2005 Honda Jazz Dsi 1.4 petrol
Summary:
Smooth and refined and fun to drive
Faults:
No faults yet.
General Comments:
So-called 1.4 engine is really 1339 cc so why does Honda exaggerate?
I drive it at 1 mile altitude and it lacks torque uphill, the engine should be bigger for altitude.
Plastic dashboard is lightweight, could be more solid.
Economy is no better than other 1.3 competitors so engine is overrated.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I too agree with you the Jazz's 1.4i 8v engine does sound a bit coarse at above 4,000 RPM. I test drove one it put me off the Lack of Refinement the performance really died off at above 4,500 RPM. It was a used one so you have to put your foot down to make sure it's performing. So I bought a 1.6L 16V Renault Scenic.
