What's new
2003 Honda Jazz 1.4 ES with CVT
By having the biggest interior
space of B segment, Honda Jazz is a real family car. It's offering a trunk and real 5
people seating which is more spacious than VW Golf.
CVT transmission has continuosly shifting the gear and providing a very smooth
acceleration like a subway train.
2003 model Jazz has better suspension than previous year models for improving riding
quality but 185/55 sport tires on SE model are making those changes ineffective.
Engine is very silent under 3000 rpm. But with CVT you can make 140 km/h on 3000 rpm. This
is where the low consumption of the car comes from.
