The Honda Jazz stretches the proportions of a traditional supermini, making it hugely versatile
Its upright shape not only makes headroom very generous, the boot is one of the largest in its class too
The Jazz is fitted with a 1.3-litre petrol engine producing 101bhp, with either a manual or CVT automatic gearbox
The manual is better if you enjoy driving, but the CVT boosts economy from 56.5mpg to 61.4mpg
Performance feels blunted by the CVT automatic, despite getting from 0-62mph in the same 11.2 seconds
The Jazz is able to tackle potholes quite well and feels at home on the motorway as well as in town
Light controls major on ease of driving and the Jazz feels nippy around cities and towns
Large windows and a slightly raised seating position aid visibility around the Jazz
Every version of the Jazz costs £140 a year in road tax
The Honda Jazz should be affordable to insure, thanks to a reasonable group 13 rating
Euro NCAP awarded the Honda Jazz five stars in crash testing, with a 93% score for adult occupant protection
The Honda Jazz has fairly soft suspension and light steering, so there is some body lean in corners
Honda came 20th out of 32 manufacturers in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey
The Honda Jazz features a City Brake system, which can apply the brakes if an imminent collision is detected
