    My wife and I compared the Honda Jazz to the VW Polo, Nissan Note and Ford Fiesta, overall the Jazz was in our opinion, quieter and much smoother to drive, space was excellent. A very good build quality though perhaps a tad pricey.

    My second review of the Honda Jazz having owned it for 1 year and having done 4,000 miles. Car is still as practical as ever and have never struggled for space since owning it. Have since had a baby and the doors that open almost 90 degrees make getting the baby seat in and out of the car easy. The road noise and wind noise is still not too bad and only really gets unbearable on speeds of 60mph plus. I have tried my hardest but can only get around 42mpg at best for combined driving rather than the 51mpg Honda claim. Regarding Honda Chiswick though the service when buying was faultless I did have to take the Jazz in once and got the car back with a slight scratch and an empty drinks can and crisp packet left in it. I did write a letter to complain buty never received any reply which was disappointing.

    Confirmed Honda owner with three years on CRV and then downsized to Jazz 1.4 ES I-shift. Tried hard to like this car but after 8 months have given up and sold up. Short wheel base gives unsettled ride. Noisy at speed. Motorway driving needs strong concentration as steering wanders. I-shift gearbox is a disaster. Abrupt shifts, no logic to shift patterns with frequent screaming engine in low gears. Dangerous at times when you press the accelerator and nothing is there. Would seriously recommend that you look elsewhere. Experience of this car such that resigned to take a big financial hit and go to another make.

    My car

    I bought Honda Jazz in India on 27th November 2011. The car has a serious manufacturing defect in the petrol tank cover. I have notified to Honda India with no response. They have refused to acknowledge the problem. Please see the video I have made of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ctW27JYwg It is pathetic on part of Honda to be so discriminatory of its Indian customers.
