I don't want my car to be "exciting ". I want it to be safe, quiet, economical and reliable. Not to be a magnet for car thieves or a challenge to testosterone fuelled boy racers. That's the Jazz. All boxes ticked.

I have owned one for three month's now. Very happy with the cars performance. I have achieved 67 mpg in September with warmer weather. Currently 58 mpg in colder weather as the engine runs more often especially in the morning on start up. As it is running to heat the heating system. If you switch off the heating the engine will stop. It is very comfortable and easy to drive and quiet running. Sometimes you buy a car and are not especially happy with the purchase, this certainly is not one of those. Well done Honda.

Yes I bought it in September so have no summer experience but going by temperature at the time I would imagine a better outcome in warm weather. However Aircon would come into the equation then. It is quite noticeable when you switch on at first in cold weather that the engine runs quite fast if however if you switch off the heating the engine will stop.

Scrolling through the comments , I was in agreement with most. The one that took my attention was the person who stated that Honda needs to push its marketing . I bought a 2023 Jazz Cross star two weeks ago and I am literally in love with it. I personally feel that this model car is unknown on the Italian market where I live. I can blow any FIAT out of the water...

I’ve had my Jazz since September 2021 and couldn’t be more pleased. It has the smoothness of an electric vehicle, combined with the economy of a diesel, and the practicality of the interior is exceptional. For a small car, its ability to carry four people in comfort is superb. It is easy to drive around town and on the motorway, with plenty of torque available for bursts of acceleration when needed e.g. for safe overtaking on an A-road. I thought that my Golf with a small turbo-charged engine and DSG gearbox was close to perfection for my needs, but I honestly believe the Jazz trumps it.

Our last CRV developed a problem with the driver's seatbelt - car was just out of the three year warranty. Cost to replace the seatbelt a staggering £1000. Honda offered to meet only 20% of the cost of the replacement belt. The dealer offered a honda jazz demo model, whilst the CRV was off the road. Delighted with it and so decided to go for the new Jazz August 2021. Great car far better acceleration than the CRV great fuel economy and a comfortable ride. Highly recommended.

I’m getting one soon. It’s been out since 2020 and I’ve only seen 3 on the road. People are missing a trick here. It’s a small car with massive room inside. Looks well built and designed and that hybrid motor is much better than toyota I’d argue. Engine is only a generator until 60mph+ where the engine locks into 1 gear equivalent to 6th gear and electric motor provides extra power when overtaking. All sub 60mph driving is done solely on electric motor. Which is why it’s quite fast for a small car doing 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. I got 9 seconds on my test drive but that was with three people in the car. No gears is bliss and it’s comfy. Can’t praise this car enough. Jack of all trade master of none - but better than a master of one comes to mind.

Bought my Honda Jazz Crosstar in Sept 2021 having downsized from a Dacia Duster. No regrets whatsoever. The Jazz drives and feels like a much larger car. The electric motors work seamlessly with the petrol engine and give excellent economy (Averaging 62 MPG ) with both in and out of town driving. Interior design, fabric quality and seat configuration all above average. A very comfortable ride and great visibility all around. Plenty of space for my German Shepard in the back with a dog guard ensuring he's safe while traveling. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality built small car.

Good review, but I felt reactive to to your opening comments about it not being exciting or fun. I have a 2019 Sport and I find it a good balance of being fun, practical and a great size. Perhaps not a “go-cart” as a mini, but the Sport is peppy and is the same weight as a Mazda MX5 so it’s a pretty good performer too. I like a manual gear car so I doubt if I’ll go for the latest Hybrid version. Why would I when a 2019 Sport is such good value? Apart from the subjective start (maybe save that for the end if you have to) that’s a great review thanks.

@@ClassicAutoReviews my one is 2017, that's 1000km was the best I ever got and that was pure city driving. So traffic jams and hitting around at 50km average. Normally I get 875kms on a single tank. It has the tech from the leaf so half of the electric motor from that. Batteries are under the floor just like the leaf. It uses the 1.2 3 cylinder engine to charge the electric motor be and acts as a generator. Also there is selective regen braking just like the leaf. That's so addictive with the one pedal driving . Wear and tear of the car is minimal especially the brake pads etc Brilliant car and I come from the UK originally and this car should of been brought to the UK. They would of sold like hot cakes.

