2004 Honda Jazz VTi-S 1.5L petrol
Summary:
The Jazz has reignited my love for driving
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong so far.
A package as complete as this should have four wheel disk brakes, but the Jazz still has drums on the back.
The centre-rear passenger seat is a little squashy and the seat belt is awkward.
Some reviews suggest the previous model's drive was harsh, but the 2005 model is very comfortable.
General Comments:
The exterior size looks tiny, but inside it's huge. Four full size adults sit very comfortably with great leg and head room.
The engine is very responsive and fuel economy for a car of this power is amazing.
The 5-speed manual is so smooth and easy to drive.
The "magic seat" system is so practical, you wonder why every car doesn't have the flexibility of storage like the Jazz.
The looks of the 2005 VTI-S are superb. No longer a ladies car only.
Auto everything makes this an excellent value for money car with a quality brand name.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree with all you have said. I have owned many Honda's having bought a new Australian Honda City when they first hit Australia in 1984. All these small Honda's are well built and of a better standard than the best from their competition.
I have been in the motor industry for many years and appreciate the standard of engineering excellence in Honda motorcycles and cars. They are for the most part, better to service and maintain and stay in good condition longer in my experience.
