 7” touchscreen, manual A/C, 15” wheels, no VSA |
| 1.5 VX Navi CVT | ₱1,000,000 | Adds VSA, hill start assist, reverse camera, navigation, auto A/C, smart entry |
| 1.5 RS Navi CVT | ₱1,090,000 | Six airbags (side + curtain), LED headlights, cruise control, gloss-black 16” wheels, RS body kit |
That airbag split is the single most important line in the table if you’re shopping used, and it’s the one thing spec aggregators get wrong most often. Some listing sites show “6 airbags” on the model page because that’s the top variant’s count. On the actual cars, only the RS got side and curtain airbags — the V and VX are dual-front. Check the specific unit, not the model page.
Here’s the honest part about long-term support: Honda PH’s discontinuation announcement said nothing about how long parts and service would be supported. We looked. There’s no published commitment either way. What we can confirm is that Honda genuine parts are still orderable through dealerships nationwide and through Honda’s online parts store, and that the Jazz’s mechanical twin — the Honda City of the same era — shares the L15 engine family and the same HCF-2 transmission fluid. That’s the real reason parts anxiety is overblown here: the Jazz’s consumables aren’t orphan parts. They’re City parts.
Honda Jazz Quick Specs (3rd gen, GK — 2014–2021)
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5L (1,497cc) L15Z1 SOHC 16-valve i-VTEC, 4-cylinder |
| Power | 120 PS (118 hp) @ 6,600 rpm / 145 Nm @ 4,800 rpm |
| Transmission | 5-speed manual (base V, dropped before the end) or CVT with 7 stepped ratios |
| CVT fluid | Honda HCF-2 — genuine only |
| Timing | Chain (no scheduled replacement) |
| Oil | 0W-20; capacity around 3.5–3.7 L with filter (sources conflict — confirm in your manual) |
| PMS interval | Every 10,000 km or 6 months |
| Dimensions | 3,989 × 1,694 × 1,524 mm; wheelbase 2,530 mm |
| Ground clearance | 150 mm |
| Kerb weight | ~1,062 kg |
| Cargo volume | 384 L (seats up) |
| Fuel tank | 40 L |
| Suspension | MacPherson strut front, torsion beam rear |
| Brakes | Ventilated discs front, drums rear |
| Emissions | Euro 4 |
For context on what those numbers mean in traffic: a road test of the 2018 VX Navi recorded 9.0–10.0 km/L in city driving and 17.0–17.5 km/L on the highway, with up to 18.5 km/L in ideal highway conditions. That’s genuinely good for a naturally aspirated 1.5 — and it’s a big part of why the Jazz holds value.
Honda Jazz Maintenance Schedule (PMS Interval Chart)
Honda PH runs a 10,000 km / 6-month cycle. Here’s how a Jazz’s service life actually stacks up:
| Interval | What typically happens |
|---|---|
| 1,000 km | First PMS — inspection, initial oil change, bolt torque check. Usually free labour. |
| 10,000 km | Light PMS — engine oil + filter, general inspection, tyre rotation, fluid level top-ups |
| 20,000 km | Light PMS + air cleaner element inspection or replacement |
| 30,000 km | Light PMS + cabin air filter typically replaced |
| 40,000 km | Heavy (major) PMS — brake fluid, coolant, air and fuel filters, spark plugs, CVT fluid |
| 50,000–70,000 km | Back to the light cycle, with brake pads and belts inspected as wear items |
| 80,000 km | Second heavy PMS — the 40,000 km list again, plus a closer look at suspension bushings and mounts |
| 100,000 km+ | No timing belt to worry about. Watch the water pump, engine mounts, and suspension components. |
One important caveat: this chart reflects the standard Honda PH maintenance pattern for its 10,000 km models, not a Jazz-specific document. Honda PH’s PM Cost Calculator — the tool that used to give exact model-by-model figures — is offline as of August 2026 (“temporarily unavailable due to maintenance,” per their own page), and no Jazz-specific per-interval sheet was ever published. Kung meron kang orihinal na owner’s manual, ‘yan pa rin ang pinakatotoong basehan. If you don’t, ask a dealer to pull the schedule against your VIN.
