Honda Jazz (2002 - 2008) 1.4 i-DSi SE 5d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Solid and reliable. Not a young persons car, but not pensioner material either.

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

They think it's great. So much so, two of our freinds have also purchased a Jazz!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. The car inspires confidence in terms of the overall quality of it's engineering, the dealer is reliable (we've had trouble with VW and Vauxhall dealers in the past), and the car is cheap to run.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another jazz or possibly a Civic.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£10,200

When did you buy the car?

February 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

There is'nt much haggling to be done on the Honda Jazz. We did get a small discount, and 'free' metallic paint (total saving of approx £600).

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Previous good experience with Honda. Good dealer. Problems with the car it replaced (VW Polo)

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful, and not the least bit pushy. We had purchased 2 other cars from the dealer (Accord and CRV). We've always found them reliable.

What's it like to drive?

The Jazz is no ball of fire, but the engine pulls well and is very smooth. I know the ride quality has been criticised in the past, but we find it acceptable.

What's it like to park?

For a small car, it can be awkward to park. Rear visibility is not great, and we ended up returning to the dealer to have rear parking sensors fitted.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing at all.

What's most practical about your car?

Great interior space for it's size. 'Magic seats' create even more flexibility.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Latest model has MP3/ipod connection, which is very popuplar with our children. The audio system is very good for a supermini.
