Honda has revealed its limited edition Honda Jazz models, the Jazz Si and Jazz Si-T.
Both models get the standard 98bhp 1.4-litre petrol motor and five-speed 'box, but suspension is lowered and includes new dampers and larger front anti-roll bar, whilst power-steering is also modified to compliment the more sporting chassis set-up. Only 1000 examples of each will be produced.
Cosmetic changes include new bumpers, side skirts, tinted glass, front fog lights, Si badging and 16-inch alloys. Standard equipment on the Si includes cruise control, new black and silver seats, and leather steering wheel, while opting for Si-T adds sat-nav and Bluetooth. Both models are available only in red, black, blue, and white.
The Honda Jazz Si costs £14,550, while the Si-T is priced from £15,545.

I wanted better turn-in
I had the last generation Jazz (a 2004 model), in SE spec. The couple of things I wanted to change were - to have more suspension travel, and to have improved front-end turn-in. I certainly was not after something with more "sporty" glitz. I borrowed an old style Mazda 2 when my Jazz was in for service on one occasion and wished mine had that car's composure/steering feel. The "Sport" spec Jazz at the time had wider/lower profile tyres but to my mind they ruined the ride and killed the tight turning circle.

No-one played Gran Turismo?
In markets other than Europe the Jazz is the Honda Fit, and Honda have a Fit racing series. Personally I htink it's a cool little car, but in the UK it's certainly marketed as an oldie-wagon.
Having said that Honda UK are I'm sure aware that the UK market is insanely status-sensitive and they're keen to keep the OAP market. If they started to sell tuned-up Jazz's they may well lose the silver-surfer market.
