Honda Jazz : Practical Or Not? : PowerDrift 

I find it baffling at times that Indians seem to squabble over petty ICE features like bluetooth/larger infotainment system/speakers/ etc etc but they will happily glance over the safety ratings of these cars. The Jazz is a 5 star NCAP rated car if I am not mistaken so its pretty evident that most of the manufacturer's money are in the chassis build which is why they compromise on the minor electronic gadgets inside. Its also baffling that the two biggest car makers in India approach the opposite way where they load the cars with a lot of electronic items but they compromise heavily on chassis build quality. Some of those 10 lakh cars, heck even the XUV crumples like tinfoil after a rollover whereas I've seen a Honda Jazz survive a treefall on top of its roof during the Chennai floods coverage. People in India need to start looking out of the cabin comfort list and start paying more attention to what the NCAP safety rating stars indicate. Also, stars alone don't mean much but pay attention to the report they attach and read the description for every occupant. If you buy a family car its obviously meant to keep your family safe and comfortable, but safety as usual should be your priority over comfort.

Jazz is what you get if the Mobilio fucked the City

Man!! I feel like owning every vehicle you guys review. Even the Jazz. :P

Camera work in this video is brilliant!

I own the I-Dtec sv, as you said the noise of the engine can be heard inside the cabin, but you'll get used to it. Space inside the cabin is phenomenal, highway driving is fun as it requires no downshift and it's really well built. I've done 30k kms in about two years. Maintenance cost is low as compared to others, and I'm pretty much satisfied with the Jazz, as it's my first ever Honda car in my life and absolutely fell in love with this brand. Ride quality is awesome and even after 30k done in a diesel engine doesn't feel like it's actually ran that long. I test drive VW polo, baleno(a car made of tin) and I20(gives you headache after long run and maintenance as told by users). I've done a really good decision with buying this car.

Thanks for doing this guys. The Jazz has and will always be amongst my top favorites!

Got notified? Well, this space is reserved for those from the #NotificationSquad who are aged between 20 - 32!

Owning jazz for more than 4yrs, I feel knowingly r unknowingly, choosing jazz was the right decision I made in my life. Such a wonderful car and driving experience. It just lacks torque in lower gear. Rest its a complete package. Love to ride it more.

which is best?when compared with petrol segment Hyundai elite i20 sports vs jazz sv model

i hav been waiting for this for more than a year ago i hav been dirving the petrol version of this jazz 1.2 l 5 speed manual its loded with gr8 space in head room and leg room as u said its perfect for road trips i hav covered 23k kms in it as its a cool car to hangout with yes it is fuel efficient and have less maintenece n all i feel good about the car and more over i feel good about the review too as it speeks what i hav to say yes the diesel version is quit noisy in to the cabin but the petrol version is super silent ✌✌✌

I recently drove the Jazz from Bangalore to Coorg and back. Loved the car. Best bits were the very well placed cup holders specially on the driver's side. Had the same issues on the side pillars which restricted the visibility, etc etc. But over all, it was a good drive and Jazz just cruised effortlessly.

I'm looking for a good vehicle around 10lac which one do you suggest Maruti Suzuki S-CROSS 200 Sigma or Honda jazz vx Diesel ?? as jazz seems more practical n powerful.

Life is precious than Money_it's the only car around in the segment which has 5 star safety rankings. I love it in fact I own it too

plzzz tell me about ivtec ac performance

Hey, I want to buy a petrol version of jazz. are your reviews same for jazz petrol too? because if m not wrong you test rided disel version of it. thanks

Fabulous cinematography while on the drive! Interesting review as well.. sort of strange why Honda would leave out things like parking assists, push button start/stop even out of the top end model

Hello, old jazz vx petrol with heavy discount or new jazz vx petrol?

seems perfect car for Salman khan. 😂

Hi, Please guide about probable price difference between Honda Jazz and upcoming WRV. (Petrol & same variant)

Petrol - VW Polo or Hyundai i20 or Honda Jazz??? can you rate these order of best buy....

automatic transmission or a smooth manual transmission with light cluch Which one is better for city use ? Is the difference is vast between this two transmissions ?

HONDA Amaze E-MT MODEL is not manufacturing by HONDA right now and dealers giving waiting period upto 4 months in Delhi, can you please make video on it???? Thanks

Planning to buy an used Jazz I DTEC - Diesel - Full manual - with Magic seats in Bangalore. Any suggestions on the year of the model that has magic seats ? It seems they have stopped that in newer variants

Nice review. I own a Jazz VX I-DTEC for past 10 months and had driven around 17,000 kms. I drive daily in Bangalore traffic and get around 19kms/litre on an average. In highways my average is around 22kms/litre. Car is very spacious, comfortable seats and very good to drive both in traffic as well as highways. Down sides are that it's very costly and is not built for performance. It does reach 110 in 6th fear at 2000rpm itself but acceleration is very linear. I had upgraded my tires to 195/60R15 on the second day itself.

great car. but the only thing bothering me the whole video was the front number plate. it wasnt straight.

