HONDA JAZZ (2001-TO DATE)本田爵士乐(2001年至今)
Hands up all who remember the original Honda Jazz?谁手里都记住了原来本田爵士乐? Available between 1984 and 1985, its mayfly longevity hints at its less than soaraway success.现有1984年至1985年,其长寿蜉蝣少于soaraway暗示其成功. A bug-eyed box on wheels, the old Jazz was a mere stopgap, designed to plug a hole in the range until the next generation Civic appeared.一条虫眼睛盒轮子,老爵士乐仅仅是治标,为了堵塞各种漏洞,直到我们的下一代公民出场. Fast forward sixteen years and Honda were at the same game again, importing the underwhelming Logo for just a year until new Jazz landed.快16年了,都在同一游戏本田再次引进underwhelming标志短短一年,直到新爵士乐降落. Fortunately ?幸好? unless you plumped for a Logo ?除非你有喧宾夺主徽? the Jazz was well worth the wait, rapidly becoming one of the finest superminis on sale.爵士乐是值得等待,迅速成为全球最优秀superminis发售. There?s still little to touch it in terms of design flair, engineering excellence, driving characteristics and sheer reliability.?收盘仍很少触及它在设计独到设计,驾驶特点和明目可靠性. If you want a small car that?s as close to a bulletproof used buy as it?s possible to get, the Honda Jazz is it.如果你想要一个小型轿车?接近收盘防弹用来买它?收盘可能得到,这是本田的爵士乐.
HISTORY历史
Prior to 2001, Honda?s attempts to interest the British public in anything smaller than a Civic had fallen on stony ground.在2001年之前,本田?英国公众利益的企图,在任何一个公民都小于落在石地上. As the Civic got bigger and more sophisticated with each passing generation, however, breathing space appeared for a five-door supermini and the Jazz debuted in November 2001.作为公民有更大更精密胜过一代,但是喘息亮相五门超小型、爵士乐亮相2001年11月. Some cars are ?growers?, taking their time to impress you with their range of qualities.有的车?种植者?以自己的时间与幅度,使你选用. The Jazz was anything but.但爵士乐是什么. Within ten seconds of getting into the little Honda it was clear that Honda had raised the supermini bar a good few notches with their effort.10秒进入本田显然是本田很少提出超小型酒吧好几个缺口的努力.
Three separate trim levels were available, S, SE and SE Sport (more often referred to as merely Sport) and in May 2002 a seven-speed ?stepped-CVT?三个层次可单独修剪,硫、硒、硒康(通常只称为体育)、2002年5月7速度?加强无级变速? gearbox was offered which Honda somewhat prosaically dubbed the CVT-7.本田变速箱修读有点prosaically称为无级变速-7. The Jazz attracted plaudits right from the outset with perhaps only the lack of a diesel engine being considered an Achilles heel.爵士乐从一开始就吸引了松江或许只是缺少一个柴油机被视为软肋. All post summer 2004 models have ABS with EBD and brake assist.2004年夏,邮政与实证牙医学模式和刹车ABS的帮助.
In the Autumn of 2004, a facelifted Jazz went on sale complete with the one thing that almost all commentators had been crying out for ?2004年秋天,一个完整的销售facelifted爵士乐接着一件事,几乎所有的评论家曾大声疾呼? another engine option.另一发动机方案. The 77bhp 1.2-litre engine arrived to supplement the 1.4-litre that had been the car?s sole powerplant since launch.77bhp的1.2-1.4公升引擎抵达补充公升轿车已经?收盘推出以来唯一动力. The 1.2 was offered exclusively in S trim and these models retained the old Jazz styling while the SE and Sport 1.4 derivatives got revised lights front and rear plus other alterations.120独家提供,并在这些模型的修剪造型而保留旧爵士乐硒康得修改衍生四月一日前后加上灯光等的改建. Overall the changers were fairly superficial.整体的换比较肤浅.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The first thing that?s apparent is that the Jazz looks like a Civic five-door that?s been in a hot wash a tad too long.第一件事是什么?显而易见的是,收盘爵士乐宛如公民五门?收盘处于热洗赚取太长. Yes, there are individual touches such as the neat tail light clusters and the flared wheel arches, but it?s not going to be mistaken for anything other than a Honda.不错,有个别触及诸如齐整尾巴轻群和发作车轮拱门、但它?收盘不会被误认为本田公司以外的任何一个. Its makers claim the styling is based on a design concept called ?zenshin?, meaning new, progressive and integrated.庄家声称其造型设计理念,是基于一种称为?zenshin?,新的含义、进步与集成. Given that the nose is especially derivative of Stream and Civic models in adhering to the Honda family ?face?, we?d question quite how new and progressive the overall philosophy is.鉴于衍生流鼻涕、尤其是公民的模范,坚持本田家族?面对?、我们?四、新的问题如何比较哲学是渐进的整体. Still, the styling certainly works for its intended market.不过,市场预期其作品造型肯定.
