Fastest Vehicle Under 1M

The Jazz would have been more fun to drive if Honda brought locally the USDM Fit version with the 1.8L engine. Honda's L15 1.5L engine feels lethargic at low rpms and needs to be revved high to keep it going fast. Also, Honda's steering for its small cars feels a bit numb unlike the one found on the Accord. The Jazz is quite nimble with its light chassis. The L15 engine is also more fuel efficient than Ford's 1.0L turbo engine. However, on a sprint, the Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost will outclass the Jazz 1.5L. My old 6th gen Accord 2.3L was quick but the Fiesta might give it a good challenge on a sprint.

There's no 1.8 engine for the Jazz/Fit in North America or even Japan. 1.5 talaga or the Hybrid

I thought they had one as the HRV has the 1.8L engine. The HRV uses the Fit platform. The Jazz/Fit would have been more lively if it did have the Honda 1.8L engine.

On a different note, Honda will be introducing a new 1.0L turbo engine and it will most likely be used for the base model Civic and the Jazz/Fit. This new 1.0L turbo engine has similar output as the 123hp/170Nm tune of Ford's 1.0L Ecoboost engine. Since 2015, the European Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost is tuned for 138hp/210Nm.