Is CVT good for the long-term? I really love the paddle shifters as an option and I've never it seen on any other car. Does any other car has paddle shifting? Or will there be any new cars with paddle shifter?

Did you get a chance to drive the CVT? Heard that it claims to have even more fuel efficiency than the manual petrol.

Great. Glad to see review like these from your team. Please also make a video of MSIL Baleno next time plz. It will be very helpful for a buyer.

Hi I am confused between Jazz and Aspire (Diesel Variants). Can anyone suggest me which one would be overall good car to buy?

what's the minimum mileage gets on jazz

Hi PD, nice video but the thing I missed the most was 1. A brief description of different varients ending with your expert advice as to which varient would be the best value for money, considering this is a below 10lakh car. 2. A short comparison with the direct competitors like i20 or the baleno.

Great Video as always guys! What do you guys think about the diesel Jazz Top end model when compared to the newly launched Ignis? Is Jazz still the better choice?

Dunno why but I liked the way the predecessor looked better!

The best bit about this video? Getting a sneak peak into PowerDrift's office. Good work guys.

I love the Jazz. In fact I do own a Jazz petrol V myself. It looks good, the interior space is enormous, and the petrol engine is virtually silent! The front glass is enormous and the windows do give a very airy feel. And yeah the blindspot you mentioned is very annoying. Often some bike rider will sneak up in it. Planning to get those convex corner mirrors added. All in all it's pretty practical, considering that even the petrol can give upto 22kmpl on the highways.

Terrific job guys! Loved the host. Keep it up :D --- A big fan from Bengaluru

can you please tell about the built of the car... i own an i20 2011 model..nd the car is strong...but i feel just like other honda cars like amaze brv and city honda might have used thin metal and built a low strength car...

Great review, thanks for sharing.

A funkier and peppier Ignis is what I would prefer or I would wait for 2018 Polo, as neither m I married nor I have kids by any chance

Once again... a great video review. I had to buy a car recently and Jazz was on top of my list but after the test ride went for Ford Aspire which has better suspension and NVH levels and almost a lakh cheaper. Jazz looks better though. Ecosport trend variant and jazz top end cost same so... had to say😀

Oh boy! What an awesome review and video capturing , one of the best I have ever seen. A huge applause to your damn good video.

Is honda jazz automatic good for 80 Kms travel everyday

"Honda jazz PowerDrift review" I was typing this for months and finally. I was hoping for beige interior model too.

What about the petrol Jazz, how does it fare, whats its mileage?

Can someone please confirm if the back seat of the honda city is more comfortable than the honda jazz? (awesome video powerdrift :) )

wow, the editing was spot on! earned u a sub. :)

what is the best competitor of jazz??? I am not a big fan of elite i20 because of its overrating, out o jazz and i20 don't, jazz have best comfort, better ride quality, more space, better millage, better suspension, better driving position and more important back seat is phenomenal, better boot space, better visibility, better headlights visibility, better breaks and it have all the necessary features, so my question is why would not i spend just 50,000 more for all these. And plz let me know where i am wrong and what should someone choose over jazz if someone is looking for a good hatchback for his/her lovely family Thank you

hyundai elite i20 1.2 sportz or honda jazz 1.2 S I VTEC or Baleno 1.2 DELTA which car is best for me. and in future I go CNG fuel, performance will be same or not. Please tell me

@Powerdrift .... this new approach of 4 wheel review is way better than what you used to do .....keep it up ;)

Similar feeling... was confused between the jazz and the baleno... at the end bought the baleno (courtesy the lower price and the long equipment list). But my heart still beats for the jazz.😢

Well said..Honda didn't provide us the whole some meal.. To buy CVT transmission you need to forget about magic seats...

please put a comparison of i20,baleno and the jazz...the premium hatchback....Also please try to do it with Petrol cars as u hardly find any petrol engine review in the net.

this is the best car ever i have seen in this price range

I have been driving the Jazz Vx I-dtec from past one year and it is a complete package. I get nearly 21kmpl in city with A/C. A very stable ride on curves and bad roads. This is best review I have ever seen you guys are awesome.. I am 25 :p

PD....is there any difference between jazz 2016 and 2017?

