What Can Improve?
It gives a linear acceleration and sometimes doesn’t feel that sporty as compared to its other competitors in the same segment. There is alot of engine noise on the inside of the car in the diesel variant.

Cost of services & spares: Rs 2500 /month
Exteriors:
Its a good looking car from any angle and the side character lines are very reminiscent of Honda Mobilio and the large headlights looks like its elder sibling Honda City’s.
Interiors:
There is much more room on the inside as its overall length is increased. Familiar interior that’s been taken from the Honda City. There are shiny inserts on the inside and a touch screen control for the air conditioner. A LCD display is also present which can be used for satellite navigation, bluetooth connectivity and as a rear view camera. The meters are lit always and they change colours according to your driving style. There is ample amount of space for your small stuffs and water bottle. The 350 Litres boot is enough to keep your luggage for your small trips. Rear seats fall down fully flat giving us more space. The all black dash looks beautiful and more practical.
Ride Quality:
The ride quality is good. People sitting in the rear feel comfortable because of the spacious cabin
Other Comments
At just over 8 lacs ex-showroom delhi for Honda Jazz V i-Dtech, its quite a costly ride for the common people.
Spare tyre is of small rim size-14 inch and of different size tyre(175/70 R14) whereas all other tyres are of size 15 inch(175/65 R15)
The dealer explained that small size spare wheel(14’) is supplied as an emergency wheel and reason given is to visually remind you to get the damaged tyre repaired at the first opportunity.
Company should replace the spare tyre with original size tyre and rim to promote its sales.
The dealer was unable to show me in writing anywhere that for the top model of Jazz the spare tyre supplied with the car may be of different size/ specification. Honda has never mentioned about this limitation of Jazz car in any of its brochures/documents/advertisement and hidden this fact from public.
