I'm gonna be real with you, the Honda Jazz is one of the greatest cars ever made. Own it with pride!

[@NigelRudyard]

I've had three. They're bloody brilliant cars. They don't go wrong and you can chuck anything in them.

[@deangelocardwell8716]

Just bought one this morning with 151,000 miles. I’m extremely excited to drive this little machine. Truly blessed to see others are enjoying them well

[@humphrey_bulldoguk22]

I have had all kinds of cars, fast cars, pretty cars, ugly cars....but i always, ALWAYS go back to the jazz, its such a brilliant car, the "magic" back seats can pretty much make it into a escort van...the jazz has never... ever failed to start...and 40 quid to fill up and can easily get 2 working weeks out of it... before i need to fill it again! I honestly not going to get any other car from now on.....ALSO...Honda do a pet cage that will fit the jazz boot beautifully....so will pets world...for you dog owners!

[@JACKYBOY281]

I Have a 2008 jazz, 79000 miles. So reliable ,auto .Brilliant. Had it 6 yrs .

[@liammiller100]

Had an 06 plate 1.4 i-dsi and did 158k in it until I traded it in. Was a great car,took me and my family on holidays to Cornwall for several years and was so reliable. Serviced every year and it just kept going

[@thestumanshow]

Just bought a Jazz, 2008, same blue... CVT... It is awesome, the sense of freedom you get, having a car that no-one looks at, which nips about happily and reliably. Makes me feel 17 again, having my first car and feeling like the world was mine to explore. Makes you wonder why us petrol heads put ourselves through the stresses/worries of having cars that cost £**,000's

[@jmacknet2]

Happy new year! This video is an excellent example of your essence. I love that you’re not a car (or motorcycle) snob and can bring excitement to a decade old, knackered up Honda Jazz.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks James! I just try to see the value in everything. Just because something might not appeal to me doesn’t mean it isn’t right for someone. As it happens, I love me a Jazz 😂 HNY!

[@imanimannami]

Interestingly precisely at 10:16 a similar Jazz presumably doing fill-ups in the background, so it's kind of enhancing the theme 😃

[@Nitenman]

Both my sister and her boyfriend have Honda Jazz's (2008 and 2017 respectively). My sister uses hers for her dog walking business and has had custom dog crates installed in the back (with the rear seats permanently down). She can transport 4 dogs, each with their own cage and plenty of space. It's like a minivan, amazing really. I drive a MK9 Civic which I can also recommended as a cheap reliable daily that shares the same magic seat feature as the Jazz.

[@DaBinChe]

One of the best beater cars ever. Best car in its class for sure.

[@katiebeanz9960]

Just got a Honda jazz which is exactly like this one, same year and colour, only difference is that it’s got a sunroof. It’s so much nicer than I was expecting from my budget after an accident I had in my 2017 Peugeot 108 that was written off ironically from a white van smashing into the side of it last month

[@viera4]

I've got one on a 2004 and it is awesome!!! Whilst people are looking at me with disdain in any car park. The £500 per month it saves me, affords me the luxury of spending 17 weeks of this year in hot and sunny countries. Also when a lane is closed and everyone is fighting to get in to one lane. I automatically get right of way as its very apparent to anyone that a scrape on my Jazz won't be the end of the world for me 😂

[@howardsellick8307]

My sister had a jazz similar age to yours and had to get rid of it as it was costing too much in maintenance, (my sister's a bit rough with it), it had bumps and scrapes all over it. She loved it so much she wanted another one! She went and bought a new hybrid as a single woman wanted a car that didn't need work on it all the time. She really loves this car! In Zimbabwe, jazzes,(fits out here), are used as illegal taxis and regularly carry 10 to 12 people! They are amazing cars

[@ibextone2186]

But wow😮

[@pigeonpoo1823]

All the best and may your channels continue to go from strength to strength. And I'd thoroughly like to see ordinary cars tested by you. And if all else fails, just remember that everyone loves a K swapped Jazz! Happy Christmas

[@alechopkins6545]

And yes some suspension work amd a type r engine could make the jazz very entertaining

[@vigneshraja8941]

We love boring cars, Tim. Keep em coming!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 🎉

[@t2p]

I have an Alpina B3 and a C32 amg … but my 2005 Jazz with dents on every panel is the best car i own … so practical, frugal and like a swiss army knife it can do it all…only ever needs tyres and brakes … towed many a dead comrade off road, helped me move house, helped me clear out my business and genuinely is a laugh to drive.

[@Hell-Hound1]

Thanks Tim and a very merry Christmas to you and your family. Onwards and upwards for 2023

[@presterjohn71]

I've had my 2011 Jazz for two years. Brilliant car. Possibly the most useful car I have ever owned. It is a magnet for scrapes though. I have had 7 hits in two years (The first and worst was on my third day of ownership when a van ran into the back of me. It attracts scratches like nobody's business though.

[@jbar100]

Bought a 07 Fit for cheap in July 2021 finally fixed nearly all the problems in August 2022. It was fun sorting that many problems thou.

