Will using Shell V Power improve the performance of our Honda Jazz?
We've decided to get a Honda Jazz SE Automatic for its space and versatility. We understand that it can be considered slow compared to other similar size vehicles. Would we would have any benefit by using Shell V Power petrol instead of the lower octane type?

The benefits of Shell V-Power are more torque at low engine speeds and keeping the fuel system clean. All cars run better on it. But it will not turn a Jazz 1.3 i-VTEC into a hot rod. A more powerful 130PS 1.5 i-VTEC engine is on the way for the Jazz. Surprisingly, not the 125PS 1.0 turbo as fitted to the Civic.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.

Bigger than previous Civic, independent rear suspension means better ride and handling, 1.0 VTEC turbo petrol is excellent while i-DTEC diesel is very refined.
