Full Review
I test drove the new Jazz last week and here are my observations that may help a few;
1/The first appearance is the car being well-built and practical.
2/ Innovative space utilisation is class leading
3/ The fuel economy (estimated) is class leading.
4/ Good a/c, nimble steering, lot of storage, airy
5/ The fist thing that puts you off is that you don't get much for what you pay. No driver seat adjust, Tilt steering does not have reach, no alloy wheels, no climate control a/c, no leather seats. All these are not even optional though you expect a manufacturer to provide these for what you pay.
6/ The engine sucks! With 4 people inside, it finds hard to pull in lower power band. The low end torque available is abysmal.You really have to keep working on the gears to keep moving in the city. This is due to max torque available around 4200-4500rpm.
7/ The rear visibility is very poor and women would find it very hard to drive this.
8/ The general advise is to stay away from this car unless you go for anything Honda. After all, it's your hard earned money and don't get cheated knowing you get LESS while paying MORE!
Would have loved to give a comprehensive report, but I'm short of time now. I hope it helps!
