I really liked the Jazz when I had it for a weekend - much more fun than the CRV SE I had the previous weekend.

Terrific engine in the wee car - thought the handling was very good too - just needed more rubber on the fronts to cope with the redlining. I found it very comfortable to sit in.

Try carrying some momentum into a roundabout - the understeer is a little unnerving coming from a S.
Nah, you were driving it all wrong. Need to treat the Jazz like a 205GTi. (Clue - it's fwd with narrow tyres, not a rwd sports car).

I had one, could get some rather tasty lift-off-oversteer through roundabouts if I got it right. Steering was, while light, feelsome enough and a lot better than the Civic's. In short, it was a proper, well-sorted hatchback...unlike the EP Civic!

Marshalls in Reading. I don't think they usually have one but either someone's recently qualified, or they've "borrowed" one.

Grrr...a bit of the trim behind the driver's seat hasn't been fitted back correctly Waiting on a callback as the service guy was with a customer. I'll just stop in after work I think.

Roof looks good though, particularly the front, given that with the last one I was a bit careless with some polish on the windscreen surround (and of course the catches are nice and tight too)
