I'm gonna be real with you, the Honda Jazz is one of the greatest cars ever made. Own it with pride!

Just bought one this morning with 151,000 miles. I’m extremely excited to drive this little machine. Truly blessed to see others are enjoying them well

I've had three. They're bloody brilliant cars. They don't go wrong and you can chuck anything in them.

I Have a 2008 jazz, 79000 miles. So reliable ,auto .Brilliant. Had it 6 yrs .

The first generation Honda Jazz is the most good looking for me. Really cute, compact and still utilitarian

Had an 06 plate 1.4 i-dsi and did 158k in it until I traded it in. Was a great car,took me and my family on holidays to Cornwall for several years and was so reliable. Serviced every year and it just kept going

The Jazz is one heck of a car. You can just throw it into corners and it’s an absolute joy. (With decent tyres of course)

Thanks Tim and a very merry Christmas to you and your family. Onwards and upwards for 2023

I got a 2009 Honda Fit, and it’s almost identical, it’s light blue though. it does have more cup holders and is an automatic. In January I really needed a car & I love Hondas & Toyotas and found my Honda Fit. I drove it quite a bit in 4 months, it’s just ready to hit 185k miles… it’s amazing what I can squeeze into it! It’s really a fun little car!

Loved the video, a great years content too, keep it coming…Merry Christmas all and have a great 2023!

Happy new year! This video is an excellent example of your essence. I love that you’re not a car (or motorcycle) snob and can bring excitement to a decade old, knackered up Honda Jazz.

There's something i love about the every man car reviews man. You've got me wanting a Skoda and i can't even get them on my continent! Looking forward to the cars and bikes and Motorpoint vids. Merry Christmas my friend.

We love boring cars, Tim. Keep em coming!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 🎉

If this is an example of your car analysis abilities, I think your channel has a great future. HAPPY XMAS 🥳

Both my sister and her boyfriend have Honda Jazz's (2008 and 2017 respectively). My sister uses hers for her dog walking business and has had custom dog crates installed in the back (with the rear seats permanently down). She can transport 4 dogs, each with their own cage and plenty of space. It's like a minivan, amazing really. I drive a MK9 Civic which I can also recommended as a cheap reliable daily that shares the same magic seat feature as the Jazz.

I have had all kinds of cars, fast cars, pretty cars, ugly cars....but i always, ALWAYS go back to the jazz, its such a brilliant car, the "magic" back seats can pretty much make it into a escort van...the jazz has never... ever failed to start...and 40 quid to fill up and can easily get 2 working weeks out of it... before i need to fill it again! I honestly not going to get any other car from now on.....ALSO...Honda do a pet cage that will fit the jazz boot beautifully....so will pets world...for you dog owners!

Happy Christmas 🎄 I had no idea you also had a bike channel. Just checked it out and am loving that too 👍🏼

All the best and may your channels continue to go from strength to strength. And I'd thoroughly like to see ordinary cars tested by you. And if all else fails, just remember that everyone loves a K swapped Jazz! Happy Christmas

Keep the mix of sensible and entertaining cars 👍🏻

Just got a Honda jazz which is exactly like this one, same year and colour, only difference is that it’s got a sunroof. It’s so much nicer than I was expecting from my budget after an accident I had in my 2017 Peugeot 108 that was written off ironically from a white van smashing into the side of it last month

Looking forwards to the 'boring' stuff. Have a great xmas /new year Mr Rodie.

Bought a 07 Fit for cheap in July 2021 finally fixed nearly all the problems in August 2022. It was fun sorting that many problems thou.

I've had my 2011 Jazz for two years. Brilliant car. Possibly the most useful car I have ever owned. It is a magnet for scrapes though. I have had 7 hits in two years (The first and worst was on my third day of ownership when a van ran into the back of me. It attracts scratches like nobody's business though.

Interestingly precisely at 10:16 a similar Jazz presumably doing fill-ups in the background, so it's kind of enhancing the theme 😃

You had to get married to get this car so you paid dearly 😂

Free=good. All the best for 2023.

