We're considering buying a new car and will a small family on the horizon I'm wondering between the b-max or jazz. Has anyone got either of these? Do they work well with buggy/shopping/child seats?
Anything to help me decide between the two would be soo helpful

My Honda Jazz (58 reg) has a massive boot for its size. I can get my old-style Uppababy buggy in the boot by popping a wheel off the buggy (5 seconds work). The uppababy is huge, so you’ll get most buggies in the boot. The magic seats are a great idea but with two isofix car seats semi-permanently installed they don’t get much use.

It’s easy to drive but I don’t like the spotty gear box. It’s a personal preference thing, so make sure you test drive.

I loved the BMax to drive, and the slidey doors... but it's just so small! Honda Jazz is a TARDIS in comparison, particularly re boot space.
If you have more than one child, I would say head over heart, and go jazz.

Thanks both of you :)
I think I'm swaying towards the Jazz. Went to see a b-max and it felt small inside for an otherwise big car (to me!)

I love my jazz. Have had 5 since they were first released.

I have two children - 10 and 14yrs.... and got my first when l was pregnant in 2002.

I eventually got a top box when ds2 came along for holidays.

I love the jazz, loads of space and easy to drive and park.

I love my jazz, got an automatic and it’s easy to drive. And yes yes to it being a tardis! My pushchair fits in the boot no problem
