Up tempo jazz

My wife has a Honda Jazz. She likes the boot space, 4 doors and length but would prefer something that is a little quicker with those criteria. Can you recommend anything?

Nothing else has the same clever interior except for the Honda Civic. It's a Honda patent. But there are plenty of quicker cars the same size. Citroen DS3 1.6THP 150, SEAT Ibiza 1.4 150 Twincharger, and now, of course, the Audi A1 1.4TSI 122. Honda actually builds a quicker 120PS 1.5 litre Jazz 5-speed torque converter automatic at Swindon for the South African market but refused to release it to the UK, though this policy may be about to change.
