you Can't go Wrong with this car

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.
