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 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.
