Honda Jazz

Honda's Jazz is one of the cleverest superminis around. It's a thoroughly modern design that's innovative in its use of space, with remarkably good head and rear legroom, well specced, and fitted with frugal and characterful engines. It's at its best in town where it's both friendly and fun to drive. It's very nearly the complete package. The only criticisms are the high initial asking price (although Jazz holds its value well) and the lack of a diesel or headline model (like the Civic Type-R) to get the young driver market interested.

DSI, SE, SPORT, CVT-7

Most are well-equipped which combines with the plush feel to help justify the price. Base model gets electric front windows, twin airbags and CD player. SE gets air-con.
