| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
It could hardly be easier, with light, accurate, electrically-powered steering, a jerk-free driveline, smooth-acting brakes, a precise and easy gearchange, bold dials and switches and a high, commanding driving position. A large window area helps in tight manoeuvres, too. The Jazz leans quite a lot in corners, but the movements are well damped and it handles tidily. You can feel what's happening through the steering - it feels less 'viscous' than the bigger Civic's similar electric-powered system - and the cornering line tightens obediently if you ease the power. The responses are too soft to be sporting, but the Jazz is still interactive enough to give a good time.
