5.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 3.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Excellent Exteriors which can even make most the sedans pale in front of this smashing car... It's a great car in a country where people only love quantity rather than quality and that's a a misfortune for this car (I think)... I am a proud owner of this car and do love to flaunt it... and I am really happy with the kind of attention it draws since Polos, i20s and others are just way below in quality... These cars just cannot match the looks of Honda Jazz...
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are so spacious and excellently designed that you just cannot imagine.... From the inside, it's just too big a car... From inside it's size is exactly similar to the City with quality a notch above it's bigger sibling - The City. Four seats are very very comfortable... Just sit in the rear seat and you will immediately notice what you are missing in the likes of i20 and Polo!!! Jazz is designed for someone who love quality and do not mind paying extra for that!!!!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox iVtec is a great performer... Fuel Economy is excellent and Gearbox is silky smooth...Easily the best!!!! The only thing I personally do not like is the lack of response from the engine at low revs... below 2.5K it's very hard to drive... Else, on the highways absolutely NO car matches it's performance, stability and reliability.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is little hard... But, on the highways, it's smooth and very very grounded... Handling is simply the best i20 and Polo just cannot be compared to it.
Final Words If you have a love for the quality... Then go for it... Else, you have Polos and i20s etc... and will be lost in those... One last advice.
i20 and Polo does have an image problem and that's were the Jazz scores over them very very comfortably. Eg. If you happen to buy an i20 (CRDI Asta) for let's say 7Lac... and there is another person in your locality with a i20 (Era) petrol for 4.5Lac... His image (on the whole) will be equal to your's... Since rest of your life you will spend in explaining to the others that your car is worth 7Lac and his is only for 4.5Lac... I beleive that if you have spent that much on car, then car should speak for itself... That's where Jazz scores over them... Once you own a Jazz... everybody will know that you are in an elite club... and not many people around you have the luxuary and previlage to show off a quality product... My fundas... be different from the RAT RACE!
Areas of improvement Some improvements that could be done:
1. I agree with most of the people, that Honda should give driver seat adjuster as a standard.
2. USB port will be a good option... That's for sure.
3. Rear middle seat is very spacious, though little un-comfortable because of the design (since seats fold from there.
4. Pickup should be improved at low Rev.
5. If Honda can come up with a 1.5L engine in it - Like they are doing in Thailand.
6. If they can bring in more colour options in India.
7. Mud flaps, Partial Tray should be provided as a standard.
8. If they can re-think about securing fuel tank lid!
Good Looks, Great Style, Good Road Presence and Nice Fuel Economy.Not adequate pickup at low rev (<2.5K)...
