What you end up going for is largely dependent on how much you’re willing to spend and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to mod cons and comfort. If you want to indulge yourself, why not grab a high-end SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-size sedan? Alternatively, if you’re just after a car to get from A to B as economically as possible, stick with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).
