Mercedes AMG GT

It pairs ferocious performance with surprising everyday usability — a taut yet forgiving chassis and a cockpit that feels special — making sensible buyers suddenly very good at justifying indulgence.

VW Transporter Transporter

The VW Transporter is the workhorse of the modern tradesman, blending practical cleverness with a cabin that's actually pleasant to spend a long day in. It may not steal the style spotlight, but its unshowy durability, clever load solutions and easy-to-live-with character make it a sensible pick for businesses and weekend projects alike.
