Which small hybrid?

We are a retired couple looking to buy a new small car.

I gather small diesels are not a good idea for our motoring profile and thus we will probably go with a hybrid.

The two that fit the bill are the Jazz and Yaris. Which do you think is the better car for suburban (non London) use?

The Yaris is now the best buy because it's £1,000 cheaper, works very well and is VED free. However, it does lack the level of versatility and practicality of the Jazz interior.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
