Yo me acabo de comprar (Mayo 2022) un Fit Amarillo igual al de este video, pero el mio es 2018, los controles del aire acondicionado son manuales (de controles rotatorios) y el equipo multimedia tambien control rotatorio para el volumen. Pague 16.000 dólares por el, solo tiene 37.100+ millas y esta que parece nuevo!. AMO este carro, desde el 2002 (cuando todavia vivia en Venezuela 🇻🇪) traté en varias oportunidades de comprarme uno, pero eran muy caros asi que tuvieron que pasar 20 años (y tener que mudarme. Estados Unidos 🇺🇸) para finalmente poder comprarlo. El Fit es una joya del diseño e ingeniería de HONDA y tal vez no sea el mejor carro de la marca, pero de que es bueno, es bueno y espero que me dure al menos 10 años sin grandes dolores de cabeza y/o mantenimiento. El manejo en ciudad y autopista es genial, super agradable y de chasis predecible y lo mas importante: CASI NO GASTA GASOLINA!!!. el tanque de 9 galones da 437 millas de recorrido, eso es demasiado bueno para no ser un carro híbrido.
The practicality of this car is truly astounding - I also have a Skoda Yeti (which I also like a lot) but my wife and I always argue about who would take the Jazz to work as we both prefer it...
Honda is a very honest decent branch. They make probably the best engines in the market for the mass consumer. Somewhat cheep inside but of good quality. What of use is one sparkling Italian design with their awfull reliability and high fuel consumption even for a small car.
I want a Mirage. Mitsubishi makes good cars, with great warranties, and instead of 15 grand on a Honda with more options standard than I want.. I can enjoy 50 MPG with a 10 year 100K warranty for $9995. Bring back a simple base model and DX Honda. I am sick of the bloated over equipped pricy cars they make these days.
Thomas is awesome. He is making all reviews with the same derious spirit of details. He is neutral on his personnal tastes. It can be a Rolls Royce or a Dacia, Thomas will do the same serious complete and detailed reviews.
What a great real world review of a car, actually showing how a car performs as opposed to just saying. Well done! I'm not sure what you mean by "van like" unless you are referring to the boxy styling. This car is definitely on my next car list.
I recently purchaesed the Dynamic Version of the Honda Jazz (130 Horsepower). I am totally happy with this buy so far. Fuel consumptiom is exactly what Honda states (roundabout 5,8 litres per 100 kilometers) Good acceleration about 8.6 seconds from 0 to 100 Km/H, nice soundsystem plus the car handles like a scooter....I am absollutely satisfied so far!
Thanks Thomas for this review! I was one to ask for it! Nice review as always! I was the owner of the first generation Honda Jazz. I am a proffesional driver and I drive luxury class cars, but for me it was always a pleasure to jump in this my Jazz! It's not a perfect cas as no other is, but I think if you need a safe, economical, spacious and relaible car this is the best option ( in my opinion ) also with an excelent manual gearbox! All the other small cars excell in something: design, power, funny colours, a lot of engines but this Honda Jazz is the gold mid way in every aspect!
Nice video as always. I had 2003 Fit 1.5L VTEC. It was good car! Large space, easy to drive, good acceleration. I tested to drive 2015 Fit last year. New Fit is not good acceleration, so not fun. But, of course, fuel economy is better.
i got sold on the preposterous spacing and ordered one, will get mine on the 9th of december, will probably write more about it once I have had it a while :) even with the driver seat mashed all the way back, I still felt comfortable in the back as well. I almost didnt believe it even though I was sitting there :P I am glad you do your reviews in english, since yours seems to be the best ones around on youtube. I've been checking out reviews for cars every other day for over a month since I was in the market, and yours were the only ones that didnt seem abit rushed and lackluster :)
After watching the various reviews on the Jazz, I think I found Thomas' review to be the most comprehensive. I'm also 1.86 m, so I think this review is more suitable for me. I have tried the space in other cars, hatchbacks, SUVs, etc. and although they may be bigger than the Jazz, some really don't have the space like the Jazz does, be it driver's seat or the rear passenger seats. I had the 2nd generation Honda Fit and it had almost the same amount of space, but the current Jazz drives better, in my opinion. After test driving several cars, I bought the Jazz.
happy with your new jazz? I am also considering this jazz, I am 1.86 like you and found it hard to get in and out of many hatchbacks but the jazz is fine.
