What variation of the Honda Jazz should I buy?
My wife has a 2004 automatic Honda Jazz which she is considering changing for a newer model. She has been completely satisfied with her Jazz and does not wish to change to another model/manufacturer. My only comment is that I sometimes find the ride a little harsh although some of that may be due to neglected state of the highways. The choices our local dealer have offered are an October 2013 1.4 i-VTEC ES Plus, CVT, 15,000 miles for £9,490. A December 2013 with the same engine spec for £9,790 or a the third which is an August 2012 i-VTEC EXL, CVT at £9,990.
I cannot find out the difference between the ES Plus and the EXL and would appreciate your comments on this. They are all one owner cars with mileage ranging between 11,000 and 15,000 miles.

This gives you the specs: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-jazz-2.../ The EXL is EX spec and leather seats. One significant difference between ES and EX is that the ES has 15-inch wheels and the EX has 16-inch wheels. The 15-inch wheels give a more comfortable ride because there is more tyre between the rims and the road. That's what our Jazz is on. I'd go for the 15,000 mile 2013/63 October 2013 car. No point paying £300 more for the same reg the same year and just 2 months theoretically newer.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
