Buying a (fairly) new car
My two tall daughters and I need a new(ish) car. I would like a hatchback with a good safety record (crash test) that is cheap to run where fuel consumption and repairs are concerned, is reliable, has 5 doors, 5 seats and a reasonable-sized boot. We do about 7,000 miles a year, mostly in the city. Our budget is about GBP8,000. What would you recommend?

Try to find a current shape Honda Jazz 1.2. You should get one within budget.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