Took a test drive of the CVT. Absolutely amazing drive, comfortable and stress free. But the price tag gives you all the jitters!! And at that price point there is no touch screen infotainment system, no push button start, no gun metal finished alloy weels, no spoilers, no sun roof!!!!!

mad sleek gimbal game on the opening scene! kudos for the editor and the camera operator

i have jazz since 3 years......yes some faetures are missing...but road grip and high speed stability is awesome and engine refinement also

I agree with the handling being great on the older model at least , I doubt this one would be worse. I do like the jazz. what I don't like is the lack of engine type in the UK. just one engine which isn't nippy enough for me. as far as safety - jazz is a clear class leader on euro ncap for super minis. it puts bigger cars to shame. practicality gets top marks too. reliability is great of Hondas especially the jazz. maybe that's why they've stayed away from turbo engines on this model. I I would have picked up a jazz as my little runaround vehicle. it has a lot to offer and is a great all round vehicle but it's a tiny bit bland for me personally and in the end I went for something smaller and less practical because it was more fun. hopefully honda will offer more in The Way of fun at the next refresh. I'd snap one up if they did.

Absolutely delightful video. Very well presented. However, an intrusive piece of music (someone singing) was the sole sore part. Petrol variant could've been included too. 👍

Nicely done ...please give some insight into CVT jazz compared to Polo GT DSG.?

please give info's about fz250

can you provide me the song name that plays at 3:35

Like the lounge mode very much . If my Polo GT offers the same I would have happier than now ;-)

Is the ground clearance bad for Indian road conditions at highways or speed breakers?

Such great shots, let down by twisted registration plate and shednet.

we bought jazz last year 0n 2016!it is good car performs well give rich look!it will satisfy the family it has best options and it will satisfy you in different way!

Power drift is surely Tarantino of car review channels. Captivating visuals, one liners, suave soundtrack selection, surprise cameos, lip smacking storyboards.

The moment the guy started talking in the beginning of the video, I knew had to give this video a like. The guy's got excellent diction and pronunciation. The information given was precise and clear, and the video was very well shot. Great Job ! :D

We have a jazz diesel at home and it's a fantastic car and the nvh does get better with time

Anyone know the outro?

man the final tracking shot ending at chef Ramsay !!! Noice...

Am i the only one who noticed slanted front number plate :-p Anyway Jazz rocks ! Great video .

Last night I binge-watched all the Indian review videos of the Honda Jazz; and I was desperately looking for a Power Drift video but there was none except for the first look one from 2 years ago. A little disappointed I thought to myself, "Well maybe Power Drift skipped on the Jazz for some reason" coz it's over 1.5 years since its launch. And then this evening just as I opened the RU-vid app I saw a huge thumbnail saying, 'Review Honda Jazz by PowerDrift'-uploaded 4 hours ago; and I was like, "Whaaaaaaat!!". What do you guys have some kind of a cerebro that can track every other motorhead out there and tell you what they are thinking/wishing? P.S. Thanks a lot. You guys rock! P.P.S. I am 25. P.P.P.S. Whaaaaaaat!!:-P

man! Amazing! the guy who chooses the music for the videos, massive #Respect they are epic!!

What's the gear used for filming!?

The only problem for me with the Jazz is that low ground clearance. Also the back seats are not as comfortable compared to the City(maybe because of the magic seats).

team which is ur pick when performance matters .. the diesel or petrol or petrol CVT... and did the CVT is better than VWs DSG

Top-end versions of these premium hatchbacks need to be under 10L on-road. The Jazz VX Diesel almost touches 11L in my city.

You guys are awesome Hat's of to the camera men👍🏻 And your review are sabse hatke 😉

My 2005 1.4 has no rattles, leaks, vices and other maladies normally evident in other 15 year old cars It still drives comparably, like a new car. How's that?

which would be better?? Jazz V cvt or baleno zeta cvt

nice presentation, kudos

good review .. !!! love it

Which road are you testing on..... looks great to drive on.

which song 4:25??

After a long time had seen a great review on powerdrift. This new guy absolutely nailed it. would love to watch more...keep up the good work.

that's y I chose the i20 asta option over this car the jazz is a nice car but equipment level in the top i20 top end was unbeatable... nice review as always...

#powerdrift can we have a video on a final verdict between Baleno, I20 elite, honda jazz and ford figo (all top end off course) just to see who beats whom at this stage.

Again great video by power drift loved it and it seems like it's not paid videos as all of your video seems like not paid one thats why i love PD

為什麼沒有中文解說？

Detailed review of Innovaa crysta...we are waiting of it

Your videos and music are AWESOME!! What camera do you use?

Could anybody suggest me what options do i have except dezire if i want to buy 5 seaters hatchback. Jazz seem overpriced in this range.

hii .. can u recommend me a car upto 9 lakh bracket .. petrol primarily ....

Should I buy Honda jazz sv petrol for 50,000 discount (after discount price -7,40,000/-) gurgaon haryana

what was that in the end? intentional or blooper? :P

When the Jazz was launched I had booked it.. but after finding out their pricing in variants I decided to go for the i20 Elite. Best decision ever. Jazz is awesome though, if you have money to splurge.

really liked the dal, rice and wholesome food comment in the end. apart from the usual great video reviews that you guys do.
