After test driving couple of cars like Baleno, Ford Aspire, I test drove Honda Jazz which was not in my list at all. I wanted a Petrol car due to my Low running usage . With some huge discounts, attractive gifts and Honda Brand , I went and booked this car. As it was readily available , I didn't have waiting period as well.
The most likeable part of Honda Jazz (Silver color) was its side profile design and humongous space inside. Actually i feel its really worth considering since even in SV model , (one higher up model than base model ), you get inbuilt reverse camera , LCD screen , Steering mounted controls, One push window up and down for driver side , Alarm to notify that Headlamp is on when you turn off the engine and remove the key, Airbags and lot of kink knacks holding space and more for 8lk range.I think its a steal deal .
Pros: super silent petrol engine which kicks up once it reaches 2500 rpm. Excellent Highway vehicle. Effortless driving , Big Boot space and quite sturdy. Surprisingly ground clearance is good too.
Cons: Mileage is sub par when compared to other cars in this range . City it gives around 12-13 km and in Highway 16-17 km. Also the performance is very poor in low rpms. I mean when you suddenly slow down and change the gear from 4th to 2nd , it takes time to pick up speed. Service cost is bit on higher side . Around 9-10 K per year.
My final verdict is , barring few Cons, This car is worth buying . Especially for its space and features.
