Why doesn't the new Honda Jazz have a digital speedometer?
Like JN of Midhurst, I too was caught doing 35mph in a 30 zone. First time in 60 years of blameless motoring, so I was cross. I took the speed awareness course, which cost me £90. However, my new Jazz has two speed alert signals built in. I have set one at 30mph (for urban driving) and one at 65mph (for motorways). It's a great small car, well equipped but I wish it had a digital speedometer. The analogue one marks 20 mph and 40mph clearly but not the important 30mph.

Those speed limiters are a useful feature of the Jazz. I was not aware of them. Makes up for no 30mph on the speedo.

I've just brought an ex-hire car. While driving it, a warning comes up at 80mph and says the car is at its maximum speed. Do some hire cars have speed limiters in them?

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
