Honda JAZZ 1.4 i-VTEC ES Hatchback 5dr Petrol Manual Euro 4 (100 ps) for £2,795

The second generation of Honda Jazz was launched in 2008 and sung from exactly the same copybook as its predecessor – it aimed to offer top-tier ease of use, unparalleled practicality in a small car, and brilliant reliability. By and large, it managed those three things, and the latter in particular makes it an excellent used buy today. Though more expensive than rival superminis at launch, the used market has evened things out, and there are numerous Mk2 Jazz models available for everything from a few hundred quid to several thousand pounds. Truly straddling size classes means the Jazz rivals both superminis and larger cars, but vehicles offering a similar blend of practicality and pragmatism include the Renault Modus, Mazda2 or Nissan Note.
