what are the excuses for not buying a Jazz? They tick every box under the sun

Not sure, I don't have one, and they are not mentioned in the list above, not quite sure what your point is.

320d touring from that list for me.

I didnt say you did, it was a general question on bad points of owning a jazz

Well start a new thread on them then, if they bother you that much.:rolleyes:

Option 2- Lexus IS220d; Personally I think they're great looking cars and offer luxury at a decent price. Good economy with that engine and more room that the Focus. Downsides; more expensive to maintain should anything go wrong and will cost more to insure. Also to get a new shape model in my budget would likely be a high-ish mileage ex-lease car.

06 plates with sub 70k are available for under well 10,000...

I'd say the Golf, but not sure if it would be big enough for kids? Depends how old they are I suppose. Could be a hassle getting a buggy in the back?

Anyway, I'm a big fan of German cars for their looks and reliability. Maybe try a VW Golf Plus, a Touran or Sharan or a Passat? Also the BMW Touring (estate) are really nice, and plenty of room in them. Audi A4 is another possibility.

You will have to try a few and see for yourself, as no one can really advise you on this

Shot yourself in the foot there :eek:... 'for their looks' ? :rolleyes: you then listed some of dullest, featureless, character-devoid lumps of metal ever to grace our roads on 4 bits of rubber. A Touran photo is available on the NHS as a cure for insomnia! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

They are still better looking than Citroens and some Fords :rolleyes:

Am I supposed to suggest an Audi R8 to a person looking for a vehicle to transport their kids around? FOOL.

a diesel bmw if it was me. The service charges are not cheap but then again, ford isnt cheap either.. last time i had a ford , the timing belt did cost 440 quid and the car never felt like a car to me although it had 4 wheels engine, electric steering etc.
Look for a japanese or a german i would say.. honda is great in reliability, though the numbers on mpg are not as exciting as german cars
