Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.

Casalini 550

The Casalini 550 is a compact city runabout that packs surprising practicality into a tiny footprint, making parking a breeze and daily errands almost enjoyable. It won't wow on long highway blasts, but for shopping trips and short commutes it's a clever, affordable alternative to a full-size car — proof that you don't need a giant wallet to get where you need to go.
