Honda Jazz (Honda Fit) in-depth review - Carbuyer

- čas přidán 2. 07. 2024
- The Honda Jazz is a supermini but with a strong focus on practicality. It's small on the outside, but impressively spacious on the inside, with a well equipped, quality interior. There's only one engine available - a 1.3-litre petrol paired to either a manual or CVT automatic gearbox - and there are three trim levels to choose from.

Unlike Fords, Honda keeps you away from the workshops and spends most of it's time on the road.
Yes preach it my friend!
I guess you didn't buy the stick
As a mechanic with 18 years experience, that statement is 100% correct. I dread fords. Honda is so much more reliable.
Fords are very reliable cars, you don’t know what your talking about
@@matthewsmith2787 my 13yr ford petrol at 200k miles..no issues only regular maintenance....saying that I can also vouch for honda jazz as my wife owns one..I prefer the ford's drive though
I drove one from Belgium to Northern Italy last year. The car was a remarkeble all rounder. Sufficient driving comfort, great millage, enough performance, space for the bagage for two to spare - and perfect for driving on twisty narrow roads and easy to park. The Honda Jazz can do where you would otherwise need a bigger car for, so you maintain all the practicalities of a smaller car. I know it sounds boring, but thanks to the Jazz I hadn't been bored out last year!
Are the.1. 4 ad. 1.5 aa better option
@@sailormanoyster1849 My girlfriend has the 1.5 Dynamic. It's a bit of give or take compared to my top spec 1.3 ex.
If you want performance, the 1.5 is quick, very quick. 130 hp doesn't sound much, but it comes with lots of extra torque. Makes it very fun to drive!
Downside: you have to like hearing the engine while driving the highway, it drives 120kmh at 3600 or 3700 rpm. It gives it great acceleration out of 6th gear but it aint for quiet cruising.
Other big downsize is there were no options for extra equipment on the Dynamic. Tinted windows and a rear view camera where expensive dealer installations. Automatic climate control and keyless entry were just not available. And for me a big pitty: the stearing wheel on the Dynamic is not leather. The plastic wheel just sweats in your hands on long trips...
So pick your poisson.
Hows the sound insulation?
@@411nightnheaven acceptable, pretty much like a 90s civiv. The 1.5 is quite a noisy engine on >120km/h speeds to it is a pleasant noice. The 1.3 you don't hear that much but you do get tire noise.
I have had two Jazzes and I can't praise them enough. They are tremendously roomy and practical. They could do with a bit more power but then couldn't we all !
@Hank Marving How do you get the best out of the Zetec engine?
"The little extras, you don't have to pay extra for." Good honest review. Loved it!
Camera man
Good job
but car is also important...
The best-selling "hatchback" in Brazil. In second place is the "New" Fiesta. Honda gets an excellent reputation here as well
Camera man! Work!
why?
well you don't see any of the action at 2:00 - no idea what he was thinking there
Daniel Winter ikr the camera man barely shows the car properly when Ginny is trying to show the car features
Ginny is looking fire in the thumbnail. Gudaaaaaam
Seen a few of these about. Looks amazing in white
You guys are so lucky in Europe cars are more often with manual gearbox!
camera man loool daydreaming- you ain't gonna get ginny
@Ali RS PREACH IT!
One of my favourite car , no show off but still nice looking and very practical . Why do reviewers compare many cars to Ford Fiesta ? a bit annoying . Good review anyway .
Another downside, in the UK anyway, is the high insurance grouping allocated to this latest Jazz. Considering it is similar in length and width to a Fiesta, it's in/around Group 18 making it much more expensive to insure than, for example, a Fiesta or Polo
Honda should put it's 1.6 diesel engine in it, it would sell like a hot cakes. And the car would be finally at least a little bit sporty and keep up with the other cars..
agree
Cheers bro.
kagolko we have the 1.6 Diesel engine option in India, and it's great, apart from a little Engine Noise.
