Good little car with more space than you may think. However no one mentioned the leaks, I have a water leak in the back, as a result the tyre well and rear foot wells have been soaking up water for some time The constant wet dog smell in the car was the give away. Also found that the rear window washer pump has gone at a cost of £75 to replace.

As has been often repeated this car is very practical and offers great interior space for it’s overall footprint. It can hold 3 child seats (we’ve got stages 1, 2 and 3) next to each other in the back and fit a double buggy and a weekend’s worth of luggage in the boot. Driving it is OK with light controls, good gearchange and free revving engine. However, the steering is vague (I think due to the electric power steering Honda have used) and a the car a little noisy at speed. I don’t notice any problem with poor ride quality. Fuel ecomony is reasonable but nowhere near the claims made by Honda. We get low 30’s mpg for town driving, high 30’s mpg at motorway speeds and low 40’s mpg for more relaxed cruising. Initial purchase and servicing are higher than other cars in the same class but you get more space and better resale so if you can afford it in the first place I don’t think there is anything to lose overall.

Where to start? the fuel consumption 42 mpg for a non urban daily journey, the grinding noises ("it’s the tyres sir") the days of wasted effort trying to get stuff fixed, the jiggly suspension, the frankly terrifying steering (don’t EVER expect it to steer straight ahead) the tappet clatter on start up (at least this is very nostalgic - it reminds me of a thirty year old Triumph 650) the switchgear it took four attempts to get fixed. Very nondescript. Strange white blooms on the paintwork. GOOD POINTS: Friendly garages (pleasant to talk to while you are waiting for an hour or two) very clever internal layout, nothing else has failed. Paddle shift was very useful in the recent snow. Overall...where is the number of that VW dealer??

I am on my second Jazz, the first time I have bought a second car. Local use or trips to Scotland from Dorset - a doddle. Next replacement - yes - a Jazz.

Bought new 2007. I had 3 of the old style Civics previously. No problems with the car it does what it says on the tin. 1.2 engine not very powerful but hey what can you expect from a car that achieves 64/65 miles per gallon on a run and over 50 miles per gallon overall. I would recommend this car to anyone.

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.

Best car I ever owned, beats my previous Volvo 440 hands down. It took 3 adults and myself as driver on a journey through France just after I purchased it; with four cases in boot. We averaged 48.5 MPH over 1,875 miles. Amazing around town; about 46 mph, on longer journeys with two we average 49.2 mph... Its upright seating is extremely comfortable which means I can drive further without have to get out and stretch my poor old legs. If the Jazz has a downside it’s a harder ride than my old Volvo. Finally, it will be my car of choice for years to come.

This is quite simply a wonderful car - it was Japan's 2002 Car of the Year and I can see why. The driving position is excellent; the interior is well constructed with everything where you would expect it. One thing that pleased and surprised me was the generous amount of loading space once the back seats had been lowered, carrying flat-pack furniture was not something that I thought would be possible when I purchased the Jazz but it has proven remarkably adept in this area. I wanted long-term reliability from my new car - reports suggested that this is exactly what the Jazz would give me and that it has done. This is a well constructed, green and stylish car.

Excellent car, out-classes all of it’s rivals. A brillant supermini, featuring fold flat rear seats for clever storage solution. Great on the motorway, quiet and acceleration is fantastic. Residuals are great too.
