Possibly Buying a new car

96terrano · 07-08-2012, 00:24

Hi guys. My mum has a 2003 Honda jazz S. It's the most basic modal out their. It's got a cassette deck

we bought new. Been a good car, never let us down but we are having problems with it now. The gearbox is wearing heavily as in neutral there's a loud whirring sound unless the clutch is pressed. Input shaft bearing? Also in first it sounds like a strait cut rally box

sounds awesome though lol

also there's quite a few leaks from the roof leaks and the floors starting to rot underneath. I've got fed up of constantly fixing things on it then it having another problem

Anyway, we are thinking of possibly trading or selling it private. Mum would like a new car but there's nothing she really likes. Can't blame her. The new cars these days aren't nice. We were looking at new astras, ibizas and other new cars but there's nothing that ticks all the boxes, if I had my way I'd get her to buy a volkwagen amorok

as I had a look at one the other day at a vw showroom. Mmmmmm

So anyhoo..

We are looking at the last of the old style jazz. Mum likes the old style as it looks smart and does everything she wants it to do. Anyone else experienced these jazz problems? The car hasn't been thrashed either

This I'd what we'd like

where was the Jazz made that you have, UK? must be using crap metal, im really surprised its rusting at that age, or is the air really salty where you live?!

Whats wrong with Toyota? Auris is pretty cool, especially the new one...

although bigger than a Jazz, they are quite similar in looks...almost....

ok, it's rusting on the floorpan underneath, when dad brings it back, i'll try and get some pics of it

surprised it's having these problems, some of the problems are re-calls

a juke doesn't know what it is!

dollywobbler · 07-08-2012, 19:16

The Puke (sorry, Juke) is the latest abomination from Nissan. British built! Horrible.

I've heard of plenty of people having issues with the Jazz, including gearboxes but also PAS units. However, I like cars that cost less than a grand, so I have no realistic suggestions!

supergnome · 07-08-2012, 19:28

What Wobbler said.Puke.

clivvy · 07-08-2012, 19:40

Was going to suggest a Skoda as well, had an Octavia hatch from new for 10 years, bloody big boot it them and fairly reliable (had a few costly repairs in the last year, but until then it was good!)

96terrano · 08-08-2012, 12:15

Aye, dad and I want the octavia VRS but mum doesn't like skodas

we've actually contacted the guy I bought my terrano off of as he's a nice chap. He's going to have a look at cars he receives. He not runs about 3 Honda dealers

also he said that he was really happy he sold me the terrano. As I sent him some pics of it. He couldn't believe it was the same truck
