Honda Jazz [2018-2020] User Reviews

1. Buying experience: I had excellent support from Manasarovar Honda,Porur, Chennai, especially from its staff Sarita Mam. Starting from test drive to finalisation she worked excellently and had unforgettable moments. 2. Riding experience: I own VX petrol version. I had a long drive about 1100 km which involved a non stop 550 kms. I was in little bit fear if engine could give trouble if driven a long distance. Hence happened to call service engineer to get suggestion, he advised me to drive normally using some gear changes often. Honda manual suggested not to suddenly accelerate the engine for first 1000 kms, and also advised to avoid full throttle while driving. I followed it , drive was smooth. I maintained the speed at 2200 to 2600 rpm and the odo meter needle was moving between 65km and 80km. During drive at downhill rpm sometimes went to 3000 at this point it showed 100 km speed in meter , it was one or two instance only. For most part I maintained the speed between 70 and 80 km. Drive was smooth, no tiredness felt during drive, automatice climate control worked excellently during low temperature outside the car (9 to 11degrees).- i could notice aircon working perfectly with pumping cooling and heat automatically wherever required. The early morning ride in mist was not at all felt in car. Suspensionn is good, you can have a commanding view of the road from cabin except the area covered by A pillars. Blue tooth connectivitywith phone was perfect while driving to manage calls. I was able to connect my Ipod thru the usb port proveded for Apple carplay and Android auto. Audio quality is better than blue tooth when connected thru usb ports. 3. Look and performance: when seen from front the car is more elegant in design, and the side profile is top notch. Peformance is better than i20 ( petrol) and Polo ( petrol) but not comparable to one or two competitors which is only because of low kerb weight of the competitors' car, nothing else. Yes the vehicle is decently weighed ( 1046 kgs for VX ) , maruti baleno is only 860 kgs. Due to low kerb weight maruti gains advantage in initial pick up and mileage but when coming to ride quality and safety Maruti's cars are nowhere close to Honda Jazz. You can feel the stability and precise turning in corners in Honda Jazz. But Jazz is a rev happy engine, i was driving in top gear at 70 km speed, i could notice the vehicle crossing the a steep in 5th gear , speedo meter needle just came down to 65 km from 70 km thats it. I dont like the bottom end performance of the car, once you cross 2000 rpm the ivtech engine handles you well. One time there was 2 persons in cabin with their luggage for a long drive, I had to apply sudden brake fat 70 km and speed dropped to 35 km while 5th gear was engaged. I tried accelerating without down shifts, yes it did well effortlessly without any jerk or noice. It gives good mileage when driven between 70 and 80 km depending upon the road conditions. I was able to reach 80 km speed in less than 2500 rpm. i took the average Mileage in my instrument cluster to 19 km per litter but after reaching home I topped up the tank and the practical mileage for 1000 kms in highways was 17.8 km. This includes a city drive of 50 kms and uphill drive of 15 kms. Mileage trick is only with the driver, not in vehicle. Pros and cons: Pros - smooth engine, good ride quality, suspension, decent mileage, brank image of Honda, Safety, Top end power of the car, Airy cabin, spacious cabin and rear leg room and boot. Cons - Bottom end power, idling speed ( my car idling speed was only 500rpm). But overall you wont hate the car if your choice is Jazz. I will write another review after few more thousand kms done.

I was looking for an alternate car as my drive is 80km per day on the highway. Wagon R was not feeling safe, so I started searching out for a car that is safe and is meant for a long drive. I test drive Baleno and it does not suit me because of my height rearview mirror was blocking my left side view. Also the body material looks filmsy. Next, I test drive I20 the car was awesome it has good low gear performance however its has dead steering. Steering was not giving any feedback. Next, I test drive Polo again low height and cramped space does not suit me. Lastly, with no option in hand, I went to take a test drive of Honda Amaze.The executive from crystal Honda invite me to their showroom and shows me all the model.I was under impression that Honda jaaz is underperformed due to 1.2 mill on this large body and also sales number is very low. They ask Me to test drive,on sitting inside I am impressed with the space it has. Once hitting the road I notice the car is underperformer and struggles in 1 and 2 gear. However once in 4 and 5 th gear it shows its power. The car has very good suspension and awesome stability on the road. The steering feedback is excellent.The windshield gives wide view of the road The Aircon cools the cabin within a few minutes. So Jazz wins my heart. Now it has been 2 years I am driving jazz petroleum Manual V clocked 35k.This car so far never let me down .The only disadvantage is low rpm struggle and short gear for 1 and 2.This car has ample of space you need and excellent driving controls..NCAP 5 rating star . Ideal hatchback and never looks outdated.

Good: Superb mileage, rear seat space, interior look, handling, adeqaute bottle holders.

Bad: Acceleration, cooling glove box.

