Had 5 Honda's, not a Jazz though, and all have been autos (none CVT though). The change has been silky smooth so maybe something is not right about your one Jeffery?
It was said about perceived quality of cars that top of the range extra cost was all marketing hype. Bottom of the group was just as good as the top of the group (it even uses some of its parts, which is a backhanded compliment). Of course unless it uses all its parts that doesn't mean anything.
But how is that known that its all in the marketing, came across as a 'fact' but it might not be. If I owned the group I would allow more time for build (slow the belt) and more inspection. In fact I would want two inspections: no way would I want bad press on the top product.
And another thing that wasn't said, that certainly is true, a top of range, lets use Audi, will be worth more when you trade it in then a Skoda. What you save on the buying you lose on the selling. In fact many buyers, and me included when I was doing high mileage and changed the car every 3 or 4 years, are only interested in "... whats the difference, how much do I need to find".
Current Japanese built Honda is 10 years old, had nothing more than servicing and cam belt: same battery and exhaust. Goes superb, in fact it may be only just run in. Looks perfect as well ... Happy
