we had two jazz in the family at one time before I went back to a Civic because I do quite a high mileage and it's more comfortable (and more OOOMPH) - the only thing I notice now about the Jazz steering now with my wifes car is that there are too many turns lock-to-lock, the turning circle on the jazz still amazes me though, and I often wish the Civic had the same when I'm parking. The Civic seems to have only one turn of the steering wheel for lock-to-lock but the Jazz seems to have about three - i will check it out properly though. Never had the stiff steering on either jazz though.
