I used to have a petrol Civic and recently had the chance to drive the Civic hybrid. What a difference! Of course you’ve got to buy it! It’s a car that puts a big grin on your face behind the wheel. Sporty, eye-catching design.

Nissan Primastar Bus

The Nissan Primastar is a sensible people-mover that puts practicality and flexible seating ahead of flash, making it the go-to for tradespeople, shuttle duties or large families who need space without fuss. It’s unpretentious on the road and easy to live with — not the car to win style points, but the one that earns them every time you need to load up and go.
