As a previous owner of a manual 1998 Suzuki Vitara (two door), I was thrilled when the Duster was announced. The Bigster seems like a safer (and less adventurous) alternative to the Duster.

I find the difference between the two very minimal.
And for almost €20k more 💶 I would absolutely not choose the Tiguan.

Peugeot Partner

The Peugeot Partner is a no-nonsense workhorse that doubles as a surprisingly comfy family mover, combining clever storage solutions with an easy-to-live-in cabin. It won’t win any beauty contests, but for small businesses and active families it’s practical, economical and utterly reliable when the day gets busy.
