2008' Honda Jazz

Version with the 1.4 i-DSI engine, very economical if driven at the right speed but also very available for a quicker start in town. The manual gearbox is quite round, to the point of allowing errors such as making some roundabouts in 5a without major complaints. Speaking of gearbox, of all the cars I've driven this is among the ones with the most pleasant gearbox (smooth to gear, and with a great mechanical feel).

I've always tried to estimate the car, but I don't have a garage, and that's why the sun damage is visible in the photos. Minor damage caused in supermarket parking lots and the like is also visible. Unfortunately, as it has no side moldings, any door opened too forcefully causes an immediate dent. On the passenger door, there are two especially visible marks.

In terms of maintenance, I've always done at least one service a year regardless of the kilometers. As long as Tomotor existed, he was assisted there, and then he was assisted at Servonda. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at keeping paperwork, so evidence of this maintenance is lacking.

The car is extremely versatile, with the possibility of completely folding the rear seats, becoming in this case a real commercial with a completely flat rear.

It also has a fully automatic climate control system, where you just need to say the desired temperature and the system chooses all other parameters in order to maintain comfort in the passenger compartment. I can say from experience that it is superior to many systems present in cars of much higher ranges.

The tires are both in very little use, the front ones having just been fitted in the spring. The ones in the back have more time but also last a lot longer. It is equipped with the larger 185/55/R15 tires (registered) instead of the 175/65/R14, which greatly increases grip in those moments when we enter a corner a little faster than planned!

The only modification I ordered made to this car was the placement of parking sensors, something that over the years has proven time after time a decision that saved the rear bumper!

I had planned to keep this car for another year, so I have kept it as if to keep it in my possession, I only changed it because my driving profile has changed very suddenly to highway, the place where this car is least comfortable (in however a trip from Aveiro-Almodôvar at 130 is good)

I recommend those interested to come for a test drive, as the best way to get to know a car is actually driving it.

The two things that this car definitely lacks are: Bluetooth and GPS, and I offer a mio GPS to anyone who buys it (bluetooth never found a system I liked!)
