We have a 2004 CVT auto Honda Jazz, the tardis description is bang on and as stated the magic seats are great, the CVT box is incredible.
Flip side, the steering is wooden/dead, wind noise at speed is high and it has had more faults than any other car that I have ever bought, is is a great practical car in use though.
If you love throwing the car around it will wear the front tyres very unevenly but only if you drive like a loony.
