While not as funky or quite as fashionable as other city cars like the Fiat 500, the second-generation Jazz is neat looking, good to drive and dirt cheap to own. Moreover, it’s roomier, quicker and more civilised than its still popular predecessor. Despite its diminutive size, it’s also surprisingly practical thanks to its ingenious ‘magic’ seats that lift, flip and fold for ultimate versatility. And that high roofline means even rear seat passengers won’t feel cramped.
The Mk2 Jazz went on sale here in 2008 with the choice of either a 1.2 or 1.4-litre petrol engine.
