Ah, the Honda Jazz Crosstar EX. Now, before you make assumptions, let me assure you?this isn?t your gran?s hatchback. Well, it might be, but only if your gran has an unusually good grasp of hybrid drive systems and an eye for deeply impressive mileage figures. Registered in August 2022 and showing a frankly implausible 2,482 miles on the clock?possibly driven only to Waitrose and back on alternating Tuesdays?this Jazz is finished in the rather theatrical Premium Crystal Red pearl. That?s a three-stage paint, which in layman's terms means it has depth, shine, and a hint of ?look at me? that?s just subtle enough to avoid being vulgar. Under the bonnet?or rather, as part of a very clever eCVT hybrid system?you'll find Honda's i-MMD gubbins, which stands for Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive. It seamlessly juggles electric and petrol power without the driver doing anything at all. Frankly, it?s a marvel of modern engineering. You just get in, press a button, and feel quietly superior. Being the Crosstar EX, it?s the rugged one?think of it as a Jazz that?s been to an outdoor shop and bought a pair of sensible boots. Raised ride height, roof rails, water-resistant upholstery?it's almost adventurous. And, because someone planned ahead, this one comes with a Honda service plan valid until 2027. That?s peace of mind right there, and it means you?re free to enjoy the car without worrying about the little things. Like paying for it to be serviced. In short: it's efficient, lightly used, suspiciously clean, and quietly brilliant. Rather like a Japanese interpretation of an iPod?if the iPod had a steering wheel and could seat five people.
