The Subaru Forester is a practical all-rounder that quietly does everything right, with roomy comfort, excellent visibility and a real fondness for weekend adventures off the beaten path. It won't set your pulse racing like a sports car, but for buyers who prize reliability, safety and sensible charm, it's a brilliantly steady companion with a cheeky streak.

The Suzuki S-Cross is a neatly packaged crossover that puts everyday practicality ahead of showy theatrics, offering a comfortable cabin and predictable handling that suit family life and weekend errands alike. It’s not a headline-grabber, but its sensible packaging, low-key charm and reputation for reliability make it a shrewd choice for buyers who prefer smart value over flash.