@@supernova1976 I'm still happy with my Jazz. I have a small family with two toddlers now, but the car still serves our needs. The boot is filled with two strollers, and although not much space left, we could still put in groceries, bags, etc. To be honest, I've thought of changing to a bigger car, but the crazy car prices here in Singapore made me drop the idea. So, I will stick to my Jazz. 😁
@@chaisianliang Yeah it's a great little car that is surprisingly spacious inside, we still have it now coming up to 3 years . Great fuel economy and nimble to drive . Nothing gone wrong apart from normal wear and rear breakpads clamping and a little sticky . Super happy with it.
I guess looks are subjective. I have loved the looks of the Jazz since the 2nd generation and I really love this 3rd gen. I enjoy your reviews very much. You are not overly critical or overly enthusiastic but just report the facts about the vehicle. I plan on purchasing a new Jazz next month and your review really helped. I took my wife to the dealer to see it as she wanted something bigger but it won her over. She couldn't believe how much room there was inside. We live in Cebu Philippines and it is very rare to go much over 60 kph here because there are no real highways so the CVT is perfect. Thanks for the review.
I have an ex-l made for american market. Leather heated seats, sunroof, 1.5l engine, 6 speaker stereo and navi. I like it, rides well on streets of brooklyn. Annoying spot is the design and software for infotainment unit.
An excellent review! I have the almost identical vehicle, including that outrageous colour (but 1500cc)! Without question, the best car I have ever owned in 50 years of driving! We get bullied in small cars here in Australia too... 😡
I own a 2016 Honda Fit, bought in the USA, with a 1.5 l engine. In my own opinion, the European version with a 1.3 l engine has much less power, fewer dynamics on the road, and is not enough for my purposes. It is a "city" car, and when you need much speedy driving, you can be a little disappointed with the 1.3l engine's outcome. With a 1.5l DOHC engine, I feel comfortable almost on every type of road. I even climbed some Romanian mountains in my car (however don't think this car performs also well on off-road segments, it is not created for this kind of trip, so drive only where you see a solid road, even if it's not asphalt). If you want more dynamics from your Fit/Jazz, for example, when you need to bypass some cars on the road, don't hesitate to use S(port) mode on your CVT gearbox. You will see a difference between D(rive) and S(port) modes. For better performance use good tires, Summer/Winter, don't use All Season, change the oil/filters regularly (the car warns you when the oil should be replaced, usually after 5000 km (250 moto hours) or 1 year), change brake pads at 35000 km (or as needed), CVT oil at 50000 km, brake and coolant/anti-freeze liquids once in 2-3 years and enjoy driving!
Thank you so much for this review. I just purchased the FIT EX yesterday and love it. You helped me understand so much about my new car. Making it sure purchase for this senior.
Thanks for the review. For me it also saved some reading of the instruction book. A comment on this version of Jazz is that at least for the Swedish market Honda has understood that they should also import the Elegance version. This version with a higher level of features and functions is in my mind a good way to attract buyers who also have a larger car. (In my case a Volvo V70, mostly used for long trips including with a caravan and when in Germany with the car alone I like to drive it at speed over 160 km/h or over 100 Mph when traffic, road and weather permits it). I have chosen the Jazz for city driving in the Stockholm area. This means that speed limits in built up areas are between 30 and 60 km/h and between 70 and 110 km/h on motorways in the area. I earlier had a 2008 Jazz and a 2010 KIA Venga that I traded in for the new Jazz. Based on that experience the quality of the old Honda was far superior to that of the KIA and had it not been for the 7 year guarantee that KIA offers in Sweden, then it would have been a costly affair.
Looks way better than the new one, go buy this second hand, will last forever! and get the manual, smooth gear shift, and if you need the power just rev it to 6000 rpm and then you will find that the small engine gets quite adequate for merging even in on a Italian high way full of mad men! Best small car to do big car things!
