First and foremost thing about Honda Jazz is that its one of the most elegant cars in this segment of cars. I had bought a SV petrol version of this car and I am thoroughly satisfied with its features.
MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES:
The car looks very sporty and modern in the hatchback segment.
The interior of the cars are highly designed with 5 inch display for the rear camera and USB and bluetooth connectivity for audio player.
The interiors ( comfort level) are very well planned for a perfect 5 seater with proper leg space in the front and rear end.
This car is at a very competitive price ( Rs. 7.2 lacs) and for this segment gives a much better clinche above the same segment cars in this range.
Handling of the car is the key feature wherein the brakes, jumpers and ride quality is superb even on rough roads and it is easy to drive at a good speed of 120 kms/hour on a highway.
The air condition is another key feature where the manual controls are provided for it but is highly effective in high temperatures on a very low fan speed too.
Fuel economy as per the company is around 19 kms/litre but it comes to 16 kms/litre on low traffic roads and 14 kms/litre on high traffic roads.
The bootspace is huge and can easily carry upto 70+ kgs or 3-4 large suitcases or 5-6 small suitcases. A great car for travelling with heavy baggage.
The engine is very powerful and easily reaches 90 kms/hour speed in about 6-7 seconds with proper handling on gears on a highway.
BAD POINTS:
As mentioned above the fuel economy as claimed by the company seems little exaggerated and hence falls short of its actual average by 3-5 kms/litre.
Arm rest is little off track compared to other honda cars and the bottle rest is very small, only holds small bottles.
The In built audio player has good quality of sound and adjustable functions ( like bass and other key sounds) but the controls of handling it are little complicated and do not justify its use. There is no remote provided for the audio player too which makes the people seated on the back of the car unaccesible to the audio system.
The windshield glass goes little foggy and makes it blurry for proper vision, they have an anti fogging for the rare glass, it would be a great idea to provide such a function for the front glass too.
Overall I support the car as it has great functions, powerful car and an all in all a buyable car in the range of Rs. 6.5 lacs to Rs. 8.5 lacs for different models.
