The ultimate thoughtful vehicle. A small car with a great big interior. The Honda Jazz has a great big heart.

The way Roger Ashton of London has been told to set the handbrake is quite correct. Press firmly of the footbrake and pull the handbrake lever up without operating the release button. This is the instruction given in the drivers manual for the Corsa D and a Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel which I owned recently. As a driver instructor I have been teaching this method for some time now and find that the handbrake is far more efficient. You can soften the sound simply by curling a finger underneath the button. Although this method is still queried by some driving examiners I am sure the manufacturers know best !

Honda Jazz 1.4EX 2008
Unbelievably good car with space that far exceeds that of many in a class above. Practicality cannot be bettered, this is simply the most useful small car you can buy. Terrific engine, especially with a few miles on the clock and never gives less than 50mpg. EX variant is very well equipped and is worth the extra money to get climate control and the like. Great design, fantastic build and excellent to drive. Also totally reliable. The complete opposite of its predecessor (Toyota Yaris) in every respect.

My aunt bought a brand new (March 2009) Jazz ES 1.4 i-VTEC (Petrol) i-SHIFT. She applied the hand brake in the normal way and left the car, when she returned she found the car had move from the position in which she left it. On reporting it to the supplier, they said you must NOT use the button on the hand brake; you must click it through the ratchet. This is not something we were taught to do, as we are told the ratchet will wear out and not work. Comments on this would be appreciated

Honda Jazz Jazz ES 2008
It’s a lovely car for anyone who drives a manual. The "auto" version (i-shift) is, however, abominable. I never thought I could ever criticise a Honda for the way it drives, but the ES i-shift was both sluggish and jerky. Rather like being driven in a manual with a very bad gear-change. It felt slow to get away, with a back-jerk at each gear change, as if I were stabbing the brake at each change up. My options are to keep the old CVT (smooth and nippy) or look for another small automatic that is truly automatic.

Honda Jazz 1.4 LS 2008
I was thinking which car to buy instead of my Citroen Xantia as a second car for my family (kids 7+9) for long journeys and holidays (we decided to keep 12 year old Citroen Ax for city rides) and was very disappointed when first saw JAZZ because it was small in dimensions comparing to Xantia. But my friend who have had it for several years just said: go inside and try to drive it and ask the dealer agent to show you all that can be done inside it (all positions and tricks with seats). I was really surprised with its possibility on the road but also huge space inside. So when I took my wife on a test drive she said that we don’t have to look at other cars (price of new Jazz was 13.460 EUR) because she loves it at first sight. After a few minutes of discussion in front of the dealers shop we agreed to buy it - no regrets. When I was buying the Xantia I spent several months trying to decide what car I’ll buy. We really can’t wait the day Jazz will be delivered to us.
