  • Jazz or Berlingo? 27 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    I can get the Berlingo XTR for not much more than the Jazz - although Honda do the full scrappage deal, whereas (and this might just be my local dealer) Citroen seem very reluctant to offer scrappage - they claim their "discounts" more than compensate for this - but leave me with the issue of selling my old car. I don't like the idea of not having a spare wheel - although in 12 years of the Polo I've only ever had one puncture - and I didn't know about that until I went for a service. I'm also concened about visibility - when I first got the Polo I had several near-misses on roundabouts with cars hiding behind the thick door pillars.
