Honda Jazz (Fit) test drive since 2008 hatchback

We lose weight together

Cars behave like real catwalk models. Someone dumps the weight in all possible ways to win in speed, someone pumps the file part to give solidity. Some make a catchy make-up, others try on a new dynamic Style. Honda Jazz became prettier due to the fact that the diet of advanced fitness preferred.
The fact that the new version of Jazz will sooner or later grow the fragment of the B-segment, was also clear from the old model. The new salon became spacious, almost like Civic, and a panoramic window stretched over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe roof of the car. Passengers, looking at the sky, can even forget that they are sitting in the car. If desired, you can get out of the corps in a wide hatch at half -corps and scream a little in the wind. This heavenly bonus, even for our short summer, should compensate for the inconvenience of a rather low body kit, which the car strives to touch on the curb.
The slightly grown dimensions hint that the Jazz youngster was rounded to adult forms. This is a common trend for the company's cars - the car is growing with the client - both physically and financially. As a rule, in the direction of the nearest older model. The interior in this progressive movement does not lag behind: the catchy steering wheel from Civic and devices, sophisticated in silver wells, is sport, where without it. Rather, a hint of sports is still not a racing car. But the small weight allows you to quickly leave the traffic light, and the sequential gearbox with the possibility of manual switching with steering wheel petals makes it possible to briskly accelerate. By the way, in each cylinder of the new engine there are two candles, the new ignition system makes a machine with a 1.4 liter engine of one of the most economical in class - 5.3 liters per 100 km. So the nominal growth of dimensions turns into a decrease in appetite and tightness, which in general corresponds to the native name of the model - FIT.
Family values \u200b\u200bwere also paid tribute. Due to the placement of the fuel tank under the floor in the front of the car, the engineers managed to cut an additional space for passengers, with which the B-class traditionally tightly. The seats in the jazz salon are folded and laid out literally on any corners, and for this it is not even necessary to remove the headrests. And the cosmetic bag on the front panel of the car easily accommodates not just a glove compartment, but a decent female mess, fell out of a large bag for trips. Of course, Jazz does not claim the capacity of the Nissan Note family suitcase, but the average number of children and dogs will fit here per family.
In Europe, where sales began a long time ago, the car immediately found fans thanks to economical and small dimensions. Until recently, these parameters took into account a rather small part of the Russians. The same Jazz of the previous generation on the street was almost not found. But the trends, as the TV tells us, change in a dramatic way.