The designers have thought long and hard regarding the packaging of the car and have utilised Honda?s expertise in MPV manufacture to engineer in a number of fundamental advantages.设计者曾思量:关于包装的本田轿车,并用?收盘巡逻艇专门制造工程师到很多的优势. Moving the fuel tank from beneath the rear seats to a position under the front pair liberates the floor of the cabin and allows the seats to be folded into all sorts of permutations.移动油箱从后座底下有一双解放阵线的立场下地上的机舱座位,允许被折叠成各种排列组合. Granted, you don?t get the option of removing the rear seats but they almost make up for this in their sheer versatility.准予您鲍思?笔得选择拆除后座但他们几乎弥补这简直多才多艺. An innovative retraction system means that you?re able to collapse the rear seats into the footwell with the headrests in place.制度创新是指你退缩?能够再度崩溃入后座的头垫footwell到位. What?s more impressive still is that this action doesn?t involve scurrying around the car to manually slide the front seats forward, it can all be accomplished from the rear door thanks to a convenient set of levers.什么?更为可观的是,这一行动仍然不惜?笔涉及窜到绕车前座向前滑手动,它可以全部完成从后门经过一套杠杆便捷.
The result is a perfectly flat load floor 1740mm in length.结果是纯平负荷地板1740mm长度. Sports fans will appreciate the fact that if you then recline the front passenger seats, there?s enough room inside the diminutive Jazz for a pair of 240cm long downhill skis!体育爱好者都会明白,如果你再横卧前座乘客座位,?房间内足够的爱称爵士乐激活了一双长下坡滑水! Honda have focused on making this trick seating system as user friendly as possible.本田着眼作出这种伎俩座椅系统倍感方便. Think of how many MPVs claim to have removable seats, only for them to prove so heavy that any thought of shifting them brings on a latent hiatus hernia.想想多少声称拥有移动mpvs席位只有如此沉重,来证明他们的思想转变他们带来任何一个潜在裂孔疝. Vauxhall showed that smart seating solutions should be the work of a couple of seconds with the Zafira and the Jazz brings this concept into the supermini class.狂暴显示智能解决方案应该是工作座位数与zafira秒和爵士乐带来的超小型阶级这个概念.
Although the external dimensions only read 3,830mm long by 1,675mm wide, the Jazz is a good 1,525 mm tall, making it loftier than a Toyota Yaris and even its senior sibling the Civic.虽然外围尺寸只有经过漫长的1675毫米宽3830毫米,1525毫米,是一个很好的爵士乐高大使它高于丰田yaris乃至手足的资深公民. The driving position is fairly upright as a result and even those well over six feet tall should be able to find a comfortable position behind the wheel.驾驶位置相当正派,甚至由于超过6英尺高大应该能够找到一个舒适的位置后面的车轮. Once there, they?ll spot a bold curve to the centre console with a number of equally striking colour and texture combinations used around the cabin.一旦发生,他们?当地现货大胆曲线向中心控制台同一些同样引人注目颜色和质地组合使用前后舱. The theme of greys and metallic edging works very well, with even the door cards featuring contrasting obliquely scythed designs.主题黑白不分、金属缓缓作品很好,甚至对立门斜scythed咭设计.
