Mazda MX-5 Roadster

The Mazda MX-5 is a featherweight, open-top sports car that turns ordinary roads into a grin-inducing playground thanks to razor-sharp steering and an engaging, tactile gearbox. It won’t swallow the weekly shopping or ski bags, but for anyone after pure driving fun and sun-on-your-face weekends, few cars match its sheer charm and value.

Fiat Doblò

The Fiat Doblò is Fiat’s pragmatic workhorse that doubles as a family companion—deceptively roomy, easy to live with and built to swallow awkward loads without drama. It won’t win style prizes, but its sensible packaging, no-nonsense character and low-stress ownership make it a very practical choice for buyers who prefer usefulness over flash.
