Car Czech up

You extol the virtues of the i10, i20 and i30 regularly in your column. I bought a new Honda Jazz in 2007 after reading your comments on it but I would now like something a little less staid. Would the i30 be a good choice? It seems to have a bit more oomph and certainly a lot more kit. There seem to be some good deals around at the moment starting at £8,999 for a pre reg. 1.4 Comfort and £10,500 for the 1.6 diesel. For someone who does about 12,000 miles per year which would be the better buy, the 1.4 Petrol Comfort or the 1.6Diesel? There are three adults and 2 greyhound sized dogs when we go on holiday. The Jazz just about copes space wise.

Excellent deals for a very good car. They only opened the Czech Republic factory in November last year and cannot cut production because of promises made, so must keep building the cars and selling them for whatever they can get. 5-year warranty. All 1.4s and 1.6s chain cam. Nicely made at the newest car factory in the world. Petrol better than diesel for 12k miles a year.
