| Premium hatches are somewhat new to our country, and slowly but surely buyers are ditching their big-car complexes for these spacious, modern and practical cars. Apart from Chevrolet SRV which can be called the first premium hatch in India, the Skoda Fabia set the scene with its launch. Then came the Hyundai i20 to warm the segment up and banking on the heat was our pick of the segment, the Honda Jazz. Honda Jazz The price of the car seemed outrageous when it was launched - and our unrelenting readers complained by bucketfuls. A couple of hours spent with the car though, and you start feeling good about the big bucks that Honda is demanding for the Jazz. First off is the typical Honda build quality combined with the general sense of reliability that oozes out of every element in the car. Then there's the huge space on the inside that makes this car more of a mini-MPV than a hatchback. Usability and practicality on the inside abounds too - with that the flexible seating arrangement that liberates even more space inside the cavernous cabin - if required! While the Jazz may look a little queer in photographs, it really is a good looking car too. And snug under the swooping bonnet is a techno-savvy 90PS 1.2 litre i-VTEC engine that puts out 110Nm of torque. What else could you want! Test Drive - Honda Jazz >> |
