Honda Jazz Jack

Just bought a 2010 Honda Jazz. Appears to be no jack with this car. Does it need a specific Honda jack or will any jack work?
Nice to save.

    Probably not 'any' jack but a generic scissor jack should do the job.

    Quick look on eBay finds used Honda jacks for about the same price (£20ish) as generics - or a complete jack/spare/brace set for £55ish. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

    Good point :D


    I'm just used to having several lying about at home from mixed lots of autojumble stock I've bought over the years

    If I remember rightly the jack in a Jazz used to be hidden behind a panel under the rear lip of the boot.

    If it has no spare it probably won't have a jack.

    The Jazz i own MY2012 had no spare but a jack behind a rear panel at the lip of the boot. Check there or EBay for one. I bought a fixing kit from Honda, and a spare alloy from EBay. put a cheap tyre on the alloy and now have a fully functioning spare.

    Or buy a spacesaver from eBay. Trick: the Rover 25 spacesaver is identical in dimensions etc. and much cheaper. :)

    Only problem with the Rover 25, it's a spacesaver, and I would prefer a full size steel or alloy. You would have to change the tyre as well as its probably perished due to age.
