So it turns out the Jazz has magic seats? Sorry everyone, looks like it’s even more practical than I first realised! In that case, is it THE most practical small hatch/crossover in this class?

I have a Crosstar. Overall, very good. The presenter failed to mention the cars great advantage, which is both rear seat bases can be lifted independently and locked against the back squab. This gives a quite large “bucket” space, either on one side, or right across the rear floor. Really useful for soft luggage, large shopping bags etc, and if just two people touring. I can’t get 60 mpg, though. On a run from Salisbury to Edinburgh, via the Peak District and the Dales, and the Cheviots on the return leg, we averaged 54.1 mpg in a loaded car. Otherwise, I get 55.8 mixed driving. One last point: if not leasing, I would uprate the suspension. Quite soggy when pushed.

I drive the Crosstar and average 25k per annum, I do majority of motorway miles for business and as I have kept receipts and log my mileage for work I have been averaging 58mpg which I think is great as i'm not slow. At 5'9 tall and not petite I find it reasonable comfortable, i've long legs and could do with another 2 inches of leg room but overall it does the job. Also after avoiding the CarPlay thingy for last 2 years I have in the last few months got my head around it and it is brilliant, from listening to my audio books to alternative navigation options. Space, its a tardis, I always flip up the seat behind me and hang my clothes for the working week away, I have to say I love it - young 53 year old ;-)

Liked your review which is really gives a true picture of the Crosstar having owned one now for 2 years and love it. At first, I had to drive it around for joyrides as I thought the fuel gauge was not working. Absolutely marvelous on petrol. In fact love everything about it. I have only had Hondas since 1979 and appart from the Aerodeck 2.0, this Crosstar has to be up there somewhere in the top.

It does not have a cvt gear box, in fact it does not have a gear box at all. So not sure where you got the jerky gear box from. I had one a year now, best car i ever owned. Easy to drive, but i must admit it does scream when you put your foot down. On the infotainment , you can customise big tiles and bottom tiles , so you can have the ones you use most close to hand . MPG, if i hypermile to work at 1am and no traffic on a 22 mile journey going around 27mph and feathering the throttle to kick in EV mode and using regen on hills and costing in drive, i have got 97MPH . On the way home rush hour and normal driving around 63MPH

Exactly. It's easy to get really amazing economy out of this car. She completely misses the fact that the car is ALWAYS running in electric motor mode. She also glossed over the drive assist modes, such as traffic jam assist, incredible lane keeping driving at motorway speeds, speed sign recognition with speed limit linked to that mode if activated. What's more the lane departure warning can be customised to be either intrusive or not depending on the settings chosen. Frankly, it's an amazing little car, and incredibly roomy for the category.

The Crosstar is a much nicer looking car than the standard Jazz. I would buy one before the standard one any day. On the standard EX you get faux leather dashboard and a heated steering wheel which you don’t get on the Crosstar. I live in Dublin and the Crosstar has only been introduced in the last couple of weeks. I imagine we will see a lot of them on the roads more so than the standard Jazz of which there are very few.

"On the standard EX you get faux leather dashboard and a heated steering wheel which you don’t get on the Crosstar." That's not all you don't get on the Crosstar when compared to the EX, Dave. The EX has also blind spot information and cross traffic monitor, two things I really value. Next to that you save almost £ 2k. But... for that money you get some Tupperware around, a louder stereo, a bit higher consumption and a bit smaller boot. 🤗
