The third-generation Honda Jazz (code name GK, or GP for the hybrid) is a versatile city car (B-segment) renowned for its exceptional spaciousness thanks to its central fuel tank and famous "Magic Seats".

A highly recommended purchase, provided that the fuel pump recall has been carried out on recent models.
