Dropped my car off at Great Western Honda, in Dunfermline, for some recall work and they gave me a brand new Jazz SE 1.3iVTEC manual, with less than 200 miles on the clock, as my courtesy car. I hadn't seen a 67 plate so far, and now I am driving one.
I must say that the 10 mile drive home was flawless. I brought it back along the country roads and found it incredibly smooth and the 6 speed box very flexible.
I'll report more when I return it, and have had a better chance to drive it.
