SUPERMINI THAT HANDLES SPACE BETTER THAN NASA

A Jazz may not be big but it is very, very clever, especially on the inside

- SAM PHILLIPS

When it comes to superminis, you're spoilt for choice: some are engaging and fun to drive, while others are well built and major on refinement. But there's one standout supermini that delivers on practicality and space like no other - and it's a hard one to turn down now that prices have tumbled to a very accessible £4000. Forget the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and Seat Ibiza: for zipping around a city, you should consider a Mk3 Honda Jazz.

What makes the Jazz so appealing, other than its price, is its clever packaging. The Mk3 - sold in the UK from 2015-2020 - has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, which allowed Honda to increase the volume of the entire cabin. Slide into the back of a Mk3 Jazz and you'll be astounded by how much head and leg room there is, even if you're tall. Two adults can sit comfortably in the back and they won't grumble if you need to add a third person for a short journey.
