All new 2014 Honda Jazz (3rd Gen)

[e2romo]

well subcompacts aren't really meant to fit 3 adults in the rear seats. usually pambata na yung gitna, especially for family use. pinoy naman maski 4 o 5 pinagkakasya sa rear seats kung kinakailangan hehe

If the previous 2 models can seat 3 comfortably at the back and now they've remove this feature then I would call that a downgrade.

Haha Ikaw naman, it's just a way to squeeze more value from one's purchase. =)

With the previous gen Jazz, your butt can occupy both the 60/40 split seats as the cushions are aligned. The new 2014 Jazz made part of the 60 split seat more padded than the other (see pic below) which means the seats are not aligned anymore. An adult seating on the middle seat will have part of his butt floating - pretty uncomfortable.

yes and yes!

actually i think the seat material is partly to blame. it's a bit more sponge-y imo (vs the previous gens). the awkward position of the rear center feels more apparent due to the inconsistent cushioning. well as a consolation, the 2014 now has a center head rest vs the 1st and 2nd gen thai units haha.

well if you're planning to use the rear to regularly seat 3 adults, get ready for an eventual fight. otherwise, kids for sure won't mind.

It's not a matter of how many you can seat, it's how many you can SAFELY seat.

The Jazz is a subcompact.

The compact segment would be Altis et al.

Honda themselves classified the 3rd gen as a compact. They moved it up a class. But dont blame me. I just read it. Can google it as ive seen it in a couple of places.

Talaga? Is that Compact positioning only in the Philippines? In other countries, it's still positioned as a sub-compact.

[EQAddict]

Yup. Am not sure where i read it. Try motioncars.com, autoindustriya or thecarchart.

^^^ Motioncars.

Well Honda's fooling themselves since noone else considers this to be a compact.

If it's size alone that determines the vehicle's categorization, all subcompacts should be compacts since today's subcompacts are much bigger than the 90s compacts.

^^^ Yes, it's actually size that determines what class a vehicle belongs to. Passenger and cargo volume.
