Buying a new small car – what would you recommend?
I have shortlisted three which meet my needs (5000 miles p.a. mainly local/urban).
Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 125 Titanium 5dr Hatchback
Honda Jazz 1.4 i-VTEC EXL 5dr Hatchback
VW Polo 1.4 Match Edition 5dr Hatchback
Which would you recommend? Is the long list of 'be aware of' in your review of the Polo a reason not to buy the Polo?
Thank you

The Fiesta by a long way. Great to drive. if you want a more practical car that isn't fun to drive, then the Jazz. Don't touch a Polo 1.4. Lousy engine. If you want a Polo it has to be the 1.2TSI 105.
