Hi Friends,
I own a Chevrolet Aveo U-va one point two since two thousand eight and Very recently i made up my mind to buy a new Petrol Hatchback and started searching on the Internet for a car which has Space,Features,Fuel Economy & Decent Power. Amognst all Hatchbacks available in the Indian Market finally i zeroed in on three of them i.e Hyundai I20 one point two Sportz,Volkswagen Polo HL and the Honda Jazz XMT, My Budget was seven Lacs all Inclusive, Test Drove the Polo petrol First and Found that Engine is sounding Horrible,It was like i am Driving a Truck instead of a car though one cant question the Durability factor of German Cars,Declined it, Second in Line was the Hyundai i20, Blown away with the Features of the car and got quite impressed but when i sat inside the car i felt really cramped being six feet tall so there was no urge to further Test Drive it hence rejected,Third came the Honda Jazz XMT and it was Love at First Sight, Fell in Love with the Space,Looks,Interiors,Fully Loaded Front Console,Amber Lighting,four Cylinder one point two I-Vtec Engine with Ninety HP so decided to book the same without even taking a Test Drive but not before i enquired about the Discounts on the car in each Dealership in Delhi (Like a Typical India Buyer would do) but much to my disappointment all of them said car is on waiting so do not expect any discounts or Accessories, at best we can arrange the car at the earliest,Still Didn't lose hope kept trying and guess what finally it clicked at a Honda Dealership outside Delhi and Belive me the Deal i got on Jazz sent shock waves to all other Dealers, Without any further Delay i booked the car with a Demand of UT Color which was not available with the Dealer (As claimed) and Red was readily available but i insisted on UT so was informed that Honda is producing this color in limited nos so i will have to wait for atleast one month, Kept waiting and one month turned into two months as Dealer as well as Honda People kept promising but Nothing happended for two months, they kept pushing me for Red as the stock was ageing and Dealer was paying interest on the car,Dont know whether the Dealer had UT Color in Stocks or what was the reason they seemed to push red color only,so finally i decided to take Red as it was getting unbearable.
Now About the car:-
As i came out of the showroom i felt that steering was so smooth & it was like WOW, Drove it for 60 odd KM's & found that Engine was so silent and hardly making any noise, as i pressed the throttle upto 60kmph drive was so fun and smooth as Silk, My Jazz is currently giving Mileage of 14.7 with AC in Bumper to Bumper Traffic, Havent yet tested on Highways, Jazz has stiff suspension and rear passengers actually feel it when car goes into a Pothole,Also Ground Clearance of Jazz is bit low so one has to Drive very slowly and carefully on Speed Breakers to avoid it from getting scrapped, Barring above two issues Overall Its a VFM Car and i simply Love it!![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
Few Remarks on Honda:-
After the Price cut on Jazz, Sales seems to have picked up but one doesn't quite understand how Honda is Treating this Product of Global repute, No Advertisements, No Offers, If they really promote this car in a proper manner it could give Honda some more Breathing space in a highly supressed Auto market.Their Only Focus is Brio and City at the moment.![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
Will Post Pics of my car very soon.
Thanks.
