l4y3rcake Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 We actually had a good look at one - because I've had a few VW's in my life, but sadly once you've go used to small little luxuries you kind of expect them - the Jazz had steering wheel controls and a few other minor things which my Wife kind of mentioned..... you know the saying - Happy Wife, happy life..... My Caddy has all the luxuries you could ask for. Steering controls, bluetooth, aircon.... Funny enough we traded a Jazz in on the Caddy
zaslayer Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I 2nd that option. I drive the 2.0tdi and have been for almost 6 years. I get 14-16l/km with a pretty even split of town and highway.14 - 16l/km seems very high.. :/
Escapee.. Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Unless you need boot space.. the H1 pretty much has none.. And no power
zaslayer Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 And no powerWhen I wanted to go test drive one some time back, their test drive unit was out as a loan for a client..
l4y3rcake Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 14 - 16l/km seems very high.. :/ Sorry thats a little typo. 14-16km/l
The Ouzo Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I can concur, its difficult to change a Jazz for something else. Wife had one for a long time, we eventually settled on a Q5. Much bigger vehicle, not as practical. Honda did something right with teh design of those first Jazz's . Was a fantastic car, even though with the 1.4 and CVT box it was a bit gutless.

Definitely - I drove mine nicely on the open road before I gave it to my Wife - but driving it in town now you really have to rev it to pull away - it's got very little torque low down. I'm actually surprised the clutch has lasted 175000kms. Mechianically its still good, but things won't last forever and I'm worried about things like power steering pumps and aircon compressors
Long Wheel Base Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 OFF TOPIC SLIGHTLY, Anyone have a H1? whats the boot space like? I am selling my old defy washing machine. A young lady with a H1 is buying it today and asked me if it will fit in the boot. She says the seats go down.
SRBVI Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Also test drove the H1, H2 and H6 was looking at getting a combo of a H1 and H2. Wife was impressed with the H1, but as said above no boot space and no power you have to give it a bit of beans to get it to cooperate which will increase fuel consumption. H2 seemed good but preferred the new Suzuki Vitara. Apparently GWM in china has invested a lot of money in setting up dealerships and have bought out a majority of Super Groups shareholding. Now over 40 odd dealerships country wide, if only they can get the sales representatives to understand what customer services is. First dealership in Sandton rude sales person on entering dealership we left within a minute of arriving, Fourways dealership test drove both cars promised to follow up on my queries never heard from him. Boksburg took over two weeks of pestering to try get a quote out of them and to this day nothing received. Ended up buying the two vehicles elsewhere.

It should fit with the seats folded down, cant remember if they fold completely flat though.
Long Wheel Base Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 It's going to be a very tight squeeze..Hey, as long as it fits and I can get this thing out my garage I'm happy.
Long Wheel Base Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 It should fit with the seats folded down, cant remember if they fold completely flat though.I googled it and looked at images, doesn't look like they do but it looks like it should fit even with them tilted. Unfortunately a google image search for washing machine in H1 boot doesn't come up with much

Unfortunately a google image search for washing machine in H1 boot doesn't come up with much [emoji38]The boot is 310 litres, so long as the washing machine is less than that, it will fit.. my concern would be the boot opening..

Long Wheel Base Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 @Andymann, if you interested in the H1, I will let you know tomorrow if the boot is big enough for a washing machine. , like a top gear test this.
