Musical chairs

I am intending to purchase a new car and I can't decide between the Honda Jazz and the Nissan Note. I like the clever interior of the Jazz and the idea of the reliability of Honda, but the Note seems that bit bigger and, getting older, I like the straight in level boot. The Nissan Automatic seemed to have a much smoother gear change than the Honda, but is less economical. Which one would you recommend of the two?

It's down to your personal choice. They are both tested and video tested www.honestjohn.co.uk If you want a smooth auto and less versatile interior, the Note. If you want better economy at the expense of an occasionally lurchy transmission, the Jazz.
