2004 Honda Jazz LS 1.4 petrol

Summary:

The best little car you can buy if you're looking for reliable car

Faults:

Nothing went wrong so far. It works perfectly.

General Comments:

Small but practical and spacious car. Very smooth driving at low and medium speeds. On highways at higher speeds it's a little bit noisy and it feels like jumping a little.

Unstable on turns at higher speed (slides sidelong) and it feels like front wheels touching the ground only with edges - this is the reason why edges of the tyre are wearing faster (although the geometry is OK).

It has problem with misting windows, but turning on the air-conditioning solves the problem.

Drivers seat cannot be moved backward enough for tall driver.

If you're only looking for a reliable little car that will serve you perfectly, buy it. Comparing it with the VW Polo, the Jazz is of higher quality, but the Polo is much more stable on the road if you drive aggressively.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

After having replaced Yokohama tyres with Bridgestone B250, the car's stability in turns has been drastically improved.

Summary:

Great car!!!

Faults:

Nothing!!

General Comments:

I want to buy a car with automatic transmission (here in Croatia this is very difficult), so I do a lot of research over the Internet about similar cars Renault Modus, Opel Astra, Skoda Fabia and some other, but Honda JAZZ is the best car for the money. This is the best automatic transmission on planet earth, 'cause the car is always in "right" gear. Cruising around town your rpm are about 1500-2000, the car and the engine is without any noise, but when you driving 160km/h constantly the engine is very silent. This 1.4Liter engine, not V6 or more!!!

Fuel consumption around town is 5,5-6,5liter/100km. My last trip from Rijeka (Croatia) -Genova (Italy) -Rijeka (Croatia) (1400km) 14hours of driving with only stops on petrol stations to refill the tank (43Litres) was great. After 14hours of driving I don't feel any kind of fatigue. For 10months of usage the car has passed 30000km and the car is like new, the tyre's (Yokohama) are like new, interior is like new, and everything else.
