Practical, nimble, and fun to drive. For rather small drivers up to 1.75 m there's plenty of space even on the back seat. Useful driver-assist systems, and Android Auto works well. Very economical in summer. In winter a lot of energy is used in the first five minutes to bring the battery up to 20°C, which makes consumption on short winter trips very high.

Aston Martin DBX

With the DBX, Aston Martin has wrapped its trademark sports-car drama into a high-riding package that looks like it could sprint off the driveway and into a gala, while the cabin pampers occupants with handcrafted leather and theatrical attention to detail. Behind the wheel it feels like a grand tourer that learned how to tackle country roads, serving up surprising agility for such a stately presence and keeping rivals honest with its rarefied blend of performance and luxury.

VS
Choosing between the Renault 5 (R5) and the Renault 4 (R4) is a clash between two French icons: the R4’s rugged simplicity and practical load space versus the R5’s sharper styling, livelier driving feel and more modern features. If you want tough, no‑nonsense utility, lean to the R4; if you prefer …
Alpine A290
Renault R5
VS
The Alpine A290 is the sharpened, slightly posher take on the same small‑car bones — think keener handling, a firmer chassis and a price that winks “premium.” The Renault 5, by contrast, is the cheeky everyday charmer: more affordable, practical and easygoing, so if you want smiles without a second …
