HONDA ZRV — snappy, fast, perfect in every way, whisper-quiet, maximum comfort, extraordinary quality and price. For me: 5 stars.

Suzuki Vitara

The Vitara is a city-smart SUV with a cheeky streak of off-road promise, perfect for drivers who want practicality without pretense. It’s honest, easy to live with and surprisingly likeable, a sensible companion for everyday adventures and weekend escapes.

A very pleasant car for an affordable price. The only downside is poorly soundproofed doors and windows.
