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.

Mercedes EQT

The Mercedes EQT is Mercedes‑Benz’s compact electric people carrier that grafts the brand’s usual refinement onto a practical, family‑friendly van body. It makes school runs feel a little more upscale — quietly electric, sensibly packaged and unexpectedly pleasant to live with, especially if you like your practicality with a touch of luxury.