Sagar Gaigawale It's a 1.5 not a 1.6.
Siddharth Sai yeah! My bad.
Thanks for a great review. ......nice practical sensible car that for sure.
New Zealand gets the 1.5ltr DOHC in either CVT or 6MT. It's a little beast!
Ginny is 🔥🔥🔥
I needed to downsize and really this was the only small car that did it for me. The VW Polo with all equipment is way too expensive, the Mazda 2 is not spaciour nor practical enough, the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto simply too small. And why people keep raving about cars with known reliability issues like the Ford Fiesta or the Fiat 500? I want value for my Precious money and that is just what the Honda Jazz delivers. And it is even quite good looking!
Have a Civic Type R and had one of these given to me for the day while mine was in for a service, must say I'm very impressed with it and is far better than mine around town, parking etc and especially plush over the bumps obviously lacks the driving dynamics, handling, speed etc of the Type R but a good little car known the less and fully loaded with lots of kit. Very impressed !
Scott Watson wait! They gave you another car while your car was being serviced !!!!! How much did you pay for such an extravagant service ???
I like new Jazz, I want one new and nice color red. But I have still my old Civic 8gen as UFO with manual transmission. I don't like it basic model version without foglights and speed cruise. :( Nice Jazz's review and thanks supporting for Ginny !
I've seen one at brindley Honda in the work shop and the emissions test
Great review I am fond of honda fit I requested you you give suggestion tha Honda fit is best or Toyota equa
Kinda missing the point of the magic seats in this video. The magic bit is where the seat bases lower when you fold the rear seats down to give a flat load space.
Ginny knows how to present. That new guy (the camp one) is hopeless.
Well, If Ginny's selling, I'm buying. Count me in folks.
I have 2000k on mine. For a teenager-early 20s it s awesome. The fuel economy even with a heavy foot is unreal, plenty of space for the mates or for some ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) in the back thanks for the folding seats. Still fun to drive hard in the traffic and for cruising it's pretty good aswell. The gearchange is super satisfying the stearing is precise and grip in any condition is very good (that is that obviously you have to be careful in the wet but still it is responsive). Heated seats as standards are a nice touch (even more with the girls) and they are very good quality (my fathers subaru xvs are worse and the car is twice the price).They hold the value and the reliability should not disappoint so it is a no brainer. My advice is to buy the bare bones version (maybe invest in a white gray or black paintjob since the standard ones are kinda werid just for reselling it easily), all the good stuff is there and if you pay more the engine is not getting nor bigger nor more powerful, all you get is an annoyingly clunky air conditioning control (the standard one is golden) and a pointless navigation system. Still recommend this over anything on it's category.
Carlo Gigante a
Two thousand thousand miles?
Dang 2 million miles for a 1.3l is beyond amazing.
Why are people waffling on about the cameraman? Looks fine to me.
+pipsicle When she did the "magic seat" thing the camera should have panned down to show the space it provides, and how the mechanism works. CarBuyer normally has such good editing and production values that simple mistakes such as this become glaringly obvious.
Same with showing the hidden under boot floor storage but not mentioning it, nor mentioning what sort of spare tyre it has while they had the boot floor already lifted. Yes it's nitpicking, but CarBuyer are the best so we're used to perfection :-)
+Hegemon59 That was 4 months ago you idiot. And speaking of not paying attention it's spelt "That's"
+pipsicle Ever heard a thing called typo? Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Mububban23 who cares, it’s pretty obvious how the back would look with the seats folded like that, wasn’t exactly in civic review from mat either. I actually think the idea is stupid so not missing out
I'd take Ginny anytime, anywhere ;)
So UK cars are all super stiff? Because I drive the Jazz (Fit) in the US and it’s stiffer than most cars I know of.
I have this Honda Jazz. Good when driving on my own.
