Honda Jazz CVT review

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox There is lot of noice on driving in sports mode.

Ride Quality & Handling The car shows a lag when you just start or at slow speed. You press the accelerator and it takes a second or so to push off. This is very frustating when you are driving in traffic. You want to move suddenly on getting a space but the car refuses to push of spontaneously. This is the drawback of CVT. I have test drived Baleno CVT as well but it does not show any lag. The lag in Jazz is apparent at sports mode also and there is no way to overcome it. You just have to live with it.

Final Words Good car but bad CVT performance at low speeds. If you wish to buy automatic first test drive and observe.

Areas of improvement The pick up at slow speeds is very poor and needs improvement. It has no option for push button start, auto locking of doors, GPS, parking sensors, telescopic adjustment of steering wheel even in the top model. Music system voice is also not so good. The rear view mirror for night setting is manual, it should be automatic.

Good fuel economy ie 21 on highway 13 in cityThe car shows a lag when you just start or at slow speed
