Title: Moving from a Mk1 Jazz
Post by: SpookyGal on May 21, 2026, 06:05:18 PM

My Mk1 got written off. Gutted and very sad.

Sadly, my brother also passed away and I will inherit so looking to possibly upgrade to a Mk2 or 3. He would want me to get a better Jazz as he knew how much I loved my one.

What issues are there with a Mk2 and why would it be better than a Mk3?

Hi SpookyGal,

Just to say that I read your post in the mk1 board, and I am really sorry for your loss, and for the ordeal you went through. As you said in your other post, it's awful that the carelessness of another driver has resulted in upending your life in such a way.

Others are probably better placed to comment in terms of comparison between Jazz generations, as I only just got my mk2, but I would advise that you test them both and see what you personally prefer. Have a good test drive, if you can, to see how the car handles, how you get along with it, what you like and what you dislike.

There are a few posts in the forum that might be helpful too, e.g. these ones:

(You can see how much is down to personal preference, looking at the replies!)

Let us know what your thoughts are, and what you end up buying! :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I lose the courtesy car next Tuesday. I have another courtesy car booked for the time of the funeral. I can't afford to have a car for a few weeks.

Thank you for all the links. I will distract my insomnia with some Jazz reading 😃
I certainly will come back and let you all know which one I choose, but I am sure I will have a lot of questions. Thank you.
