I was
extremely delighted when I received an invite mail for the Pre-Launch Event of
Honda Jazz on 4th July, 2015. When I looked at the venue details, my
joy was doubled since the event had to happen at F1 track of Buddh
International Circuit. It was also a proud moment since I was amazed at the
trust shown by Honda upon us bloggers as influencers to be part of this
Pre-Launch event of Honda Jazz. A perfect Hangout with Honda.
Hangout
with Honda Synopsis
Almost
top 100 bloggers were invited from all across the country. We had to reach at
Radisson Blu (Greater Noida) first. What a delight meeting all fellow bloggers.
After registration formalities, chit-chats with bloggers, and sumptuous lunch,
we were taken to Buddh International Circuit. Lot of surprises was waiting for
us over there viz. an awesome host VJ Yudhishtir, presentation, games, quiz,
rewards, band performance clubbed with snacks, drinks, dinner etc. We all got
to drive the All New Jazz at F1 track. A day very well spent. What an amazing
experience – truly a Dream Ride in Jazz at F1 during Hangout with Honda. Congratulations
to Honda team for putting up such a great event which was so very well co-ordinated
and organized. You took care of our to & fro travel, food, stay for
outstation bloggers at Radisson etc. Thank you for making us feel so important.
My Aha
Moments during ‘Hangout with Honda’
Registration: Registering for such a grand event of Pre-launch of Honda Jazz
i.e. Hangout with Honda itself gave lot of high. When I started blogging 15
months back, I never saw the opportunities coming my way through my blog
writing. I am absolutely in love with blogging.

seen Yudhi so many times on television, but interacting with him in person and
also clicking a selfie with him – absolutely loved these moments. And Yudhi,
you were just awesome. You captured the audience’ attention with your great
sense of humour, simplicity, humility. You instantly connected with all of us.

Safety
Instructions at the Control Room: This
was a fabulous experience understanding
the safety instructions to drive at F1. The kind of infrastructure
maintained to monitor the F1 track, response time in case of accidents are all
just superb.
The
Dream Ride at F1 track: When I look back, these
moments appear to be so surreal. Ah! I was excited as well as nervous to drive
in F1. Wearing the safety helmet and just standing there in front of the
stadium gave me goosebumps. I just could not believe that I was standing at
Buddh International Circuit – the famous F1 track.
I got
the Car No. 6 and I was the second from the Lead Car. Mr. Lalit from Buddh
International Circuit team accompanied me during my drive. There were 4 more
vehicles following me. And when we all completed our drive, rest of my friends
were looking for who was driving Car No. 6… since maximum number of call outs were
done for me, either to slow down or to keep pace with the vehicle in front. Indeed
I was conscious of driving and it was fun driving. Enjoyed every bit of my
dream ride.

The
Jazz‘y’ World
What stayed
with me after Mr. Kasushi and Ms. Navneet’s Presentation: What caught my attention is the advertisement of Honda Jazz: “Why
settle for more, when you can get everything”. Indeed Honda Jazz offers
everything. At the end of this post, I am sure, all of you would resonate with
what I said.
How
Jazz offers Everything? : Are you the one, who
never settles for less, rather u don’t even settle for more, want everything?
Honda Jazz is the right choice. It is definitely going to set a new benchmark
in premium hatchback segment.
Feel
young at Heart: Jazz’s exterior has been
designed with a great sporty look. Utility wise also, many factors are taken
into consideration. It has sporty sleek head lamps, front grille with premium
black gloss and chrome finish, LED high mount stop lamp, premium LED rear tail
lamps, Chrome rear license garnish, Alloy wheels, Electric adjustable &
foldable outside mirror with turn indicators, Rear parking camera with multi
view display and guidelines, Rear micro antenna.

Travel
in your Comfortable style: Interiors has been
designed keeping the comfort level of customers in mind. Magic seats allow
various seating modes as per the requirement by just flipping and unflipping
between different settings. Interestingly, four modes are there: Tall Mode,
Utility Mode, Refresh Mode, Long Mode. Honda describes it as ‘Highly
Functional and Versatile Interior’. Literally, it lets us fit in almost
everything, be it cycle, groceries, plants etc. The recline feature allows one
to use the front seat as a calf support for the rear seat passenger when the
front seat is fully laid back and the headrest is removed. This is certainly
going to be a feature and one of the unique proposition of Jazz. ‘Man
Maximum Machine Minimum’ absolutely fits Jazz.

Enjoy
Picnics: Magic seats when clubbed
with very good Cargo Space makes the vehicle very much suitable for picnics,
family tours. Cargo has 354 L capacity. Wow, isn’t it too good. Yes, 354 L
capacity makes the cargo more spacious and more convenient luggage room.

Multi Information Combimeter with Eco Assist Ambient Rings, Multi-Functional Steering Wheel with Audio
Controls, Hands Free Telephone Controls & Paddle Shifts (CVT only) and

Best in
Segment Technology: Indeed, Best in Segment
fuel efficient diesel engine (i-DTEC) and fuel efficient petrol automatic
(i-VTEC CVT) are used. The advantages are shown as below in the pictures. The
engine performance and fuel efficiencies is worth mentioning. 6 speed MT
gearbox in i-DTEC is unique. The paddle shifter in 1.2 liter i-VTEC is
brilliant. Excellent acceleration is there.