My sister had a jazz similar age to yours and had to get rid of it as it was costing too much in maintenance, (my sister's a bit rough with it), it had bumps and scrapes all over it. She loved it so much she wanted another one! She went and bought a new hybrid as a single woman wanted a car that didn't need work on it all the time. She really loves this car! In Zimbabwe, jazzes,(fits out here), are used as illegal taxis and regularly carry 10 to 12 people! They are amazing cars

I'm only 35 but I've always been a fan of these. As for a k20 swap that's something I would love to see

I had four Honda Acty (3 vans,and a truck),all bought used,over more then twenty years,and they were incredibly reliable,and cheap to run.Still have them all.

Merry Christmas

In my opinion, it's up there with the Mk2 Ford Focus in the fight for the best mass produced car of the century so far. They're both practical, reliable, spacious and a giggle to drive.

Looking at getting one of these for one of my almost grown up 'kids', here in the middle of Oz.

I too was gifted an old Jazz a few years ago from an in-law. Honestly turned out to be one of the best cars I’ve ever had. Never put a foot wrong, only got rid as we needed the money out of it!

I drive a 2009 Fit. 154K miles. Great car. Big inside, small outside. Honda did a good one with this car.

I am in the same boat. I am selling my bmw x3 and getting my 2009 jazz running again after 3 years in the garage. Greetings from Australia mate.

Love the "BORING CAR' review idea!!!!

I love them, had a 2008 for five years but sadly had to part with her as needed too much work done, so I got myself another one, a year younger, low mileage and has a panoramic roof, they’re reliable as eff man 🤓

Exciting seasonal Jazz ❤ Cheers for all the amusing and informative content Tim 👍🏻 My Mum had one. Nice 8valve engine in those. Decent steering and typical Honda gear change 😀

You lucky lad, wish someone would give me a Jazz. I have had two of these best cars I have ever had in fourty four years of driving, never lets you down which is more than can be said for much more expensive brands which turn out to be money pits while you try to impress strangers.

Good stuff dude 😂

"It's a grandma car!" Who cares? I have two Jazz's, a '02 and a '09. They are amazing cars for their size and price!

Just one of these, an 06 of same model as yours for £950 with 70k miles and 2 owners with full MOT. I agree with the gearbox, its super solid, in fact its the most tight gearbox in any car ive onwed in the past. Very happy over all yey! 😁

One of the best beater cars ever. Best car in its class for sure.

I have a MK3 with wide tyres and it drives like it's on rails. The brakes fade on standard discs after a while when in god mode but vented discs are available

Hi Tim. I hope you find this comment on an old video. My 2004 jazz is finally going to the big scrapyard on the sky. Lots of welding required. Ive absolutely hammered the poor thing, dragging tons of match fishing gear all around the country. It really is like a little van with the seats down. Anyway, I trust your opinions on things, so wondered if youd give me a shortlist of used cars that I should look at with a budget of just 5k. Reliability is a key concern, as disposable cash is at a premium, but mainly I need it to be a van in a cars clothing. Going to look at a 2013 c3 picasso tomorrow, plenty of space in that. What would you be looking at and what would you avoid?! Thanks mate keep up the awesome content

Good cars and very reliable unlike my 2012 ford focus that cost me $10,000 Australian dollars to purchase 2 years ago has gone through a steering rack,camshaft position sensor,heater core failed needing the entire dash pulled out to replace. I'm looking to trade it in on a Honda or Toyota

It's a giant of endurance and reliability. Even if you have the money for a new car, it feels so good to know your miney is in the bank!

Still driving my 2007 Honda Fit. Best car I ever owned. No mechanical problems until this year when the air conditioner conked out--at least $1,500 to fix it. It was a hot summer, but, as I waited and waited for 2024 Chevy Trax that I ordered to ship, the more I began to feel like I'd miss my Fit if I switched, so I wound up cancelling the order. Clearly, I'll need to give up on my Fit before too long, but not just yet.

The best of all, it doesn't fit a washing machine, it fits two!

