Honda Jazz

The CVT must be addressed first. It's just woeful, every first gen Jazz with more than a few thousand km's suffer from CVT shuddering during take off (mainly on hills). Reverse gear can be extremely shuddery and sketchy. It's CVT with it's silly starting clutch is clearly a terrible and faulted design that I truly think should have been recalled. The best you can do is flush the oil regularly (with genuine Honda CVTF oil, the only oil that recommended with this transmission and it's starting clutch.) and use XADO 120 additive.

What else isn't ...

Feel free to dislike my comment but if u do i would do too!!

I have to tell u the honest reason why i hate this car because it's light and floaty, i barely can feel the clutch pedal, i'm a big guy, i prefer a car with a stiffer and a harsher ride to it. The 1.2 2017 Jazz baseline model performance wasn't great, it was losing power on the uphill, also felt sluggish in the highway.The handling was ok though but i had driven this car for 2yrs. Some like it some don't, however it is spacious and good on fuel. My opinion, my rights so deal with it!

We bought this car brand new back in 2012 and have been using it as our main family vehicle ever since. We have clocked up 325,000 km so far and have never had a single problem with it. All that it has required is the usual maintenance as per the recommended service schedule. We started using premium petrol in it somewhere around the 250,000km mark but before that used plain unleaded petrol. The interior is bigger than you would expect from a small car, so we are able to fit five adults in it quite easily when required. The car still runs ve...

Best car I have ever owned. Drove Sydney - Perth - Darwin - Brisbane - Sydney without missing a beat. Just had 90,000km service without a problem. Third Honda I have owned (including a 2000 Integra) and definitely the best.

I like the design of the car internal space. It's a small car but bigger internal space comparing other brand car at the same level. I used to ship a brand new top load washing machine home so you can imagine what you can do with this car. The car has everything, like cruise control, which won't be available for other cars at base model. The downside is the maintenance cost is a bit high, 6 months service interval at minimum $249 is what you are going to pay. But overall, quite reliable car.

Bought brand new 2017. Used everyday for work and everyday life. Drive thru states and rough road is not an ideal car, you can feel the bump even the road surface slightly rough. Service every year, after SECOND YEAR, the squeaking sound of the break just annoying. Brought the car to Honda service but the dealer said cant do anything about it. Brought to another honda dealer and same answer, but a bit of extra “if you want to fix it, it will cost money”. The bluetooth system started to turn on/off randomly sometimes
I had car accident and the problem was my car got written off while the Ute behind just a tiny dent.
Paid extra for the seat cover protect and the external coat protect….useless

After much comparing I went for the Honda Jazz. As a second car its perfect. Not a car for long trips if you have something more comfortable in the garage but a fun, super practical little work horse. Yes the seats are magic as Honda claim. Its also surprisingly quick if you use the revs. The CVT transmission works perfectly and certainly helps the lively performance. Space inside is exceptional, the Tardis of small compacts. One niggle and its a big one, its the only Honda that expects servicing every six months! Not sure I would have ...

This car was used to go shopping, do errands, meet friends and family and much more! Perfect little size to squeeze into any parking spot and also a very good looking car with handy features!

Bought my car new in Sept 2019 and have not been disappointed. It was a tough choice after owning Mazdas for more than 8 years but it is roomier inside than the Mazda 2 and the pull-up back seat makes it very useful. It holds Mum's walker and great for holding the pet cage for taking my cat to the vet. Also find the blue tooth audio has great sound (I love listening to audio books and music whil travelling). Highly recommended.

I am very disappointed with aspects of my Jazz. the console containing the radio/phone/GPS is rubbish. So many things have happened with it, including total black out, including no reverse camera. The phone system is not good, the number listing and call history disappeared for days then suddenly reappeared. I had to pair my phone again and it took seven attempts. Sometime the Bluetooth connects and sometimes it does not EG: yesterday a call came in while I was driving and it did not connect, I pulled over to call the person back and it co...

2016 Honda Jazz 3 year warranty
Starter motor fails at 3 years 3 months and only a Honda starter motor can fit in the space.
2 years later the 2nd starter motor starts to have problems (Honda brand)
The push button door lock/open failed before the battery in the keys needed replacing! I have a 20 year old Toyota thats push button on the key still works.
I will never be touching a Honda again. They are just cheap garbage these days.

Honda Jazz is a good car except for its GPS. The GPS has major flaws in its logic and algorithms. It gets the destination wrong, the route wrong. Instead of travelling on a main road, the route directs you to make a detour to local road then go back on the main road.
The GPS in Honda Jazz is a disgrace and does not worth a cent!
If you are thinking of buying Honda Jazz and relying on its GPS, PLEASE DON’T BUY.

After all my research, I was still confused. But the moment I stepped into the Honda Jazz, I had a feeling it had to be this car. It's a very unassuming car from the outside, Small. The inside is very spacious, in fact it's the clever way in which the Jazz has been designed. It has one of the most spacious boot in its category. The driver and front passenger space is superb. Even the rear passenger has a lot of gap between the knee and back rest of the front seats. Drives like a Honda . Perfect. It's this very nice feeling whenever I drive this...

This is an updated review. Previously I put a 4 star. After I have had the car for over a year now, I discovered that the GPS is defective. I bought the car from Parramatta Honda. Yesterday I put an address into GPS, it would not take me to destination and it would take me to a wrong destination even after I re-entered the address. The GPS would take me to the same street of a different suburb. DON'T BUY this car unless they fix this issue. If you still want to buy this car, make sure you get a few thousand dollars off the price to take into account of this defective goods.

Purchased Hornsby March 2018. Sold the old model privately as trade in a joke. Sold the older model easy.
This engine is the 1.5 (bigger than my older 1.3) and i note no longer has the dual spark plugs per cylinder so not as peppy. Overall the car runs pretty well but where I'm very disappointed is the accessories.
The reversing camera is crap. Im told the model earlier had a much better camera and i was surprised no reversing alarms.
The radio is crap. Older model wasn't good... but this model is terrible. 'AM' radio sensitivity / reception is...
