Honda Jazz [2011-2013] User Reviews

Exterior Great exteriers, looks like a sedan, great curves. I liked the design on all sides, very destinctive from all other hatchbacks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Music system, controls, steering all are excellent, space is unmatchable . Seat confort is very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth, hardly notice the sound sometimes, though it is little lazy in the low speed & but in highway it is master. Even though gear box is very very smooth. Sometimes I felt little cranky. May be because I am very new to car driving. Otherwise awesome driving experience.

I am a first time driver, in city it ranged from 10 - 13 km/l, in highway it gave upto 18 /l.

Ride Quality & Handling simply hooooooooooooooooondaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Final Words In my first trip itself I drove on NH, state highways, village roads, muddy roads, hundreds of humps, hundreds of patholes. Always great driving experience, great wheelbase. Good ground clearance  (travelled with 8 passengers - drove over 10-15 humps of alls size without any issues ), overall truly great machine with style & space.

Areas of improvement Great box is great but gear stick should have been little better, only one master key comes with car (can be given 2). Modern style keys should be given ( foldeble like fiat,VW).

Exterior

Very stylish exterior ,elegant styling which reflect superiority over rode and reflect you as the king of hatch back

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

largest interior space in any hatch back like many c segment car (sedan) with stereo system ,10 cup holder very stylish 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

engine is very silent and powerful but when car move fast sound could be heard but with speed sound system (music systems sound increases speed) very less engine sound could be heard .Gare box is very sleek and car sometime run out of grip due to fule efficient tyre

Ride Quality & Handling

Excellent ride quality My hero honda pleasure make more noise than that of jazz

Final Words

Price of car is much more compared to other car in hatchback segment but the engine imported from japan which is e 10 compatible ( 10 % ethanol in petrol) which make this car value for money. I was planning to buy i 20 and it was nearly final but when in a mela stall of honda i saw jazz it made me change my mind .Those people who are buying a premium hatch please visit the honda showroom

Exterior Sleek and bold but tyres and headlamp look like City 2008 a bit.Fog lamps are not available,skinny tyres and lacks turn indicators in ORVM. But Maruti 's Swift is more sober and basic. It is only than it gets alloys and fog lamps at ZXi variant.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors look great,but Jazz X and Toyota Etios have better interiors and i10 Face-lift better dark grey or light black dash. But lots of features are lacked and lacklustre dash,reflects on windshield like older i10.Space,is its strong point and the boot,366-boot can put a Hyundai Verna saloon car to shame. Comfort is best in class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good but has lacklustre torque,has 11.2 kgm of torque.It is lesser than smaller i10 Kappa2 VTVT with a lesser 79 BHP but more torque of 11.4 kgm. Fuel economy is poor but better than Swift. Gear is good but i10 and Fabia have slicker gearshifts.

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride but really harsh at high speeds,handling is not bad.

Final Words NEVER BUY A HONDA JAZZ,BUY A SKODA FABIA FACE-LIFT INSTEAD OR SPARK/BEAT OR i10 KAPPA2 VTVT. BUT FOR i-V-TEC TECH,YOU BUY ONE FOR LOOKS AND INTERIORS AND THE i-VTEC TECHONOLOGY.

Areas of improvement FE,PRICE AND FEATURES.TORQUE OF ENGINE CAN BE 15 KGM,INSTEAD OF  THE PUNY 11.2 KGM.

Exterior - Superb!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 1. Seats could have curved surface to support lower back to make more comfortable on long drives

2. Fabric is used for some part of door interiors which is difficult to maintain, could have used durable material in different color

3. Lot of flexibility due to multiple modes of seating arrangement possible

4. Many small but useful features like cup holder, wallet/mobile socket, confidential docs/money compartment etc

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1. Excellent performance , good fuel economy

2. Sometimes 1st gear is hard

Ride Quality & Handling

 1. Very good power, engines picks up at higher speeds

2. Superb bearings ! u don't need to accelerate on little slopy roads

Final Words

 It's the best car in the hatch back category, gives sadan features without consuming that extra space in parking lot

Areas of improvement  

 1. Better seat curvature

2. Little higher ground clearance

3. Replace fabric interior with more durable fibre material

Exterior Looks good but not very sporty to look at. Thick steel mush takes the sportiness of that car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The sense of space if excellent both in front and rear seats. the tilt rear seats is a great convenience feature for long distance. the Magic seats make the car muliti functional. The most featur rich car in its segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The quietest and smoothesr engine possible, great response, soft clutche and smooth gear shift. Easiest ans smoothest car to drive in its ckass.

Ride Quality & Handling Great, Ride Quality and Handling feels like a big car. 15 inch tyres makes a huge difference.

Final Words I and my wife test drove all hatchbacks t replace her 7 year old swift and the only car we felt better than the swift is Jazz. if you want to have and enjoy the pride and performance of a luxury Hatchbak, Jazz is the only option.

Areas of improvement Fear of a design change in line with Ford Fiesta, Brio and i20, cos my wife just bought the car.
