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.

The Peugeot 508 SW dresses up as a sleek estate, blending Parisian flair with usable loadspace so you don't have to choose between style and weekend practicality. Inside it's a driver-focused cabin with quality materials and clever packaging that makes it a sensible, slightly mischievous choice for buyers who want an executive feel without the buttoned-up seriousness.
