Honda Jazz [2015-2018] User Reviews

Never thought of buying Honda make as i was previously using maruthi (gud at servicing and mileage everything), but JAZZ - the big guy packed up with nice features, improved with lot options like style, so much.

Without second thought I just go head with jazz, now im feeling happy that I have not made any mistake in buying  the BIG GUY.

Exterior Very much sporty look and head turner.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome and user adjustable features, can easily make 6 ppl to sit with average built body.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Slient Engine sound (HONDA's Classic), gear meshing also fine.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable ride since nice seating arrangements and power brakes for handling at high speed.

Final Words ITS AWESOME.

Areas of improvement Less Disadvantages, so any improvements in future models shall be an added advantage.

Drive Control, Nice road view, Fuel economy(yet to achieve), Head turner, Comfortably 6 can seat.Not much but spare wheel should have been same type as other 4 wheels

Exterior It's just wow. For me its better than Elite i20, Baleno even Amaze. Watch it's front wow, rear . Every angle is just awesome.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 100/100 for interior. I own this car after watching the interior and space. It's sedan from inside. Superb.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Here come the down for me in diesel. I purchased SV diesel. Problem is in pickup. But it;s with every car I guess in diesel. Cant compare with petrol. But yes 2nd gear has less power. As I just purchased it not even done 1st service fuel eco I am getting is 16.9 in city. I live in Delhi daily travelling from Dwarka to Gurgaon.

Ride Quality & Handling Super awesome. I have driven many cars but the ride quality and confort you get in Jazz you surly will be it's big fan like me.

Final Words Great car. I just love this car.

Areas of improvement Diesel engine has to to improved. Specially with it's Pickup and responsiveness.

Confort. Its like sittion in super luxry cabin. It has all wide glasses which give you super airy fePickup. I am not that impressive with the pickup although it's not that bad

This car is really worth for value and we feel comfortable during long journeys. Engine performance is so nice and smooth. Interiors are designed in well mannered. Exterior look is not much good as other hatchbacks, though it is worth for money. Also it is preferable for city rides and outside long journeys. Mileage is good . Transmission system is good. What makes it worth from other Honda cars is ‘LONG LIFE’ . Engine cc 1199 is worthable.

Exterior

 It looks Excellent from Front Angle. Piano Finish is Really Nice.

When compared to i20 i find Jazz looks better product overall.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The Reason I went with jazz is it gives Best space in this segment.

Very spacious for all the passengers. Rear AC vent could have provided. But Ac is sufficient.

Instrument cluster is very good nearly same as Honda city.

All power windows.

Back seat Thigh support is Better in i20 But Bench like Seating in jazz allows different seating postures in long drive. Headroom is good. Music system is ok. But they should have provided parking sensor. Reverse camera is not that much Helpful we lose concentration of surrounding.

Plastic quality is acceptable. 

Lots of cuppy holes is welcome.

No Start button,

No retractable key.

Spare key is Ordinary.

Seating Comfort is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Power Delivery in Lower Rpm Is low but once you drive past 2000 rpm it performs. Actually i think it’s intentional by Honda engineers for fuel Efficiency. But in Neck to neck Traffic it’s a Boon. Soon you will get used to it for this ratio. My petrol Engine is Butter smooth And zero noise in the cabin. Gear shift is Smooth.

Gives 12 KM/L in Chennai City Traffic 16.5 Km/L in Highway under 100 Km Speed.

in 120 to 140 Km Speed Range FE comes down to 14.5 KM/L

Ride Quality & Handling

 Easily reaches 130-140 Km in highway beyond this speed you feel a little unsafe Because of Smooth Ride and Low feedback From Steering. As soon i received the Car it felt like a bullock cart and very hard.

The Reason Being Tyre Pressure was kept above 40 PSI far beyond Prescribed 33 Front 31 Rear PSI.

Actually i exhausted All the Normal Air and Filled with Nitrogen air now the Car Flouts in the road Very smooth. Handling is very good.

incidentally a trailer tried to take U turn without any indication on the NH45 and abruptly stopped Midway after seeing my car 100+ KM speed even in the full breaking my old car would have resulted in going under the Trailer resulting in Grave situation even now I wonder how i could manure the vehicle with full breaking taking a very quick C Turn and avoided a big Accident. Lately i understood it’s the abs and Ebd At work Pl go with ABS.

My Older vehicle would have Spinned surely would have gone Under the Trailer.

God Saved Me and My Family.

Actually its the careless Drivers in huge vehicles with careless attitude for other polished vehicles.

In most of the Situations Lorries and trailers is very little to lose.

Final Words

I think it’s the overall Best small Family Vehicle.

Price I feel a little more than the competition. 

Overall it’s the best if you look in to the Under 10 Lakh Hatchback.

Actually Next Better Hatchback then this would Be Double triple of this cost.

Areas of improvement  

Start Button,

Magic Seats in all Variants.

1.3 litre Petrol Like its available in Abroad.

Low End torque.

Parking Sensors as standard (not as optional costs 5500 Rs in Honda Show room.)

Showroom Staff convincing us since Rear camera is available Parking sensor is unnessory.

I failed to understand then why Honda provides Parking sensors in Honda city which is already provided with Rear camera.

I learned it in hard way rear camera is no substitute for parking sensor.

Rear camera is useful for big pothole or Depth which Parking sensors can’t detect.

But Parking sensor makes it very easy and allows us concentrate on the surrounding like sideways without the need for looking away from surroundings and forcing us to look in to the car display.

Also default wide view is unrealistic. Half a feet distance falsely shown in camera like five foot distance making our brain to believe. Without physically looking back we surely will bang against the objects.