Thank you for the review. It's a very good multi-purpose car, very well built but does not shine in anything really, well, except in reliability and cost of ownership. My mother of 88 loves it for the ease of driving, the CVT and the spaciousness for 4 adults + any luggage we like to have with us. The average fuel consumption is quite good if you know how to anticipate perfectly in busy traffic. My overall average over 23.000 kms is only 1 on 22,86 km (4,37 ltr/100 km). But I mostly drive in Sport mode as I prefer matching rpms in fixed gear ratios. Only when I'm really lazy, I use Drive mode. ;-)
Cara esse é sem dúvida um excelente carro, tenho um 2004 mas espero em breve comprar um novo, aqui no Brasil está custando perto de R$ 70.000,00, ainda não está a meu alcance infelizmente. Obrigado por apresentar o novo Fit 2017 Abraço
Why Honda made Jazz look like HRV or CRV? I prefer the outlook of Jazz in the first and second generations.( No I don't like bulky look. I like sharper bonnet)
Excelent review. As an owner of aging 2003 Honda Accord Tourer I consider new Jazz as my next car. Most of the time I do city driving, don't need huge trunk anymore - plus - I need car with solid build quality. Jazz looks like can fulfill all my needs (my wife's too ;) I'm still not sure about CVT transmission. In the video it doesn't look bad. In Poland it costs less than 1000 Euro...
Keep it or find another one old but low mileage. You would be disappointed with new cars believe me, quality is not like before anymore or just try n buy new and see :)
Tell me that you're unable to understand how important it is to separate the very substantial emotional attachment of the music "jazz" from the fun well engineered Honda Jazz car! That's exactly why! But, I'm still a fan of your reviews. The fact that you took the time to review this car stirred my curiosity to find out why.
I've been waiting for this review, Thomas. This is my next car. I've owned two Honda Jazz .... both excellent. Although, as you've rightly said, it's far from perfect, it's a reliable and incredibly versatile car.
I've driven a manual Jazz and absolutely loved the gearbox (then again, coming from a Renault Clio, any manual gearbox will probably be better ahaha). It was so nice to use that I really don't see why would anyone pay that much more for what's basically a scooter transmission
I was lucky enough to own the first generation model of the Honda Jazz. It had a lovely manual gearbox & was comfortable to drive, really spacious, but the steering was quite numb, especially compared to the Ford Fiesta. Really good car though, I think it is under-rated.
+Dex Won No nothing, I had to bring the car in for a recall over the passenger side electric window switch, but otherwise I had no issues, I had the 1.2 engine.
I have the Mitsubishi Space Star/Mirage 1.2 CVT new from a Mitsubishi/Honda dealer so, I also looked at the Honda Jazz 1.3 CVT. My conclusion, the Honda is slightly better but much more expensive. So, value for money is better with the Mitsubishi and so I bought the Mitsubishi.
Nice review ! The Honda Fit here in US is just a overall reliable car with good use of space , on side note the rear view camera is mandated here on 2017 vehicles on .MY biggest problem is that for its class MPG could be better , it's just okay .I would call it a very good run about vehicle . Thanks Joe
It depends. Driving on highways, I got a 49 mpg performance on my 2016 Fit. On short distances, in the city, in traffic jams, I can get even 24 mpg, which may be considered from the very first point of view poor.
Way late to the party here, but I see the rear bumpers are almost flush to the body there. US (Canada too?) models have rear bumpers that stick out more. It probably has something to do with regulations, and not needing to make it shorter than 4 meters in the US.
Joseph Morris .It seems that many people perceive this car as boring and for elderly people.I was wondering what you think regarding to this issue? Regards, Andrei

troecurov3 I got the full meal deal on mine so full leather and navigation. I bought it about a week or so ago. I really injoy it smooth on the road and very responsive steering I have a manual transmission and it's shifts easily (6th gear takes time to get used to) lots of cool electronics like hdmi. so far I am very happy with my new car
Clearly quality of modern cars was “optimised” in a bad way, it just not feels solid anymore. I had GD1 Honda first gen, and now have second gen 2010 Fit. And I just see how they started to make it cheaper (paint work, not so soundproof etc) compare to first gen I had. I just have one feeling to get rid of it, and find some old low mileage previous generation
Excellent review, I'm so glad I've stumbled across this RUclips channel recently, you do such great and comprehensive reviews 👍🚗 I really like the Jazz. I'd personally go for the manual box, but that's me. PS. I prefer the "Jazz" name over "Fit". I know I'm used to that over here in the UK, but I think it's the better out of the two.
