We advocate for a careful review of your driving habits before you commit to a fuel type. Do your driving habits lean more towards city streets or open roads and motorways? What is the total distance you drive in a typical week?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Remember that in some places, high-emission diesel engines are not allowed in urban areas.

The Mercedes SLK280 only exists in the cabriolet body type in the UK. Cabrios and convertibles are a great way to add another dimension to the driving experience. Today, most cabrios can be driven year-round as the majority of models have really good hoods and weather gear. Beware that convertibles are typically heavier than normal cars.
