Honda Jazz

The Best Honda (Ciao Hitlist)

WHAT IS IT? The Jazz is Honda's entry into the highly contested and ever popular "supermini" market. It is a five door hatchback, a very simple range to choose from as there are no variants; saloon, convertible etc, all Jazz models therefore share the same "two box" styling. For those of ...

HONDA JAZZ 1.4 SE CVT-7. AUTOMATICALLY BETTER?

Advantages: Great Transmission. Smooth Engine. Low Running Costs. Hugely Spacious Interior. Build Quality.
Disadvantages: Messy Dashboard Styling. Uninspiring Exterior Styling.

...Having said that, the little Honda Jazz has one terrific ace up its' exhaust pipe - it consistently heads all of the customer satisfaction surveys, primarily the well respected J.D. Power one, which concentrates on reliability and owner satisfaction. This is no mean feat and an achievement of which Honda are justifiably proud.

WHICH SPECIFIC MODEL?

I have driven all three models of Jazz, the basic 1.2, the manual 1.4 ...
...last week. On arriving at Honda Chiswick, handing over my Accord for a 50,000 mile service, the service receptionist asked me if I would like a manual or automatic courtesy car. Knowing that the fleet of manual Jazz courtesy cars are bottom of the range 1.2 litre cars, without air conditioning, I opted to take the 1.4 automatic.

At this point I should say that, having driven many different ones over the last twenty years, I have never ... more

Jazz up your motoring

Advantages: space, comfort, flexibility, fuel economy
Disadvantages: absolutely none for me

...but then along came the Honda Jazz… Criteria 1: Light and easy to drive My Honda Jazz drives like a dream. It's classed as a 'supermini MPV', meaning that I get to sit quite high up which gives me a great view of the road, adding to ease of driving. The power-steering is light as a feather and I swear could be done one-fingered. All controls are easy to reach and easy to use. Visibility is very good, especially through the enormous front windscreen. ...
...driver and side airbags. Honda also expect the Jazz to attain 4 stars (i.e. very good indeed) in the euro safety tests. 9/10 Criteria 8: Good looks The best word to describe the Honda Jazz is CUTE. Despite being an MPV it's not too tall (front seats are high because the petrol tank sits underneath them) and it has a gorgeous snub nose. It comes in a variety of colours, mostly metallic. Mine is 'clover green', a very dark metallic green. It's ...

Time to jazz things up a little

Advantages: loads of fun
Disadvantages: expensive for a small car

...three cars, the five door Honda Jazz caught my attention by jumping up and down excitedly on the forecourt whenever I drove by. I had to have it because it made me feel so happy. I even like the brand name. It's high safety spec, (special mention given to Honda's award for pedestrian safety) and solid security features galvanised me into the decision. This is a little car, tiny in fact, on the outside. I'm almost five feet tall and I can reach across ...
...I believe him? The Honda engine is so reliable it's almost boring. But let me tell you my favourite thing about Hannah Honda. She has Magic Seats! They are really called that. The rear seats can fold up and lock so that loads can sit on the rear floorpan. You can fold a single seat up, say for a big plant, or the double seat up for a small chest of drawers, or all three to get in Ruth's bike from Santa at Christmas! If needed, the seats can fold ...

The car that's bigger than it is

Advantages: Practicality, economy, quality
Disadvantages: Low gearing means high revs at 70mph

The Honda Jazz manages the nearly impossible task of giving both my wife and I what we wanted from a car. Unless you're looking for a pure motorway cruiser or something sporty, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. This review was written in 2004 - see the last paragraph for a 2007 update. It replaced my old Cavalier, and I wanted something that could still carry flat-pack furniture or lots of people in comfort. My wife wanted something small and easy ...
...bills, do check that your Honda dealer isn't doing a larger service than necessary for the mileage - I saved over £100 last service by checking this. We've had no breakdowns or faults, and one niggle: there's an occasional squeak from one rear suspension unit which developed after two years, and which the dealer hasn't yet managed to cure, although there is apparently no fault with any of the components. Overall MPGs have been impressive - typically ...

A Jazzy little number

Advantages: Economical, fun to drive, good looking
Disadvantages: Slow to accelerate, stiff steering

...drive! We took a Honda Jazz for a test drive and I immediately fell in love. This review is based on my SE Sport (1.4 litre engine, air conditioning, CD player, alloy wheels, sunroof). The Honda Jazz (named Fit in Japan) is usually marketed as a supermini MPV - inside the car is surprisingly spacious, helped by the forward position of the fuel tank and compact suspension. These slight changes have eliminated the need for a 'transmission tunnel' ...
...adjust the column's height. Honda have also fitted a fairly decent stereo system, although on bumpy rides my CDs do tend to skip. In addition to the ample legroom, there are plenty of nooks and crannies to store your bits and bobs. I've only ever seen this feature in the Jazz but there is no ashtray built into the dashboard - instead there is a little plastic cup thing with a lid, but if you are a non-smoker (like me) you can simply take it out of ...

All that Jazz

Advantages: Very very clever package
Disadvantages: almost none

...caught my eye was, the Honda Jazz. The Polo does it on economy and build quality, the Mini One on “cute” and the Honda ‘cos I think it’s dead clever. Anyway I took my lovely lady to view all three one Sunday afternoon in May. The Polo didn’t even get a test drive. She sat in it and immediately pronounced it “pokey” and drab. So that was that. Germany nil. OK, what about the Longbridge legend then? Nope, no ...
...desperate hope that the little Honda could impress where the Europeans had both scored “null points”. It was love at first site. The Jazz charmed her with its snub nosed good looks and clever use of light and space, not to mention its endless list of gizmos and the almost fifty miles to the gallon that it promised. After much deliberation she decided on a red SE, the middle of the range model. With no trade in (my son will inherit Mum’s ...

The Jazz has Pizzaz!

Advantages: Easy to handle, lots of space, reliable
Disadvantages: Not the most attractive car in the world!

My mother was forced to change her beloved Mazda MX5 when she became a Grandmother, and as a fellow petrol head we did a LOT of research when choosing a new car. She recalled an episode of Top Gear when someone had asked 'these flashy cars are all well and good, but what about recommending a car for your average Joe Bloggs?'. Top Gear highly recommended the Honda Jazz so we looked into them. The Honda website is fantastic, you can view the inside and outside of the car, and it shows you just how roomy it is, the only negative aspect of the site is that the colours of the cars flash too quickly for you to get an idea of them. The Honda Jazz has more than lived up to our expectations, it is amazingly roomy, even without putting the back seats down (when you put the back seats down it gives more room than I have in my lounge). Both ...

Review of Honda Jazz 1.4i

Great machine but.....

Advantages: Sensible size
Disadvantages: Noisy, clunky gearbox

I have just clocked up 1,000 k on my new Deauville. It's not perfect, but by comparison my previous bike - a 2002 VT750C cruiser - was just a bucket of bolts. Handling is good; brakes are OK and the optional large flip screen a must. I also put 50 mm bar risers for a more upright posture and a Xenon 55-60 watt bulb for better night illumination. I have just three winges about this bike. Firstly, the gearbox is both clunky and noisy and there is even a tendency to drop out of second occasionally on accelleration. Not nice at all. Secondly, there is a quite loud harmonic in the engine at 4,000 revs on accelleration (due, I would think to the fairing). It is not a vibration - just a noise. Finally, I would like to know why a 650 cc motor cycle only gets 4.8 litres/100 km when a Honda Jazz motor car can do as well or better. It ...
