My 40-year-old unmarried daughter has had a VW Golf CL since new in 1994. The car lives in a heated garage and has done approx 25 thousand miles. In spite of regular servicing apparently the gear change has become stiff and my daughter would prefer a car that is automatic and has A/C. She is keen to buy a VW Beetle but I would value your advice as to whether this would be a sensible purchase in view of the small mileage she does around London with occasional trips further a field. Her garage is just big enough for the VW Golf and so any other car you consider worth her trying must be about the same size. How would you rate a Honda Jazz?
