Took our Accord for a service today at our nearest(French) Honda dealer and got issued an old 1.4 Jazz as a courtesy car (I really wanted a Civic Type R but they aren't that stupid!)

2005 registered ( you get the french V5 with the car as it's the law over here).

188,000 km on the clock so that's about 116,000 miles.

We went off west up the N 165 about 15 miles to get 120 litres of heating kerosene which was on offer at a big diy chain shop.

Loaded it up, back on the dual carriageway to McDonalds near the dealer for a coffee and a bun.

That old Jazz pulled like a train, scampered up the road like a startled rabbit, and didn't seem to notice 200 lb of kerosene in the boot!

Still felt tight, braked, steered and stopped like a new car, no rattles.

Trim still good, seats looked like new, just needed a bit of a valet.

If you need a neat little runabout, and you can find a good one - buy it!
