This one feels purpose-built. It’s not just another crossover—it has character. It feels planted on highways and manages gravel roads without issue. It’s a confident driver, especially when cornering at moderate speeds. Wind noise could be better suppressed, but the interior remains solid and cleanly designed. It's clearly a vehicle built with intention and attention to detail.
The Opel Astra is an honest compact. It’s nimble, parks easily, and has a nicely balanced chassis for casual spirited driving. I’ve done regular servicing and it hasn’t given me issues. Not fast, not flashy, but very dependable for daily life.
The Skoda Octavia blends practicality with just enough style to keep things interesting. The space inside is excellent, especially for a sedan. It handles corners with confidence and has been cheap to maintain. The infotainment isn’t the flashiest, but everything works smoothly. I’ve driven it across emirates multiple times and it still feels composed and dependable.
As someone who commutes 100+ km daily, this car had to prove itself early — and it did. Brakes are responsive and predictable, which matters a lot in stop-start traffic. Steering is light but not loose — I feel in control at all times. It’s not a sports car, but it doesn’t need to be.
A good mix of power and practicality. You don’t get top-tier refinement, but everything works reliably. It’s a workhorse that’s also quite easy on the eyes. Servicing is fast and affordable too.
Suzuki SX4 is a compact wonder. It fits into any parking spot, sips fuel, and drives light and easy. I got it for short commutes and it’s been more than adequate. It’s basic inside, but everything works and that’s all I need.
The cabin layout makes everything feel intuitive. I never had to dig through the manual. It's not the quickest car off the line, but it makes up for that with comfort and practicality. It's not the quickest car off the line, but it makes up for that with comfort and practicality.
Plenty of room for passengers and cargo. The third row is comfortable for kids. Handling is a bit boat-like but still manageable. The styling has aged well, and resale seems promising.
For a car I initially overlooked, this model really grew on me after the first few weeks. The suspension leans a bit on the stiff side, which actually makes it feel more in control when cornering. It’s clearly designed for practical use, but it doesn’t feel cheap.
Feels solid, drives even better. It's got a well-insulated cabin that blocks out most noise, and the suspension smooths out speed bumps impressively well. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.

Driving the 2014 Hyundai Sonata has been smooth sailing. The highway stability and quietness are better than I expected. My only complaint is the outdated infotainment, but that’s manageable. It’s a car built for function, not flash.
