Honda Jazz (2008 - 2015) 1.3 IMA HS Hybrid 5d CVT (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Someone who likes something different.

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

I don't really care as it suits me and my missus and it outperforms loads of more expensive cars.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely especially with the 60mpg I can get around town driving.

What are you likely to buy next?

Honda Jazz.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Reasonable trade in on my Mercedes CLK, dealer threw in floor mats and full tank of fuel.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Quirkiness, unusual.

What was the dealer like?

Helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Comfortable, in sport mode it surprises many sports style cars with good off the line acceleration and midrange torque/overtaking speed. Quiet at motorway speeds as well. Good brakes and predictable handling.

What's it like to park?

Dead easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Drivers door seal replaced free by dealer although due to wear caused by myself. I tend to rub against it entering/exiting the car due to being well built.

What's most practical about your car?

Versatility, changed the bathroom suite at my house and even the old/new bath fitted into the Jazz. I also love the rear seat cinema style seats as you can put a drop leaf table across the back that I had to pick up without going in through the hatch entry.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

MP3 input. CVT 7 speed gearbox plus sport and paddleshift options. Electric "kerrs" style motor assistance.
