Honda Jazz or Nissan Note?

Honda Jazz or Nissan Note?

Hi, I am currently looking for a small family car around the €6k budget mark. I like the look of the Nissan Note and the Honda Jazz though a lot of these seem to be automatic transmission. I will be using it mostly around Dublin city/county with monthly trips down West! What do you think of these models and of automatic vs. manual?

Thanks, Dee

Hi Dee,

Automatics are fine in these cars - they're set up for economy so there's no major penalty - and if most of your driving is around town then they're ideal. Of the two we'd go for the Jazz. It's more engaging to drive and better built too.
