With wider tires, better valved coilovers, slightly more camber all around and bigger brakes, it definitely feels less of that "you shouldn't be going this fast with this car" 😊

Could do with facing the camera rather than presenting to the car itself. Maybe shorten the video as there’s a couple of things said multiple times. Not a bad effort at all though.

I got one of these at the auctions for £175, one owner from new and full Honda service history, 98k miles on clock, I kicked it to within an inch of its life for 2 years straight without having to spend a penny on it bar put fuel in it, I only sold it as new springs for the front were more than what I paid for it.... Lol, was actually a very good handling wee car for what it was.

The Jazz is the best second car you can ever have. Can leave it on the street, take it up dirt rounds and basically abuse it without a care in the world. You can then flip the seats any which way depending on what you're loading in the back. It'll never handle like a double wishbone Honda, but it'll surprise a few people as you take the toog back roads home. Not sure I'd ever k swap one though. Good review, A++

I absolutely love this, I've always said the Jazz had the potential to be a wicked little Honda. Now with this motor my dreams have come true 😏😆. Definitely love it though, looks stunning too!

[@hughjohnson2674]

One of the reSons for the inherent chassis stiffness is the floor is double skinned to hold the fuel tank under the drivers seat and built for a low floor, there are chassis stiffeners available that can increase the already stiff chassis. Mine runs a standard motor and chassis but has lowering springs and is fully probushed, it is unbeatable at motorkhana blows minis to the weeds. It handles very well for its price,

[@harveywhite3001]

Hows the handling after lowering springs??

[@hughjohnson2674]

@@harveywhite3001 the handling is vastly improved with the progressive rate lowered springs and Koni red shock absorbers. Of course good tyres, lightweight wheels and good alignment all add to the mix.

[@glenn20l]

The pickup drivers reaction would be great, Honda jazz flying by😂

[@AustinPerdue]

Problem with a lowered Fit, is that camber changes from negative to positive when you have deep suspension travel. There are some fixes for this, but overall Fits handle best at stock ride height. The same is true for RSX and EP3 - simply slamming it absolutely ruins the handling.

[@viperstrike3827]

My fit already scrapes everything, I can’t imagine lowering it!

Interesting to see an honest review on the Jazz / Fit. Too good to be true, but I would definitely still put it in the sleeper category - minus the kit.

[@snakeballs8965]

My ex had a bone stock 07 fit and it could handle corners pretty good, but that hunk of steel in the back just makes the back end really unpredictable. It needs a way to change the camber your wheels just skip all over the place.

@@snakeballs8965 Thanks for the insight, might be worth getting one myself one day as a daily or something. Just isn't a great image 😂

Probably the suspension configuration. I believe in the chassis stiffness. Spoon did open it up and take a look, I'll listen to him since he knows what he is doing. But a good chassis doesnt mean instantly a good car, maybe the suspension is the one to improve.

Hey Danny.🖐 Finally making it back for a quick comment. Yes sir, it's always a good time when you get up with the lads at HCR. I hope there's more where that came from. Solid review, Dan. I'd say with triple the power from standard, most reviewers would be over the top about how great everything is. This one seems very pure and unfiltered as we've come to expect from you. Sure, it's a quick car, coolest Jazz I've seen, and I think Pete has done a hell of a job for what it is, but I appreciate the honesty of your overall impressions of the car. The humour and great analogies you throw in along the way, well.👍😅 Good stuff, mate. I hope you get back to see Josh and Pete again soon. Have a good afternoon. Cheers, buddy.

9:50 I can’t agree more! I’m so tired of culture when sport car “reviewers” just casually drive a car, accelerate on straights with happy faces and make it seems like they understand its dynamics. It’s impossible to review a sport car without reaching over its limits

[@Dia1Up]

I own a 2nd gen Fit. I will tell you the handling is fantastic. More bump steer in the rear than I'd like, but it mostly comes down to 2 things. The very stiff chassis, and weight. It's very light, and the gas tank is located under the front seats. The let off turn in is crazy. They tend to be tail happy. Which is what you want in a FWD

[@MrAudi220]

I recently pulled my old playstation 3 and grand turismo 6 out from under the dust, and the first car i started with was a fit rs, i got it as a starter car, and honoustly i had a blast in it, gradually tuned it up to about 230hp, and it's so much fun, obviously not really comparable but still. Never thought that i would enjoy a car like this even if it was digital.😉👍✌️👉

[@christopherjohnston6343]

Can't help but think the handling and balance was probably butchered

[@andrewparker1743]

Whats it like to work on though? I have a same model FIT (what they are called in the us) its a manual and its really hard to find manual parts here because everyone who bought this car here when it was new was using it for a small grocery getter and not for a racing machine so they all got an auto. I have contemplated getting a k20 just for the fact that parts would be easier to find. But its also more difficult to work on than my eg because of the lack of space in the engine bay. I bet that problem would only be amplified with a larger engine. In my opinion a fit is a really good car for a daily driver. It still feels like a small sporty honda but nobody expects it to be hopped up or asks you to race or whatever so you can sort of blend in with the crowd.