Hi Thomas This is just my Opinion but here goes. The reason the name "Fit" works in the US and Canada is because we have bigger vehicles in general, and the Fit is impressively big inside. So in a country where they compete against such large vehicles. Fit makes you think it won't be too small, also Jazz is a little whimsical and not serious. Honda's Reputation in North America is the "VERY PRACTICAL CHOICE". Please let me know if you agree or not?
I own a Honda Jazz and I have had nothing but 100% reliable motoring from it. As for CVT it does take a little getting used to. You could switch to "S" (Sport) mode and use the paddle shifters. Acceleration is faster that way...
Der Skoda mit dem amtlichen Kennzeichen E-DS 4141 überholt ab Videominute 25:30 rechts, fährt auf ein Auto mehrfach sehr dicht auf und überholt dann rechts und setzt sich dann wieder vor das überholte Auto. Das ist verboten und passt gewiß nicht zu der dort erlaubten Höchstgeschwindigkeit.
Thank you for this video. It helps to find a decision. The motor sounds more quiet on the Autobahn than its prior generations. Does it? Did you know that Magic Seats can be switched up and locked with one hand + elbow? 😁 When both are up you can transport a plant or run through, right, but you also can transport two kid bikes or yours (unrig front wheel).
It saves money on two. Renault used to put the electrics in but not the bulb and just covered it over. You could cut the plastic cover off, add a bulb and you had two lights.
My Honda Jazz, of the same version as tested, the Elegance, has got two reverse lights.On some cars of other makes and on their continental versions, for right hand traffic, have the reverse light in the taillight assembly on the right and the same section on the left assembly has a red glass for the strong mist/fog rear light. (And I assume it is the other way around for UK and Ireland).
Even though I don't like Jazz, it still sounds better than Fit. In the US I believe it's marketing to show that it's a bigger car than some mid sized cars(as a lot of cars here are bigger), but I don't get why it's called that in Japan
In Australia we get the Jazz with both the 1.3 and 1.5 litre engines with manual or CVT. Most of our Hondas are made in Thailand, where are Hondas for the German market made?
I live in Sweden and I took delivery of my Jazz in early June and it has a manufacturer plate stating "Made in Japan". It was built in Japan in February 2016 and then the car spent a couple of months onboard a ship to Europe.
Thanks Thomas, I think your reviews are fantastic. We bought the Daughters Car based on your review and are now looking for a small car to Replace a 2008 polo TDI. A very hard car to replace with its amazing mpg but also DPF problems due to round town use. Can you suggest any other small similar cars and Not a Ford. Nice 2Cv they just don't cut the mustard any more though!
thanks!

Likes: 1. Front view 2. driver cup holder Dislikes: 1. "Volvo style" rear view. 2. Infotainment. 3. hand brake. 4. Door handles. Hate: position of door mirror especially co-driver side.

Really nice , complete review.Car seems nice, maybe with the bigger engine in U.S. it might drive a little better.
thanks, join us for more reviews!
Best review on youtube , thank you

I agree....
Absolutely great review, all bases covered. I prefer the Name "JAZZ", seems to suit the car, especially in yellow. Thanks for the review, well done.
you're welcome. It would be great if you would join us for more reviews.
Just bought new sport 1.5 engine and that makes the difference ! Comfortable on motorways and practicality wins overall
It's literally the same engine. Just a different trim package.
i love the complete details of your review!!!

The Jazz will fit me. (or will the Fit jazz me....I don´t know...)
😂
Jazzy car would love to get one because it fits my needs😁
Like you commented that was a beautiful 2cv. Like your reviews & how can someone bully you Thomas, you're a lovely guy

thanks and join us for more reviews!
Tell me that you're unable to understand how important it is to separate the very substantial emotional attachment of the music "jazz" from the fun well engineered Honda Jazz car!
That's exactly why!
But, I'm still a fan of your reviews. The fact that you took the time to review this car stirred my curiosity to find out why.
I've been waiting for this review, Thomas. This is my next car. I've owned two Honda Jazz .... both excellent. Although, as you've rightly said, it's far from perfect, it's a reliable and incredibly versatile car.
have fun w/ your new car then!
not only turbo is a problem for reliability, also the direct injection with the carbon bild up and other problems.
I likes this guy
👌
What are your thoughts on the Jazz with 1.5 ltr , 130 PS standard transmission? Thanks
i think the new Jazz looks really pretty ;)
We have one from year 2001, but this new one looks excelent ;)
Enjoyed the review, excellent. I think it is a great looking car and reasonably priced.
