Honda Jazz (2008 - 2015) 1.4 i-VTEC ES 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

My wife worries more than I do that most Jazz owners seem to be older than us.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Surprised at its interior space. It appears a small car but it's tardis-like.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not really. It does what it says on the tin and it is extremely practical but it feels a bit utilitarian compared to other small cars available.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ford Fiesta.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,000

When did you buy the car?

August 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

The cost-to-change was within the budget we set, so that was good enough.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Easy-to-own second car.

What was the dealer like?

Straightforward. This was the fourth Honda we had bought from them.

What's it like to drive?

Okay for its purpose - short journeys and commuting to work. Engine quiet (inaudible at tickover) but noisy when pushed hard.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Excellent visibility and light steering.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No. The dealership picked up some kind of rear brakes issue (although we hadn't noticed it) at a 10,000 miles service. Repaired under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

Flexible seating options and boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Lift-up boot tray and net for carrying small/fragile luggage.
