PHEV model — very pleased with the car after 2.5 years. In the summer months it runs practically on electric power alone. The large 2.5‑litre engine is surprisingly frugal, about 0.5 l/mil. Downsides are the ventilation in winter, which causes fogged windows, and that we can now only charge the battery to 80%.

It's a car that strikes an excellent balance between quality and price.

Vauxhall Combo

The Opel Combo is a hardworking and surprisingly polished small van that blends van-like practicality with car-like comfort, making it a sensible choice for families and tradespeople who need versatility without fuss. It may not grab attention on the style front, but clever packaging and a levelheaded approach mean you spend more time getting things done and less time worrying about compromise.
