The prospect of a new Jazz should be greeted with open arms and the new version still looks like a Jazz but has a more grown up feel without falling victim to unnecessary dimension increases. It has been penned by the same designer who created the Civic, and the similarities are obvious, and it remains a car of practicality.

A revised version of the 1.4 petrol engine brings improvements in economy and performance, much work has been done to improve the ride quality, with revised suspension settings also aiding the driving experience.

Inside the jazz it really starts to impress it still keeps the uncluttered feel as before this time match with a use of better materials, a more appealing design and improved equipment levels. With the controls not looking out of place on a higher spec Honda you never feel like you’ve made a compromise.

This is a car that does everything you could ask of it and will never let you down, isn’t that what every car should do?
