Greetings everybody!
My previous car was a 2002 Golf 1.4 and I was looking for something as small and spacious as it, but more lasting/reliable and the Jazz was the obvious option.
It's been about a month since I got my 2010 Jazz 1.4 EX(clusive), UK-made/assembled with 66000 KMs (41000 Miles), and so far so good.
I have a few gripes but are not deal breakers:
- The clutch I still need some practice, it engages a bit abruptly and is strong.
- The steering can be a bit stiff for motorway but it seems to be normal for its age as I've seen in another thread.
- The brakes are a bit all or nothing but might be the pads that need some break-in for not being much used or perhaps just being old.
- The heater to actually warm the interior seems to need to be set to a rather high temperature - at least 26ºC - even though I'm a cold person.
But so far I'm loving it and I was lucky to find the exact model year I was looking for, with a rather low mileage. (Latest possible 1.4 pre-facelift.)
