The lucrative luxury SUV race arguably really kicked off in the early 2000's, when Volkswagen launched the Touareg and Porsche churned out the Cayenne. Since then, more and more manufacturers have joined the high-end SUV bandwagon for just how much cash it rakes in, and now, today, we can add one more manufacturer to the ever-growing list: Rolls-Royce. Not exactly the prettiest thing in the world, is it? Read on for the lowdown.

Ford caused quite the stir when it showed off its brand new Ka city car in 1996 to the public. The design was splitting opinions at the time, but the Ka grew on to be one of the most successful small cars of all time, and even hailed as a 'spiritual successor to the Mini'. Now a decade later from production ceasing, are they still worth buying as a runaround or first car?

French cars undeniably have a bit of a shoddy reputation amongst the car community; think unreliable, poor quality, cheap materials, etc. Whilst that is true for some French cars to a degree, that doesn't mean it stops the country of berets producing some absolutely legendary vehicles. What makes that even better is that these gems fall into this French car prejudice, and therefore you can pick many of them up for peanuts. Case in point: early noughties Renaultsport Clios.

Curious by the success of the outgoing Toyota Aygo of the time, VW took the decision to compete, and compete boldly. Released for the 2012 model year, the Up exclamation mark was a fresh and innovative machine from Wolfsburg, which brought unseen levels of comfort, quality and refinement for the sector. Although released in 2012, the Up's roots can actually be traced back to 2007 through a series of concepts. JOE PEPPER