A metallic instrument panel and an aluminium-covered cluster of three main dials make the Jazz appear somewhat sporty.仪表板和金属铝盖拨号集群三大使爵士乐似乎有点潇洒. As would be expected from a car that will have to play the family role at times, the cupholder count is well up to the class standard with a pair positioned aft of the floor-mounted gearlever and a couple more in front.作为汽车,预计将有来自家庭的角色扮演有时cupholder票最多的也是一流水准的后部有一双位置的地板装gearlever和夫妇更前面. Arrive home with a soggy KFC Variety Meal in a Honda Jazz and you?ve only yourself to blame.偶回家来了肯德基家乡鸡品种餐本田爵士乐,你呢?味只责怪自己. The floor mounted centre console is usefully sized and there?s also a storage tray that runs beneath the instrument panel big enough to fit an atlas.地板安装中心控制台是有益放开?收盘也贯存储盘够大,仪表板下方安装了阿特拉斯.
Safety hasn?t been ignored and Honda designed the car to achieve a four-star NCAP safety rating with standard twin front airbags on all variants and side airbags available according to model chosen.独具特色的安全?笔被忽视和本田汽车旨在实现四星评级标准ncap安全气袋孪生战线和一切变气袋可根据示范方选择. ABS became standard in 2004.ABS的标准,成为2004. A great deal of thought has gone into the design of the upper seat backs, the bending characteristic of the seat carefully mapped to help reduce whiplash injuries.经过深思熟虑,已投入上座位靠背设计、弯曲的特点精心策划的座位,以减少鞭伤. Likewise, the head restraints were shifted forwards to cushion impact sooner.同样,头垫垫被转嫁到前锋冲击越快.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
It probably won?t come as any great surprise to learn that the Jazz clings onto its value with some tenacity.它可能赢得了?笔感到非常意外地获悉任何爵士乐抱到自己的价值与一些坚韧. A basic S model that retailed new for £8,845 back in November 2001 is still worth around £5,650.一个基本的零售新模式早在2001年11月为8845英镑,仍值得5650英镑左右. SE versions fetch £6,125 and the Sport, again on the 2001 ?51?硒和体育版卖到6125英镑,00月再次?1951年? plate opens at £6,900.开幕片6900英镑. The CVT7 cars are rare but a fair price for an SE model on an 02 plate is around £7,950.但难得的cvt7车公平价格在2002年进行示范硒板7950英镑左右. Insurance for the Jazz is both reasonable and straightforward ?保险爵士乐既合理又简单? Group 3 right across the board.第三组算作.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
No significant faults have emerged amongst the used stock of Jazz models so far and owners tend to be very pleased with both the car and the level of after sales support they receive from Honda.在没有出现重大失误,用存量爵士乐型号到目前为止,业主往往是很满意的汽车销售和水平获得支持后,由本田. The interiors are reasonably idiot proof and low speed bump resistance is a Jazz forte.白痴论证和合理的内部低速碰撞阻力是爵士乐长处.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx prices based on 2002 Jazz SE) Prices for the most popular Honda spares have taken a tumble of late and are now very reasonable.(根据2002年的价格大约爵士乐硒)最受欢迎本田备件价格采取了滚落晚,现在非常合理. Break one of the Jazz?s bulbous headlamps and you might well expect a bill knocking on for £200, but Honda will charge you just £90.休息一个爵士乐?收盘依偎大灯,你可能期望在一项为1338英镑200,但本田将收取您刚才英镑90. An alternator will retail for a reasonable £212 and a new starter motor ?一个合理的发电机将零售212英镑,新起动马达? new, note, not exchange ?新,说明没有交换? is £155.是155英镑. A new clutch kit for the Jazz tots up to £155.新离合器套爵士乐摔多达155英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
This being Honda, we can almost take ridiculously good engines for granted, but in this instance the Japanese company seems to have searched long and hard for a couple of extra stops to pull out.这是本田,我们几乎把好可笑引擎理所当然但在这种情况下,日本公司似乎已经搜查学到一两站外撤军. Engine-wise, the main choice is a 82bhp 1.4-litre powerplant but it is a clever one, utilising i-DSi (intelligent Dual Sequential Ignition), a system that uses two spark plugs per cylinder and compact combustion chambers to ensure good performance, economy and compactness.发动机上的主要选择是82bhp1.4-公升动力之一,但它是一个聪明、我利用-DSI机(智能双顺序点火)该系统采用了双火花塞每汽缸、燃烧室紧凑确保良好表现,经济和压实. The economy figure of 48.7mpg is not to be sneezed at.经济数字48.7mpg不是要打喷嚏时. Likewise the CO2 emissions are up a smidgeon at 137g/km.同样的二氧化碳排放量最多的是在137g/km.smidgeon People looking at later Jazz models have the option of going for the 1.2-litre i-DSi engine which boasts 77bhp.人们看后都选择到爵士乐型号为120公升一DSI机发动机拥有77bhp. 0-62mph acceleration is only slightly blunted from the 1.4 at 13.7s and fuel economy improves to 51.4mpg.0-62mph加速只是稍微淡化从14013.7s和燃料经济好转时至51.4mpg.
