Honda has provided car lovers with a double dose of sports car by releasing the Honda Jazz Sport and the Honda Type R. We compare these two.
Honda has graced the public with a double dose of speed, as they launch two new sporty models. This comes after the recent release of the Honda Jazz Sport and the Honda Civic Type R.
If Honda hasn't been your brand of choice previously, why not take a look at what these hot wheels have to offer.
The Jazz Sport breaks the old peoples' vehicle stereotype that the original Honda Jazz receives. This little sports car has the same exterior as the normal Jazz, however it does have the bells and whistles to make it look like a mean sports car machine.
The Type R however, has been improved to provide drivers with comfort and stability on the road. If speed and sound is what you like, then get your hands on this fast-paced cabby.
We put these two models to the test as they compete for the top spot. Take a look at the results.
There is quite a big different in price between the two vehicles, however it all depends what the buyer is looking for. If you are looking for a full blown sports car with all the bells and whistles, then the Honda Type R is perfect.
Although this model might seem quite pricey, it can't be compared to other sports cars on the market, that offer the same with a much heavier price tag.
The Jazz Sport would be classified as your entry level sports car. It is good for nipping around, although it does take a while longer to reach speeds.
If you are still confused, why not take the "What Kind Am I?" test.
