I had intended to buy the new Honda Jazz but discovered that it was slightly wider and not fully automatic. The old Honda Jazz, which we have will only just go into the garage so we are at a loss what to buy. I am the only driver, and this will be most likely the last car we shall buy being as I'm in my mid 70's. So I'm looking for a car no wider than the Jazz, automatic, easy to get into and obviously not too expensive to run. It's a great pity it cannot be the new Jazz. It was a joy to drive.
