What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the Jazz is one of the most practical small cars, with generous passenger space, flexible Magic Seats, good visibility and excellent fuel economy. The common criticisms are a high price for the class and a drive that is secure but dull; Parkers found too much cheap plastic inside and the engine loud when accelerating, and Auto Express disliked the infotainment.
