What are your thoughts on the suitability of this car for a young female student. Are there any serious negatives with this model!

good as gold. Tyres will cost a little more due to those ugly rims but you could always sell them and put standard ones back on, they will make it ride nicer too.
I have heard that the timing chains in these engines are susceptible to stretching. Not an issue at such a low milage. I tried to get some front hubs for one of those and the wrecker said they sell pretty quick, perhaps the wheel bearings are not as good, they are the sealed type.
Id say go for it.

Just drove one today. Fantastic little car, drives well, CVT works a treat (although, I suspect the one you are looking at is a standard auto), nice interior, but, a lot of road noise coming from the rear of the car, and I'm not sure how good the Neo engine is (in some models).

For that money I am positive that Jazz will be able to find you a VW or Fiat that will be far superior and better buying.

1500 cc! Might be worth a second look, I've only come across 18oo and the 2 liter models. But I arn't an expert. Drove a dozen of them between Christchurch and Picton for rental car operators. They were meant to fill the gap in Nissan when the Bluebirds were phased out.Average to drive but a bit tight for large people, seat could have had an extra notch back. Reliable motors.

I think they are a boring sh*tbox and even though it's done low kms I think it's over-priced considering what little features they actually have. $8k should be buying you something a few years newer with at least side air bags, stability control, brake assist and EBD etc etc.
