I’ve owned 3 Hondas. None let me down…….ever.
We have this car at home since 2010 and still running as we speak....very reliable
Gott a 09 2.4 Accord. Regularly Germany to Scotland... 0 problems. 5 German cars new or fairly new all broken down on the road. Service including gearbox oil ..275. No coding for parts etc.Honda...its a beautiful thing.
Ace channel mate. Well done
These are very well engineered cars. Much better that any German or French alternative.
Any jap car is
My mother still drives her honda jazz and she is 91. I owned an aerodeck years ago and honda are like duracell.
Had a MK1 version of the Jazz. What it lacked in character and fun it made up for in versatility - we even moved house in it. In terms of reliability - the exhaust fell off but otherwise it started on the button and got you to your destination.
The bullying you get in a small car? We'll I presently go between a Fiat Panda MK3 (brilliant little cars btw) and a Citroen DS3 and it comes with the territory when you have someone with a Audi A3 on finance having a power-trip on the motorway
K20 swap 😅
Love this review - and your buyers guide review for this car! My husband and I currently drive a 2006 Micra (definitely another car you get bullied on the road for driving haha) however it's sadly reached its last days. Planning to upgrade to a new old lady card and this review has sealed the deal. Price and reliability are key to us as we're on a tight budget. Keep up the great work, your reviews are so entertaining even if you aren't a car person. Thank you again.
Great review 👍
I drive a 2003 Toyota Yaris, and frequently get that same nonsense from some aggressive drivers. And I drive safely, but by no means sluggishly!
Thank you for another super informative video! I am currently contemplating replacing my ageing Yaris for either another Yaris or a Jazz, from around 2011-2013 in either case. My only concern with my current Yaris is motorway fatigue, given that I will be driving longer journeys in the near future. It’s been an absolutely bomb-proof, brilliant car otherwise. I like the more relaxed drive of my partner’s old Civic, but I don’t want the lower mpg and larger car size that goes with it. You have answered very nicely many of my questions about the Jazz mk2!
In a perfect world, I would love to have a Honda CR-Z, but the bad rear visibility, ageing batteries, and scarce/expensive parts put me off.
Great video, as a biker that just wants a practical cheap reliable small car these looks perfect. Don't need cool, don't need fast ! When i'm in the car speed limits are mandatory....on the bike advisory.....
After my leather seated top of the range Ford Focus Ghia ended up going to we buy any car after 6 months of ownership following a crack in the engine at 30,000 miles, I just wanted something reliable so purchased Honda Jazz EX for £5,300 from a Honda dealership in West Bromwich (despite not being a Granny). With the exception of rear break callipers sticking at 13 years old (maybe down to inactivity caused by covid lockdown) and a clutch change and spark plug change at 75,000 miles, nothing has gone wrong with it (and despite its car for OAP status, I actually find it can be quite fun to drive - just wish they had made a Type R version in this country with the huge BHP like they did in other countries). Great video.
Hondas do have rear calipers problems including the accords
My wife has a 1.4 and you are right, they are a hoot to drive. The only thing that had failed is the air con which has sprung a leak. Otherwise it is bullet proof. I've noticed the bullying too, especially when I've overtaken someone on a dual carriageway.
I've been to Cornwall twice in it and whilst it isn't at home on the motorways, it is on the narrow Cornish roads.
Did it cost much money to fix rhe air con looking at the shuttle myself
@@Jay-nb9ii About £500 as the front of the car has to come off.
That is very true about how other car users treat me when I drive my honda jazz😂
In America we get the 1.5 liter L15. Got 123,000 miles on my 2011 and counting. A truly great car.
we had the next generation jazz decent enough to drive when on the right tyres gear change on the jazz was even better than the fk2 civic type r that we own alongside a suzuki swift
Loved my Jazz ❤️
Pls do a used Kia Rio review.
