What bothers you about the Jazz Mk4?

[Nicksey]

I have the Honda approved roof rack. I use it to transport either a kayak, or a pair of bikes (mounted on Thule carriers attached to the bars). While I agree that the tin wear on the Jazz seems especially flimsy after my Renaults (confirmed by a friend who works as a Dent Doctor, Hondas notoriously thin on bodywork), the roof and sills seem to cope well with the roof bar set up under load.

Oh, I guess it will be reinforced somehow. And won't that somehow twist the roof sheet metal?

No. I have used the bars about 30 times in the last 3 years, and no depressions or marks where the bar feet sit. They are the same system used by Renault, and clip under the door frame and sit on the roof sill. They don't come into contact with the roof body panel.

I agree on the lack of seat height adjuster on the passenger seat. I find the passenger seat incredibly uncomfortable, my husband and I both test drove the car, but the salesperson sat in the passenger seat the whole time. Grr. It lacks the adjustments required for comfort.

Also to change the drivers seat from minimum to maximum height takes 30 pumps of the lever!  THIRTY! There is a 10 inch height difference between me and my husband.

To be honest it took a year before I even began to like the Jazz, with the discomfort and the lane assist feature. With a new seat cushion for when I’m not driving and familiarity it’s grown on me since then luckily, and I haven’t seen any other car that I’d like to change to currently.

Smaller wheelbase - crosswind is sometimes really felt. Maybe the thin sheets also play a role?

[Downsizer]

I think the Mk4 wheelbase (252 cm) is only 1 cm shorter than the Mk3. I doubt that makes any significant difference in crosswinds.

When driving at night the instrument cluster reflection on the drivers door window and the very unpredictable Auto headlights, in the daytime on when not needed, off when needed

I generally thought that the Jazz had a smaller wheelbase. So I feel a lot of crosswind with the Jazz. It's enough to have a truck drive by.

I've had Hondas for many years and this is the first CVT I've driven.
There's a lot to like for sure and the thread here "What do you like about your Mk4 Jazz" is full of glowing reviews all of which I agree with but it is not without a few niggles...
The interior space has long been a big selling point on all Jazz variants and this one is no exception but because of the battery I can see a distict reduction in regular boot space.
Also, for the same reason there is no option for a spare wheel. This came close to being a showstopper for me but I decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway. But I have to say I am NOT looking forward to having to fix a puncture using the Crazy Foam included.You know it is going to happen at 2am in the p*****g rain miles from home. Changing the wheel would be hassle enough but having to figure out this new system is not something I look forward to.

Well, apart from a de-laminating windscreen, two side mirror motor replacements and the impending brake simulator...

The paintwork is well below the quality I have had on previous cars (the last three of which used eco friendly paint). It scratches easily, bird/insect dropping leave blemishes and the black roof has tiny spot blemishes in the lacquer.

The light grey interior is great and makes for a very airy and open feel in the cabin.. but the light grey accent on the bottom of the steering wheel is a mistake. It gets grubby easily, and needs wiping regularly with a wet wipe to keep it looking clean.

The spare wheel doesn't bother me, my last four or five cars never had one. However, I did buy a can of Holts tyre foam, as this can be removed if used, and means a puncture can be repaired.. whereas the OEM stuff buggers up this possibility.

I would have liked a light in the glovebox, and an auto dimming mirror.

That's a great tip about the Holts Tyre Foam. Looks to be easier to use than Honda's stuff as well as not trashing and otherwise good tyre in the process. (Which Genius came up with Honda's offering I wonder..maybe someone in the tyre industry perhaps?)
I will certainly invest in some of that!

I think it has more to do with the tyre replacement company than the type of foam. My local company is quite happy to rinse the foam out under a running tap and don't charge any extra over their standard puncture repair cost. The bigger firms will tell you it's not possible as they see a new tyre as a cash cow rather than an opportunity to give great customer service.

Auto wipers

Agreed, along with almost every auto function. I'm the driver, let me drive the car not fight the computicals

[JB]

I am sure I turned my auto-wipers off in settings unless it was another
car I once owned.

Why would you turn the auto-wipers off? You paid for this feature!

[Hicardo]

I dont think anything bothers me about the Jazz Mk 4.

I find the auto lights temporarily cancel and then reinstate a bit clunky maybe ompared to my wife's Toyota, which reinstates the auto high beam automatically after being manually cancelled, but only if the road is clear ahead. 

Pretty much like everything about the car, thats why i just bought another one! 

Until i find something wrong that is
