Honda Jazz continues to hit bright notes

Consumer satisfaction surveys are the bane of many a car manufacturer, largely because they don’t provide much of it, but for some — most notably the Japanese — they are a source of constant pleasure, reflecting as they do so well on the products those companies make and the love owners have for their Japanese cars.

The Honda Jazz is a case in point; it might not have been the most popular supermini on the market since we saw the first iteration of it just after the turn of the century, but for those who have owned one, it is a car which has rewarded their support in huge measure. I’ve never owned one, but I can see why those who have spent their hard-earned cash on the car, love them so much.

There is nothing particularly revolutionary about the Jazz, but the manner in which it goes about its’ daily chores in such a resolute, honest and fastidious fashion is something which can only be hugely admired. That it is also economic, practical and pretty much as good a drive as anything in the class is almost a bonus.