The Jazz CVT-7 is an interesting proposition.爵士乐无级变速-7是一个有趣命题. What many people disliked about these gearboxes was the so-called ?rubber band effect?.很多人喜欢什么变速箱是这些所谓的?橡筋作用?. When you pressed the throttle pedal, the engine automatically revved to its maximum power output, the engine noise rising instantly with the car?s actual acceleration slowly catching up.当你按下油门踏板,它的发动机引擎自动最大功率输出瞬间崛起的汽车发动机噪音?实际收盘加速度慢慢追赶. This gave a nasty ?slipping clutch?这给了个坏?离合器打滑? effect which proved very unpopular with most drivers who preferred to equate their road speed with the noise their engine was making.这证明非常不得人心的效果与多数司机宁愿把自己的车速与发动机噪音正. If you don?t mind the noises emanating from beneath the Jazz?s tiny bonnet the fully automatic CVT mode is the smoothest and most fuel efficient mode to be in. You can even select Sport or Normal modes depending on whether you want optimum fuel efficiency or engine response.如果你鲍思?笔记噪音来自下方爵士乐?收盘小小的头盖的全自动无级变速模式是最顺、最有效的方式是燃油进来你甚至可以选择正常或运动模式,取决于你想要最佳发动机燃料效率或反应.
For many owners however, the stepped automatic mode will be infinitely preferable.许多车主然而,阶梯式自动将无限可取. This gearbox gets around the dreaded elastic band effect by having seven artificially mandated gears rather than one continuous ratio.这个可怕的变速箱得到周围有七人为弹力带效应授权齿轮而非一个连续的比率. Here the gearbox replicates the actions of a normal torque converter-equipped automatic quite well, zipping through the seven stepped ?gears?这里的正常行为重复变速箱变矩器配备自动不错,通过压缩七个阶梯?齿轮? with real verve.真充沛. If you want the ultimate control, switch to manual control and ping about the ?box using the wheel-mounted switches.如果你想要的最终控制,改用手动控制,对平?信箱用车轮装开关. It?s great fun for a while, but such is the excellence of the Jazz?s artificial intelligence that the fun soon palls when you realise the computer?s making a better fist of things than you are.?收盘大乐趣了一会儿,但就是这样杰出的爵士乐?收盘人工智能,很快乌烟瘴气的乐趣,当你认识电脑?收盘作出更好的东西比你拳头.
OVERALL 总体
If you?ve got an eye for quality and don?t mind forking out for it, the Honda Jazz is a good bet.如果你?维生素E有长远眼光和顿河品质?笔记杈出,本田爵士乐是一种很好的赌注. There?s not a weak link in the entire range and residual values will be rock solid.?收盘没有一个薄弱环节,在整个射程和剩余价值将磐石. Honda have proved that there is intelligent life to be found beyond the Civic.本田证明有智能生命可以发现超出公民. Recommended.推荐.
