Honda Jazz 1.5 S Skyroof (A) Review
24 Feb 2009  |  Honda Reviews
Just as well. If we had it our way, version two of Singapore's crowd favourite wouldn't even need a review - people buy it anyway because it has a superb track record. Now, there's also a 1.5-litre option. Will that make sense?

once u get your ride, few things that is recommended to do(not according to priority)
-get door seal(front 2 door is a must)
-undercoat(soundproofing)
-aftermarket air intake(better low-mid power...slightly)
-braided brake hose
-rims, tires and brake pad(depending your driving style)

What I like
-looks sporty
-decent FC
-power
-spacious
-agile
-not much blind spot except for A pillar(my case)
-compact and neat
-easier to check on brake pads compare with Fit(rear drum)

What I do not like
-right hand corner view blocked by A pillar
-road and wind noise
-gap between wheels and body too big(car too high)
-DBW(a bit slow response)
-ABS(a bit slow response)
-I-Vtec(not so powerful around 2k-3.5k rpm*estimated)

One of the most powerful in the range of 1.3 litre car. With disc brakes built in, not much of modifications to be made to the car as it is as good as it comes. However, if there is a need to modify the car, there are many things to modify at an affordable price!

What I like
All that is in it. Not much of modifications needed to be made, except unless you are looking for a more powerful engine?

What I do not like
Maybe a boost in engine? Maybe a much powerful engine as it tends to move a little slower when driving up a slope.

This car simply exhibits the greatness of Honda engineering. You can't beat the practicality of this car, it is very spacious for its size and it has smart flat-fold rear seats to boost space if extra cargo room is needed.
Honda Jazz also exemplifies the prowess of Honda's engineering excellence. It is very agile, equipped with RPM happy iVtec engine, GCON chassis structure for excellent safety, and it is still very much a fuel efficient car to drive.

What I like
spaciousness, smart flat-fold-able rear seats
peppy, RPM revving iVtech engine
great fuel consumptions
very fun-to-drive

What I do not like
The features are typical Honda, not much you can boast. Although in the JDM market, Jass/Fit has the fully equipped options, with luxury features such as: keyless entry and keyless start, VSA, auto rain sensor, 8 airbags, etc.

wonderful fuel saver but yet powerful with much room space for a small family. Can be a cool plain ride or sporty look on some add on body kit to burn the road.

What I like
Fuel is the best among its class in the market till now and maintance is super low but yet not unpowered!!!!

What I do not like
boot space abit too small and the absourer is kinda too soft. Need to upgrade to sport and a sport seats for the front will be kinda of geart fisinh. lol

Review
Nifty car great for city driving and also no slouch on the highway. Nice set of colours to choose from.

What I like
Compact yet looks are deceptively as interior is spacious enough. Magic seats can be reconfigued so it can be used as a mini-van. Front windscreen stretches a lot and offers good visibility. Good handling and turning range.

What I do not like
Nothing much. ride suspension may be a little hard for some folks. Fuel economy may not be as good as older models. May have some body-roll when turning corners at speed.

Review
I have been using this car for almost 4 years to date. I was looking looking for a fuel efficient and reliable car back then as my main criteria. The Honda Jazz easily fits my requirements.
The driving is smooth and pick up is considered good for a 1.3 vehicle. The design is great and prominent even from afar.

What I like
Spacious interior. The car looks small from the outside, yet there is actually plenty of room for items to fit in. This is especially so due to the tall head room and collapsable rear seats.
Parking is extremely easy due to it's size. You will never have to worry squeezing thru cramp alleys! Having a small U-turn radius is also its asset.
Design of the vehicle is great too!

What I do not like
Personally it will be nice if there are more advanced interior features but others may just be satisfied with the simplicity of the interior & easy to use functions for a no hassle driving.

The fuel consumption is excellent. Great interior and exterior feature which suits well for the young and senior drivers.

What I like
I like everyting about jazz. From the engine to the body and etc. Tip top quality in sense we need not worry of any breakdown or any faulty to the car.

What I do not like
The dashboard which at times slippery when turning and all the items on the dashboard would follow.

Been driving my friend Fit for 3 months now.'testing out'

No regrets changing this car. I get in and i'm all smiles... This car is everything I expect it to be.
Look around on the roads when you drive. Count the number of Fit's/ Jazz you happen to see.

Need i say more?

Best....

What I like
Internally Spacious. 2 of my Fatty Friends including me can sit without cramps. haha.

Wonderful 1.3 Engine, its only 1.3, yet you dont feel like it!

