Honda Jazz (2008 - 2015) 1.4 i-VTEC Si 5d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a person that values reliability and practicality.

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

For a "small" car they are surprised by how big it seems especially on the inside.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, but only because with a 2 small kids and a MIL I have outgrown the car. By the time I need to downsize I would prefer more power and refinement than offered in the Jazz. However for a small family on a budget I would definitely recommend the Jazz.

What are you likely to buy next?

Honda CR-V (purchased).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£13,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

First time buying a new car so wasn't experienced enough in haggling but as it came in under the Whatcar target price I was happy. It came with 3 years free servicing and road tax plus it was on interest free finance.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a small, cheap, reliable and practical car.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent.

What's it like to drive?

Around town it's very easy to drive. On motorways it's very noisy. Going up steep inclines requires downing shifting.

What's it like to park?

Even without parking sensors the car is easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Car has never let me down.

What's most practical about your car?

The amount of space for such a small car is incredible. The doors opening practically 90 degrees is very handy with getting kids in and out of car seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Magic folding seats have come in handy.
