Honda CVTs are incredibly reliable and fuel efficient. They put the CVT 'box in the Jazz and also the car that I've got: a Honda Insight. These are petrol/electric hybrids and my Insight will do 60+mpg
everywhere - including around town. 70mpg on a long, gentle run, and 50mpg if you're clumsy as hell. And £10 p.a. road tax. And Honda always come first in the Reliability Index.
The Jazz IMA CVT starts at about £7k, but £5k or £6k will
get you into a Honda Insight, which is actually a better, bigger, more comfortable and more 'grown up' car to drive. The HE and HX versions are nicely kitted out with leather, sat.nav., cruise control, auto wipers, auto lights, voice recognition, integrated bluetooth, etc. It's also quite distinctive, as there are only 9,000 of them in the UK. It's my only sensible car...
Maybe worth a look?
