Honda Jazz 12.2 auto/man 2003

5 star review

I own a Jazz auto/man 2003 12.2. I am presently recording 55.6 to the gallon urban use, very pleased with this. I travel 12 miles back and forward to work, twice daily totalling 48 miles daily. I did not expect to achieve this on short journeys.

Honda Jazz Auto 2003

4 star review

Very economical, very roomy and practical. A/C failed after 49,000 miles. Also this has 8 spark plugs, local garage (not Honda) did not know, eventually burnt out the 2 coils....... Costly, but a brilliant car. Sold after 5 years for 1/2 of new cost.

Honda Jazz 1.4 dsi 2003

5 star review

This was my wife’s company car until very recently when she purchased it from the company! The car is now five years old and other than routine servicing has only ever had tyres, wiper blades etc. It has sailed through its two MOTs and has never failed to start on first turn of the key. Fuel consumption is approximately 50mpg and on the motorway will cruise no problem at 70 all day. I sometimes have to check the rev counter at traffic lights etc to see if the engine is still going as it is that quiet.The bodywork keeps remarkably well and looks as good as new after a visit to the local hand car wash. Interior is extremely spacious given the exterior dimensions and the general interior feel is quality without being luxurious.We have enjoyed our "little Jazz" and my wife treats it as one of the family its that dependable. Finally my company car is a brand new Golf TDI 170 bhp which on the motorway is exceptional, but when I am going out locally I still find myself reaching for the Honda keys knowing I will come back smiling (all of you Jazz owners know what I mean).

Honda Jazz 1.4 SE 2003

5 star review

I bought the jazz from the local Honda dealer, I have been very impressed with the Jazz. For me the clincher were the back seats - that is the base of the seats can be raised up, the amount of interior space is more like a class above, my previous car was an Astra 94 model and the boot space was very similar to the Astra but the jazz is a lot smaller outside. People sitting in the jazz for the first time comment on how much room there is. Running costs, road tax £120, insurance group 3 and petrol costs are very low. Making visits to the petrol station less frequent than the previous car. The Jazz has idsi petrol engine with vvt the engine uses 8 spark plugs, this results in 50mpg, the same economy as a 1.0 litre but the performance of a 1.4. The petrol tank has been moved forward instead of the rear which frees up load space. Equipment wise the jazz is very comprehensive, ac electric windows all round electric sunroof, cd player, alloy wheels all of these enhances the drivers enjoyment. The only negative is the ride its bit harsh on poor roads, and tyre noise is loud too but this is due to my car being one of the early model, and i have changed the tyres to Nexen tyres these are a lot better then the Yokoma which were on before. I had a courtesy car from the Honda dealer a jazz 08 and the ride was a lot better, engine performance wise i go for the 1.4 anytime, as its ideal for cruising on the motorway. For servicing costs I pay into a servicing plan monthly, a reasonable £15 per month, to which all the consumable items and labour are covered which to me is a good deal. If i did not pay into the plan I would have been paying up to £450 so its best to enrol into the service plan, another aspect of Jazz ownership is that it holds its resale value very well.

5 star review

Marilyn Burford, England Honda Jazz 2007. I have the diesel engine version which is pretty noisy on starting and takes about 5 miles to get going. As I only do about 10 miles a day this is a big draw back. The children like it however and they call it the jazz mobile. I don’t know what car you are driving Marilyn but Honda have never sold a Jazz with a diesel engine - your two star rating for a non-existant model has prevented the Jazz getting an average of 5 stars in this forum - well done.

5 star review

I’ve had Honda cars before and thought I was downsizing to a Jazz, but it’s a lot bigger inside than people think. Can get two sets of golf clubs with two folding trollies and holiday luggage for two in the boot without folding seats down. Normally get about 55mpg commuting 25 miles each way to work, and about 45mpg around town. Smooth engine with torque coming in low down in rpm range, tractable and easy to drive without having to change gear too often, the gearchange is light and direct. Easy to park with very small turning circle and light steering for parking, but stiffens up as speed rises, fairly quiet ride (depends on tyres fitted) and can hold conversation easily at 70mph.
