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.

The SsangYong Korando pairs bold, modern styling with a surprisingly roomy and practical cabin, so it looks confident at the lights and handles the daily grind without fuss. It swaps flashy badges for honest value, offering a composed ride, useful equipment and wallet-friendly running that make it an appealing pick for buyers who'd rather spend on weekends than on extravagant finance packages.
