Does anyone have experience of this model?
Real time consumption and 0-62 would be much appreciated, with any other comments, good or bad.
Many thanks.

Yes, I had one. Very good car, much more power than the 1.3. If I remember correctly, 0-62 was about 9.6 seconds. Real consumption in between 4.5 and 6 l/100km depending on how you drive it. I averaged 4.7  :D

I had one of these between Feb 2018 and March 2020. Overall consumption was 41mpg over this period. The quoted 0-62 of around ten seconds seemed about right. The main advantage over my previous 1.3 EX was  noticeably better power delivery as the 1.5 did not have the valve timing change at c4000 rpm. Overall I enjoyed my time with the Sport and eventually changed it for a HR-V Sport.

That sounds interesting. In my 1.5 manual the changes in valve timing are clearly there when accelerating up to the redline at full throttle.

From the Internet you can find several test drive articles of 1.5 CVT Jazz, including opinions of acceleration and fuel economy. I think I red at least dozen of those back when buying my car.

Check out website Fuelly.com
You can browse without registering,  I had a quick look and if you select Honda Jazz and then a year, the listed contributors usually show whether it's a 1.3 or 1.5
Note, remember to select UK mpg if appropriate,  the default is US mpg.

I currently run a 2019 CVT Sport.

Fuel consumption over the last 30 months has averaged 40-42 mpg but I drive it pretty hard.
Quite quick but not much torque at low revs but still quite enjoyable and much livelier than the 1.3.
Fairly noisy on hard acceleration which is quite normal on CVT cars but not too bad on the motorway with tyre noise being more noticeable than any engine noise.
Ride is reasonable but short wheelbase can make it a bit jiggly over bumpy roads but much better in my opinion than small Kia and Hyundai cars I have recently travelled in.
Handling and roadholding are OK but dramatically improved with the addition of 25mm rear wheel spacers, 25mm lower Swift springs and a rear anti roll bar and surprisingly a much better ride.
Known problems are temperamental tyre pressure monitoring system and faulty AC condensers otherwise pretty bulletproof.
Poor and outdated infotainment system quite easily remedied by changing to a modern CarPlay/ Android Auto unit.
