Honda Jazz [2015-2018] User Reviews

Exterior Great.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Pleasant.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Need lot of improvemnet specially with Petrol Versions

Ride Quality & Handling Can Improve

Final Words AC cooling is not upto the mark with Indian Climate, Gear Shift is rough, While changing gears speed of AC Blower reduces / fluctuate. Horn sound changes with gear shift / Sound quality of Music System changes with Gear Shift / Gear Shift is not smooth.

Areas of improvement Constant current flow for gadgets on board right now if the fan of radiator starts, the blower speed reduces automatically.  Better Gear Shift, as shifting 3rd gear from 2nd is not smooth. Better AC for cooling is required as cabin of car is huge and AC installed is not adiquate for good cooling, A respectable horn installation is a must because if we press horn for 30 seconds or so the sound of horn diminishes, its just like old scooter's horn.  This is my new car purchased in August 2015 and basic issues as mentioned above are never expected from a brand like Honda.

Very Good Style, Very ComfortableAC, Horn, Gear Box, Pickup

Exterior By any angle, the exterior gives a rich look. The built on the outside attracts the most in this car. As it is said, shoes of a man and door of a car tells the status of the quality. You open the door of a car and you will feel its weight heaviness. While the other cars comes with car weight around 950KG in this segment, Jazz comes in 1070KG weight. The headlight is stolen from City and it sometimes confuses people from a front if it is a Jazz or a City. The tail lamp visibility from ORVM is superb. You can see the complete car from drive door till Tail lamp from ORVM. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Honda Slogan applies in this car too.... Maximum Man Minimum Machine. You sit in a car and get confused if it is a Hatch or a Sedan. Interior is similar to City so if you have less budget but you dream of a Sedan City, go for Jazz this will give you same confirt, happiness and honor of owening a Honda car. AC is always awesome in Honda cars. Driving is very confirtable and you dont feels bubbling even at 150Km/hr. Top speed noted in my car is 165km/Hr.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is my 2nd Car from Honda, other one is Brio, and I am very happy with the performance. You never hear the engine sound in the cabin. Car is butterly smooth and never let you done from any side. Brio gives you a practival mileage of around 16.5KM/L however being a much bigger car with same engine Jazz manages to give you a mileage around 16KM/L on highway and  15km/L in City with AC ON. Gearbox is always the attraction of Honda Cars. It is smooth and responsive.

Ride Quality & Handling I drove the car from Delhi to Nainital (Approx. 300Kms) and it was not at all painful or tiring. Till now 9000kms done on the car and no quality issues till now. The more you drive the more you love this car is my though about Jazz.

Final Words If you want to buy a car that you want to use for more than 10 years with best build quality then go for Honda Jazz. Dont go with people reviews, Please visit the nearest Showroom and experiene the amazing Jazz.

Areas of improvement Company could have used the Honda City engine in this car considering the size of the car. Sunroof addition in the car would give much more premium look to car.

Exterior 5/5.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 5/5.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Here it comes , Petrol - Very smooth and tuned enginee , no noise fuss at all. It got little lagging <2500 RPMs and later it is just BEAST , I don't see this is major issue at all, once it is picked up as I mentioned above its just beast.

AC - Its not fast , but cools down immediatley and moreover with AC you hardly see any milage drop that is BEST from HONDA , if you use AC with i20/Swift/ then gone no milage at all , but Jazz makes very good in this and should be.

Gearbox - Until first servicing you might see little hard in 1/2 gear but later that will be gone but its not that hard as you think , smooth and full clutch required , i would say Swift  holds bit on this.

Ride Quality & Handling I would say Jazz or Polo in this section . Ride quality is too good and handling, response from Steering is very good , never seen any jerk in that . I20 has heavy steering.

Final Words Finally A family car {People for 4/5 / 5.5} and looks good , feels good and drives good.

Areas of improvement Need features like i20 {Cosmatic } , Stop thinking that INDIAN's can't buy costly car , they can. If you  provide features for value of money you will be hit else failure.

Specious , less number of gear changes in City ,A family Mini MPVCost cutting by Honda from SV variant , provided rear wiper and put up plasti clot on metal

I am an owner of Honda City and wanted to go for other brand this time, but after my little research and testing of other cars in same segment I had no other choice then to go with Honda again. No regrets.

Exterior: Quite good with sporty touch may be a touch less then its compititor (hyundai) but it scores better in all other segments.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):  Well designed interiors, quite spacious and Honda's confort. Boot space is also good. I would say better interiors then many of the compititors in the same segment (specially hyundai).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine seems to be fine, fuel economy is decent in city @13.5 and goes up to 16.5 on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling: Great with handling and ride quality is also quite good for the city roads and traffic. No noise of engine (typically Honda). On highways the drive is smooth at speed of even 130+ Kmph.

Final Words: Over all a pretty good car for daily movement in city and scores well over its compititors in the same segment. 90% satisfied.

Areas of improvement: Bit of Power in the intial gears would have made this car a must buy in this segment.

