2007 Honda Jazz VTi review from Australia and New Zealand
"An honest and reliable vehicle that will be around for a while. It will never be sporty or luxurious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some creaks and a rattling noise have developed inside the dash not long after taking delivery of the car. It gets worse on warmer days.
Electric air con could be cooler.
General comments?
Think of Jazz as a scaled down van and you will not be disappointed. It's spacious and frugal.
The primitive rear suspension layout and rock hard setting compromise both comfort and handling.
The EPS (electronic power steering) feels lifeless.
The relatively tall seating position allow you to get in and out of the car with ease. While the oversized controls on dash are cartoonish, they are easy to use.
It is probably the better representation of small vehicles. But design compromises mean it is not as refined or evolved as vehicles in a bigger class.
