cities, often as a useful second car, therefore covering a low mileage.
This very well equipped automatic one is very likely to have been made as a retirement purchase, with the intention of keeping it "for good". This makes them very rare on the second hand market, probably only dealer registered cars like the one I am driving here will become available and at a premium price at that.
Whereas your average Ford, Peugeot or Vauxhall ex-dealer £12,000 supermini would sell at 6 months to a year old for £9000, this particular Jazz is likely to fetch closer to £11,000.
FUEL ECONOMY 8 / 10: Small automatics guzzle fuel. What's different about the Jazz?
My mother once owned an Austin Metro 1.3 Automatic. It had all the performance of a constipated snail and drunk petrol at the rate of 23 miles to the gallon. My step-mother had ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Honda Jazz
Advantages: space, comfort, flexibility, fuel economy Disadvantages: absolutely none for me
it gives much more than my same-engine-size Escort. I would often have to floor the accelerator in the Escort to get uphill or overtake on the motorway, but the Jazz requires none of that. Acceleration is fast and responsive.
For those who are interested, it does 0-60 in 12 seconds (for comparison, 1.4 Clio does it in 13 seconds, and 1.4 Peugeot 205 in 15.2 seconds)
9/10
Criteria 7: Safety
The Jazz S has some impressive safety features, including a proper seat belt for the back seat passenger who sits in the middle, side-impact bars and driver and side airbags. Honda also expect the Jazz to attain 4 stars (i.e. very good indeed) in the euro safety tests.
9/10
Criteria 8: Good looks
The best word to describe the Honda Jazz is CUTE. Despite being an MPV it's not too tall (front seats are high because the petrol ...

Advantages: Great if you do not have long hair Disadvantages: Turbine head traps long hair
I rate dysons very highly but was extremely disappointed with this new model with the turbine head.
Yes it does pick up fine hairs with ease. However, on the opposite end of the scale the turbine head traps long hair. If you have thick, strong, long black hair like me with a high turnover, it renders the turbine head useless. After a few rooms I have to stop and cut the mass of trapped hair with scissors to prevent the machine overheating.
I have tried turning the turbine head off (which is recommended on wooden floors). However I have carpeted floors and the turbine head is next to useless at picking up hair without the turbine.
I have emailed dyson just now because what I need is the DC23 allergy floor tool. In effect I need to turn my DC23 animal into a DC23 allergy at a considerable expense.
In summary, I wish I had ...
