We’ve a bigger car for normal use but still have our old Honda Jazz, which I call the “dirty car”. Bike rack always on the roof and boot full of mud from dog walks. However it’s starting to fall apart so am thinking about replacing it.
Needs: space on the roof for 3-4 bikes. The jazz can take 4 no problem. Often ride with our two kids so needs to happily seat four people.
Cheap: ideally a 2010- model and <£5K.
Automatic gearbox.
Another Jazz is one candidate. Also wondering about a Fabia. A friend was selling a golf estate which was interesting although I’d prefer to get a hatch nor estate purely for length reasons. The jazz has been useful when parking for riding where there isn’t a car park.
So what’s a good, practical, smallish car?
