I would love to get MK4 but the Front of it is just so Darn ugly :(

[Bristol_Crosstar]

Three years and 12,000 miles no sign of cracking or spilts and the
material [whatever it is] feels so supple that I don't think there will be
any problem , plus every time I get in and out the side of the seat has
fourteen stone on it.

The Sport has a different seat design so I don't think the problem applies, probably just the earlier EX models that have issues.

I suppose any expression of personal  dislike for a feature of the Mk4  provokes  renewed discussion about others.  It doesnt necessarily mean those faults are more common in number, their frequency or seriousness. 

No car is perfect , especially when personal  taste and opinion  comes into play.

After starting this thread and stirring things up where is the original poster. 

He's over on the Civic forum asking if he should buy a 2016-2021 Civic, but is worried about the wheels falling off.

Nice one Nicksey

I have the MK1 and MK2 Jazz, even these look nicer on the front.
I think MK2 and MK3 Designs were the best looking.
My Friend calls these MK4 Jazzes ''Piglets'' because of how ugly it looks.

How did you got used to it being so ugly?

I quite like the looks of the car especially the grey. Don't like the update at all, especially the back with the lower black part of the bumper. It also looks much better without the chrome strip on the front bumper. I think the whole car looks tidy and neat. It's not trying to look flash which l like.

You certainly dont buy a Jazz on its looks and appearance.

The reason i bought mine, was because of both Honda and Toyotas remarkable reliability

I got rid of my 3yr old Mazda MX5 RF i had bought from new, full service history, 7600 miles on the clock.

It had never seen a damp road in its life, and sat in a garage for the winter, so it was an indulgence.

I still miss it, but owning the Jazz has made far more sense.

The Hybrid system of my Jazz Hybrid is very impressive, and over one year of ownership the car has surpassed all my expectations.

Extremely frugal on petrol, wonderful to drive, magnificent to own.

The looks have slightly grown on me, but looks are not important, reliability and fuel efficiency are top priority.

The only two cars i ever considered were a Toyota Yaris Hybrid or the Jazz.

The Jazz was purchased solely on the price i paid for it at the Honda dealers in Cannock, £23950 because it had been preregistered, a massive saving over list price.

My Jazz is such a wonderful car, that as soon as a new Mk5 model is announced i will be getting one, no matter what it looks like.

Reliability, fuel efficiency, joy of driving, appearance comes way down the list for me

Name a current production car with a great front, they all look much the same to me, grill, headlights and windscreen! The Jazz is probably the the best car for doing what a car is designed to do, getting you from A to B, cheaply, safely and reliable.

Not too much the same, look at the Hyunsai Inster. Now THAT is a car with a really ugly front end.

Yes and the Hyundai Inster

Yed, thay onw toi

He he 

[CB72]

It will get you from A to B, you won't see the front when you're driving

[CB72]

Compare to the new Honda Super N

[Downsizer]

Or the Renault R4. The original was my first car in 1965, and I think it was better-looking!

2026 model year facelift has a more pleasing front end .....

[Deejay]

I’ve not seen anything to suggest that the 2026 Jazz has any changes other than black badges. There are some dubious AI images and different front ends on Chinese Fit/Jazz models but those never seem to appear on European vehicles.

The black badges information came from a Honda salesman when I was buying my new Jazz a couple of weeks ago.
