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.

Suzuki Ignis

The Suzuki Ignis is a cheeky compact crossover that turns city chores into cheerful adventures, with chunky styling and a surprisingly practical cabin. It won't pretend to be a sports car, but its nimble manners, low running costs and ample personality make it an ideal pick for urban buyers who want fun without pretension.
