honda jazz launch on 10th june 2009 has created a buzz(kaboom) in auto industry launching its new mpv in the market .honda badge has been renowned for so many years with providing new car launches every year and an excellent customer satisfaction over the years,but jazz coming to india i think im in doubt if it can make it .the pricing startegy,it is totally wrong for an hatch back..we have seen this with czeck make the skoda fabia costing aroung 8+ lacs for car with full bells and whistles..keeping in view the indian customers jazz is definately gonna sell in huge no.s. for few months but later the sales are gonna be sluggish ..i test drove the jazz yesterday the first think came into my mind was that the car was built fabulously ,how can a hatch be so spacious ..i mean u can load huge amount luggage while you are travelling..the moment you step and see the interiors you start sayin wow ,they are so plush..but when u start the car u gonna comment ahhh engine could have been better ,but one thing honda deservers hats off they churned out 90 ps of raw power from just a 1198 cc engine ,thats real applause but i feel the car lacks the power and low end grunt ..the engine torque is absent at low ends you really have to rip the engine and make it go above for 3500 rpm plus to get it going ..but thats ok after all its hatch back to be driven within cities..on highways you will feel the car is boring due to lack of adrenaline push ...you really have to step on the gas hard..in terms of economy ahhh again applause should be loud man its reurning 14.5 kmpl showning on the display (trip computer) ahh despite me revving it up...the thing thats goes wrong for honda is pricing when competing with hyundai s i20 ..man i20 fully featured 2 airbags ,alloys,and so many features is just available 6.4lacs on road and honda goes upto 7.8lacs on road ahhm thats pricey..if you consider vfm i would say the i20 is a lot better.u get alloys plus the engine is kappa with a bit of low end grunt presence...i hope that honda sells better then skoda fabia which was technical as well full packed failure for skoda ..so fingers crossed ..can honda turn the tables. lets see...
