"I mean, in GLI spec with the standard rims [wheels] and a kind of pastel colour, it's a total grandma car.
"However, with cool rims, and suspension that is lowered just a little bit, they look so good. It's probably why there is such a strong aftermarket community surrounding the Jazz."
The second-generation Honda Jazz was produced between 2008 and 2015.
It was a five-door supermini that proved to be a hit around the globe, being built in various countries including the UK.

In comparison to similar models like the Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fiesta, the Jazz is known for having a larger boot and economical 1.2 and 1.4 petrol engines, both of which average at around 50mpg.
Today, buyers can bag a Jazz of this era from around £1,500, with cleaner, lower-mileage examples typically retailing for between £2,500 and £3,000.
Adam highlighted just how many useful storage compartments can be found inside the Honda Jazz, including two gloveboxes and several cup holders in the centre console.

"You've got a spot for your phone near the power outlet, you've got two cup holders, plus all of this is removable so it's easy to clean.
"In terms of what stuff you get, obviously you can forget Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; they're just too old for that technology.
"However, there are so many quality aftermarket kits that can resolve that issue."
The motors whizz suggested that the Jazz can make a racket at motorway speeds, but otherwise has very few flaws.
He continued: "Common complaints and faults when it comes to the driving experience.
"First of all, quite a few owners have complained of excessive cabin noise, especially at freeway speed, because the interior is basically like a speaker box.
"Okay, I tend to agree, it can get a little bit noisy, but you can't expect Lexus levels of refinement.
"You know what, besides that, we struggled to find really any other complaints about the driving experience. For me, the manual shift feel could be a little more slick, but even that can be easily fixed with some aftermarket bushes."
