Fiat Qubo

The Fiat Qubo is a compact, boxy people carrier that makes daily chores feel less like a battle, with a surprisingly roomy interior and clever sliding doors that make loading kids or shopping embarrassingly simple. It’s not trying to be a sports car — instead it’s a sensible, easy-to-park city partner that rewards practicality with low running costs and a cheery Italian twinkle.

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.
