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.

The Vitara is powerful, light and practical, with a 4-cylinder engine; flaws: plastic upper door trim and a less modern appearance.

De Vitara voelt aan alle kanten royaler aan dan de TYC. Geeft duidelijk meer zicht rondom de auto. De TYC is zeker in de bebouwde kom superzuinig. Het rijden met de Vitara geeft het gevoel in een grotere auto te rijden dan de TYC.
