Between 2003 and 2021 the Jazz was Honda's volume seller in SA, prized for its Magic Seats and unusually big load space for a small hatch. Three generations were sold before Honda switched the nameplate to Fit in mid-2021. Used values stay firm because demand from downsizers and families consistently outstrips supply.
