We didn't buy an Insight but we bought a Note instead

[biggs682]

I was asked today which car I liked out of the pair and why
The armrest on the Note is better placed
The Jazz's headlights are better
The notes cruise control is nicer to use
The notes boot space and design is more suited to our needs.
The Jazz's rear seat fold flat giving a nicer flat area ( not tried a bike in yet) it's a tough choice

They are about as quite a few are OAP transport so well looked after and low mileage

Had to replace the battery today not bad as it looks like the original one so 13 years service

You say that and I am a Honda fan but this is third one that has been in the family .

The first one had a regular gearbox fault that nobody could get to the bottom of whilst the second one was made into a convertible when the fire service cut a relative out of it so I know of two that sort of died .

My Mother had three of them after a string of Polo’s. She loved the Jazz, all were completely trouble free and did big mileages as she had a place in France she used to drive to.

A lot is down to the dealership/mechanic who does the maintenance but that's the same with all cars .

@biggs682 - which variant is it and dare I ask how much please?

SWMBO has a 59-plated 1.4 EX petrol with the panoramic roof. She likes that. However, whether it passes January's MOT is debatable due to rust issues.

Sold the Jazz today via We buy any car.com , I initially compared prices with Motorway and we buy any car , motorway came up with a higher figure so listed it with them , at end of the auction agreed a price which considering the cost of the required paint repairs I thought was a fair price, agreed a collection date with the trade buyer who turned up after a couple of cancellations. A very hairy raising test drive by there representative was less than impressive he then started to haggle on the price after three rises in offers I told him it would stay in the garage rather than accept there offer so he had to get a taxi to local train station and a return ticket.
So I tried it on marketplace and had a few bites but really low ball offers so I contacted we buy any car and went to see them today, no road test required a representative walked around the car noting any damage and then made an offer which was duly accepted.
Fifteen minutes later and it's sold.

I like that. Their attempt to save a few shekels cost them a fortune in time and money.

Exactly
Doubt it will register that though