Honda Jazz PMS Cost by Interval
| PMS stage | Interval | Estimated casa cost |
|---|---|---|
| First PMS | 1,000 km | ₱1,500–3,000 (labour often free) |
| Light / standard PMS | 10,000–30,000 km | ₱4,500–7,000 |
| Heavy / major PMS | 40,000 and 80,000 km | ₱9,000–15,000 |
These are estimates, August 2026 — treat them as a sanity check on a quote, not a price list. Two reasons to be blunt about that: Honda PH doesn’t publish per-interval pesos for the Jazz, and the model has been out of production for five years, so any figure floating around online is aging. If a quote comes in far above this range, ask for the line items. For how a casa bill is actually built up, see our rundown of what each service stage covers and what it should cost.
The structural advantage is real, though, and it survives the estimate hedging: at 10,000 km intervals you pay for two services a year instead of four. A Vios owner doing 20,000 km annually visits the casa four times; a Jazz owner visits twice. Even if Honda’s per-visit cost is a bit higher than Toyota’s, the annual total usually lands in the Jazz’s favour.
Magkano damage boss?
Most brands in the Philippines publish no official price list — which is why almost every figure you read is an estimate, ours included. If you've had your Honda Jazz serviced, share what it actually cost. Anonymous, takes 10 seconds.
Light PMS vs. Heavy PMS on the Jazz
Most Jazz visits are light PMS — engine oil and filter, a general inspection, tyre rotation, fluid top-ups. Mabilis, mura, walang drama.
The heavy (major) PMS at 40,000 km and 80,000 km is where the bill grows, because that’s when the fluids and filters all come due at once: brake fluid, coolant, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs — and the CVT fluid.
Hindi porket mura ang light PMS, mura na rin ang heavy. The gap between a ₱5,000 light service and a ₱13,000 heavy one surprises people, and the temptation is to defer it. That’s the wrong item to defer on this car, because of the next section.
Honda Jazz: Timing Belt or Chain?
Chain. Every Honda L-series engine used in the Philippine Jazz — the 1.3 i-DSI, the 1.3 i-VTEC, the 1.5 i-VTEC, and the GK’s L15Z1 — is timing-chain driven.
Practically, that means there is no scheduled timing-belt replacement on any Jazz. You never face the ₱15,000–25,000 one-time hit that belt-driven engines bring around the 100,000 km mark. For a used car in this price bracket, that’s a meaningful chunk of the ownership case.
Chain isn’t the same as forever, though. The chain runs on a tensioner and guides, and those wear. If you hear a rattle from the front of the engine on a cold start — especially one that fades after a few seconds — have it looked at. Huwag hayaan. On a chain-driven engine that noise is the cheapest warning you’ll ever get.
The CVT Fluid Rule (And Why It’s Non-Negotiable)
If you remember one thing from this guide: the Jazz’s CVT takes Honda HCF-2 fluid, and nothing else.
This isn’t forum folklore. Honda’s own owner’s manual for the GK-generation Jazz says the fluid is Honda HCF-2, that it must not be mixed with other transmission fluids, that using a non-equivalent fluid “may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle’s transmission,” and that damage caused by using a fluid that isn’t equivalent to HCF-2 is not covered by warranty.
Why it matters so much: a CVT transmits power through a steel belt clamped between variable pulleys. The fluid isn’t just a lubricant — it’s a friction medium doing structural work. Wrong fluid, wrong friction. Kill the fluid and you kill the gearbox, and a CVT replacement costs more than several years of diligent PMS combined.
On the interval, we’ll be honest: we could not find a Honda PH document stating a specific Jazz CVT-fluid change interval in kilometres. In practice it’s serviced as part of the heavy PMS at 40,000 km, and that’s the safe assumption for PH conditions — traffic-heavy, low-speed, high-temperature driving is exactly the duty cycle that ages CVT fluid fastest. Ask your dealer or a Honda-literate talyer to confirm against your specific unit’s manual rather than trusting a number off a forum.
And again, the generation trap: if your Jazz is a 2008–2014 GE, it does not have a CVT at all. It’s a conventional 5-speed torque-converter automatic that takes ATF, not HCF-2. Don’t let a shop pour CVT fluid into it, and don’t let them tell you it needs a CVT service.
Known Issues on the Honda Jazz
The Jazz’s reliability reputation is good, and the Philippine owner sample backs that up — though it’s a small sample. On Zigwheels PH, the Jazz sits at 4.17 out of 5 across 24 owner reviews (23 satisfied, one neutral), with praise clustering on cabin space, city driveability, and how smooth the engine feels. Twenty-four reviews isn’t a large dataset, so we’re treating it as directional, not definitive.
