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!
Simple see CB72 and Mr Onion posts above.
I forgot what I came to forget.

You mean this?

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

I don't read any argument why they don't use the auto wipers.
This >:( could mean anything, like CB72 does not like rain or something.

If the (auto) wipers don't do exactly what you want them to, you can simply correct them with a single tap of the lever, which I really don't see as a problem and for sure not as "fighting the computicals".
If nothing goes right, go left!

I also paid for USB sockets in the back of the car. I don't use those either, is it compulsory?  :P

I cant see any objection to auto wipers. Cars have had variable speed and intermittent wipe for years using old technology.  I find rain seldom stays the same intensity for long over a distance.    The autowipers can do clever tricks.  If you dont like the results  you can either adjust its settings or simply revert to using the stalk to manually change wiper speed, or switching the wipers off  and doing the occasional single wipe.  Just like in the 'good old days'.

No ,but extra  accessories, computerised driver 'aids' etc  do add to the value of the car when you sell it. Whether you used them or not. :)

Auto-Wipers, the interval is either too short and more often too long and sometimes not at all, its simplier just too flick the lever when its required, I know there is an adjuster but not easy to set when driving

I think the Mk4 wheelbase (252 cm) is only 1 cm shorter than the Mk3. I doubt that makes any significant difference in crosswinds.
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.
IMO a more likely reason is the Jazz's more boxy shape  is not as aerodynamic as some cars.  The Jazz slams into wind resistance where others are better able to slice through it cleanly.   On the plus side it means the Jazz is roomy for its class, which can save the need for a larger car with higher costs.

I confirm. No matter how I adjust the wheel, it's always not good.
I've added it to the bug list.

My bugbear is Honda describing in its 2021 the trim as “leather” only to discover that it’s actually delaminating and splitting plastic that’s not for purpose.

Shame on you Honda for dishonestly lying and misleading your customers with no respectful and honourable recourse for getting the offending parts replaced as has happened in other territories.
From the advert "Who knows where you’ll go?"

Condensation on the windshield.
This morning was brutal. About -7C and I've never seen such heavy condensation. The moisture trap-pillow didn't help at all.

Yep, one of my biggest bugbears. Never had a car which has such bad condensation on the inside of the windscreen.
What makes it worse is that there is no quick way to warm the engine up whilst waiting for the screen to clear as you can't raise engine revs via the throttle when stationary.
I don't know why the Jazz is so bad, maybe it does not auto close the ventilation vents when locking the car.

I also second the variable wiper speed, it seems difficult to get the ideal sensitivity for any given rain condition.

FMIB: It was a shock this morning. I've never seen that on any car before... :(

FMIB- Stani, do you have the aircon switched on all the time? I do and find it helps keep the moisture levels down

Not when the outside temperature is under +4°C. Your airco stops working to protect the condensor from freezing.

Yes, always switched on for all my cars. Using silica gel pouches does give some reduction, but it's not a solution.

Is there something that can be turned on to force the engine to turn over and heat up quicker
Let's be careful out there !
