I've never seen a fit with a shifter like that. Is that the "i-shift" and how does it work?

Kaloriziko!

Is the trans CVT?

Is the cup in the L/S cupholder a factory accessory?

Why are the rear seats shy of headrests?

What's the italicized "i" button on the wheel?

Any chance of getting a shot under the hood?

I don't know if the Jazz movie will load automatically for everyone, I'm guessing it will, on the Honda Greece site:
HondaCars

It's really cool. They have neat stuff happening in the cargo area, flipping and flapping all over the place. LOL!

I don't speak Greek, but just click on the left side at the top on the main page that says "MONTE(upside down V)A, and you can click on the Jazz there. That for sure should load the little movie.

They have several versions, it's kind of fun to click around. They have a TON of colors. Click on the word that starts with an X on the right side of the Jazz section.

Click on the Jazz Gallery in the lower left corner to view larger images of various parts of the car. There's a close-up of the gear shift (auto/manual 6spd), and it appears they have height adjustment.

The other things on the same line change to exterior, etc. Check out the blue car that is purple too, but the regular color section doesn't show a color that is just like that image. No rear wing. No side skirts. No front sport bumper. Sky roof. Signals on the side mirrors.

Hello Guys again.I will try to translate everything of what my new jazz has.
Just a few things.
The rear wing is extra. we do not have side skirts, we do have a panoramic roof and of course signal on the side mirrors. all models come with vsa.
i will post also some day photos during this week.

Thumbs up

That is actually a nice color!

I also like the steering wheel controls and your Heat/AC controls better.

That's probably the cup ashtray, here is an image for the 2007-2008 cup:
http://www.carmichaelhondastore.com/...fitashtray.jpg

They didn't have it in stock when I was buying my car, so I got a much cheaper one at Walgreen's that has a little blue light in it. Then decided I really didn't want smoking in the car, but just in case, I better have it anyway. Filled it about 1/3 way with baking soda, to help extinguish any burning parts and maybe absorb smell a bit.

I don't know what the "i" button is, we'll have to wait for our new friend to tell us.

But I'm hoping it's my dream come true. The Idiot button. Pressing the Idiot button would then cause the Sky Roof to slowly retract, and while the idiot in the passenger seat was being all amazed, they wouldn't notice their seat belt slipping off, just before they were launched out the top of the car.

BOING!!! <---flapping idiot in the air after launching

"Nobody tells me how to drive from the passenger seat. Nobody."

............ <---me, watching idiot fly.

Now, back to driving...<---me, shifting the ashtray

Very pink. How have I never heard of this shifter before? Honda better bring the Japanese color selection to us in 2010.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Beautiful! What a gorgeous color! You also have the automatically folding mirrors? And I love the side turn markers on the mirrors too. That should be a required safety feature in the U.S. in my opinion.

I button is for the trip computer. It cycles between the different functions. In addition to the standard MPG/l/100km one, it has distance to empty, speed alarm, seatbelt(s) buckled or not, and average speed. In the Euro one I think you also get outside temperature in there somewhere.

Next to that is a Sel/reset button that does the same thing as the trip meter selector sticking out of the speedo (but easier to reach)

We have the same thing in Aus Jazz VTi and VTi-S (but not most of those other toys, and not CVT).
