Marco Lemieux, Canada
Honda Jazz Fit 2009
Car of my life and believe me, I drove many cars as a car salesman from 2006 till 2009. This car is very roomy, fuel efficient, very comfortable in all seat, very versatile with those seats that you can fold down so easy. I compare this car to a small pick up truck, just to tell you how roomy this can car can be.

Honda Jazz 2009
I’ve found my Honda Jazz great but the dealer sold me a car owned by someone else when I stipulated I wanted an ex-demo car owned by them. The car is ok, but the after care service is zero, they won’t even answer my phone calls. I would never go back to Honda again.

Honda Jazz 1.4 2009
Against my better judgement I was persuaded to buy this as we needed to replace our worn out and much loved Toyota Starlet runabout last year (110,000 miles and much missed). It’s undoubtedly good on fuel consumption, but a noisy ride and weirdly uncomfortable seats. Tolerable, but I find myself choosing to take the proper car more often. Keeping the mileage down on this one seems not to have saved us much cash though - we have just had to have the two front tyres replaced at 11,000 miles. The dealership were shocking - rude and unhelpful and unwilling to explain the tyre wear on the inside front on both sides. Not what I would expect and if it goes on like this... Not cheap to run either.... no more Hondas for us! Ever.

Honda Jazz i-shift 2009
After having a 2002 Jazz CVT I bought a 2009 i-shift model. I’ve had it less than a year and have now gone back to a CVT model. A great car spoiled with this terrible auto i-shift system. I have given 4 star rating to the car only, I am afraid 0 for transmission.

Honda Jazz EX 2009
Thought I was buying a quality product but paintwork finish left a lot to be desired compared to other makes. Less than a year after purchase the alloy wheels started to corrode badly; Honda has yet to comment on full replacement. Would definitely not consider buying another Honda.

Honda Jazz 2009
Bought another Jazz in Feb 2009 based on my experience of my first Jazz. Again a great little car giving me no problems with a few important little extras that the first car did not have - air con being the main one BUT it now has a service interval computer that tells me when it wants a service. I have done 15 000 miles in 14 months and it has just informed me it wants another oil change service - the third in that time. This is twice the rate of oil change needed by the old Jazz and at £120-140 its not cheap! Allied to that moan is the fact I read that I could have opted for the fixed price servicing for an up front price of £500 for the whole period of ownership which would have saved me a lot of money but the dealer never mentioned it (I wonder why??)

Honda Jazz ES 2009
This is the 4th Jazz I have owned and each new model improves on its predecessor.The current model ticks all my requirement boxes,is comfortable , economical and like the previous models is a terrific all rounder for load carrying and utilisation of space. My one gripe is the rear brake discs are showing a lot of corrosion, which is a bit disconcerting on a car less than 12 months old, but the dealer is to replace them under warranty.

Honda Jazz ES I-Shift 2009
I upgraded from the CVT version and find this new car to be more fun to drive. The CVT was smoother but the i-shift works well too. From a cold start I use the manual option, in order to change up rapidly, then shift it into automatic when the car is warmed up. Only once have I opted to shift down manually, when facing a very steep descent. At all other times I let the i-shift do its job in automatic, and cannot fault its performance. I commonly carry a folding wheelchair behind the front seats; this leaves the ’boot’ space free for other luggage. With the rear seats down, the new Jazz will also carry an electric invalid carriage, with plenty of spare room for shopping. The driver’s seat can be raised much higher than in the old version, giving a panoramic outlook to rival an MPV. Only one complaint, and it’s a minor one, like its predecessor the new Jazz still gives a somewhat jittery ride over poor surfaces, but I forgive it since in all other respects the car is ideal. I love it.

Honda Jazz 1.4 EX i-Shift 2009
Having bought my Jazz last February I have found it meets all my needs. I agree the i-Shift is ’differant, but no more than that. Having read my handbook and taken the trouble and time to practice using the i-shift - it works well, folks! Do not expect it to operate as other well established automatics.

Honda Jazz esi 2009
This is a great Car and my 14th Honda! I started aound 1972/3 with a Honda N600, then a Honda Z, then one of he first Honda Civics in York. Since them I have had two other Civics, a Honda 600 truck, four Honda preludes, a Honda H-RV and a Honda C-RV. I’ve now got the Jazz, which I’ve had 10 days. I’ve only been let down once by one of their Preludes, which let me down with the petrol pump but then redeemed itself on the drive. Great Cars.

Honda Jazz 2009
Went for a test drive. Must say that the i-shift "auto"is dreadful compared with my truly automatic 1.4, 3-year old Jazz. Also,the dealer wanted to add on £175 for not having a spare wheel! Think again Honda.

Honda Jazz 1.4 ES manual 2009
Although I have owned my Jazz for just one month and clocked up only 480 miles, mainly on B roads in Surrey and Sussex, I can honestly say that it is a delight to drive. The seats are really comfortable, better than some of the more expensive cars I’ve owned. Close inspection reveals good fit and finish, no squeaks or rattles and taken over all, a well built little car. Must go, I’m of for a drive, just for the fun of it.

Honda Jazz i-shift 2009
I agree with Colin Horey - the i-shift in auto mode is dreadful. Previously I had a Jazz Sport Auto which I loved. I’ve even considered exchanging my new Jazz for the previous model!

Honda Jazz ishift 2009
Having just read Ian Sinclair’s report on the Jazz ishift I have to agree. In auto mode it is absolutely terrible. I have had the car 4 weeks and used it mainly in manual. My previous Jazz was auto which I had 4 years. I am very sorry I bought this. Honda should go back to the drawing board and design a good auto.
