Exterior Mini-van/MUV like styling, looks great. Paint job is excellent.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior Quality is one of the best in the class. Loads of space & great visibility. Audio system is nice but does not provide controls to install Amp & Sub Front seats provide excellent support, rear seats are not meant for 3 occupants though. Ample head room & leg room both up front & rear.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This 1.2 litre motor is amazingly smooth. If you are careful, it can return 13 - 14 kmpl in city with AC ON! Gearbox works well too but needs frequent shifting in City traffic. Honda motor is well refined & if reved hard it responds quickly.
Ride Quality & Handling Power steering is precise & ride quality is very good. At low speeds you may feel few bumps & higher speeds its a smoother ride.
Final Words Honda Jazz may appeal to those who are looking for a Second or third car for their family & does not necessarily view Sedan as an upgrade over hatchback. Its offers premium comfort & features and in some areas scores better than CITY. Honda has gone ahead with a Pricing strategy that may not be seen positively by many buyers but it certainly provides unmatched quality, Space 7 Utility for that price. In my opinion, Honda could still come up with more cost effective Development / Enginnering practices to add some features at current Price such as - Auto Air Con, Bluetooth Connectivity, CVT & higher capacity Motor (1.5 Litre).
Areas of improvement 1.2 Litre motor could feel sluggish if not pushed hard. 1.5 Litre motor doing duty in CITY should be available as an Option.