A very VERY good dependable, reliable not worries at all everyday motoring. The MPG puts a lot of modern cars to shame, my mum was able regularly to achieve from a £10 top up to over 100miles from that. MOT'S were no problem as long as the consumables were addressed...Happy motoring with a Jazzy

Great car I have honda jazz 1.3 dsi 2003 model 😉 it's a tank never let me down always reliable best car I've ever known only done 85,000 miles 💪

should i get a 2009 model that has 260000miles on it? for 4k cad?

Looks like a Jazz mk1. The last year for that model was 2007.

Nice. I landed here from a review of the current (2023/2024) Jazz. Lovely car but darn if these small eco cars haven't gotten expensive... it's about 30k eur 😢

How is the fuel consumption on this car? How many mpg are you getting? Thanks

Very nice car.

We import them fresh from Japan We can’t get enough of them because people know what they are 😎☀️

I have a 12 plate , 1.4 it’s awesome it’s my daily , my other car is a Fiat panda 4x4 ……..the Honda is bomb proof , change oil regularly that’s it ……….best car ever built .

Always wanted a yellow one. Maybe a yellow s2000 too.

its got 83 hp and the cvt is great ,puts the engine noise and rpm down on motorways..

Oh perhaps The Smallest Cog could do the Jazz Type R conversion 👀

I’m from the west I love the fit/Jazz I have a2009 sport it’s an auto but still a great car

You must be doing well these days Tim, you can afford to heat your house in England! Love me an old Jazz, no other car uses available space as cleverly.

Rot is their nemesis. These type of cars make lovely reviews

It was the break up of Wham! that left me a broken and bitter man.

The issue with the jazz is that any before 2009 are targeted by cat converter thieves . In my 2009 they tucked it closer to the engine manifold.

I`ve had mine for 7 years, I`ve lusted after a Jag all my life but, the wee Jazz just won`t stop, so I`m thinking, why blow a ton of money on a Jag when the Jazz starts stops & steers! What`s a Jag gonna do that the Jazz doesn`t (look really cool on my driveway) but no, and in 7 years, it`s cost me (get ready for this) £320 in maintenance. both times on brakes. yeah it`s not the most glamorous looking car, but by god is it reliable!

Same reasons but in a 2005 Honda Jazz - 18 years of hassle free everyday driving with probably as many more to come

This is probably the car most people need, but instead they got a Qashqai or a Juke or a Mokka or whatever

Do you still drive it?

My grandmother got one, so naturally i hate it Im having fun driving even transporters, but im certain that thing just wants me dead

My elderly mother has a jazz and loves it. It's definatley functional. A head purchase rather than a heart purchase. The only thing I really dislike is the steering which is appalling. There's no castor so you're constantly having to steer in a straight line.

i still have my jazz with 160k miles, still can do 110mph!

Just a great hack for daily duty easy to park in all types public parking wars stores anywhere many more knocks to come 👍 so endore

I love your Mother in law........You should adore her from now on.......beggars cannot be snobs brother.....best reliable car

at lease the seat is unbelivably clean, most of them look horrible in 2nd hand market

i really like this car! it doesn't look like a 13 yo car.

Had ours in the family for 10years and over 130,000 miles later it’s still going strong with everything working. Can’t get anything more reliable for the money really, the cvt is quite boring but takes the miles with ease, hoping to get it to 150k before the end of next year.

They're great vehicles , ...in America we called them the Fit ..

They’re all rusted now, it’s hard to find a good example

my fist car was honda jazz 2002

Never heard any car review say these are fun to drive

I think Clarksons mum owned one so that's far as it's street cred goes

we need honda to make a Honda Jazz Type R 2.0L Turboooo!!

That's probably an 08, the 09 is a second gen, totally different better looking i will say. All Jazz/Fit's are awesome cars any gen.

Ah yes,the Honda Jazz‐zzzzzz - rumoured to run on 'elder'berry wine.

dude a 2009 old is not old, I drive a 2001 peugeot 206 and a 2005 g astra

Throughout this video you spoke about everything BUT the Jazz. What a waste of time.

2004 Jazz SE owner. These little cars have a mis-placed stigma, a bit like a Micra (another brilliant little car). Economical, torquey little cars that that are fun to drive and throw around. Downside; no modern infotainment and a bit of a job to fit a modern system in as the radio/CD is integral with heating controls etc.
