| The Jazz is such an ingenious little car it's hard to find a rival model which is better. Its well-proportioned mini-people carrier styling is one of the key reasons why the car works so well. At the back there's a very large boot and the load area can easily be changed. Simply fold the rear seats into the footwell for a completely flat floor, or just fold the seat bases forward to effectively create two separate boot areas. In addition to all this clever stuff, passengers appreciate the very generous head- and legroom. The high driving position with lots of adjustment in the seat and steering wheel is great for drivers of any size. Under the bonnet is a highly efficient 1.4 litre petrol engine which delivers almost 50mpg in day-to-day use which is very impressive. Driving the Jazz is fun and the price is very competitive considering what you get. |
