హోండా జాజ్ [2018-2020] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

1. Buying experience: I had excellent support from Manasarovar Honda,Porur, Chennai, especially from its staff Sarita Mam. Starting from test drive to finalisation she worked excellently and had unforgettable moments. 2. Riding experience: I own VX petrol version. I had a long drive about 1100 km which involved a non stop 550 kms. I was in little bit fear if engine could give trouble if driven a long distance. Hence happened to call service engineer to get suggestion, he advised me to drive normally using some gear changes often. Honda manual suggested not to suddenly accelerate the engine for first 1000 kms, and also advised to avoid full throttle while driving. I followed it , drive was smooth. I maintained the speed at 2200 to 2600 rpm and the odo meter needle was moving between 65km and 80km. During drive at downhill rpm sometimes went to 3000 at this point it showed 100 km speed in meter , it was one or two instance only. For most part I maintained the speed between 70 and 80 km. Drive was smooth, no tiredness felt during drive, automatice climate control worked excellently during low temperature outside the car (9 to 11degrees).- i could notice aircon working perfectly with pumping cooling and heat automatically wherever required. The early morning ride in mist was not at all felt in car. Suspensionn is good, you can have a commanding view of the road from cabin except the area covered by A pillars. Blue tooth connectivitywith phone was perfect while driving to manage calls. I was able to connect my Ipod thru the usb port proveded for Apple carplay and Android auto. Audio quality is better than blue tooth when connected thru usb ports. 3. Look and performance: when seen from front the car is more elegant in design, and the side profile is top notch. Peformance is better than i20 ( petrol) and Polo ( petrol) but not comparable to one or two competitors which is only because of low kerb weight of the competitors' car, nothing else. Yes the vehicle is decently weighed ( 1046 kgs for VX ) , maruti baleno is only 860 kgs. Due to low kerb weight maruti gains advantage in initial pick up and mileage but when coming to ride quality and safety Maruti's cars are nowhere close to Honda Jazz. You can feel the stability and precise turning in corners in Honda Jazz. But Jazz is a rev happy engine, i was driving in top gear at 70 km speed, i could notice the vehicle crossing the a steep in 5th gear , speedo meter needle just came down to 65 km from 70 km thats it. I dont like the bottom end performance of the car, once you cross 2000 rpm the ivtech engine handles you well. One time there was 2 persons in cabin with their luggage for a long drive, I had to apply sudden brake fat 70 km and speed dropped to 35 km while 5th gear was engaged. I tried accelerating without down shifts, yes it did well effortlessly without any jerk or noice. It gives good mileage when driven between 70 and 80 km depending upon the road conditions. I was able to reach 80 km speed in less than 2500 rpm. i took the average Mileage in my instrument cluster to 19 km per litter but after reaching home I topped up the tank and the practical mileage for 1000 kms in highways was 17.8 km. This includes a city drive of 50 kms and uphill drive of 15 kms. Mileage trick is only with the driver, not in vehicle. Pros and cons: Pros - smooth engine, good ride quality, suspension, decent mileage, brank image of Honda, Safety, Top end power of the car, Airy cabin, spacious cabin and rear leg room and boot. Cons - Bottom end power, idling speed ( my car idling speed was only 500rpm). But overall you wont hate the car if your choice is Jazz. I will write another review after few more thousand kms done.
