Ideal A/B-class car. It has the price of a good A-class but the size and presence of a B-segment car. The annoying thing is that only a bike rack is allowed on the towbar (on my i10 from 2020 — the 2nd generation already after 2015). I’m still waiting for an iX10 version: a bit taller but otherwise the same.

Nissan Interstar

The Nissan Interstar is a sensible, no-nonsense panel van that puts practicality front and center, with a cavernous load area and a durable feel built for daily work. It drives with surprising composure for its size, keeps running costs modest, and feels like the kind of professional tool that prefers reliable service over flashy showboating.
