Honda Jazz (2002 - 2008) 1.2 i-DSI S 5d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Who knows, I am past caring about image.

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

Those who travel in it frequently inevitably start to respect it

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - it has done everything that I have expected and through its reliability and low fuel consumption it is probably the cheapest car I have ever owned. It is very easy to forget that it only cost £8K and I frequently benchmark it favourably against considerably more expensive cars that I have owned.

What are you likely to buy next?

I intend to keep it until it drops to pieces. Who knows what will be around in 10-15 years time. Hopefully some electric cars that work in the "real world" !

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£8,100

When did you buy the car?

December 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes - the car was bought through Drive the Deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It came down to a choice between this, a Grand Punto and a Corsa. Honda's reputation for reliability won the day.

What was the dealer like?

Did not want to know - probably because they were just supplying the car. Parked at the back of the dealership behind used cars which had to be moved for me to drive away.

What's it like to drive?

Very refined and comfortable. Drove 3K miles to Greece and back last summer without any problems.

What's it like to park?

A doddle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Complete reliability since new.

What's most practical about your car?

Interior space and the size of the boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It is the base model and is pretty basic but the CD player is good. Rear seats fold completely flat.
