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 Transporter

The Nissan Primastar is a no-nonsense transporter that pairs rugged practicality with a surprisingly civilized cabin, so you arrive with your tools — and your temper — intact. It may not steal glances at the lights, but its sensible layout and dependable nature make it the kind of van you’ll happily rely on day in, day out.
