Fiat Tipo Limousine

The Fiat Tipo sedan is a practical, no-nonsense family saloon that focuses on roomy, usable space and comfortable everyday driving rather than flashy pretence. It won't set pulses racing, but its sensible packaging, economical running costs and honest charm make it a smart pick for buyers who prefer substance over style.

Mazda MX-5 Roadster

The Mazda MX-5 is a featherweight, open-top sports car that turns ordinary roads into a grin-inducing playground thanks to razor-sharp steering and an engaging, tactile gearbox. It won’t swallow the weekly shopping or ski bags, but for anyone after pure driving fun and sun-on-your-face weekends, few cars match its sheer charm and value.
