As Swarfega says, if you can go a bit higher go for for the Jazz's bigger sister, the Honda Civic
An extremely sexy car IMO.
That's a five door model by the way. And with more gadgets and clever things than a car ought to have. Very sexy inside too, and the magic back seats that recline like those in a cinema will even allow you to carry two adult size bicycles at the back.

Not as practical though:

"The back seats fold flat to make room for a rather magnificent 845 litres of loading space, which gives it an impressive 285 litres more storage than the larger Honda Civic"
So, smaller for whipping round town, yet more space for luggage and family.

It may loook nice but the view to the rear is shite and apparently it has a few more mechanical problems than a typical honda.
Yes she is

Anyway, while I plot my revenge on bees....................
I saw one in the pub car park tonight and it is indeed a very nice car. I was asking the driver what he thought and he seemed quite impressed. He had his back seats folded down and there was loads of room!
However, Lemon Eddy's link does say
I'd need remote locking and an alarm.

It's only the S model that doesn't have that, the SE and SE-Sport have remote locking

Oh, that's good news.
Another thing, do the back seats have three shoulder belts (as opposed to a middle lap belt that some cars have?).There's one here - looks ok but hasn't got a cd player.......

Ebay can be quite good. I guess if you don't inspect the cars you're asking for trouble.

My sister had a 2001 Golf and its manual box spat the dummy at 40k miles, which was a bit surprising.
My mum recently got herself a nice 1.6l S reg Golf for about £2,400. Does it have to be new?
Hmmm....
Sounds to me like Moomoo needs something like a Zafira (medium mpv) or a Meriva (smaller mpv). Up to a 2ltr or 1.8 engine respectively....
Or you can get a Focus mpv like version.....I forget what they call it . Would get a good part ex too with the Vauxhalls.

Oh, I wasn't going to get a new car! Just new to me.
Jayen, I do like the look of the Focus but people say Fords are a bit crap which puts me off.
And after everyone has been so helpful, I may have to put the whole thing on hold anyway as part of my bedroom ceiling looks like it's about to collapse so I may need to spend the money on roofing repairs / plasterers instead anyway.
