The MG4 seems more versatile to me than the Dolphin, which relies mainly on design. The MG4 has proven itself and remains an excellent used option with low mileage.

I tried it today and found the car genuinely pleasant and comfortable to drive.

Skoda Octavia Limousine

The Skoda Octavia Limousine blends space and sensible charm into a calm, grown-up package that feels smarter than its modest badge suggests. Practical, comfortable and quietly clever, it's the sort of car that makes everyday driving feel noticeably less mundane and keeps both your wallet and patience intact.
