What's wrong with that? The Jazz is a quality motor with good residuals.

Phantom · 27 Jan 2006 at 11:29

not a bad car; economical and practical with what for what she needs it for

what colour is it?

For 10 and a half thousand?!

matthew_o50 · 27 Jan 2006 at 11:33

it may be £10.5k but she could have spent it on a lot worse car.

D4VE · 27 Jan 2006 at 11:34

yup I thought he was going to say MG ZR or Corsa or something. Phew.

I would be happy if my sister just bought a Honda. Its her money so wtf.
Also i would be confident Never to get called out on a breakdown or jump start or any of the numerous other problems some other cars suffer from. I am the Head Male in our family so am obliged to help all in this regard. I wish all the woman in my family had 10k for a Honda.
Good Luck to her. :cool:

make sure she gets them to do the years paint checks or it won't be worth jack all after the first year. And quite often they won't do it as part of the service!

u could get a corsa for £10.5k? lol

Most spendy Corsa is the Corsa SXi+ a/c 1.8i 16v 5 Door Hatch @ a staggering £12,655 OTR

Lead_Head · 27 Jan 2006 at 12:28

I thought they did a SRi as well that was the 1.8.

jamoor · 27 Jan 2006 at 12:43

isnt the jazz in such high demand dealers dont budge on prices?

Exactly what I thought!

It's not the sort of car we would buy, but I'm sure it fills her needs well.

Jazz...Nice. :cool:

Why get a paint warranty though?

My Fiat Bravo is 10 years old in a few months and doesn't have any rust at all. And it's a Fiat!!

Waste of £200 imo.

My basic position is never buy an extended warranty on anything.

geiger · 27 Jan 2006 at 13:13

Jazz is best in its class apparently though I'd get a Yaris diesel I think

Freefaller · 27 Jan 2006 at 13:14

Not bad for a brand new car. And the Jazz ain't too bad a motor if it meets her requirements, which it sounds like it does if she's a mother? The paint warranty could be a good idea though only if it covers non wear & tear reparations.

saitrix · 27 Jan 2006 at 13:16

Good buy there for a Honda Jazz. The 1.2 at £8172 isnt a bad buy in my opinion, then you can get the 1.4SE for £9958. I like them, enough power and so practical for the size of the car!

Dangerous · 27 Jan 2006 at 13:21

Ive actually drove one of these and it was really horrid. Theres no feel in the steering wheel at all and rolls too easy around corners. But as a mother I dont think she'll be testing that

maybe a little small though?

wesley · 27 Jan 2006 at 13:29

yeah she's a mother of 2 children, 20 months old and 6 years old. she want a car that last her for 10 years.

its just i feels that she can get a decent value car like my focus, i paid £7000 for 1 year old 1.6 focus zetec. much much better car overall than Jazz
