I've had the 225 Hybrid GT for two years. Super car if you have, say, solar panels on the roof and charge from a socket — with a 10–15 km commute you drive on electricity for next to nothing. On the motorway at 140 km/h it uses about 6.0–6.3 l/100 km, superb comfort and quietness — and that stylish look!!!

Renault Kangoo

The Renault Kangoo is the pragmatic chameleon of small vans, marrying van-like practicality with carlike comfort and a cheerful, friendly face that suits both family runs and workday hauls. It's sensible, versatile and annoyingly useful — easy to live with, cheap to run and clever where it counts, so you get more space and fewer compromises than the price suggests.
