Oddly up to that point it was cheapest car we ever owned rarely needed any attention and used no more petrol than the economical jazz I was persuaded would be cheaper to run did.
Sadly Jeremy the Jazz has been a pretty bad money pit one thing after another gone wrong and we are now selling it hopefully so we can cut our loses and the bus will be my new mode of transport.
