So if you are  someone who never settles for less and you want it all, the all new Honda Jazz is the perfect match for you.

Comfort, space, technology, power and innovation-Sedan like comfort in a sporty new design and a power packed performance that returns segment leading mileage.

Topped by segment first features like Auto AC with touch screen control panel and a a paddle shift.Best in segment space and innovative it really does score very high on all fronts it all.

That is the All new Honda Jazz for you.

And when a  fantastic opportunity to drive one of these vehicles on the Buddh racing circuit came up recently, it was one of the most memorable days of my life. 

In the All new Honda Jazz

F1's newest showpiece, Buddh International circuit, has been designed as one of the fastest, most exciting motor racing circuits in the world, and is well-suited to the requirements of powerful, high-spec racing of cars and motorcycles. After successfully hosting two F1 Indian Grand Prix in 2011 and 2012, the BIC has hosted some of the most challenging motorsport events on the planet.The 5.14 km track has a combination of 16 corners, high-speed straights and dramatic changes in elevation that has been designed to provide ample opportunities for overtaking, which is what makes motor racing exciting. At the same time, in terms of adherence to safety norms and regulations, run-off areas, medical facilities, facilities for the media and overall 

Some finer points about the All New Honda Jazz- The Jazz has 2 engine options - the 1.2 litre petrol though has been borrowed from the Brio but has a slightly higher power output of 89bhp though is tuned for efficiency. You can opt for either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT with paddle shifters.The 1.5 litre i-DTEC diesel engine puts out exactly the same figures (98bhp, 200 Nm) as the diesel City's because of course it's the same motor and also gets the same 6 speed manual. But the downside of the diesel motor is that it doesn't very refined like we saw on the Amaze and the engine clatter creeps into the cabin. The car accelerates easily and since peak torque kicks in pretty low, wading through city traffic will be a breeze also because the peak torque kicks in fairly low.

The fuel efficiency numbers of the Jazz are impressive with the diesel engine claiming 27.3Km/l, just 0.3Kms behind the newly launched Maruti Celerio diesel, making it one of India's most fuel efficient car. The petrol CVT delivers 19Km/l, while mileage claims on the manual are at 18.7Km/l. -very impressive for a car this size.

To close on the same thought as I started-"A whole lot more. Never seen before" So if you are  someone who never settles for less and you want it all, the all new Honda Jazz is the perfect match for you.
