Since the launch of the first generation in 2001, the Honda Jazz / Fit family has spread across the world with a circulation of several million copies. The car is notable for its spacious interior, high functionality, a powerful enough and economical engine for its class. The maximum possible usable amount of internal space is completely at the disposal of passengers for the convenience of their placement - in such a small car, even in the back row is quite spacious. And all thanks to the fact that the model uses a progressive concept: a Cab Forward-style body (forward-mounted cab), a centrally located fuel tank, and Magic Seats seats. The back row is folded in whole and in parts, while it is not necessary to remove the head restraints, and the folding mechanism will surprise with its convenience, ease and the number of possible combinations.
 The standard equipment of the car includes the presence of an electric side mirrors, a steering column with vertical adjustment, folding seats, a central lock, a CD player and electric windows with a central shutdown function. In a more expensive configuration offered climate control. Changes in 2006-2007 affected the appearance - the car received new bumpers, rear optics, turn indicators were integrated in the rear-view mirrors. As already noted, one of the main advantages of the Honda Jazz is its functionality. In this regard, it compares favorably with most rivals. There are three options for transforming the cabin. In the first (Utility), the rear seats fold to the floor, and we get a two-seater with a flat cargo area 1.7 m long. Loading volume - 1321 liters. In the second variant (Long), when the back of the front passenger seat is folded, objects up to 2.4 m long can be transported. The Tall option allows you to raise the rear seat cushions. At the same time, an additional luggage volume is formed behind the backs of the front seats, which can be used through the side rear doors. The Honda Jazz minivan is equipped with a 1.4-liter engine producing 83 hp. Fuel consumption is 5.7 liters per “hundred” in combination with a manual transmission and 5.8 liters with a variator. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes respectively - 12.9 and 14.1 seconds. The maximum speed is limited by the ceiling of 170 km / h (160 with a variator), but even without these numbers during the first communication it will become clear that the light and compact Honda Jazz is a pretty frisky car, and 83 horsepower will allow it to stay confident in the traffic flow. There are also options with an engine of 1.2 liters (L12A), offered exclusively for the European market, its power is 78 hp. The difference is not too big, but can be critical when fully loaded.

 The chassis of the Honda Jazz is typical of a modern compact city car: the front suspension is independent, the rear is semi-independent. Front ventilated disc brakes, rear - drum. Double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers have a rather strict adjustment, low ground clearance can be noted, especially at maximum load, but this is due to the efforts of designers to reduce the center of gravity of the car - in general, this was done to provide an additional guarantee of stability with a sporty driving style: after all Honda

 The complex of safety systems available in the Honda Jazz basic configuration includes frontal airbags (driver and front passenger), supplemented with top-end side airbags. In addition, there are child seat fasteners and ISOFIX anchor points, as well as anti-lock brakes ABS, auxiliary brake system BAS. The Jazz / Fit family is distinguished by a level of passive safety that is quite high for its time, which is confirmed by the results of crash tests using various methods (EuroNCAP, NASVA, NHTSA).

 Excellent combinations of many characteristics, such as practicality and excellent roominess with a compact body size, dynamics and maneuverability, reliability and economy, have allowed Honda Jazz to earn the fame of a small car with great capabilities - one of the best cars indispensable for the city, for the family. In the secondary market, Jazz will appreciate affordable prices, a good level of equipment. Even a wide selection of body colors can be attributed as a plus, especially for the fair sex, who must appreciate the convenience and elegance of this car.
