Honda’s hilarious hot hatch

Honda at long last brought its City kei car to Europe in 1984 (renaming it the Jazz), but the Turbo version never came to the UK, despite taking 50% of City sales in Japan. This was sad, as we found when driving one on the Continent that “its performance is outstanding” and “it’s one of the best-handling small cars of all”. In fact, we concluded that it was “the best thing since the Mini Cooper S”.