What genuinely recurs:
- CVT shudder, jerking or hesitation. The most-reported Jazz complaint globally, and it tracks overwhelmingly to overdue or incorrect fluid rather than defective hardware. Fluid discipline prevents most of it. A mild “rubber-band” sensation under sudden acceleration, on the other hand, is normal CVT character — not a fault.
- Road and wind noise at speed. Documented and consistent. It’s a light, small car with modest sound deadening; above about 100 km/h you hear the road. Segment-typical, not a defect.
- Low ground clearance (150 mm). The Jazz sits low. Steep humps, ramps and flooded roads will find the pang-ilalim. Dahan-dahan sa mga hump at lalo na sa baha — this is the number-one way Jazz owners create their own repair bills.
- Rear drum brakes. Cheap to service and perfectly adequate for the car’s weight, but they need occasional cleaning and adjustment; owners who never touch them get dragging and uneven wear.
- Suspension wear on rough roads. Shocks, struts, bushings and links wear faster here than the manual implies. Listen for
lagutokandkalogover humps — and remember the older the unit, the more of this you’re inheriting. - A/C cooling on older units. Reported on higher-mileage first- and second-generation cars in overseas owner surveys. We found no PH-specific pattern, so we’re flagging it as an inspection item on old units, not a known Jazz defect.
What we deliberately did not put on this list: any claim of a systemic engine defect, and any claim of a PH-specific CVT failure pattern. Neither is supported. The L15 is a well-regarded engine, and the recurring gearbox complaints are maintenance-driven. Where the real, documented, dated problems live is the next section — and they’re all fixable for free.
Every Generation Has a Recall — Check Your VIN
This is the most useful thing a used Jazz buyer can read, and it’s genuinely unusual: all three Philippine Jazz generations were touched by a recall. All three campaigns are free of charge.
| Campaign | Announced | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Takata front airbag inflator | April 11, 2013 | Covered the first-generation Fit/Jazz (2002 model) alongside 2003 City, Civic and Accord |
| Takata passenger front inflator | February 20, 2018 | 10,461 units of 2013-model City, Jazz and Pilot sold in PH from 2012 to 2015 — the inflator could rupture under excessive internal pressure. Repair takes about an hour. |
| Fuel pump (defective impeller) | Servicing from July 2020 | 10,136 units of 2018–2019 Accord, BR-V, Mobilio, City, Civic, Jazz, HR-V and CR-V — the pump could fail to start the car or stop working while driving. Free parts and labour, up to 1.5 hours, at 34 dealerships nationwide. |
Two practical notes. First, an open recall on a used car is not a reason to walk away — it’s free work and, if anything, leverage in a negotiation. What should worry you is a seller who doesn’t know or won’t say. Second, Honda PH lets you check eligibility by entering your 17-digit VIN on their recall page. Do that before you hand over money, not after. Airbag inflators are the one recall category where “I’ll get to it” is genuinely dangerous.
Casa vs. Talyer & Parts on a Discontinued Model
With the Jazz out of production since 2021, almost every unit on the road is out of warranty. That changes the calculus: the warranty-protection argument for staying at the casa mostly no longer applies.
Where we’d still send a Jazz to the casa or a Honda specialist:
- Anything CVT. Fluid service, diagnosis, valve-body work. The fluid spec is strict and the failure is expensive.
- Recall and campaign work. Free, but casa-only.
- Airbag/SRS work. Never a general-talyer job.
Where a good independent shop is the better value: general PMS, brakes, suspension, aircon, tyres, and bushing work — the labour-heavy jobs where the casa’s rate does the damage. We went deep on exactly where that price gap comes from in our job-by-job guide to choosing between the dealer and an independent shop.
On parts: Honda genuine parts remain orderable through dealerships nationwide and Honda’s online parts store, and the shared-platform reality helps enormously — the Jazz’s engine family and transmission fluid are shared with the Honda City of the same era, so consumables aren’t hard to find. Expect the occasional wait on body panels, trim and model-specific items. Honda parts pricing sits a little above Toyota’s, pero kaunti lang — see our Honda City ownership-cost rundown for how the same brand’s pricing behaves on a model that’s still in production. If your budget lands below used-Jazz money and you’d rather buy new, the Brio’s running costs sit a class below on the same 10,000 km schedule.
Buying a Used Honda Jazz in 2026
Based on listings in July–August 2026, the whole Philippine Jazz market spans roughly ₱315,000 to ₱750,000 — older GD and GE units at the bottom, clean low-mileage GK5s at the top. A 2015 1.5 V CVT with 35,000 km was listed at ₱690,000; higher-spec VX units have appeared around ₱750,000.
