For those who want the luxury of a sedan and the versatility of a MUV

 

I bought Jazz Select In Jan 11 and have done 6000 km till date on the car both in the city and on the highway.To begin with I had actually gone to the showroom with the Honda City on my mind.After testing the city when I saw the Jazz for the first time in flesh and blood I decided to take her for a spin.Ihad the following requirements which the City was only Partially fulfilling-

1.Space-both boot and cabin space-U will be shocked that the Jazz looks bigger than the city from inside.Although the boot is 400L (same as verna)against 520l for the City,the volume has been measuerd till the parcel tray level.If u remove the parcel tray and use one side of the upper part of boot(which v all do in hatches when required)u get equal space from the boot.Add to it if u fold the magic seats then it can fit ur entire household!

2.Contemporary-youthful-easy to drive (even by ur not so confident spouse)

3.Performance-at par with City on the highway.For city driving it has been optimised for economy.

4.Quality,Reliability and safety features-I was once driving with a friend when i had to suddenly brake at 140kmph.My friend (who owned a desire)closed his eyes but found us absolutely compoesd and commented that Jazz ABS is way superior and that his car was sure to topple at that speed!

5.Great sounding music system-Jazz system has volume level from 1-50.u cant listen to it at 15 for more than 5 min!It beats all other factory fitted systems w/o sub woofer fitted.

6.Great aircon capable of handling indian summers.

7.Very affordable service and spares.

What the Jazz Lacks-

1.It is not a sedan-Not being a sedan can be shaan ke khilaf for most customers who merely want a sedan for jhoothi shaan.

2.Pricing-The varients are not priced cleverly.All varients have ABS,EBD,Airbags unlike the others who compromise safety for price edge.
