Buying a used car for £6k - Fabia or Jazz?

A friend of mine is interested in buying a used car for £6000. She is interested in the Skoda Fabia and Honda Jazz. The car must be spacious, comfortable and have four-doors. What should she look out for?

£6k only gets a first generation Jazz 1.4iDSI CVT-7. Might get a Mk II Jazz 1.4iVTEC manual, but not a CVT-7. Avoid the Jazz i-shift. Not keen on the strange looking Mk II Fabia, but if she likes them, up to her.
