Should I buy a new Honda Jazz?

I have had a Honda Jazz for seven years now and am thinking of swapping it for an automatic, possibly a hybrid. I do very few long journeys but use my car a lot for shortish local journeys. I would be looking for an approximately two year old car. Is the Jazz my best option or would you recommend a similar car as a better buy?

If the latest Honda Jazz (launched in 2020) is within budget, it could be a very good choice. It's a versatile hybrid model with extremely low running costs that'd be well suited to short, local journeys. Also look at the latest Toyota Yaris – it's another cheap-to-run hybrid hatch with a slightly more stylish (but less spacious) interior than the Jazz.

Looks great on the outside and isn't too shabby on the inside either. Hybrid engine is cheap to run and relaxing. Autonomous aids make long drives painless.
