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.

Volvo S90

The Volvo S90 is a composed, elegant luxury sedan that dresses Scandinavian restraint in a quietly imposing package. It prioritises serene highway manners and a calm, tech‑savvy cabin, making it a car that suggests you deserve the nicer things in life without ever raising its voice.
