I may???  have resolved the problem with ankle pain driving the CVT so one of the reasons for changing back to a manual may??? have gone. Early days though.

just like Mrs Violet Bucket on keeping up appearances

I think you'll find her name is Hyacinth !

OOOPS  Violet was Hyacinths sister,  but you can just as well have a bucket of violets or hyacinths  - and anyway most flowers look the same to me.

Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

My "fit" is that I'm 21st, over 6ft tall and have size 13  feet.
Not fit at all really
What I really do like about the MK3 is that its much easier to get in and out of compared to the MK2

I bet your a Policeman ? ;D

I went to my local Honda dealer yesterday and sat in a manual and it was too painful ,because of my screwed up leg, to use a clutch pedal.
I will have to go for another CVT and try and get the best deal possible.
One dealer is offering 0% credit but how that compares to the £750 deal I don't know

The answer to your problem is quite simple, do as I do which is drive my auto cars using my left foot instead of my right

My first Jazz I had was a manual but after a ankle injury my next 2 had to be CVT,s.
I'm thinking of buying the MK3 and find that the position and lightness of the clutch pedal much better than previous models. Sitting in a new Jazz I feel that I should be able to drive a manual again.
Dare I go back to a manual after 8 years.
Also I'm finding that my ankle is painful driving the CVT and I'm wondering if keeping the ankle moving by using the clutch pedal could be better for it.
Decisions Decisions
First of all, sorry for my English...
Now you feel the new Jazz clutch pedal very light and easy to be operated, but usually clutches becomes heavier following their wear. So you could find problems when the car will pass some years and miles.
And don't be worried about "not using" your left leg when you drive: Americans love AT, so their right legs should be bigger than left ones so the right works and the left not... After a ten minutes  walk you'll be OK.

I wish it was that simple
I may have resolved the problem with my ankle by sitting a bit further to the right on the seat. As this seems to work on my Mk2 I cant see me changing