 

 

 

Smooth,Spacious.StylishLow End Pickup

Exterior Sporty looks and very sturdy, new style, LED tail lamp (New), front panel and rear design is good, chrome styling is done wherever is required not too giddy

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg space awesome, comfort, touch AC pannel (New), very good boot space high in this segment, AC is too good, dash board feel sitting in a sedan car, good music system, being small car the space inside the car is awesome, seats are very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Better performance on  city road as well as highway, best fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling The car get accelarate as we move the gear (from lower "3" to higher "4") . The ride quality is better than i20.

Final Words Great deal, If you are looking for fresh look and new Diesel engine from Honda 100% satified with car. Made right decision buying Jazzzzz.

Areas of improvement Auto power window on all windows which is offered by Skoda, projector headlamp, and DRL.

good fuel economy, space and comfort, great style, smooth drivinglow horn

Exterior

 Undoubtedly one of the most stylish and sporty looking vehicles out there. The Jazz/Fit did not become a global bestseller for Honda for no reason! 😎

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Even though the Jazz is the costliest vehicle in it's segment in the Indian market, some obligatory (now-a-days) features one would expect in a premium vehicle are missing such as keyless go (push-start), auto lock/unlock, driver armrest, DRLs.

Barring the above the Jazz has everything one would need and ask for and trust me when I say this, "This Car feels amazing to Sit in and Drive". There is acres of space everywhere, plenty of cupholders and cubby-holes, the boot is the segment leader, the automatic climate control (touch-screen) works like a charm, the AVN and touch-screen entertainment is great.

The dead-pedal however, actually looks like it's dead, cuz it is so low, you'd feel better keeping your foot in normal position instead of extending it to the "dead" pedal. LOL!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have read at places that the low end performance is a major concern however I would strongly emphasize on the fact that this is not a car one would buy for regular highway cruising and is instead a City vehicle. That said, I do not feel the low rpm performance is BAD, it sure could've been slightly better than what's on offer for now. A possible upgrade of the petrol to a 1.5 l engine in the future will surely have this fixed I believe. In it's present state, one might need to work the gears a bit (at slow speeds), unless you're good at coordinating the clutch release and the accelerator press. Once above the 200 rpm mark, this car goes like whoaaahh!

The gearbox feels clicky at times yet super-smooth n gives proper feedback, just like that of the Honda City. The fuel economy seems to be decent, I have been riding the car for 2 days (all in the horrible Hyderabad city traffic) and I see the mileage showing around 12 already.

Ride Quality & Handling

One word - IMPECCABLE!

One of the best ride experiences of my life, well, it's Honda after all guys! I would not have settled for anything lesser than this. Potholes and bums (unless large or hit in high speed) easily cross without much of a feel inside the cabin. The ABS is super-effective as I recall taking a 90 degree sharp turn at a speed of around 50 and there was absolutely no body-roll at all. The EBD works very good as well.

Final Words

if you're a Honda lover, prefer quality ride and drive, GO FOR IT!

Areas of improvement  

A few more features and a slight improvement in low end pick-up.

 

Space, comfort, ext looks, premium interior quality, magic seats, sporty spoiler, engine refinementlow rpm performance, no push-start, absence of Auto-lock(unlock), no driver armrest

Exterior

 Great looking car. Style and one box design just makes it class above. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Dashboard is super cool, stearing wheel is nice and responsive. Gearbox is light as well. Touch screen AC is responsive but its a durt magnet. Should come up with something better. Space is super good. Front, back and even boot.

Some basic things are missing though, like auto lock/unlock. Locking/unlocking sound. Reverse gear horn, push button start/stop, Arm rest. These are small small features but really necessary for the car of this class. Also the horn is very soft for indian condition. It looks like borrowed from global market where you most likely wont use the horn but not shootable for indian market.
 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Great response for city driving. Driven 500 kms on highway and I dont have any complains. Its not a macho man but breezy driving at 140 as well. I dont think driving above that range is safe in India and surely not safe for car of this size. 

So far I have driven 1000 km or so and not done any service. Its showing me nearly 25 on highway and 22-23 on city driving. Of course its winter time, so AC does not have to  burn up that much fuel but I would expect it to give 20 during high summer time. Hopefully after first serivce it would get even better. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Awesome, its typical honda. Just that diseal engine sound is little too much to my linking but nearly all diseal car does nearly the same. so not much to complain. you get used to it. 
 

Final Words

Great car for city driving and awesome economy for normal drivers who dont want to push it too hard.  

Areas of improvement  

 Some basic features should have been included and noise level should have been kept low for car of this price range. 

 

space, economy, dashboard, ride qualityNoise level, Auto lock/unlock missing, horn, Lock/Unlock sound missing

Exterior Honda's designs have always been decent and up to date and this is 3rd generation jazz with aero dynamic cuts and bold lines all over the body. Looks like a Honda city without boot.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No words. It is spacious than so many sedans in our market. Jazz has been known for space from its inception.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It is rear to get the combination of power and economy. 1.5L idtech delivers power and mileage at the same time. Thanks to Honda for their all new engine and technology. Power delivery is very linear in my opinion this helps Jazz in getting good fuel economy inspite of having a big engine.

Ride Quality & Handling No body roll what so ever. stiff and bold on highways. DRIVEABILITY IS THE BEST THING I LIKE IN JAZZ. I felt very bad when I drove my friends Chevrolet. Got addicted to Jazz's ride quality. In city u can be in 3rd gear from 25kmph to 80kmph. gear ratios are perfect.

Final Words Buy it without any other thought in mind. This is the best car all round. No compromise in any sphere.

Areas of improvement Pricing can be reduced as compared to competition.

Most powerful car with best mileage (average 24kmpl), spacious for family, quality engineeringmagic seats only on high end variant
