Exterior
Undoubtedly one of the most stylish and sporty looking vehicles out there. The Jazz/Fit did not become a global bestseller for Honda for no reason! 😎
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Even though the Jazz is the costliest vehicle in it's segment in the Indian market, some obligatory (now-a-days) features one would expect in a premium vehicle are missing such as keyless go (push-start), auto lock/unlock, driver armrest, DRLs.
Barring the above the Jazz has everything one would need and ask for and trust me when I say this, "This Car feels amazing to Sit in and Drive". There is acres of space everywhere, plenty of cupholders and cubby-holes, the boot is the segment leader, the automatic climate control (touch-screen) works like a charm, the AVN and touch-screen entertainment is great.
The dead-pedal however, actually looks like it's dead, cuz it is so low, you'd feel better keeping your foot in normal position instead of extending it to the "dead" pedal. LOL!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
I have read at places that the low end performance is a major concern however I would strongly emphasize on the fact that this is not a car one would buy for regular highway cruising and is instead a City vehicle. That said, I do not feel the low rpm performance is BAD, it sure could've been slightly better than what's on offer for now. A possible upgrade of the petrol to a 1.5 l engine in the future will surely have this fixed I believe. In it's present state, one might need to work the gears a bit (at slow speeds), unless you're good at coordinating the clutch release and the accelerator press. Once above the 200 rpm mark, this car goes like whoaaahh!
The gearbox feels clicky at times yet super-smooth n gives proper feedback, just like that of the Honda City. The fuel economy seems to be decent, I have been riding the car for 2 days (all in the horrible Hyderabad city traffic) and I see the mileage showing around 12 already.
Ride Quality & Handling
One word - IMPECCABLE!
One of the best ride experiences of my life, well, it's Honda after all guys! I would not have settled for anything lesser than this. Potholes and bums (unless large or hit in high speed) easily cross without much of a feel inside the cabin. The ABS is super-effective as I recall taking a 90 degree sharp turn at a speed of around 50 and there was absolutely no body-roll at all. The EBD works very good as well.
Final Words
if you're a Honda lover, prefer quality ride and drive, GO FOR IT!
