I've been driving the Symbioz Full Hybrid with the iconic trim for 3,500 km. I test-drove both cars. I think the win goes to the Symbioz. Good quality at a family-friendly price. Unfortunately the Opel is simply too expensive. Strangely, what never really gets mentioned is that the Symbioz's suspension is absolutely superb.

McLaren GT Series

The McLaren GT takes the supercar blueprint and stretches it into a grand tourer, marrying thrilling pace with genuine long-distance comfort and a cabin that’s actually liveable. If you crave weekend escape capability without surrendering driver engagement, this is the car to consider — though it does attract a fair share of admiring glances.
