Jazz/Fit 1.5 Vtech - tyre tread
I drive circa 30k a year private miles and have run a Honda Jazz for the last 2 years which I now feel I have wrung the most out of and I'm due a change. (Laugh if you liek but it's a brilliant bit of kit with more interior space than the A4 my wife drives and has averaged over 50 mpg in 60K miles!)

I was thinking of buying a mid size diesel (Passat/Avensis/Octavia) but recently heard about the Jazz being sold in other countries with a 1.5 Vtech rather than the 83ps 1.4 fitted here.

I can't find any info on the car let alone find one for sale. Can anyone help?

Jazz/Fit 1.5 Vtech - Avant
I think HJ knows something about Swedish hotel rooms (today's Telegraph column and separate thread) - maybe the comparison of driving experience was actually a compliment?

My wife would have loved a bigger-engined Jazz - we changed her Jazz for a 2-litre Civic for the extra acceleration, but it's bigger than she needs.

I assumed that anything bigger wouldn't fit (that word again) under the sloping bonnet. But since it does in Malaysia, perhaps the press could encourage Honda to bring it to the UK.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
