Honda Jazz New Aaccommodates
The old Jazz was excellent. This is even better. Challenges the Fiesta for sexiness too, The Honda Jazz accommodates all your needs in a truly advanced personal car. Boasting an optimum balance between a sporty exterior and a spacious cabin, the Jazz gives great flexibility in all aspects of the drive. Jazz’s ULTRA Seats and interior design focuses on comfort and ease of use, with a remarkably spacious and roomy interior not usually seen with such a sleek and sporty exterior.
Available in both a 1.3L and 1.5L spirited i-VTEC engine, the Honda Jazz prides itself on a superior balance between power and fuel efficiency. Just take a ride in the next generation Honda Jazz and discover for yourself a car that satisfies all the contradictory needs in terms of design, performance, handling, and quality.
Celebrating a decade of production, the Honda Jazz has this year received a mild nip and tuck to keep fit its ageing design. The first major change since the current series was introduced in 2008, all 2011 models add LED tail lamps, mesh-look grille (which is shaped to resemble a 'happy face', sigh), and, on up-spec models, new look bumpers, side skirts and front fog lamps.
The Jazz VTi, as tested, also scores a revised wheel pattern for its 15-inch alloys, include a matching spare (good one, Honda), gunmetal grey grille treatment and, inside, a satin look centre stack. USB connectivity and A-pillar-mounted Bluetooth device are also standard.
If we had to be picky, the USB plug and Bluetooth system do look decidedly like an afterthought. The inconveniently positioned Bluetooth device is especially annoying at night when its bright blue 'on' light distracts your vision (we ended up switching it off). Also irritating was the constant and bright orange illumination of the centre stack which does not dim in sync with the instrument panel.
Where it counts, however, Jazz's interior space, array of oddment storage compartments and versatile rear seats make the little car a clear standout in the category. Cargo space totals 337-litres (or 848 with seats down). The front pews are also wonderfully comfortable, even if the blue/black cloth clashes visually with the Fresh Lime paint of our test car. With four-wheel discs assisted by antilock, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution and six airbags (including full-length curtains), three-point seatbelts and stability and traction control, Jazz earns top marks in ANCAP testing. Its overall score 35.1 from a possible 37.
On test, Jazz also scored well in the fuel economy stakes, adhering closely to its combined average with a 6.9L/100km result (the official figure quotes 6.7L/100km).
