Being a long time owner of a Mk1 and a Mk2 Jazz I was looking forward to purchasing a Mk4. However I left the showroom disappointed, the floor area of the boot has become too small for my needs, a lager floor area is more useful to me than a tall boot. Secondly, as has been mentioned many times, the passenger seat needs height adjustment. My wife said she felt she was sitting on the floor.
Also reading on this forum that some owners have a start-up procedure of switching off driver aids because they are too intrusive makes me glad I bought a Toyota. I just get in and drive. It has the same safety features and driver aids as the Jazz and they work as you would expect. Even though my Corolla has a low stance, with the seats pumped up my wife and I are happy with the view out.
The Jazz is a good car and the hybrid system is one of the best and if the above concerns are addressed I could be back in a Jazz.
P.S. I have just had a look at the hr-v on Honda's web site and for me the prices look high.