I don't like the German language, but I do like the accent and his voice sounds so soothing lol
I've driven a manual Jazz and absolutely loved the gearbox (then again, coming from a Renault Clio, any manual gearbox will probably be better ahaha). It was so nice to use that I really don't see why would anyone pay that much more for what's basically a scooter transmission
traffic jam. otherwise. no one would like to drive a cvt.
Good review as always. I've always liked the Jazz. This is better styled outside but the inside reminds me of why I do not buy Honda's. It looks old!
thanks!
Jazz is the better name. Thanks for your good review
it's a name which you can remember easily. Keep watching Autogefuehl!
When you were checking the rear seat, would have been nice if you could seat straight and showed the headroom.
We are waiting now for yours review of the New Jazz Crosstar hybrid 2020!
In Germany you can choose between three trim levels. And even the lowest level "Trend" offers heated seats in the front!!!
Nice car, and a very sensible buy. .....and Jazz is such a better name than Fit imo.
I was lucky enough to own the first generation model of the Honda Jazz. It had a lovely manual gearbox & was comfortable to drive, really spacious, but the steering was quite numb, especially compared to the Ford Fiesta. Really good car though, I think it is under-rated.
Did your car have any engine troubles or other issues ?
+Dex Won No nothing, I had to bring the car in for a recall over the passenger side electric window switch, but otherwise I had no issues, I had the 1.2 engine.
Thank you very much for the very nice review.
thanks, spread the word for us!
I like yout Revew.. congratulations..
And I like Honda Jazz(Honda FIT).
Hellow from Guatemala..!!!
hey, thanks and stick with us!
I have the Mitsubishi Space Star/Mirage 1.2 CVT new from a Mitsubishi/Honda dealer so, I also looked at the Honda Jazz 1.3 CVT. My conclusion, the Honda is slightly better but much more expensive. So, value for money is better with the Mitsubishi and so I bought the Mitsubishi.
interesting! We ll have the Space Star very soon in a review as well
Great and fun review
join us for more reviews ! :)
Very thorough review.Many thanks.
thanks, feel free to recommend!
I thought a 1.5l fit in the U.S was small but you guys have a 1.3l lol? Fascinating! Thorough and fair review Thomas👍! Greetings from Colorado USA 😁
cheers m8 !
And the Civic now comes with a 1.0l. Got that in the US?
Nice review ! The Honda Fit here in US is just a overall reliable car with good use of space , on side note the rear view camera is mandated here on 2017 vehicles on .MY biggest problem is that for its class MPG could be better , it's just okay .I would call it a very good run about vehicle .
Thanks
Joe
+TechExplorer thx joe!
It depends. Driving on highways, I got a 49 mpg performance on my 2016 Fit. On short distances, in the city, in traffic jams, I can get even 24 mpg, which may be considered from the very first point of view poor.
Way late to the party here, but I see the rear bumpers are almost flush to the body there.
US (Canada too?) models have rear bumpers that stick out more. It probably has something to do with regulations, and not needing to make it shorter than 4 meters in the US.
just bought mine i love it lol same colour too :)
Joseph Morris .It seems that many people perceive this car as boring and for elderly people.I was wondering what you think regarding to this issue? Regards, Andrei

troecurov3 I got the full meal deal on mine so full leather and navigation. I bought it about a week or so ago. I really injoy it smooth on the road and very responsive steering I have a manual transmission and it's shifts easily (6th gear takes time to get used to) lots of cool electronics like hdmi. so far I am very happy with my new car
Thanks for full length video again...

yeah ! more this kind of reviews please :)
Promised!
Excellent review again
thank you m8!
Clearly quality of modern cars was “optimised” in a bad way, it just not feels solid anymore. I had GD1 Honda first gen, and now have second gen 2010 Fit. And I just see how they started to make it cheaper (paint work, not so soundproof etc) compare to first gen I had. I just have one feeling to get rid of it, and find some old low mileage previous generation
great video Thomas.
thank you!
Excellent review, I'm so glad I've stumbled across this RUclips channel recently, you do such great and comprehensive reviews 👍🚗
I really like the Jazz. I'd personally go for the manual box, but that's me. PS. I prefer the "Jazz" name over "Fit". I know I'm used to that over here in the UK, but I think it's the better out of the two.