Supply is thin. One major aggregator showed just 21 Jazz units listed nationwide. Those are asking prices, not transaction data, and on a five-year-discontinued car the spread between a well-kept unit and a neglected one is wider than the model year suggests.
What to check, in priority order:
- VIN against Honda PH’s recall page. Non-negotiable. Free to do, free to fix.
- Which gearbox. GK5 and GD = CVT. GE (2008–2014) = conventional 5-speed automatic. This determines your entire service plan.
- Test the transmission cold, from a standstill. Shudder, hesitation or delayed engagement on take-off is your signal. Then ask when the fluid was last changed and with what. “Basta CVT fluid” is a wrong answer — the correct answer is HCF-2.
- Cold-start listen. Rattle from the front of the engine = chain tensioner or guides. Budget for it or walk.
- Airbag count on the actual unit. Only the RS Navi has six. Don’t pay RS money for a VX.
- Underbody. At 150 mm, a Jazz that lived with an impatient driver will show scrapes on the front lip and floor pan. Check for flood history while you’re down there.
- Service records. On a discontinued model this matters more than usual, and it doesn’t need to be casa records — a disciplined talyer paper trail with receipts and parts boxes is worth real money.
Verdict: The Small Car That Earned Its Reputation
The Jazz is the rare hatchback whose best feature isn’t on the spec sheet. Honda put the fuel tank under the front seats, which freed the rear floor, which made the ULTR seating possible — and that’s why a 3,989 mm car swallows bicycles, cabinets and flatpack furniture that won’t fit in a mid-size sedan. Fifteen years later, nothing in this price class does it better.
Add the ownership fundamentals and the case is strong: timing chain, two PMS visits a year instead of four, a 1.5 that returns 17 km/L on the highway, and a resale curve that has stayed stubbornly flat. Ang bayad mo naman: 150 mm of ground clearance, rear drums, real road noise at speed, and the discipline to respect the CVT fluid.
That last one is the whole deal. Service the CVT with genuine HCF-2, on schedule, and the Jazz is one of the smartest used buys in the Philippines. Skip it to save a few thousand pesos and you’ll eventually pay for a gearbox. Honda stopped selling it in 2021 — the good ones just haven’t noticed yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Magkano ang PMS ng Honda Jazz sa casa?
A light PMS on a Jazz runs roughly **₱4,500–7,000** at the casa, and a heavy PMS at 40,000 or 80,000 km lands closer to **₱9,000–15,000** depending on what gets replaced. Estimates ito, hindi price list — Honda PH never published a Jazz-specific per-interval sheet, and their online PM Cost Calculator is offline as of August 2026, so the only real number is the one your dealer or talyer quotes you. Ang maganda dito: dalawang PMS lang kada taon, hindi apat.
Gaano kadalas ang PMS ng Honda Jazz?
**Every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first** — Honda PH's brand-wide cadence, same as the City and the Brio. Doble 'yan sa 5,000 km na cycle ng Toyota at Mitsubishi, kaya dalawang bisita lang sa casa kada taon instead of four. Hindi ibig sabihin puwede mong i-stretch: puro traffic, alikabok at init ang PH driving, at 'severe use' 'yan sa manual. Kung puro maikling city trips ka, mas mabuting sumunod sa buwan kaysa sa kilometro.
Timing belt ba o chain ang Honda Jazz?
**Chain** — walang scheduled timing-belt replacement sa Jazz, kahit anong generation. Ang lahat ng Honda L-series engine na ginamit dito (1.3 i-DSI, 1.3 i-VTEC, 1.5 i-VTEC, L15Z1) ay chain-driven, kaya wala kang ₱15,000–25,000 na one-time gastos tuwing 100,000 km na parang sa belt-driven na makina. Pero hindi 'yan libre forever: may tensioner at guides pa rin. Kung may **kalampag o rattle sa harap ng makina pag cold start**, ipatingin agad — hindi 'yan normal.
Anong CVT fluid ang gamit ng Honda Jazz?
**Honda HCF-2, at wala nang iba.** Nakasulat mismo sa owner's manual ng GK Jazz: huwag i-mix o i-substitute, at ang damage na galing sa maling fluid ay **hindi covered ng warranty**. Ito ang pinakamurang insurance sa pinakamahal na posibleng repair sa kotse. Kung 2008–2014 GE Jazz ang sa'yo, iba 'yan — conventional 5-speed automatic 'yun, ATF ang gamit, hindi CVT fluid. Alamin mo muna kung alin ang sa'yo bago mag-order ng fluid.
