Honda Jazz (2020 on)
EX
Simply effortless
This is a great little car. Most of my driving is now in town where the hybrid powertrain results in smooth and quiet progress, The car is also more than happy on motorways and A roads. Practicality is great with seats which fold flat to leave a good sized load bay and the magic seats (which I thought were a gimmick) have already proved their worth.
In line with most new cars it contains a plethora of safety aids but importantly unlike many new cars it also has excellent all round visibility an often forgotten safety basic!
The car is small on the outside but seems somehow as big as the class above on the inside. This makes it great to use around town. It is amazing how having the right tool for the job can make driving fun again even in a car which is not "sporty". My previous 3 series and passat were great on the open road but ever increasing traffic levels have made them less attractive as time has passed. Simple things which don't appear in car reviews like visibility and turning circle really matter around town.
I am much younger than the average Jazz owner but coming to the conclusion that there is something to learn from the older drivers who have historically chosen them.
