I have a Crosstar. Overall, very good. The presenter failed to mention the cars great advantage, which is both rear seat bases can be lifted independently and locked against the back squab. This gives a quite large “bucket” space, either on one side, or right across the rear floor. Really useful for soft luggage, large shopping bags etc, and if just two people touring. I can’t get 60 mpg, though. On a run from Salisbury to Edinburgh, via the Peak District and the Dales, and the Cheviots on the return leg, we averaged 54.1 mpg in a loaded car. Otherwise, I get 55.8 mixed driving. One last point: if not leasing, I would uprate the suspension. Quite soggy when pushed.

Once again another great review Tish. It's great that we get to see your reviews of different types of cars from a larger spectrum of car types. Not just super cars or budget options. Well done.

I drive the Crosstar and average 25k per annum, I do majority of motorway miles for business and as I have kept receipts and log my mileage for work I have been averaging 58mpg which I think is great as i'm not slow. At 5'9 tall and not petite I find it reasonable comfortable, i've long legs and could do with another 2 inches of leg room but overall it does the job. Also after avoiding the CarPlay thingy for last 2 years I have in the last few months got my head around it and it is brilliant, from listening to my audio books to alternative navigation options. Space, its a tardis, I always flip up the seat behind me and hang my clothes for the working week away, I have to say I love it - young 53 year old ;-)

Better than Yaris cross

Jazz outshines even most expensive Sedans in terms of Cabin Space and practicality... This is my Favourite all time CAR ever !!! Love You :) Thanks for the Review. Waiting it to be launched in India

Liked your review which is really gives a true picture of the Crosstar having owned one now for 2 years and love it. At first, I had to drive it around for joyrides as I thought the fuel gauge was not working. Absolutely marvelous on petrol. In fact love everything about it. I have only had Hondas since 1979 and appart from the Aerodeck 2.0, this Crosstar has to be up there somewhere in the top.

Fantastic car. Unbelievable space and comfort. A pleasure to drive.

Good review Tish! The Jazz packaging is amazing, I reckon there is more rear legroom than a Skoda Superb! Yet it's still a small car to park.

another enjoyable video full of info and your personality! (even though I missed you starting at the back of the frame and walking forward as you introduce the car featured in the review!) That funny burst of Eminem made up for it :)

Great review as ever shame they're so hard to get now. My mate was lucky enough to buy one back in July.

It should really have the robust package installed by default. Otherwise I think it's a really nice car to drive. It's quiet for it's size, feels well built and it's quite fun. Not sure about the looks but honestly, that is not why you buy a Jazz. Got a Civic now but actually thinking about going for this. I like it more.

We have had one of these for the past four months. Great car. Would not sell.

I have always found the seating and drive was more comfortable than the others as I drive one because I get a bad back when driving Peugeots etc.

It does not have a cvt gear box, in fact it does not have a gear box at all. So not sure where you got the jerky gear box from. I had one a year now, best car i ever owned. Easy to drive, but i must admit it does scream when you put your foot down. On the infotainment , you can customise big tiles and bottom tiles , so you can have the ones you use most close to hand . MPG, if i hypermile to work at 1am and no traffic on a 22 mile journey going around 27mph and feathering the throttle to kick in EV mode and using regen on hills and costing in drive, i have got 97MPH . On the way home rush hour and normal driving around 63MPH

Exactly. It's easy to get really amazing economy out of this car. She completely misses the fact that the car is ALWAYS running in electric motor mode. She also glossed over the drive assist modes, such as traffic jam assist, incredible lane keeping driving at motorway speeds, speed sign recognition with speed limit linked to that mode if activated. What's more the lane departure warning can be customised to be either intrusive or not depending on the settings chosen. Frankly, it's an amazing little car, and incredibly roomy for the category.

Best part of £25k. Including price at the start would be a good idea on future videos please

the car is nice but the presenter is beautiful.

Well done of the Honda Press Car Tish 👏🏻 I had the chance to test a crosstar last year, practicality is good. The interior space is ideal for those of an older generation with dogs, those with a more active lifestyle (ramblers) or even as a town car to tootle the kids/grandkids around. Economy is good too but it really is cringe worthy when you get it up the revs 😬

The Jazz is no longer sold here in Australia which is a shame because they are a very practical and reliable car. I have owned a couple of previous models since 2004 as 3rd cars to use for guests when they visited from the UK for a few weeks. While I no longer have that requirement or no longer own a Jazz, the ownership and running cost experience was always good.

Very well rounded car, though on the pricey side of a spectra, on the other hand, its screams value compared to Honda E.

It doesn't really have a CVT gearbox, the engine runs a generator and that powers an electric motor, once over about 62 it locks the engine to the transmission, with just the fixed gear, very clever system, I think Honday call it an eCVT. I

Not the best looking small hatch but it is the best overall due to Honda build quality and customer service.

This would do well in the U.S if it had a bigger engine. Can at least seat real people in the back, unlike the corolla hatch for example.

The Crosstar is a much nicer looking car than the standard Jazz. I would buy one before the standard one any day. On the standard EX you get faux leather dashboard and a heated steering wheel which you don’t get on the Crosstar. I live in Dublin and the Crosstar has only been introduced in the last couple of weeks. I imagine we will see a lot of them on the roads more so than the standard Jazz of which there are very few.

"On the standard EX you get faux leather dashboard and a heated steering wheel which you don’t get on the Crosstar." That's not all you don't get on the Crosstar when compared to the EX, Dave. The EX has also blind spot information and cross traffic monitor, two things I really value. Next to that you save almost £ 2k. But... for that money you get some Tupperware around, a louder stereo, a bit higher consumption and a bit smaller boot. 🤗

The back ground clearing this clip shows is misleading. It's the front that counts and that one seems puny. Obviously, most cars have lower gc in the front, but it is useless to show the back gc fimed from a convenient angle. It is bs.

Avoid letting the steering wheel go at the end of corners 🤓😇

25 grand, though. I'm sure it's very nice, but that's a lot of money for not a lot of car. Realistically, it's an 18 grand car on a good day. The Yaris Cross is also a hybrid, but a more advanced one. So it's more economical so I'd buy that instead.
