Test Drive It, It will change your Perception

 

My First Impression about Jazz was very much like other people, who have mentioned about the negative aspects of JAZZ, but my entire perception changed when I technically had the first view of HONDA JAZZ in the showroom in Pune. From surface you tend to have negative impression, but further as you deep dive into the creative aspects of the Japenese minds, you get convinced about the precision, finish, creativity and further its price.

 

Exterior Very well aerodynamics, Decent body contours ( Typical Japenese), Very well designed Headlights & Tail Lamps. Required or rather much more ground clearance for Indian Riding Conditions. Very Balanced NVH ( Needless to mention, as its HONDA after all). Alloy Wheels complete the final touch to give this baby a trendy / sporty look.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) IP is better than Honda CITY. Music System & Controls are very futuristic designed (Hats off to the Stying team). Steering Wheel is very very sporty. Speedometers are very attractive. Seat Height Adjuster was missing in the earlier version, which is available now, which is a Plus Point.

I have worked in the Automotive Industry from last 10 years, hence would like to say, that the fit and finish of Plastic Parts is just better than Perfect in the category of Hatchbacks available in India. Truely crafted for the style specific Species.

View from any seat and direction is amazing, especially the driver seat view is very driver friendly. You get the feel of all glass view even in the second row, which is a very pleasant feeling, specially for small children ( They Enjoy the non -obstructed view in all directions) 

Minor utility aspects are majorly address. MAGIC Seats is the most important feature of this vehicle, which makes  it a perfect family car.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Woul have appreciated, to have 1.4 Litre Engine At least...! Feels Sloppy in the first & second gear, but responsive in the third and fourth gear. Mileage always depends from person to person driving, but the average KMPL expected is 15 min. in the city condition with A/C on.

 

Ride Quality & Handling GOOD. As expected from HONDA Stables.

 

Final Words Costly. but will not dissappoint you for sure, especially if you are ready to spend more, for much more, that JAZZ will deliver for sure. Not worth comparing with any other indian Hatchback, as the thinking process gone in designing this CAR is way head than the rest of the breed.

 

Areas of improvement HONDA needs some cost effective Value engineering done, to match the market desired price, so that the Automobile lovers can enjoy HONDA product at reasonable price. Needs atleast another 1 Lac drop to boost Jazz's Sales.