Hi all, planning on buying a 2nd gen Jazz, which would be better ? 1.2 or 1.4? Is that 10 hp really matter?
you never mentioned the GG6 chassis jazz SI-T model with uprated suspension, alloy wheels, Sat nav, Bluetooth, etc etc
Honda, Toyota, Mazda, nothing else.
Best car I’ve ever owned. Top reliability and economically to run and insure.
Mk2 are built to last for next the decade.
Should you buy a Honda Jazz/Fit? Yes of course. It's a Honda. Never owned a Jazz but had three Civics. Great cars. I would avoid that i-shift box personally (also an option on the mk8 Civic BTW) but each to their own.
In South Africa we have 1.3 and 1.5( Manual is the way)
Surprisingly, the automatic is the one I have to scroll past a lot....
I don't think we got the idrive in my region; I only see the CVT ones.
What's the opinion on the SI jazz?
7:42 i do the opposite i bully them in my mk2 jazz
😂
Same here mate. Tired of having to slow down for people in larger cars because my Jazz can carve corners all day with great haste. Like it's on rails.
A Jazz would never be on my list of cars to own but although my one year of ownership of my Civic sport plus ended today replaced by a Qashqai because it was a very low mileage very clean example with a tow-bar for transporting my mountain bike I would highly recommend Honda as a brand. My only glitch in a year was a parking sensor lost its clip on the rear bumper falling into the inside of said bumper 5 minutes in the garage rectified the issue. I do like your brand of presenting in your reviews so I for one look forward to your content in 2024. Have a really good Christmas and New Year when it comes.
This or an i10? Thanks
The wierd thing is this car is in a high insurance bracket for what it is
Don’t buy idsi Jazz has 8 spark plugs abs pain in butt. Ever tried a yaris?
I've got a 2011 manual Honda Jazz. Very light clutch and steering and all controls well laid out.
I didn't get the top of the range EX but the one below, the ES. I can live without the sunroof and Bluetooth (have aftermarket device). I don't have cruise control which would have been nice. However many Jazz owners prefer the ES to EX because the former has 15 inch alloys instead of 16 inch. Tyres are a more common size and cheaper and ride is better, especially on our poor road surfaces.
I have an EX. The 16 wheels are better for handling, but the ride is rough af, especially on the roads nowadays.
Hondas are very reliable. The only issue is corrosion developing underneath.
Very true!
@@ScottishCarClan I imagine you don't get salt on the roads in Scotland? Or do you? Here in Poland cars corrode much sooner because of snowy winters.
@@fixanddrive yes sadly we also get a lot of salt and it speeds up the rusting process. Undercoating can help but I guess you already know that!
The early ones could rust but later ones tend to be much better depending where they come from. I live in Devon and rust on local cars is rarely an issue but cars from Scotland that come down are usually pretty bad. As for image it's interesting, here they are associated with old people but I've just come back from New Zealand and they're considered a young persons car.
@@ScottishCarClan Yes, both my Honda and Mazda were undercoated. If you want, you might have a look. These are the titles of the videos as I can't hyperlink them:

2. Mazda zakonserwowana - Nie tracę gwarancji! - ASO nawet zaleca. konserwacja
Dad had a mk2 one of these. Automatic. Genuinely the worst car he’s ever had. Gearbox was terrible. Just boring to drive. Bright blue. Grim.
It would have been the same gearbox as I have here. I can understand why he wasn’t a fan! I find it quirky but a little slow.
You've covered a few males in it? I'm sorry, sounded funny. I love your accent though.

Why are your roads so narrow?? What's wrong with the UK?
They are old countryside roads. Why are you looking at the road, look at the beautiful scenery! 😊
It's the age and nature of the country. Our roads often began life as cart tracks that became lanes that became roads. That's why our towns and cities are also so badly laid out for modern traffic. The roads follow aged routes that existed before modern travel was ever conceived.
Look at how much rubbish is strewn down that lane at 1:05. what is wrong with people?