Had Our jazz for 6 months now just over 5k miles. It has averaged 61.5Mpg ( correctly measured - the car computer claims 63.5).Over that 5+k miles. We have seen 75 mpg on a few 50+ mile trips but high 60s is the norm. However the last two tankfuls in this cold weather are working out as 58 and 57.5 . It’s probably due to the engine running more to heat the car. So far we are very pleased with this versatile little car. In particular it is very comfortable and relaxing to drive. Unfortunately some of the driver aids are annoying, I understand they have to be to get the 5* safety rating. We picked the standard Jazz EX in preference to the seemingly bigger Crosstar as bizarrely the standard car has more space and more equipment. ( heated steering wheel & cross traffic warning on the reversing camera) according to Honda it is also faster to 62 mph and more economical. As far as I can see the only reason for Crosstar is if you need the waterproof seats, - these would be great if you have muddy dogs or children, the Crosstar also has a better sound system & 16mm extra ground clearance.

I bought a new one last year, the 2nd jazz I’ve owned. The new one is a big improvement over the last version but still feels very familiar. Having owned several higher performing cars I would say the ease of driving this and its practicality makes it a clear winner for everyday use. The only crap thing about it is the app, which requires a separate visit to the dealer to activate and which is full of bugs to the extent it is almost unusable.

We recently sold this model and part exchanged it for a nearly new electric car. It had some very good features and conversely, some notably poor ones too. Given its external size, its deceptively roomy for passengers and the cabin is larger than our BMW 3 series. In addition, the seats are tremendously comfortable. The magic seats are ideal for transporting large items and with the rear seats folded down, it becomes like a small van. So that's the good news. Here's the bad news: ride quality is inadequate for rough roads. The engine often stays on when you are stationary and therefore wastes fuel, however, if you turn off the heating, it stops. So, if you want to save fuel in cold weather, best wear a coat and hat. The acceleration is weedy and handling feel is virtually non-existent. Fuel economy became worse when the new E10 petrol arrived. Honda need to increase the regenerative effect and upscale the inadequate battery capacity because you will soon use up that energy and that engine will fire up again and burn up fuel when it ought to still be running on recuperated energy.

I need the engine to stay running when I am at traffic lights , level crossings, etc, because I need to keep the car running to charge up the starter battery. Otherwise the battery never gets fully charged, and then the car won’t start at all without me calling for a jump start from the AA / RAC.

I live in the US and really love this car, but they discontinued it over here :( people don’t like small cars in America I guess. I have a 2009 and it’s way better than I ever could’ve asked for. Having some trouble with the battery now but it’s pretty old so that’s understandable

Americans want big cars they can't afford. Worked at a Honda dealership at the point they got discontinued, we would have 40 civics, 50 crvs, etc. And like 3 Fits on the lot, clearly nobody wanted them.

Question...is the Jazz the only car on the market where the back seats fold totally flat. It is a terrific advantage for those who are looking for the feature. I know of a courier who finds it a big plus. Great for dogs too.
@Woodman-Spare-that-tree
@Woodman-Spare-that-tree Год назад
I think it is. It’s a terrific feature . I’ve even carried a dining table upside down in the back of my Jazz because when you put the back seats down , you get a completely flat storage area with no ‘lip”.

Very interesting video, well presented, clear and without gimmicks, which makes for a treat. Would be interesting to understand what take the Jazz actually has on being a hybrid- the battery seems to work at low speeds doesn't make it clear what is going on? So what hybrid features are there?
@ConcertinaChap
@ConcertinaChap Год назад
When you're driving the car is constantly juggling the battery and the engine. In theory the battery can only take this thing about a kilometer, apparently, but the recharging from the engine and the regenerative braking keep the battery topped up and the car will use the battery when it can, which is much of the time. This is how it gets the superb MPG, it's also why it's so quiet, especially at low speeds when it's totally silent. Quite spooky ...

Did you ever see a Fit ad in the USA? Automakers successfully brainwashed the American public that they must own a pricey 4-wheel drive SUV and Fit sales declined thus 2020 was the last year of Fit (Jazz) in the USA. This would be an outstanding choice for Americans not yet ready for an EV.

Rather sadly Honda Australia made a decision to withdraw the Jazz from circulation in 2020. There is no alternative offered by Honda so they will lose a lot of customers with the decision. I've had three Jazz over more than a decade after owning several other marques and they are the best in their category for me.

Brilliant car. It is somehow distinctive without to much design effort. Practicality, comfort and interior are really incredible. Polo, Fiesta...just can't match this, they are so dull and obsolete. Especially cheaper VAG variants. 208 has its own flirty things and for me it is the only competitor.
