It’s our second Tucson — a diesel manual and a petrol automatic. I can only confirm that our next one in 2027 will be 99.9% a Tucson again. Gorgeous, pleasant, economical and sporty. Top choice.

Mitsubishi Colt

The Mitsubishi Colt is a compact city hatch that blends sensible practicality with cheeky, no-nonsense styling, making it a confident companion for tight streets and daily errands. It may not be a playground for driving purists, but its easy-to-live-with manners, modest running costs and surprisingly roomy cabin make it a smart, sensible pick for urban buyers who value reliability over showmanship.