Bakit hindi na binebenta ang Honda Jazz sa Pilipinas?
In-anunsyo ng Honda Cars Philippines ang discontinuation noong **April 9, 2021**. Ang dahilan: dumating ang **City Hatchback RS**, at ayaw nilang mag-agawan ng parehong buyer ang dalawang Honda hatchback sa isang segment. Wala itong kinalaman sa reliability o sa recall — business decision lang. Mga **17 taon** siyang nasa merkado (mula July 2004), tatlong generation, at **mahigit 25,000 units** ang naibenta. Ang 4th-gen Jazz na may e:HEV hybrid ay **hindi kailanman inilabas sa Pilipinas.**
May recall ba ang Honda Jazz sa Pilipinas?
Oo — at ito ang pinakamahalagang bagay na dapat mong i-check kung bibili ka ng second-hand. **Lahat ng tatlong PH generation ay may recall.** (1) Takata front airbag inflator, inanunsyo **April 11, 2013**, kasama ang unang-gen Fit/Jazz. (2) Takata passenger front inflator, **February 20, 2018**, **10,461 units** ng 2013-model City/Jazz/Pilot na naibenta 2012–2015. (3) **Fuel pump** na may depektong impeller — **10,136 units** ng 2018–2019 Accord/BR-V/Mobilio/City/Civic/Jazz/HR-V/CR-V, servicing simula **July 2020**. Libre lahat. I-check ang **17-digit VIN** mo sa recall page ng hondaphil.com bago ka bumili.
Okay lang ba ang CVT ng Jazz, or iiwasan ko na?
Okay siya — basta't hindi pinabayaan. Ang recurring complaint sa Jazz CVT ay **shudder, jerk o hesitation**, at halos lahat ng report ay nakakabit sa overdue o maling fluid, hindi sa depektong parts. Ang bahagyang 'rubber-band' feel pag biglang mag-accelerate ay **normal na ugali ng CVT**, hindi sintomas. Ang totoong red flag pag test drive: umuuga sa pag-alis, kumakain ng oras bago sumunod ang gearbox, o may kalampag na tunog. Kung 2008–2014 unit ang tinitingnan mo, torque-converter automatic 'yun — mas simpleng klase ng gearbox.
Magkano ang second-hand na Honda Jazz ngayon?
Batay sa listings ngayong **July–August 2026**, ang buong hanay ay mga **₱315,000 hanggang ₱750,000** — mas mababa para sa mga lumang GD at GE unit, at nasa ₱600,000-plus ang malinis at low-mileage na GK5 (2014–2021). Manipis ang supply: sa isang aggregator, **21 units lang** ang nakalista sa buong bansa. Listing prices ito, hindi transaction data — nasa kondisyon, mileage, at variant ang totoong halaga. Ang **RS Navi** ang pinakamataas ang hingi dahil siya lang ang may 6 airbags at LED headlights.
Mahal bang i-maintain ang isang discontinued na sasakyan?
Hindi naman — pero mag-iba ang laro. Ang parts pricing ng Honda ay bahagyang mas mataas kaysa Toyota, pero **kaunti lang**, at maaari pa ring i-order ang genuine parts sa mga Honda dealership at sa online store nila. Ang mas malaking isyu ay **lead time**, hindi presyo: sa isang modelong tumigil noong 2021, ang mga hindi-karaniwang parts ay puwedeng i-order pa. Ang tulong dito: **kapatid niya ang Honda City ng parehong panahon** — kaparehong L15 engine family at kaparehong HCF-2 fluid — kaya ang mga common wear items ay hindi orphan parts.
Sulit pa rin ba ang Honda Jazz sa 2026?
Kung praktikalidad ang hinahanap mo, **oo**. Walang subcompact hatchback sa presyong ito na kayang tapatan ang **ULTR seats** — kasya ang bisikleta, aparador, o kahit maliit na kama sa loob ng isang 3,989 mm na sasakyan dahil nasa ilalim ng front seats ang fuel tank. Timing chain, dalawang PMS kada taon lang, mabilis ang engine, at mataas ang resale. Ang tinatalikuran mo: **150 mm ground clearance** (mababa sa hump at baha), drum brakes sa likod, at maingay sa highway. Para sa city daily, sobrang solid pa rin.
