Why would I care?

My wife's mother is just buying her second Jazz, the first prompted by this one. My mum wants one too.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. In fact, we take delivery of a new one shortly.
What are you likely to buy next?
A Honda Jazz! In the Which? car survey this year, the top supermini was the Jazz and second was the Jazz hybrid. Nothing else is anywhere near as good, even this long after it was introduced.

A couple of recalls but no faults or failures.

Enormous boot for its size, magic seats and flat when seats folded.

The magic seats are the stand-out, but the size of the boot is a constant source of surprise.
