Toyota Mirai

The Toyota Mirai arrives as a bold, futuristic saloon that turns heads with sleek, almost sci‑fi styling and a cabin that feels more lounge than cockpit. It trades petrol fuss for a whisper‑quiet hydrogen setup that delivers composed, effortless progress and makes long-distance cruising a relaxed pleasure — a compelling choice if you want cutting-edge eco tech without sacrificing comfort.

Great car, I switched from a Lexus NX300h F-Sport, and in terms of comfort the Mirai wins.

VW Touareg

Volkswagen Touareg wraps a grown-up presence in a classy, well-appointed cabin that feels more like a premium saloon than an SUV. It glides with quiet composure, devours long journeys and tucks away clever tech that makes life easier whether you’re stuck in town or nipping off the beaten track.

Brilliant car. Had 3 since 2005. Can't fault them. Would have purchased another, but after visiting local dealership, vehicle was being used by Sales Manager and it was in a d disgraceful condition. So purchased BME X6

Impeccable road-holding, especially if you choose optional extras like air suspension, active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering. Fast, quiet and comfortable.

I've been driving a Touareg 3.0 TDI with 286 PS, model year 2019, for 5 years.
So far no problems. Zero repairs.
Air suspension is top.
Driving feel is great.
Fuel consumption is also excellent for a vehicle of this weight (7.5 liters on average).
In my opinion the car is highly recommendable. That's why 5 stars!
