Should I get a Honda Jazz or a MINI Cooper?
I currently own a Honda Jazz and have been very pleased with it. I am thinking of changing it either for another Jazz 1.3 i-VTECor a MINI Cooper. Either would be automatic. Which do you advise I go for, or would you suggest an alternative?

Very contrasting cars. The Jazz is spacious, economical, reliable and slow with average handling. The MINI Cooper is quick and fun to drive, but isn't spacious and the 3-cylinder engines have had some reliability issues that BMW has put right so should not affect new cars. Jazz is CVT. MINI is torque converter auto.

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.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
