What Car? says
For It's flexible, well equipped, easy to drive and reliable
Against It has a firm ride, and it's noisy. It's also expensive to buy and service
Verdict
Pricey, but Jazz owners are the most satisfied supermini drivers around
Go for… 1.4 i-DSI
Avoid… Pre-2003 cars
- 1. Town run-arounds like the Jazz tend to pick up dings and scratches, so inspect the bodywork carefully
- 2. The split rear seats fold flat and the bases can tip up for another self-contained storage area behind the front seats
- 3. Try to avoid any cars built before spring 2003 because that's when the suspension was improved
- 4. Ensure the door mirrors are undamaged and adjust properly - they're expensive to fix
- 5. The Jazz's exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve can get stuck, which leads to the engine responses becoming jerky
