5/5/2023 0 Comments The flick play![]() ![]() I am doing 700kms more tomorrow from Dalhousie to Delhi. ![]() I'm having same problem in the City that I have used for last one week and 1000kms. You can bring the wheel closer to you for taller drivers or move it further away for shorter. Now look at the extra features on the i20 which in my view serve very important purpose.ġ. It's a feature which gives useful information but not something you can't be without. Yes the blue/green light ring, DTE and real time FE are good to have but clearly noone missed them on the Grand i10, Elite i20, Verna and Elantra. I hated that vs twisting the knob in Ecosport for ACC settings. Secondly, because it is a touch screen it requires you to take your eyes of the road and touch the required button. First of all you don't keep changing the AC settings often. Unfortunately those shortcomings which many earlier said are not a big deal, actually are.įor example the touch screen climate control which looks cool, is actually a gimmick. The point was about members not talking about the pros of the car but making mountain out of a mole hill for every small shortcoming of the Jazz ![]() The i20 does nudge ahead as a package, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the Jazz is a well rounded and practical car. I've not noticed any other car receiving so much flak for not being best in class. The Jazz may not be as complete a package as the i20. I'm that case, forget i20 and Jazz, but a Polo or a Swift.Ĥ. According to me, these are brilliant cars for their segments and outclass everything else in the segment, unless you want a car that's fun to drive. A buyer's priorities will decide which out of the two he buys. The Jazz has more space, better FE and dynamics. The i20 has better interior quality, more features. ![]() Cars like the Swift and Punto don't come close.ģ. Other than the i20 and Polo, I can't think of a car whose interiors are better. So I find no reason why its interiors are unacceptable. The Jazz has even more consistent quality than the City (as was the case with the last gen of both cars). Vento/Rapid > Verna > City/Ciaz > Fiesta > Linea/SunnyĢ. I've experienced most of the cars in its segment and according to me, the interiors of the cars are in the following order. The new City is better and fares pretty well in that respect IMO. I own a 2009 City and have no qualms in accepting that it's interior quality could be better. This i20 vs Jazz discussion has been on for way too long. Petrol MT: Jazz would definitely be a serious contender. Personally, if I was in the market for a car in this segment, But need to see how much the negative perception that is getting created will impact the sales. I think it is good enough to slot into 2nd place behind the i20 in the segment (Not considering the swift). And those things are what is getting dissected to the lowest level and creating the negative impression. They were almost there, but messed up a few things with relation to feature spread across variants and the price of the diesel. So basically with the Jazz, Honda needed a perfect product that would overcome both the challenges above. So customers would be less inclined to overlook negative aspects as they would for the City. Unlike the positive perception of the City, the Jazz perception is on the other extreme due to the pricing fiasco in the first iteration. It is pitched against the i20, which (unfortunately for Honda) is perceived as one of those near perfect cars.Ģ. Two major challenges Honda had to overcome with the Jazz:ġ. Sales figures will be good initially for sure but it did not shock anyone like the Ecosport did initially. The space isn't everything, it's the overall package and based on what's on offer in the Jazz and the price for it, right now it's not looking that promising. If it was only about packaging and interior cabin space the Indian buyer cared about, the Amaze should have sold better than the Dzire, the Swift should have been a flop, the Etios and Liva should have been a super hit, and the Ecosport should have flopped as well with cabin space equal to that of a hatch. Yes the packaging of the Jazz is indeed a big USP but that alone is not enough. People seem to be neglecting that saying it has ONLY space but making huge issue out of small things like a plastic cap. It's not something which you can do aftermarket. basically it gives you a much bugger car within compact dimensions. The fantastic packaging leading to much more interior space and boot space itself is a huge USP. The Jazz has tougher competition, agreed but it has a few things in its favor as well. I agree it's all about compromise as there is no perfect car. ![]()
