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.

Maserati GranTurismo

The Maserati GranTurismo is a swooping Italian grand tourer that marries dramatic, museum-worthy styling with a sonorous exhaust note that insists on being noticed. It’s the kind of indulgent cruiser for buyers who want theatrical presence and a luxurious, long-distance demeanour rather than everyday practicality.