VERY Slow when it has 3 passengers.
ysgwy really? 😩
ysgwy not for me when in using the cvt, and whooping 4 passengers daily
Same here - have one CVT. yep, only one complain - engine pretty much very weak
please make a review of the ford mustang shelby.
Ginny that pose girl you showed them. Love it.
Vtec baby!!!!
Shame it's got the wheels off a supermarket trolley fitted. Nice review from Virginia
Giggitty
2:20 would have like to see the space when they folded up.
Give me ginny any day!
Ginny is fantastic, the Jazz is a decent car too for it's purpose - but the serious lack of cutaways in this video make this review almost pointless. When talking about the dashboard, we'd like to see it. Equally with the 'magic seats' that we don't get to see.
pls do the chevrolet spark 2016
Why no xenon headlights? With that kind of options here in japan xenon headlights are already included.
yeah n new 1.5 petrol engine (130HP)
I like it.
Anyone here in the comments gone from a qashquai to one of these? I currently have the 14 plate qashquai and I'm tempted to get this.
I own a 15 FIT and a 11 Qashqai. The Qashqai is far more comfortable and has a bigger boot but the fit (Jazz) is a much nicer car to drive, park and has more interior passenger room.
The perfect car for people who don't really care all that much about cars (and I mean that as a compliment as I have one).
why r they not having spare tyre? my wifes jazz is the sane no spare tyre
I prefer Ginny! I think she is more genuine than Rebecca.
In Brazil there's just 1.5 petrol model (115 hp)
In india too bro, guess we are developing countries
in japan they got 1.5 with 130HP (direct injection petrol engine)
Does anyone know how much this car costs?
Honda jazz petrol kesi hy
I've seen Jazz along with other Honda's parked in drives of multi million pound homes. Not many things in life are as depenable as a Honda.
VTech?
I liked Ginny from the beginning but I don't think she's here any more either. These videos all seem prerecorded and to ease us in to next presenter.
Why did she say its not as fun to drive as a fiesta
She should be comparing it to a b-max
My suzuki GV does 25 mpg. Cheers
Anyone see at 4:08 it leaves a trail of red as it goes around the corner
+time4anewme Up the resolution or you are just seeing video compression artifacts, no trail in my youtube window.
Why did they say that there's a lot of legroom? I'm 6'4 and can't fit into any Honda, sadly, I have to stick to German products!
Blame the director, not the cameraman
i came here for this women!
Forgot about about many things (like the leg room or head room didnt show the boot will the seats fall down) and the cameraman is bad. Dislike!!!
a friend of mine in the uk is seeking a car to buy. £12,000 is the budget thru finance any suggestions?
Used stick shift bmw 330i.
buy a bus pass
+Arven Tahtyan so u telling me 12000 quid cant get a mini suv in the uk?
+Brian Carless buy a bus pass
Brian Carless yes but Crossovers are for people that dont like driving. Get a manual bmw and you can carry anything you want and enjoy your drive.
7.4mil/100mil
Jesus Christ!! has there ever been a woman so ravishing, so divine, so perfect as Ginny?
+John Kyon Are you serious?!
Am forkin ded serius I am
John Kyon Wake up brosky.
SIMP
I guess the camera man has just forgot to zoom out and fancies the reviewer.
I've been looking forward to seeing this review, only to have it spoilt by a poor camera operator/director. The major selling point for the Honda Jazz is the 'Magic seat system'. Did you show it? Did you Heck! You showed us only the presenter, smiling into the lens, and talking us through what to expect, but you failed dismally to show the handy ability to offer space in various ways! From there, we were shown sections of the dash, with no direct view of the instrumentation! This was without a doubt the worst review you have ever offered to us subscribers! My suggestion is, go back and re-shoot the whole thing! It really was THAT poor! Sorry!
Spare wheel ? Is there one
Depending on your country.
I believe the candadian models don't have a spare tire while the U.S. does.
Why the camera is focusing on that lady, instead of the car?
50mpg!? the us model only gets 40?