[@albertlira7443]

There's something i love about the every man car reviews man. You've got me wanting a Skoda and i can't even get them on my continent! Looking forward to the cars and bikes and Motorpoint vids. Merry Christmas my friend.

[@Backpfeifengesicht45]

In my opinion, it's up there with the Mk2 Ford Focus in the fight for the best mass produced car of the century so far. They're both practical, reliable, spacious and a giggle to drive.

[@we-can-do]

If this is an example of your car analysis abilities, I think your channel has a great future. HAPPY XMAS 🥳

[@robgordon9396]

Loved the video, a great years content too, keep it coming…Merry Christmas all and have a great 2023!

[@Lightning982]

The Jazz is one heck of a car. You can just throw it into corners and it’s an absolute joy. (With decent tyres of course)

[@keithhooper6123]

I had four Honda Acty (3 vans,and a truck),all bought used,over more then twenty years,and they were incredibly reliable,and cheap to run.Still have them all.

[@1969cmp]

Looking at getting one of these for one of my almost grown up 'kids', here in the middle of Oz.

[@JavierBonillaC]

It's a giant of endurance and reliability. Even if you have the money for a new car, it feels so good to know your miney is in the bank!

[@Birmingham_racing]

I'm only 35 but I've always been a fan of these. As for a k20 swap that's something I would love to see

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

The first generation Honda Jazz is the most good looking for me. Really cute, compact and still utilitarian

[@JackNichols3]

I too was gifted an old Jazz a few years ago from an in-law. Honestly turned out to be one of the best cars I’ve ever had. Never put a foot wrong, only got rid as we needed the money out of it!

[@alechopkins6545]

Keep the mix of sensible and entertaining cars 👍🏻

[@venc3907]

I am in the same boat. I am selling my bmw x3 and getting my 2009 jazz running again after 3 years in the garage. Greetings from Australia mate.

[@bertbile]

I love them, had a 2008 for five years but sadly had to part with her as needed too much work done, so I got myself another one, a year younger, low mileage and has a panoramic roof, they’re reliable as eff man 🤓

[@lorla85]

I got a 2009 Honda Fit, and it’s almost identical, it’s light blue though. it does have more cup holders and is an automatic. In January I really needed a car & I love Hondas & Toyotas and found my Honda Fit. I drove it quite a bit in 4 months, it’s just ready to hit 185k miles… it’s amazing what I can squeeze into it! It’s really a fun little car!

[@joao.andre.carvalho]

"It's a grandma car!" Who cares? I have two Jazz's, a '02 and a '09. They are amazing cars for their size and price!

[@dalesmith4985]

Good cars and very reliable unlike my 2012 ford focus that cost me $10,000 Australian dollars to purchase 2 years ago has gone through a steering rack,camshaft position sensor,heater core failed needing the entire dash pulled out to replace. I'm looking to trade it in on a Honda or Toyota

[@Andyroo1984]

I have a MK3 with wide tyres and it drives like it's on rails. The brakes fade on standard discs after a while when in god mode but vented discs are available

[@tenzinyeshe7060]

should i get a 2009 model that has 260000miles on it? for 4k cad?

[@davidevans4089]

You lucky lad, wish someone would give me a Jazz. I have had two of these best cars I have ever had in fourty four years of driving, never lets you down which is more than can be said for much more expensive brands which turn out to be money pits while you try to impress strangers.

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

I drive a 2009 Fit. 154K miles. Great car. Big inside, small outside. Honda did a good one with this car.

[@69jomen]

At my age and owning most brands through out the years I bought a used 2007 Jazz 1.2 last year with 45,000 miles on the clock. Good condition interior but many scratches on exterior. Man oh man what a great little car and so sorry I never bought one before

[@ridehead8771]

Just one of these, an 06 of same model as yours for £950 with 70k miles and 2 owners with full MOT. I agree with the gearbox, its super solid, in fact its the most tight gearbox in any car ive onwed in the past. Very happy over all yey! 😁

[@Leehuss5582]

A very VERY good dependable, reliable not worries at all everyday motoring. The MPG puts a lot of modern cars to shame, my mum was able regularly to achieve from a £10 top up to over 100miles from that. MOT'S were no problem as long as the consumables were addressed...Happy motoring with a Jazzy

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Looking forwards to the 'boring' stuff. Have a great xmas /new year Mr Rodie.

[@1948painter]

Still driving my 2007 Honda Fit. Best car I ever owned. No mechanical problems until this year when the air conditioner conked out--at least $1,500 to fix it. It was a hot summer, but, as I waited and waited for 2024 Chevy Trax that I ordered to ship, the more I began to feel like I'd miss my Fit if I switched, so I wound up cancelling the order. Clearly, I'll need to give up on my Fit before too long, but not just yet.

