fuel economy
my 10 months old honda jazz can only make 10-12km/l.
far from 15-20km/l as stated in some reviews.
is mine normal? is my 16-inch wheels the culprit?
bodykit
where is the cheapest?
how much?
performance
sweet car. can satisfy an apetite of 1.6 litre driver.
no problem up till 120km/h, beyond that, shaky (or is it mine only? comments please)
website
any local fan club for honda jazz/fit?

fuel economy is dependent on your wheels, whether you step on the accelerator like a racer etc.
basically, you also need to discount some from the brochure.
engine break-in is just as impt. cos during this period wear n tear are one main point that will lead to future savings or costs...
as for bodykits...there's one thread earlier on that markets the fit/jazz/city/vios kits. do a search for it. -
Yap... most likely your 16" wheels are the culprit... I'm running on stock 14" wheels can achieve about 14km/L but that's becoz I'm going like 95% city.

this is one of the sites... though its not yet completed.
On the other hand you can try delphiforums they have a very very active group of Jazz/fit people there.

He is using 15 inch with ES100
can get up to 17km/l when he drives like wimp
normal driving up to 15km/l
guess it's because you made your jazz satify the appetite of a 1.6l driver that causes to consumption?
regarding the shaky feeling, to reduce it, can try doing high speed balancing and alignment. -
test drive the jazz last weekend.
nice and sturdy, but find it over-priced for a 1.3l engine. -
well, fuel consumption is a wide topic and i'm no expert. i myself drive a 1.5fit.(16inch rims) my consumption is about 10-12l. i have a heavy right foot.
I have a friend who's fit is solely done up on fuel effeciency and ICE. he's getting in bout 15-17l(fuel saving devices).
Changing to bigger and heavier rims directly affects consumption.
i was adviced to spend cash on dressing up and improving fuel consumption of the fit. no point wasting $$ to improve the fit performance. cos it's performance parts are damn EX.
Don't wanna type to long.. for more info, http://www.swog.com.sg/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi -
about the shaking wheels, go and get your balancing(high speed balancing) redone. the shop where you got yr rims did not do a proper job. go back to the same shop. i had the same problem. now my fit doesnt give me problems till 170kmh, havnt tried the car beyond that.