Plenty Aftermarket Parts. Can make the car look like a spaceship, feel like one too!

Value for Money... Less petrol cost... Road Tax... bla bla bla.

Many cup holders... Honda Fit encourage you to drink plenty of water!

Boot space OK for a hatchback!

What I do not like
Hopefully none... but no car is perfect.

Time will tell.

The dashboard layout is impressive with controls in knob giving me a 'fun-to-drive' feeling. With Honda Jazz featuring the 5 speed auto transmissions with steering mounted paddler shifters, it adds in more fun. It's stlyish regardless internal or external and its fuel efficient. I can say that it is meticulously design targetting the savvy new customers market. Thumbs up and full marks for this jazz!

What I like
It gives me a "WoW" impression when i sits in.
The whole driving experience is a joy. Its comfortable and supportive seats gave us a good driving position especially when Driver's seat can be cranked up and down. The cream of this lovely jazz will be it's innovative space saving boot! The user friendliness of folding the rear seats makes an excellent convenience! The adjustable steering, sporty meters and all controls are effortless to use. No questions asked about its sturdy material!

What I do not like
Everything seems so perfect even the name of the car. The only reason that i can think of not liking is myself for not owning such a fabulous car.

Review
I use to own Honda Fit (Jazz) as my first car in Singapore bought from a parallel importer. I was skeptical about the car initially but coaxed from my dad to get it. Never regretted. It is still my favourite car.

I recall I can hold two metal cabinets in the car when the backseats were put down and lots of potted plants during one Chinese New Year season. Passengers have very comfortable ride and I get constant feedback on how spacious the car is, including the backseats. I've also sat a few times at the backseat and given that I am six feet tall, I am surprise that the car is so comfortable. As a driver, there were hardly much visual blockage, including the upper part of the windscreen given that I am tall.

The updated Jazz is just as spacious and has a sportier look. The car somehow reminds me of a guinea pig - cute, runs very fast and a nice sexy bum - which describes the car itself. With a i-Vtec engine below 1.6l, the mileage is good yet there is not much lost in power. Given it's look, I can actually dress-up the car in decal to make it looks a those sports cars in the race.

The only thing I would like to see is a convertible Honda Jazz which would make it even more attractive and sexy.

What I like
Powerful, spacious, sporty, below 1.6l engine

What I do not like
Slightly angled front lights cover

Review
I've owned the previous jazz model and now i'm driving the current model as well.

Everyone asked me why did i change to the same car? Actually its quite simple.

I look for a few things when i decide to buy a car… Obviously, price is a important factor, but so is the comfort it offers, the exterior and interior design, the features it has. And the jazz ticks all the right boxes for me. Maybe not so much on the performance side, for its only a 1.3l.

It may have the same name but to all purposes its an all new car model. Can i see myself driving it for the next few years? Yes. Until the next new jazz model comes along ha!

What I like
Spacious
Styling
Reliability
Paddle shift
Comfort

What I do not like
Need to rev when climbing slopes to keep the speed up
OMV=Price is on high side
Rear boot could be bigger but its a hatchback so...

This car has the best fuel economy, despite the fact that it is not a hybrid. The initial price tag that greets you might give you a scare, but fret not. With a low road tax, good fuel economy without sacrificing power, on the long run, the Jazz is definitely the best compact car of the year.

What I like
The power, the fuel economy, and the long run savings.

What I do not like
The small boot space, high price tag.

Dear Car lover,

In today Car Industries, we are spoil for Choice to choose the Best and suitable Car in our daily drives.
Well, I nominated Honda Jazz cause;

HONDA group spend tons and Million of Dollar in Research and Design. Is powerful, Small externally but Big and spacious internally ya, FC is proven "Drink less Fuel type of Car" and is reliable Japanese made vehicle with Good Resale Value here.

I therefore vote for Honda Jazz ya.

What I like
Powerful in this segment yet Fuel efficiency is proven in most forum of it's track record.

Please refers to the above mentioned advantages and benefit.

What I do not like
a small size vehicle that doesn't suit my family size - 5 adult and one kid

Review
Test drove the Jazz 1.5A with family. Wife and kids all quite happy with car. After discussing with family wanted to book, and chose a colour. But Agent said no stock, and tried to push other colours which were 2008 YOM. Alamak! I thought how can they try to clear their old stock this way? Instead of satisfying demand, they try to supply down (clear stock) to customers. tsk tsk! Left the place without a second thought.

What I like
Car felt zippy, fun for city drive

What I do not like
Felt like they were forcing you to choose some colours, like what they have as leftover from 2008.
