Honda Jazz 1.4i-DSI SE 5d (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not the cheapest supermini, but makes up by being as big inside as a car a class above. Good standard equipment
Costs
Replaced standard Yokohama tires at 23K. £135 for Uniroyals. First service 12K £130, Second 24K £240. Dealer did very little. Fuel cost, Insurance, Tax and Depreciation are all as low as you will get. No expensive timing Belt to change either, has chain.

On the road
Driving
Easy and fun to drive, handles nicely. Well placed controls with exception of door mirror control which cant be reached with head in driving position. Need to lean forwards. Good gear change but its sometimes possible to crunch it going for 2nd.
Performance
Could do with being just a little faster. Economy - Keep it below 3000 rpm and get 45mpg in town or more on a run. Raise above this (3000 is 62mph in top) and economy goes down hill very fast. Not so economical or fun on Motorway, Great everywhere else.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down, doubt it ever will.
Image
Car is very impersonal only one trim and few color options so your Jazz will be the same as your neighbors. Slightly effeminate styling. Imagine it will appeal to the elderly more than the young.
Comfort
Seats 4 6ft adults in comfort. 5 adults will get in. Front seats and driving position good. Rear seats fold with minimal effort. Fabric and trim are OK but threes only one choice. There's a lot of plastic about and no mats in the storage areas.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks but only one remote keyfob provided and no alarm. Crash test results now I believe are only average.
