Hello everybody,
I just noticed today since it was a VERY hot day in Perth that the Jazz loses alot of power as i noticed i needed to press harder to go faster, just wondering is it normal and has anybody's jazz overheated??

Yes, when it was like 38 degree in melbourne, I was driving my way back from Geelong and it does suffer a bit.. I think this applies to most cars...

Not most. All cars from micro car to super car. Don't push the car if it's hot and struggling. You put significant pressures to the cooling system to maintain the closed loop that it's in.

Has anyone had the RED overheating warning sign pop up before?? just want to know what happens and how ou fix it, since i noticed the jazz doens't have a tempereature guage so it's hard to tell if the car is going to overheat

Well our Jazzes didn't miss a beat in Sydney's 45C heat on new years day.
If the red light should come on then the vehicle is overheating so pull over to the side of the road and stop the car. Pop the bonnet take a look and call the NRMA if necessary. Check if there is still coolant via the resourviour indicator and whatever you do don't take off the radiator cap (you will get burnt).
