Honda Jazz hatchback 2014 pictures

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
