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.

Subaru Crosstrek

The Subaru Crosstrek is a compact, go-anywhere crossover that blends rugged good looks with Subaru's familiar all-wheel-drive confidence, so it feels equally at home on backroads and in the supermarket car park. It delivers practical, reliable transport with a comfy ride and sensible features — not the flashiest cabin, but great for buyers who prefer substance over sparkle.
