I'm 5'10" and I couldn't see the hood either. These new cars really don't consider anymore that you need to see your hoodline but you got to 'feel' where it is.

It doesn't take long to get used to it anyway. What I do to make it easier is that I ask somebody to stand in front of the car touching the bumper. I then create a mental picture on how far is the person to know how far is the nose of the car from me.

The Jazz CVT is a fun car to drive and very practical.
