I was actually quite surprised that I would like the Jazz this much. The engine was very rev-happy and the CVT a willing accomplice. Suspension absorbed ruts very well, but my heart bled every time I accidentally hit one. [emoji23] Since you mentioned that the car belongs to your friend, that's another point in its favor.

I've extensively driven both the Santa Fe and a Strada GLS Sport V (my uncle's). Mitsubishi's 4WD system and INVECS II are truly impressive, as befitting Mitsubishi's rally heritage. Engine performance is good with excellent midrange grunt, but suffers from pronounced turbo lag until full boost kicks in at around 2000rpm despite having a VGT. It is also prone to black smoke on full throttle, a trait that is even more pronounced among Montero's for some reason. I have yet to see a smoke belching R eVGT Santa Fe, and have only ever seen one smoke belching VGT Santa Fe.
