2005 Honda Jazz S review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent package, value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
After 30 years with Toyota and a slight disappointment with the Yaris (a second car) I am overwhelmed by everything the Jazz has to offer.
The engine needs to be worked in 2nd to top gear if brisk acceleration is required.
I read many reports citing harsh rear suspension, Honda must have addressed this problem in later models.
The fit and finish are excellent, it's the first car I have ever had where my wife can close door first & every time.
I consider the 1.2 S model good value for money and it's £1900 cheaper than the 1.4. with only 6 bhp between them.
The car is quiet at motorway speeds and cruises happily at the legal limit at 3100 rpm.
The electric power steering takes a little time to get used to.
Internal dimentions are excellent (I am 6 foot). The arrangements of the seating are versatile and are easily operated.
