Best car Ive possibly ever owned!
One of the best small cars on the car market. Economical, reliable and has the magic seats - which separates Jazz from other small car. I moved my entire house (except for the sofa and fridge) in the Jazz! Amazing car which is almost bullet proof! A plus! Thoroughly recommended.

I love this car
My Honda Jazz has stuck with me through thick and thin - across the Nullabor and more. Servicing is always very cheap, as there are never any issues!! Plus good mileage. It doesn't have much oomph, but is that really what you're looking for if you're keen on a Jazz? It does what it needs to do and has been super reliable.

almost spectacular
My super reliable Subaru Impreza was 20 years old and with a small inheritance it seemed time to update. After much searching, the Honda Jazz i-VTEC seemed just right and wow!
It's a dream to drive...never driven an automatic. .....so smooth and quiet, generally.
Love that the seat raises, for ease of vision, speaking of which, there seem to be no serious blind spots.
There's so much space and so many seat configurations, making an extremely roomy hatch.
The electronics were baffling at first, but I'm getting there.
Economically it'...Read more
s incredible! Return trip Bendigo/Canberra was $80 give or take a couple. Incredible, my much loved, trusty Impreza cost around $230 ish for the same trip. The only problem has been a screamworthy rattle that is sometimes a whisper and at others extremely loud. The dealer has tried many options, over 6 days, each time trying something different. No luck. They suggest contacting Honda direct, hoping someone there can fix it. Also, on a recent trip, 2 screws fell out of the plastic tray, under the front if the motor. Fixed, no problem, however, seems they have never had either of those problems before. Overall, my lovely Jazz is mechanically sound, a dream to drive and so spacious...well, I'm under 160cm tall, so it's a perfect fit. Adore it....well, once the rattle is dealt with.

Great city car!
Good driving experience, great mileage, and the magic seats are unbelievably useful. I fit a bike in the car without any problem. The cruise control is useful on the highway. The interior is basic, a lot of plastic but a lot of useful nooks for putting stuff. I travel around 600 km a week and spend less than $150 on petrol. I would recommend it as a city car.

Nice family/weekend car
Have always had no problems with Honda Jazz even from previous generations. Steering is smooth sailing, added with cruise control makes it a breeze. Very reliable, never break down unlike VW golf I had previously had 3 engine replacements within 4 years.
Very spacey interior, plenty leg room, and the best thing is rear seats foldable completely flat providing massive room, becomes almost like a van. The boot has alot of room too perfect for family. Fuel efficiency as advertised, and though not turbocharged or anything still gives pretty decent kick when I need it to. Engine is very quiet. Only -ve is I wish it came with a SAT NAV option...

Car is ok. Had paint issues since the 2nd year of use
Car is ok overall but I've had some paint issue since the 2nd year of purchase. Brought it back to Scotts Honda multiple times and they exchanged the doors. Pretty bad experience considering you're buying a new car. Would I buy it again, probably not. Probably just my bad luck!

Smartest car ever
It's always been on my wishlist and I've finally bought it.
I can think of a better car:
runs on nothing (18km/l) and makes me feel good cause it respectful towards the planet.
it's big enough to bring my 3 surfboards around (shortboards 6'3" the longest).
the foldable seat system is mindblowing and so quick.
the engine has a timing chain, requires lower maintenance and I can service it myself.
CONS
paint job could have been better, but hey, nobody is perfect

Perfect for small family
Best car I owned, Loving my Honda Jazz. Really economical with the fuel.
Small car with lots of feature like parking sensor, cruise control, bluetooth, usb, outside temperature, touch screen audio system, and many more.
The only drawbacks is the routine servicing with honda sometimes is expensive. They have to do what Toyota is doing which is cap servicing.

Great small car
The performance of the car is great, very smooth and enough power for a small car. It is quite noisy, but it is given because it is a small car. There is actually a lot of leg room for a small car, the dashboard could be a bit more sleek and stylish but I love the reverse camera. However, I did have the battery (the car is only 3 years old) die on me which wasn't great but they replaced it under my warranty. The only explanation I was given, was that 'it happens.' The driver's seat door doesn't close properly too if you do it lightly. However, the car is able to run on fuel very efficiently and overall, it is a solid car.

Excellent value and Honda quality engineering
Purchased for elderly father who wanted a smaller car. I'm a Honda fan so this was my first choice. The budget came down to a new Jazz or a 9 month old Cerato. Honda had a January sale so we got the added bonus of 7 yr warranty plus it's 2018 plated.
Aside from the sale price, the Magic Seats were a big drawcard - ideal for walking frames or wheelchairs if/when required. Rear legroom is better than my Civic.
The interior is basic - fewer distractions/complications/things that can break. Reverse camera is subject to glare - solution is to keep a piece of cardboard at the ready under the dashmat for sunny days.

