Honda Jazz -which automatic?

I'm getting a Honda Jazz for my mother (1-2 years old). She can only drive automatics, but I've heard there were problems with the Jazz automatic transmission in the newer 2008-10 models. Is this true? Should I avoid Jazz autos 08-10?

Thank you.

Best to avoid the 2008 - 2010 i-shift. She might not like that at all. Better a late old shape or a post Feb 2011 new shape.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
