Honda Jazz (2002 - 2008) 1.4 i-DSi SE 5d (2005/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

The car is well built and completely reliable- whether these characteristics are shared with the owner is another matter.

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

Very impressed with it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes- I await the 2008 model with interest.

What are you likely to buy next?

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought privately. The franchised dealers second hand prices are remarkably close to new prices (in some cases actually more than new). Non franchised dealers offer little benefit when the Honda 3 year warranty is transferrable between owners.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Reputation for safety, flexibility and reliability

What was the dealer like?

Went to 2 dealers prior to private purchase. Both were very professional.

What's it like to drive?

Drives like a larger car- quite at ease on dual carriageway/motorway. Excellent around town.

What's it like to park?

Very good. Excellent visibility all round, Very tight turning circle comparable with a go-kart.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The complete carpet was replaced under warranty due to a known design defect that causes localised wear under the throttle pedal. This matter was dealt very professionally at Hondas cost.

What's most practical about your car?

Seats. The magic rear seats are innovative. The drivers seating position is also excellent- pleasantly high akin to a small MPV.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There are limited gadgets but it does have electric windows, good CD player etc,