Not too impressed
I have owned my Honda jazz (gk) since start of 2015.
At first, I was really impressed and happy with the purchase in regards to the versatility, style, and performance.
As the years go by, I started to notice imperfections here and there on the finishing of bumpers not lining up to the body/door ect.
The plastics around the steering/dash area would rattle.
As most people would say, the fuel consumption is poor. Very difficult to keep it under 7.8L/100 in city driving. And highway don't seem to improve much, 7.5L/100. And I'm driving like a ...Read more

versatility on wheels
What a pleasure to drive this little car. Mine is new, and the cheapest of the range. You'd never know - such good value. No wonder there are so many on the road. Handles beautifully, and not too many bells and whistles. Power steering and braking excellent. Feels very sturdy despite its size.
Comfortable seats. Driver seat has a dinky pump-up lever which is great for shorties like me. Interior is a bit like the Tardis - bigger on the inside. Hard to credit how versatile the interior is. A folding wheelchair fits comfortably into the hatchback...Read more

Third Jazz and still thrilled
I purchased a Honda Jazz VTi in December - my third - I found both previous cars delightful to drive and own and was hoping I would be as satisfied with this one. It drives beautifully, has good acceleration, handles well and is very quiet. The dashboard layout is easy to understand and all features function well. The seats are very comfortable and the flexibility of the boot and seat arrangement is amazing. Naturally we call it the Tardis.

Best for storage magic rear seats best rating from Top Gear not fast being a 1300cc auto great little mover never let us down over 10 years drove from Cairns to Townsville 3 times at 80/90 klm an hour.tailgate opening large as is the load area with the magic rear seats system they fold flat or lift up and passenger down. My Daughter will never let it go even though the Jazz is 10 years old. She has had the Jazz 9 years.Only issue metalic paint seems thin as it scratches easy reminds me of my 1967 Cortina when Ford started the metallic paint idea but still love the car

Reliable city car that can also travel long distances
The engine is only 1.3l and reviews from the time I bought it called it small and ineffectual, but performance is more than adequate if you put your foot down, it will easily cruise on the freeway at the legal limit, although it might down change a gear on long hills. Like most Honda engines it likes to rev. It's only a light car, and crashes and bangs a bit over big bumps, but apart from that, the ride is good. It's easy to park and amazingly large inside for such a small car, and very flexible for transporting bits large screen TVs, compost ...Read more
bins, bicycles. I bought the car at around 10,000 km and so far it's done 58,000km. I've driven it several times from Melbourne to the Hunter Valley in NSW but for the most part I use it around the city. A year or two ago I had to replace the fan motor for the heater and air-con (a known fault, but which Honda Australia tend to keep very quiet about). The car was made in Thailand, so when I was on holiday there, I bought the spare parts and had them fitted locally, total cost was around $130 for parts and around $60 for labour. Honda aren't renown for cheap servicing costs, so I imagine it would have cost more if i had bought the parts here. Apart from that I've replaced the battery and the tyres and nothing else. It's very economical to run, and my local garage maintains it without any problems. They reckon it'll easily go 200,000 km. It's now eight years old and feels like it will run another eight years before I have to replace it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Nice city car
This is a small car, so the power engine only has 1.5l. It has a good room inside the car. You can use it to move something not that big, as you can fold the back seat down. The running cost won't be high, as it is 6.7l/km. I like this car, as it is easy to park.

Love my Jazz!
Greatest car ever, Has all of the modern bites you would expect. Nice lines in the design of the car. Mine is back and it is rather sleek :D Very economical.
This car can fit a huge amount into the boot, we fitted a fridge in once but is also SOOO easy to park has it has a very small footprint.

Comfortable and versatile car
This is my second Jazz, the first was a Manual 1.3 LT 2010 Jazz limited edition. The second a VTI-S 2014/15 Automatic. I really can not fault either vehicle. In my latest Jazz, I have done 76,600 km mainly on sealed roads throughout Queensland. Great for travelling with suitcases for holiday breaks, moving household goods. I have had many cars in the past ( Peugeot, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai). I am entirely satisfied with what my Jazz's have offered me. Neither missed a beat. Whether you are going on short runs or longer ones, the vehicle is c...Read more
omfortable, the suspension a little brittle over road bumps. My VTI-S has a good sound system and I am fortunate to have had a CD in my car which later models abandoned which I consider a mistake.The car is very economical on petrol. Whenever I have had to get into another small vehicle, I long to get back into my Jazz. I think the car has style and looks a class above the rest in the shopping car park. I am considering getting into my third Jazz next year!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Further notes on fuel consumption
After four months ownership and about 4000 kms, I have found that fuel consumption is about eight litres per hundred kilometres around the city, six out in the country and seven overall. I still enjoy driving this car. It is a very lively performer despite the excellent fuel economy. I have mostly got used to the firm suspension.

perfect for starting families!
It's a tiny car but it doesn't fail to surprise us how much space it has. We have never had space problems (based on our needs) from transporting our dogs, groceries, bringing tons of luggages to the airport, shopping for (not so big) furniture. The ride is also pretty smooth and very economical compared to our previous cars.

My gf's honda is 2003 and has been sent the car back to mechanics for fixing CVT transmission issue for a few times. I am wondering after what year Honda Jazz actually fixed the problem and is safe to buy? Or does it exist in all models?