 

 

Exteriors are quite good. Spacious and well designed interiors. Excellent handling in traffic.Not great for speed lovers. Lacks power on initial gears.

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.

Space,Comfort,Good Leg Room,Front Style.Pickup In low Gear

Exterior I don't know where to start. I have been eyeing this car since it was proposed to launch in India. It was like what so ever be the case. I am going to buy this. It was love at first sight ;) The Looks are great, sharp lines, big headlamps, elongated body (reflection of MUV), got Fog lamp in the SV model, nice honeycomb design grill what else. Big Tires (15") Superb LED tail lamps..and a smart use of Chrome highlights. You get nice metalic color options - bought Carnelion Red).. After almost 1.5 yrs of launch. Its look still make heads trun on the road.. You won't believe people have stopped me on roads or during Redlights to ask about the car or to give compliments... :) :)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All power windows (standard), Huge space (5 people gets easily accomodated), super comfortable seats (same as Honda City). seat height/position adjustment, Steering mounted controls (very easy to use), feather light steering (in low) you feel the stability (as required) during high speeds, 5" infotainment. wherein you can also save 3 pics as wallpaper and a BIG BIG BOOOT. [more then Dezire 329 ltr, Elite i20 (300 ltr), Baleno (330 appx)].

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear movement is very swift. However, you need frequent change, as it lags power in low revs (>2000 RPM). However, once you have crossed it. It zooms like a rocket, like Nitro boost. Fuel economy. I am owning this vehichle for past 4 months and I got 17 on highway (Delhi-Chandigarh).

Ride Quality & Handling Makkhan. Butter smooth.

Final Words It is a wonderful car for both City or Highway drive. You just need to learn how to control this beast. It will make you fall in love in no time. I gurantee you that you will not regret your decision after buying this beautiful beast ;)

Areas of improvement Engine tuning to give more power in lower gears/revs.

Looks, Space, Comfort, Features, No-noise cabin..Don't want to say..but it lacks power in low revs

I have purchased Jazz SV Petrol before 6 months and driven almost 6000 kms. I read one article regarding "to get better fuel efficiency" and the same things I applied on my Jazz car and I got mileage of near 20.0 km/l on highway😄 while company is claiming 18.7 km/l. So its really good. I think all of us can get better mileage by applying following things;

1. Drive your car in between 70 km/hr to 75 km/hr.
2. Always try to catch 5th gear within 1500 rpm.

I have driven this car 500 kms on a single day but didn't feel tired due to its comfortable seats. Only one disadvantage observed that it has very low torque, so I request Honda company to improve this in upcoming model.

Boot space is also so much classy that it can store a much luggage. Cup holders are very much sufficient to keep water bottles. Rear AC require in upcoming model as Jazz has so much space.

Having Good Fuel Efficiency and seats are very comfortable especially for long drive.Low torque

Love to drive.. Very Comfortable.. Looks different and I like it. Value for the money. I drove it nearly 45000. Cons: I just don't like that Honda gives MRF tyres ?? And I don't like logic behind Spare wheel size. I know technically they are showing that thinking about customer. But last trip when I was driving somewhere my rear Tyre was blown away and I have to drive 250 km with spare wheel As it was night time I didn't find any store for tyre. And as you know they give 1" small size Tyre on which you should drive 100km not more than that and with the speed of 80max. And next day I have to buy 2 wheel coz spare wheel is for spare only.

I have been driving this car from last one year. From Daily office trips to long distance journeys, I have done all. Its no doubt a good companion. Looks like a long car, but trust me, it fits everwhere 😝

Exterior This is one of the top reasons I chose Jazz as my first car. Superb styling, and some people don't like it, but I love it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Pros

Its spaciouuus, and it really is. Challenges higher segment cars. Loads of leg room, you can just stretch out a lot. Lot of spaces to keep your things, even a small bottle holder, helps me in driving. An arm rest is the only miss. Basic entertainment system is good, with phone connectivity and a nice rear camera(I don't even look in the side mirrors).

Cons

AC is a problem here. Takes time to cool. And mine just broke after 3 months, and took 5 visits to get it fixed. But now it works.

And this one is a pain: Rear suspension . Makes life hell on a bad road for back seat passengers. Potholes or speed breakers feels a lot. Honda says its normal, but you will feel better back seat suspension in lower segment cars. Wish they could have made it better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The pick ups are a bit lethargic, but once it picks up speed its smooth, and very stable at higher speeds. Gearbox is not that smooth though, but you will get used to it.

After 3rd or 4th service the mileage improves. Currently I am getting mileage of 14kmpl on city roads, and goes till 17kmpl on good Highway (thats it).

Ride Quality & Handling You won't feel any tiredness in long journeys. I easily stretch out for longer distances without any brakes. Handling is good too, and at higher speeds it totally feels under your control. Yes but take care of back seat passengers on potholes.

Final Words Its an awesome car as i said, with a loads of spaces and best car for your family, where you can go for outings with many bags. I would suggest it totally, only if they solve below mentioned problems.

Areas of improvement Yes sir, please improve the AC and rear seat suspensions, if you are syaing its normal.
