    I feel sorry to bring to notice of public, the hidden fact about supplied spare part with new launch Honda Jazz- 2016 top model for which Honda has never mentioned about this limitation of Jazz car in any of its brochures/documents/advertisement.

     I have purchased a top model of Honda Jazz VX-MT ( i-VTECH ) Petrol car from Joshi Automotives Pvt. Ltd. -Harmony Honda, #67, Ind. Area, Phase-2, Chandigarh manufactured in January 2016. (Chassis No. MAKGK773AG4003448, Engine No. L12B41023462). 

    During delivery of car I was told that the spare tyre is of different make MRF whereas all four fitted tyres are of “Good Year” make. The delivery checklist states that the “Make of spare tyre may be of different from make of the other 4 tyres”. But it was also found that the spare tyre is of small rim size-14 inch and with different size tyre (175/70 R14) whereas all other tyres are of size 15 inch (175/65 R15)
    The dealer explained that small size spare wheel (14') is supplied as an emergency wheel and reason given is to visually remind you to get the damaged tyre repaired at the first opportunity.
    I am not convinced with the given logic as the spare tyre is always used for periodic rotation with other tyres. I have never seen such small spare tyre as supplied by Honda for this model and didn’t find any reason why only for Jazz car this type small tyre is supplied.

    The dealer was unable to show me in writing anywhere that for the top model of Jazz the spare tyre supplied with the car may be of different size/ specification as Honda has hidden this feature from public whereas all other small features are highlighted. Dealer’s sales persons has expressed inability to change the tyre. This type of hidden specification was never expected from such a reputed company-Honda  This type of hidden limitation shall be shared with public so that people like me may know this model limitation in advance before planning to buy this model.  
    Company should replace the spare tyre with original size tyre and rim to promote its sales.
