I still say that the Mk2 was better than the Mk3 though. That boot floor panel was really well thought out and effective. Better than the floppy cardboard and polystyrene space waster we have now. Well..I used to have. I've thrown it away now and use the uncarpetted wheel well for storing some golf stuff. With some MDF to take the weight of the rest of my golf equipment.
Way to go, Honda :(

You do wonder why so many other car makers continue to get it so wrong. All rear seats should fold completely flat as they do in the Jazz. The other thing is how many small cars are suitable for tall people in both the front and the back - not that many.That flat floor when the seats are down was one of the main reasons we chose the Jazz! We have 2 small dogs and there's a dog crate in the car. With the bigger rear seat down it fits to the back of the driver seat (left in NL), and there's still a rear seat for a passenger and most of the boot free for the weekly shoppings and other things.

Your car always looks immaculate Jazzway.

Thanks! But it was an old photo.
Okay, a month ago i did the winterprep and the Jazz is the shiniest of the street again, hahaha. This month it goes for service to the garage and then she's really ready for the winter. @Andy83 Are you THE Andy83 from Honda Karma? Because you're only 3 days on Clubjazz and i don't post so many photos here.

But you realise, if you are a Jazz owner, what you'd be missing out on. We've talked about the flexible and convenient load carrying aspect but there are no other small cars with such a huge cabin. The legroom in the back is fantastic even with the front seats pushed all the way back (and even as 6 footer I don't need to do that).
There is a Toyota dealer opposite me and I had a look round a Yaris hybrid last week. Not bad but the boot was tiny, the rear leg room wasn't that great and the front seats weren't as supportive as those on the Jazz. My mate has a 66 plate Fiesta with the 1.0 litre eco boost engine. Bit more get up and go than the Jazz and definitely more composed on bendy roads but tiny boot, seats don't fold flat and the leg room in the back isn't great.
If they add a hybrid to the current range, then, along with the 1.3 engine and the new 1.5, they will have a formidable lineup.

The predicted sales are probably too low to make importing it worthwhile.

I didn't need the seat all the way back in the Mk 3 I had a loan of, and I am over 6 ft.One disadvantage of the Mk2 was the silly 'sky light'. I never used it because it caused dashboard glare and the 'open' roof annoyed me but it also took away a chunk of headroom for rear passengers. That's something I'm glad they dropped.

I am 6' tall and need the drivers seat right back, it all depends on where the majority of the 6' is, I have long legs.

Yes. That makes a difference. I am neither one thing or the other.
I am taller than many 6 footers when sitting, but I need a low seat on my motorbike. My head gets close to roof in cars.
