The small car that makes almost anything seem possible. Like driving from the south coast to the Scottish border on a single tank of fuel.

Carrying a bike, upright, behind the front seats, thanks to the Magic Seats in the back that flip up, as well as fold flat. Or parking in that miniscule space that everyone else has had to drive past.

Thing is, we won’t take ‘No’ for an answer, or settle for ‘OK’ while ‘Brilliant’ is still out there.

Do you see a small car, or the big picture? Take a tape-measure to the Jazz, and you’ll find it’s less than 4m from nose to tail. That makes it a small car. But it also makes narrow gaps, tight turns and tiny parking spaces suddenly seem wider, straighter and easier to get into, especially with those short overhangs front and rear.

The illusion continues inside, too. Pushing the wheels right out to each corner creates plenty of room either for five people, or fold the rear seats flat and you’ll be amazed with what you can fit in. The large glass area gives the whole interior its light and spacious feel, and improves your all-round visibility into the bargain. It’s ready for whatever - and whoever - turns up today.

So, how does it feel to drive the Jazz? There's really only one way to find out, but
here are a few clues. The chassis is taut and responsive for improved road-holding and handling. The gearshift is light, firm and accurate, with a short throw for a positive, sporty feel.

And of course there's that i-DSI engine. That's what makes our job such fun: designing and building cars we'd enjoy driving ourselves. So what about passengers? Good news here, too, with the most spacious interior in its class, and ride quality from a class above. That, and the pleasure of your company in whatever you've got planned today. Who could ask for more?
