    Another under rated car of that size would be the Skoda Fabia.

    Just curious is the Honda Jazz boot size decent? I'm on the hunt for a new car later this yr but looking for something that is compact enough for easy parking and manoeuvring but has decent boot space and practicality..also will be a long term purchase so reliability/running costs important too. Thinking a 4-6 yr old Leon/Civic/Mazda 3/Volvo V40 but needs to be an auto

    We had a 57 plate Jazz ... the boot was cavernous for such a small car. I'd imagine that the newer model(s) boot is equally as good.

    While for the most part they're fine, some care still needs to be exercised - my Uncle had a Superb which suffered the common oil pump drive failure known to the PD engines. 

    One new engine later, and it was fine - but his wallet wasn't!

    In addition, as a BMW owner - do not get a BMW if you're worried about running costs. 
    There's absolutely nothing more ruinous than a 10+ year old BMW, and I should know - I have 2 outside, and while I enjoy DIY maintenance anyone else would find it incredibly irritating.
