Good car at this price

Good car at this price and the mileage is good and affordable for a middle-class family, love this car very very nice and beautiful colors in collaboration with a beautiful design and a beautiful feeling of driving.

Others can can wait- its the Jazz for now!!

<p><strong>Exterior</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;Design of the Jazz is futuristic and it wont age for the next 4-5years, vouch for it. designed to make the visibility of the car and minimise blind curves.the use of glass makes the car a 'pictureque view' for the onlooker...</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;The interior is the place that makes the Jazz what it is- its a Sedan in the hood of a Hatchback. Once you are inside of the car, you will never like any other entry level Sedan in India + also a few so called preminum sedans. Its got everything that a car lover can ask for. Excellent Space due to its thoughtful 'function over form design', all the controls are asthetically placed and ever better is that all the functions required for a premium car are made available- steering mounted audio controls, intergrated music system, tonnes of storage, beautiful and extremely functional digital display on the dashboard. The best part of the car is that the back seat occupans (usually your kids and family) are very happy with the enorrmous space in the rear. this makes sure that the driver of the car (you) and the co-occupants (your family) have never been happier!! Once you start driving, the almost 'panoramic' view of the car will make you feel like you are sitting in a premium movie hall like PVR...needless to say, the blind curves are almost non-existent due to this design aspect!!</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong></p> <p>while you start to turn on the ignition and drive,&nbsp;u will be reminded of an old refridgerator advt- yeh awaaz hi nahi kartha- the engine is so silent that you will double check ur ignition key to make sure the engine is running. Few folks complain of lack of torque at the low end- i strogly feel that this is due to the lack of engine burp that a swift would produce. dont be cheated by it, the engine is working and will smoothly glide you at 3/4th gear even in peak traffic. some also say that the engine isnt sporty enough, thats NOT because the engine lacks response, but because of lack of the 'vibrations' passing into ur legs when u open the throttle (like in the swift) a god sent engine!!!</p> <p>Fuel economy isnt thew best in class- about 13-14 in city and 16 on highways- more than what i need, even for a petrol car!</p> <p>Gearbox is again 'Honda like'- very slick and responsive. Its almost as if it reads ur mind and goes to the position u want it to...smooth as silk.</p> <p>Overall- its the best driving experience in the country!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;its true value for money - at 7L we get the space of a sedan, features better than a sedan and the premium feel that only a Honda can offer!! all your friends and 'well wishers' may advice you against buying the Jazz because for 7L + we could land ouerselves a more 'status worthy' sedan- hey, but this is all about how you feel from the inside than what you want others to feel when they see u drive a car!!</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>waiting period-&nbsp;i went to bookk a Jazz in Oct-11 and was told that the waiting period is&nbsp;8 months and that from April-12 the bookings will normalise. Today i called the showroom&nbsp;and was told that the waiting period is STILL 8 MONTHS!!........Honda, pls do something about this!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>(if only the Thailand Honda factory hadnt had so many issues)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>design, premium, space, features, safety- the best car everwaiting period only!!!
