New car shopping.
The Peugeot 106 is faltering. We’re considering replacing it with one of the following cars (in order of preference):
- Honda Jazz
- Toyota Yaris
- Skoda Fabia
- Nissan Micra
- Hyundai Getz
- Fiat Panda
Why the Jazz? June’s What Car (UK) magazine contained the results of the annual JD Power Customer Satisfaction Index survey. The Jazz came first. Out of all types of car. Not bad for a supermini.
We’re keen on it because it’s a roomy small car. I like the 106’s size - parking is easier for a start - but interior space is limited. The Jazz has the largest boot in its class, and has innovative seats that fold up as well as down, creating more vertical or horizontal space as required.
The downside? The price. They’re popular little cars, it seems, and finding an SE model (with air conditioning) within our budget of around £7000 will be a challenge.
