I just love how Auto Express say, while acknowledging the reliability, that "It's not the most stylish supermini out there" - yet over on Honest John's website, the video review starts with HJ stating "The new Honda Jazz - pretty, isn't it?"
Now, Auto Express are perfectly entitled to their view, but I know whose opinion I'd pay attention to when talking cars. Looking at pictures of the 2008 Jazz, it's remarkable how "futuristic" it still looks to some other models in the sector - rather like the 2006 Civic did when it came out.
The "first" Jazz incarnation might be a little further down the rankings, but it's still a great result - the reliability being the chief factor when I bought mine.
It's also quite satisfying to see some of the so-called "prestige" makes languishing near the bottom of the table