[@robsaquatics8788]

Ive got a jazz and will most definitely get another one when mine goes bang 😂😅

[@Phantom_Shadow79]

Great car I have honda jazz 1.3 dsi 2003 model 😉 it's a tank never let me down always reliable best car I've ever known only done 85,000 miles 💪

Looks like a Jazz mk1. The last year for that model was 2007.

Nice. I landed here from a review of the current (2023/2024) Jazz. Lovely car but darn if these small eco cars haven't gotten expensive... it's about 30k eur 😢

[@vanburn777]

Love the "BORING CAR' review idea!!!!

[@jamstarent21]

I own a 2009 GE8 fit sport. Bought it in 2016 with 56k miles. Has 120k miles as a write this. Great reliable car. You have the GD 2008 Fit

[@poepybrown2151]

The best of all, it doesn't fit a washing machine, it fits two!

[@benj5386]

My elderly mother has a jazz and loves it. It's definatley functional. A head purchase rather than a heart purchase. The only thing I really dislike is the steering which is appalling. There's no castor so you're constantly having to steer in a straight line.

[@DontPanicDear]

My Mum had one and the steering was great! I drove it years later, and it was as you describe. While driving erratically, she does crash down pot holes and curb the wheels a lot, so I put it down to that.

[@maartenyzer4121]

get it measured ,is not normal..

[@DontPanicDear]

Exciting seasonal Jazz ❤ Cheers for all the amusing and informative content Tim 👍🏻 My Mum had one. Nice 8valve engine in those. Decent steering and typical Honda gear change 😀

[@naodasmerom4900]

I would like to buy a honda jazz but i don't know which model & year is best ?

[@mattwright7780]

Hi Tim. I hope you find this comment on an old video. My 2004 jazz is finally going to the big scrapyard on the sky. Lots of welding required. Ive absolutely hammered the poor thing, dragging tons of match fishing gear all around the country. It really is like a little van with the seats down. Anyway, I trust your opinions on things, so wondered if youd give me a shortlist of used cars that I should look at with a budget of just 5k. Reliability is a key concern, as disposable cash is at a premium, but mainly I need it to be a van in a cars clothing. Going to look at a 2013 c3 picasso tomorrow, plenty of space in that. What would you be looking at and what would you avoid?! Thanks mate keep up the awesome content

[@rogerbryan3023]

We import them fresh from Japan We can’t get enough of them because people know what they are 😎☀️

[@markscars1069]

Good stuff dude 😂

[@davidcole5803]

We have two Jazzes, an 06 and a 13 reg. Brilliant cars. The problem with the jazz is the brakes, I mean the rear disk brake/handbrake. They are supposed to be self adjusting as a handbrake, but they really are crap and are poor and that's why a good number of them, if not put into first gear when parking won't hold and just roll backwards and crease up the boot lid/bumper. But, don't let that put you off the jazz, simple solution is to make sure you put it in first gear whenever you leave the car so it w'ont move. Some jazz owners are even putting drum brakes on the back which are better for the hand brake and generally self adjust better than the disc brake type.

[@AndreiBugariu-q7l]

How is the fuel consumption on this car? How many mpg are you getting? Thanks

[@maartenyzer4121]

its got 83 hp and the cvt is great ,puts the engine noise and rpm down on motorways..

[@tygwrwasley8662]

Had ours in the family for 10years and over 130,000 miles later it’s still going strong with everything working. Can’t get anything more reliable for the money really, the cvt is quite boring but takes the miles with ease, hoping to get it to 150k before the end of next year.

[@MrBlaugeist]

I have a 12 plate , 1.4 it’s awesome it’s my daily , my other car is a Fiat panda 4x4 ……..the Honda is bomb proof , change oil regularly that’s it ……….best car ever built .

[@johntrolle8935]

Same reasons but in a 2005 Honda Jazz - 18 years of hassle free everyday driving with probably as many more to come

[@rotoehu9266]

You must be doing well these days Tim, you can afford to heat your house in England! Love me an old Jazz, no other car uses available space as cleverly.

[@1066wastrel]

I`ve had mine for 7 years, I`ve lusted after a Jag all my life but, the wee Jazz just won`t stop, so I`m thinking, why blow a ton of money on a Jag when the Jazz starts stops & steers! What`s a Jag gonna do that the Jazz doesn`t (look really cool on my driveway) but no, and in 7 years, it`s cost me (get ready for this) £320 in maintenance. both times on brakes. yeah it`s not the most glamorous looking car, but by god is it reliable!

[@ka5269]

Do you still drive it?

[@davidcole5803]

Car Insurance, road tax and the cost of garage repairs has gone through the roof in the last 12 months. and for those who need a car for absolutely essential use it's going to get much more difficult to stay on the road. When the dreaded MOT comes due and you have to pay for silly failure faults, brake adjustments, wiper blades, bulbs, etc and you are going to have to look at the size of car you really need rather than the glossy flash status symbol which will soak up your family holiday fund.

[@dogblessamerica]

This is probably the car most people need, but instead they got a Qashqai or a Juke or a Mokka or whatever
