Review of HONDA JAZZ (click here for pricing, standard specification, options etc.)

Advantages: Clever use of space and good driving position; economical

Disadvantages: Less refined than some rivals

Summary: A clever and practical supermini which makes so much sense - but appears slightly boring compared to some rivals


Trust Honda to come up with the best engineering efforts. The Jazz has been at the top of the supermini pile since it was first launched thanks to its generous space and strong build quality. For such a small car, its practicality is ingenious with a large boot and seats that either fold flat altogether for a totally flat floor - or you can fold forward the seat base for two separate 'compartments'. Head and legroom is excellent and the driving position will suit virtually everyone, with plenty of adjustment. Add to that the strong economy and low running costs - and it all makes so much sense! Dealers are offering virtually no discount, but AutoeBid can squeeze out a good saving in the auction.
