• Honda - New honda jazz 1.2 vtec vs Honda jazz 1.4dsi 5 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I got a honda jazz on a o3 plate a 1.4 dsi, and the car went to the dealers for its annual service, they lent me a mark 2 jazz a 1.2 vtec se. My impression of driving the mk2 is that engine wise it got a similar performance to the 1.4 idsi, when driving in local area the old jazz is more drivable due to its higher torque under 3000 revs, on the motor way the new vtec comes on its own when you go above 3000 rpm it tends to go a bit more faster.
