Honda Jazz [2015-2018] User Reviews

I feel sorry to bring to notice of public, the hidden fact about supplied spare part with new launch Honda Jazz- 2016 top model for which Honda has never mentioned about this limitation of Jazz car in any of its brochures/documents/advertisement.

 I have purchased a top model of Honda Jazz VX-MT ( i-VTECH ) Petrol car from Joshi Automotives Pvt. Ltd. -Harmony Honda, #67, Ind. Area, Phase-2, Chandigarh manufactured in January 2016. (Chassis No. MAKGK773AG4003448, Engine No. L12B41023462). 

During delivery of car I was told that the spare tyre is of different make MRF whereas all four fitted tyres are of “Good Year” make. The delivery checklist states that the “Make of spare tyre may be of different from make of the other 4 tyres”. But it was also found that the spare tyre is of small rim size-14 inch and with different size tyre (175/70 R14) whereas all other tyres are of size 15 inch (175/65 R15)
The dealer explained that small size spare wheel (14') is supplied as an emergency wheel and reason given is to visually remind you to get the damaged tyre repaired at the first opportunity.
I am not convinced with the given logic as the spare tyre is always used for periodic rotation with other tyres. I have never seen such small spare tyre as supplied by Honda for this model and didn’t find any reason why only for Jazz car this type small tyre is supplied.

The dealer was unable to show me in writing anywhere that for the top model of Jazz the spare tyre supplied with the car may be of different size/ specification as Honda has hidden this feature from public whereas all other small features are highlighted. Dealer’s sales persons has expressed inability to change the tyre. This type of hidden specification was never expected from such a reputed company-Honda  This type of hidden limitation shall be shared with public so that people like me may know this model limitation in advance before planning to buy this model.  
Company should replace the spare tyre with original size tyre and rim to promote its sales.

Exterior I have planned to buy new car since last one year and I read lot of reviews, suggestions from various company cars and finally decided to Choose Jazz 15. In my mind I have taken considerion of i20 Asta, Datsun Go+, Cheverlot Enjoy and Maruti Swift. After physically examined with My frineds and relatives I finally choosen the Jazz 2015. The exterior looks impressed me a lot when I first see the car in the showroom. Every angle it gives a great look and eye catching style.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lot of Boot space, very good seat cushion and rear head room is great. My car is petrol top variant and it has complete black seats which gives real premium feel. Music system is excellent. AC cools the cabin very quickly. Auot climat control, lot of cup / bottle holders are good.  Magic seat is lovely and my kids wanted to fold everytime in flat position to sit and play.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A little bit nosiy in the cabin but it's not distrub and feel while in driving. Still I have not completed my fisrt service and the mileage is 11 in city 14 in highway.  

Ride Quality & Handling I am not a professional, expert in driving at all. This is my fisrt car and now I'm feeling like a master b"cauz it's so cute to handling in the city trafic. Good control and smooth while drive in the high way @ 100 kmph.

Final Words Really I am proud that I am having a good car.

Areas of improvement The same as everyone saying that the response in low speed. It doesn't quick pick up at 2nd to 3rd gear. Poor horn sound like a baby ping pong.

Exterior Looks depends on individual choice but i like this mini MPV sporty look much and i opted for it. It looks really world class...😎

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good interior and all sensible feature in this class, best dash panel in this segment and space is huge, automatic AC and instant fuel economy indicator and lots more make a very comfortable cabin, it has very good headroom and window open area which both are again highest in this segment. You will never find the cabin clumsy (which i feel with its competetitors).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It rocks at high speed but Honda could have done some more improvement in lower RPM. But steering wheel response, gear shifting are really good or best i would say. Leg space is huge you can seat comfortably in a long drive (in this most of the car in this segment lacks). I have petrol top end the engine is very smooth no noise.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is excellent no doubt. Honda is known for this. I can see road very well no problem at all. It rocks in highway you can easily reach 130..150km/h

Final Words Make you life Jazzfied...enjoy with Jazz

Areas of improvement Engine tuning at lower RPM, Honda should provide more power between 2..4 gears. Which can be better for city traffic.

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.

Exterior

 Not that build hard model like the old Jazz.  But feels good compared to its rivals.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Ya its the best car for a long drive. so quiet. superb seats. u or the passengers wont be tired.  lots of space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Till 2000 rpm u will find this vehicle as a lazy one.  Too slow to pick up.  But once it reach that range it shows its power.  so while in city drive i usually have to work more with the gears. but i can drive at 40km/h at my fifth gear without a knock.  smooth car. On the mileage side, i m getting 11.5 kmpl on city and 11.8 kmpl in highway (both case ac is on)

Ride Quality & Handling

 Superb

Final Words

 If u like to have a family hatchback, like to go for long rides, this is the car.  If u use this car for daily purpose in city, better u dont go for this car.

Areas of improvement  

 Engine to be upgraded, a little bit power more required and yes the mileage also, honda realy have to work in the mileage side.

Exterior Refreshingly new,standouts int he crowd,special thanks to Honda. The racy front grill and lines to the sides are really eye turners. Often mistook for Honda City looking from front.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Supreme ride quality in the segment,lots of space ,airy and bright cabin. Superb AC, rear seat can be adjusted in a zillion ways.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Slow of the block, ideal for family use, best in class fuel economy suprised me with 16-17 per litre, excellent high revving typical honda engine and gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Soothing ride,handling is excellent. Very stable at high speeds, feather light steering for city and gets weighted as speed increases, good cornering abilty with managable body roll.

Final Words For those who want to stand out in the crowd, not for racing, good for family,Drives like a wind when pampered through the gears, revv it up and the engine comes alive, I have made a very good decision to get a very good quality honda product

Areas of improvement Could have 1.5 petrol but mileage could take a hit.

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.
