Another odd example of someone importing the Japanese domestic version of a car that was sold officially in the UK anyway. In fact, the European version of the second-generation Honda Fit (Jazz in the UK) was actually built in Britain, so very much an example of ‘coals to Newcastle’. Saw this one in my local railway station car park yesterday. #davidsdailycar #Honda #WeirdCarMastodon

    @davidwilkins@mastodon.online My MIL has one in that colour. It has a Sports mode button and paddle shifts behind the steering wheel. I'm not sure if that was meant to be ironic or not. We'd drive around it, I'd floor it, nothing would happen and we'd all shout "Feel the power of the Jazz". You probably had to be there.

    @davidwilkins@mastodon.online they're so cheap in Japan, there's plenty of the Fits in Australia now. All grey imports. Honda Aus refuse to sell small cars.

    @davidwilkins@mastodon.online She was called Jazz in France too.