+CyclingDaz great to have u with us!!
Autogefühl hi I would like to ask between the new honda jazz 1.3 cvt and polo 2018 1.0 115 hp dsg which car is better?
I am currently in Thailand and there are lots of Honda Jazz.. I prefer the Fit myself.
lol, isnt jazz and fit the same meaning?
Good, detailed review. Well done. Car looks a bit dusty, like for example at 10:28
25:11, typical BMW driver...
25:10, typical Opel Corsa driver...
Hi Thomas This is just my Opinion but here goes.
The reason the name "Fit" works in the US and Canada is because we have bigger vehicles in general, and the Fit is impressively big inside. So in a country where they compete against such large vehicles. Fit makes you think it won't be too small, also Jazz is a little whimsical and not serious. Honda's Reputation in North America is the "VERY PRACTICAL CHOICE". Please let me know if you agree or not?
ok thanks for the feedback interesting :)
I own a Honda Jazz and I have had nothing but 100% reliable motoring from it. As for CVT it does take a little getting used to. You could switch to "S" (Sport) mode and use the paddle shifters. Acceleration is faster that way...
+Alexis Hadjisoteriou interesting!
True.
I‘m using S for acceleration and short passing manoeuvre for a little boost.
(Honda Jazz Hybrid)
Please consider giving the fuel consumption in mpg also, if you're interested in informing Americans as well as your other followers.
very well done review!
thanks !
Der Skoda mit dem amtlichen Kennzeichen E-DS 4141 überholt ab Videominute 25:30 rechts, fährt auf ein Auto mehrfach sehr dicht auf und überholt dann rechts und setzt sich dann wieder vor das überholte Auto. Das ist verboten und passt gewiß nicht zu der dort erlaubten Höchstgeschwindigkeit.
Thank you for this video.
It helps to find a decision.
The motor sounds more quiet on the Autobahn than its prior generations. Does it?
Did you know that Magic Seats can be switched up and locked with one hand + elbow? 😁
When both are up you can transport a plant or run through, right, but you also can transport two kid bikes or yours (unrig front wheel).
Yeah its quieter. Indeed the magic seats are cool , too bad they were dropped in the new civic generation
Handsome and adorable all at once. The car looks good, too.

I always wondered why in Europe so many small cars have only one reverse light?
It saves money on two. Renault used to put the electrics in but not the bulb and just covered it over. You could cut the plastic cover off, add a bulb and you had two lights.
My Honda Jazz, of the same version as tested, the Elegance, has got two reverse lights.On some cars of other makes and on their continental versions, for right hand traffic, have the reverse light in the taillight assembly on the right and the same section on the left assembly has a red glass for the strong mist/fog rear light. (And I assume it is the other way around for UK and Ireland).
Good job.
thx!
Even though I don't like Jazz, it still sounds better than Fit. In the US I believe it's marketing to show that it's a bigger car than some mid sized cars(as a lot of cars here are bigger), but I don't get why it's called that in Japan
In Australia we get the Jazz with both the 1.3 and 1.5 litre engines with manual or CVT. Most of our Hondas are made in Thailand, where are Hondas for the German market made?
Certain models are made in the US as well, like the non-station Civic.
I live in Sweden and I took delivery of my Jazz in early June and it has a manufacturer plate stating "Made in Japan". It was built in Japan in February 2016 and then the car spent a couple of months onboard a ship to Europe.
Thanks Thomas, I think your reviews are fantastic.
We bought the Daughters Car based on your review and are now looking for a small car to Replace a 2008 polo TDI.
A very hard car to replace with its amazing mpg but also DPF problems due to round town use. Can you suggest any other small similar cars and Not a Ford.
Nice 2Cv they just don't cut the mustard any more though!
thanks! We have several small car reviews, check out those...

Thomas, when will you review the 2017 New Civic?
No news on that yet, see Civic Type R here: ruclips.net/video/cjekmad7BeU/видео.html
Should try the new FIAT Tipo
It was originally supposed to be called Fitta but they came up with Jazz bc Fitta is an inappropriate word in one language.
Fitta (Fit) is in Norwegian, (where children come out of ladies = pu..y in English)
Great job👏 👍thank you🤗
+Cristalyn Cabanillas appreciated!