Joe Harrell US gallons are different to UK gallons
Sorry ford sold me on the fiesta
Not gonna lie, I know this is not a place for memes but I can’t help my self...
Ad not sposured by Honda...*
Honda jazz, the new way to get around, come with a free sticker saying YA LIKE JAZZ? On the back and optional on the licence plate, also that YA LIKE JAZZ will often play though your speakers and if you have apples car play connected then if someone texts or calls you it will reply with YA LIKE JAZZ. Also the engine is a YA LIKE JAZZ v6 which produces 30bp instead of hp.
Honda jazz, Jazz in.
YA LIKE JAZZ?
in malaysia, the jazz is 1.5 and only come in auto transmission
that auto transmission is CVT right ?
+Charles Choo yes..its 7 speed with CVT
fabius irvan yeah,but still a CVT,its only lower the speed the RPM (which is like traditional gear when u go to S mode with paddle shift) but dont do that mate,it will make ur CVT break down faster,because CVT is known for its bad reliability
+Charles Choo really? i don't own a jazz actually but i do own a Honda city 2015 which is use the same engine with jazz. i guess its same as jazz
fabius irvan yupz, city and jazz using the same engine and transmission.
but got to give a big thumbs up for that transmission when its on highway though
really fuel efficient, mine was 20km/L on litre (100KM/hour ,2000-2200 RPM)
Big feature.. seat system . never showed it!
jazz or mazda2?
anything but this car, the Mazda 2 and 3 are great cars
of you want good legroom and practicality for hauling bigger items around, go for the Jazz.
If you want a more sporty ride much faster acceleration and dont count on hauling passengers on the rear seats alot or big items, go for the Mazda 2.
I love the sporty feel in the Mazda 2, but there's nearly no legroom in the rear passenger seats.
Where's Matt?
+Sidney Gumbo He left and started his own company!
tbh they've kind of ruined the front of the car by replacing the previous one with that Honda civic-alike one. apparently it's still quite spacious inside , which can be really handy

Ya like jazz?
Hello Carbuyer Daddy Ck Phua Buy The Dark Orange Honda Jazz For Me To Drive My Brand New Dark Orange Honda Jazz
BRING JAMES BACK
+Platlander no
Camera man is sleepiiing
This must be a joke. The Cameraman needs to wake up!
Ginny is like a retired Bond girl
Third generation
Everything ford fiesta ford fiesta. Only ford fiesta ul knw.
She is stunning. The woman, not the jazz.
From back side it look's like Volvo.. and Hyundai i20 looks much better than this one..
ill have to use my imagination on how to fold up the backseat cause i didnt see shit
Not really in depth. Just scratching the surface really 🍄
I feel something became hard while watching this
it's the fourth generation.
Horrid camera work...
She's priiitttty
camera man is not good .
had to drive a jazz while my rio was at the workshop. worst car ive ever driven. the gears feels so akward and short and the car is the slowest ive tried and ive owned a seat mii at some point. 24 hrs i had to live with it and i would not wish it for my worst enermy to drive such a granny bucket
Needs a Diesel or a Hybrid? Nope, I assume a hybrid will be on the cards Honda seems to like introducing them a few years after a car's introduction but a Diesel? Really, the car gets decent MPG as is and while sure diesel is better than ever before every Diesel car I've driven has been woeful and the idea of a diesel in a nippy little car is not right.
Ow Jinny you do it to me every-time !!! HOT HOT HOT
HEY! The steeringwheel is in the wrong side of the car!
Everyone make sure to watch Sultan Eid 2016 Salman Khan:)
fuck that
The camera work is awful !!!
I find the review funny, she pulls a lever and pulls the seat up and says "I'm sure you can see why I think this is one of the most practical small cars around"
I would be able to see if you did some work with regard to camera angle, the whole interior section camera angle is focused on the presenter and not the car... This is why unsubscribed in the first place, not due to change of presenters necessarily. You need some work to get the camera angles as good as previous presenters.