Area to be Improved: Rear wiper, rear adjustable head rest, fornt arm rest I am having diesel version sv model and completed 56000kms. Rear seat is very spacious and comfort but missed out adjustable head rest and arm rest nowadays people who are going for long journey needs it. I am getting mileage of 24kms in highways and 21 in traffic(console reading). While chasing we need to reduce gear ratio bcz itz a very low responsive engine at the time engine noise inside cabin is higher, frequent gear sifting making me angery. While coming to running cost for each and every service we have to spend 8k-10k rupees.

Swift: Good acceleration, good mileage.

Ford Freestyle: Good acceleration, less rear seat space and decent mileage.

JAZZ: UNDER POWER, SUPERB MILEAGE, SPACIOUS.

I have purchased VX MT Petrol model. I am writing this review after 5000Km usage.I have short llisted Nexon XM ,Elite I20, Baleno, all petrol models.My budget was 9L onroad in Bangalore.Me & my wife liked Honda Jazz very much due to its design and huge cabin & boot space it offers.I20 removed from list because of Asta missing some features like Rear wiper, adjustable head rest etc. and Asta (O )was costlier than Jazz VX MT I20 petrol cones : I20 have less milage,steering feedback was less, Highway pick is less than Jazz.(Initial pick up is better than Jazz) Body structure is not stable in crash tests. Baleno: Rejected due to safety issue.Weak body. Can't digest making customer fool by crumble zone technology. Nexon I liked this product but rejected due to its huge size and milege issues and had a concern about its newly developed engine reliability. My experience with Honda Jazz After long research I purchased this vehicle. Buying experience was horrible from Honda dealer. Delivery: When I just reaching the car parking area the car stopped,due to lack of petrol.My home was just 5Km from the dealer.The sale's guy was assured 5L petrol is in tank. Imagine if I was strucked in Bangalore traffic with new vehicle. Can't imagine.This is d negligence of Honda dealer.(Finally I called sales agent he came & filled petrol,but they could have avoided if they taken care) Riding experience, It is my first car.The engine is very very smooth,at idle we have to look at the tachometer to check whether engine is on or not..The low end torque was less but we will get used with it. High way performance is good.Upto 120Kmph tried but no problem, vehicle is very stable. I went my native place 3 times with this car oneway distance is 310Km.The journey including highway and 20Km ghat section.I am not faced any problem in ghat section eventhough the torque is less.The milage last time I got 17Kmpl with AC.The ground clearance was adequate not faced any scrapping issue. Over all I am satisfied with my car performance. Maintenance :In 3rd service for synthetic oil change and ac filters cleaning 2300 charged ,next paid paid service is in June.Yearly maintenance cost wil be 7000 to 10000.My friend I10 costing same.So I don't think Honda that much costly to maintain as people says.But compare to Maruthi it is costly. Pros, 1)Honda's sweet Ivtec petrol engine. 2) Spacious interior and bootspace354L 3)Large glass area & excellent views suitable for long journey. 4)Devent mileage 5)Honda reliability 6)Safe platform same as Honda City, so stable structure. Safer than I20 and Baleno. Cons 1) Costly compared to Baleno 2) Attitude of Honda dealer 3)Poor low end torque.

Amazing fuel economy# I drive a Jazz Diesel my machine# Have complete 65k with a longest one side journey of 920 kms. After my last servicing took a drive from Pune to Mumbai on the express way, the fuel economy was 32.2 kms/ ltr was just amazing. Hence decided to make share my review. Must buy incase to want to buy premium hatchback# same engine as city and best suited for city and long journey. Power with 1.5 ltr engine just too good.

We ticked a list of features before purchasing a car the features we're 1 automatic, 2 good space 3 good boot space 4 OK fuel economy 5 automatic climate Control and cruize control and we were not disappointed at all. This is the best buy in a budget of less than 10 lakhs.

Great refined car with superb silent engine and best comfort. I was bit confused in selection of car, as i required best automatic transmission car, drived baleno, i10 nios, sonet but at last purchased honda jazz vx cvt. Comfort level, driving leisure, is lovable. Best car in this segment. Super silent driving, average is nice 13 in city and 17 plus on highway.

Buying experience was the worst part as I have paid for genuine accessories but dealer Sapphire Honda Bangalore fitted local accessories, I caught them and asked them to fit the genuine accessories i.e seat cover but they completely denied. I approached to Honda 121 customer care then with their intervention they have replaced the set cover but they are also defective and very poor fit. I will not to suggest buy Honda, I have read some reviews they are also replacing the car parts....Be aware friends.... there service and workmanship is also of very poor grade compare to Maruti....Money is yours so decision would also be yours....Thanks for reading....

I have a very good driving experience with this car I drive very rough and after that, it gives me milage of 16 to 18 km per litre I will highly recommend you guys to buy this car but buy v model it is value for money
