2003 Honda Jazz SE Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Overhyped heap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The back door is dropping on it's hinges.
The back "magic seat" has collapsed.
Air conditioning smells bad and does not cool the car.
Water comes through the hole for the aerial and makes the car damp.
The interior squeaks and rattles.
The panel gaps are uneven.
The paint is seriously bad quality.
It broke down at 7400 miles and when the AA came to my house he said dealing with Hondas is his bread and butter.
General comments?
The fuel economy figures are all lies, if you want to keep up with traffic it easily drops to 32MPG.
It is uncomfortable, and really slow, on the motorway with anything near full load you will be lucky to get to 70MPH. A problem my Fiat never had. This is probably due to the miserable amount of torque it produces.
It is generally looking tired now with many stone chips and the thin metal easily picks up parking dents.
