Small and sensible, the Honda Jazz is a masterclass in clever packaging — airy rear seats, Magic Seat flexibility and effortless economy make it the practical everyman’s champion, even if it lacks SUV swagger.

The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.

Mercedes Vito Transporter

The Mercedes Vito Transporter is a supremely practical workhorse that blends Mercedes refinement with van-like utility, making long days on the road feel surprisingly civilized. With a cleverly thought-out interior and a drive that won’t wear you out, the Vito is the ideal choice for businesses that want capability without sacrificing comfort — and yes, it still looks sharper than most vans at a client meeting.
