Honda Jazz (2015 - 2020) 1.3 i-VTEC SE Navi 5d Owner Review

This is the fourth Jazz I’ve owned. The previous Jazz had engine failure, but had covered 220000 well thrashed miles! I looked at other possibilities, Kia, Mercedes, Mazda but I like the flexibility of the Jazz magic seats. I narrowed the search down, tested a few and disregarded the CVT version because it lacked oomph. So I saw a Jazz in Northampton and decided to look at it. It was okay, but it was grey and looked a bit uninspiring, but the blue one I bought, well everybody loves the colour! Driving, well it’s a 1.3 but has reasonable acceleration; as for top speed, I don’t know as I haven’t been over 69mph! The car has similar power and torque characteristics as the legendary motorbike, the CB400F, from the 1970’s. That is, use the revs and change gear to keep it on pep. It isn’t a problem for me, but some reviewers don’t like this character. Inside, DAB radio is good, but using DAB stations isn’t straight forward, but digital FM is easy to use. The inbuilt Garmin Sat Nav is good, but does lack some features such as camera warning and voice command, or if these features are available, I haven’t found out how to use them yet, but it is Garmin and is the easiest inbuilt Sat Nav I’ve ever used. Seats are comfortable, the ride is comfortable and I love this car far more than I thought I would. In my opinion, this is an excellent buy and I thoroughly recommend the Honda Jazz.
