Mazda CX-3
From £19,000+ new
Based on the Mazda 2 and a strong contender against the Nissan Juke, this compact SUV boasts sporty appeal whilst being the ideal car for families. If you opt for the 148bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine, then you’ll be driving one of the few small SUVs with four-wheel drive on the market.
Although Mazda have currently ceased production of the CX-3, you can buy a used Mazda CX-3 from one of our dealerships. The halt on production is unlikely to last long, with rumours of an updated mild hybrid CX-3 coming onto the market in the future.
Lotus Elise
From £39,000+ new
Around 25 years ago, the first Lotus Elise came onto the market, and it’s maintained its classic appeal ever since. Weighing only 900kg, it’s incredibly lightweight and svelte, having been built for turning corners and manoeuvring over bumps with great composure.
The entry-level Elise Sport is more than capable, with a 1.6-litre engine producing 134bhp. However, if you’re looking for something with a little more ‘oomph’, then the Sport 220 features a 217bhp 1.8-litre engine and the Cup 250 a 243bhp 1.8-litre engine.
As the renowned engineer Colin Chapman once said about race-car design, “simplify, then add lightness.” That’s what the Elise is all about.

Porsche 911
From £82,700+ new

Inside the car, two-zone automatic climate control, an optional Burmester High-End Surround Sound System and virtual bird’s eye view for assisted parking add to the luxury appeal. The introduction of a full-width light bar on the rear of the 992 makes it even more distinctive.

From £252,000+ new
As Rolls-Royce’s first all-terrain SUV, the Cullinan is more than just the exemplar of luxury — it’s the first of its kind. Grand in size and performance, the Cullinan isn’t the most efficient of cars, but it certainly packs some impressive features. With a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine, it delivers 563bhp and 850Nm of torque — despite its 2.6-tonne weight. It also features unique vertical taillights that add to its unique appeal.
The overstated luxury continues with the inclusion of a Bespoke Viewing Suite — a hidden compartment in the luggage boot that deploys two leather seats and a cocktail table for enjoying views.
