AgainstNot the best drive, firm ride
Given that it was launched back at the start of 2002, it would be natural to think that the Honda Jazz would now have been overrun by younger competitors, for such is the nature of progress. But that’s not the way it’s turned out.
The Jazz proves that sound fundamental design is still the most important criteria if a car is to have staying power, even in these fickle and fashion-conscious 21st century times. Indeed for most of that time it has been the clear class leader among small hatches and it’s only now, as it enters its fifth year in production that European rivals have started to offer it a consistent, credible challenge.
