There are plenty of TV shows, books and films that we would consider guilty pleasures, and the same applies to cars too. We\u2019ve asked around the office and have compiled a list of the five cars that we secretly love \u2013 and bet you do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polski Fiat 126p<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the smallest car ever made, the Polski Fiat 126p looks like a toy. In fact, many tall people have confessed that the car is so small, that they had to remove the front seats and drive from the back bench (which we, of course, don\u2019t advise!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the car\u2019s small size is exactly what makes it a great little city car<\/a>. Go to Poland where the majority of the Polski Fiat 126p were manufactured and you\u2019ll probably see more Fiat 126ps than in any other place. The 126p was actually a cultural icon in communist Poland and is still seen as a bit of a cult classic. It even had several endearing nicknames, including maluch<\/em>, meaning \u201csmall one\u201d for its size, and \u2013 perhaps a little less endearing \u2013 kaszlak<\/em>, meaning \u201ccougher\u201d because of the sound of its engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live in London or any of the bigger cities across the UK, the Fiat 126p is a light car with a tiny turning circle that\u2019ll allow you to nip around smaller roundabouts. Around 3 metres long and 1.3 metres wide, you certainly won\u2019t have trouble finding a parking space in this little thing. If parking is the bane of your life, we would recommend the maluch<\/em> with only a modicum of embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land Rover Evoque Convertible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An SUV with convertible top makes \u2013 in a lot of people\u2019s minds \u2013 very little sense. Despite its bulk, this four-seater only has three doors, as most convertibles do, and the rear seats are difficult to get into when the roof\u2019s up. In addition, because of the soft top, the cargo space for the Evoque Convertible is minimal at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its Land Rover branding, you might be hard-pressed to take the Evoque Convertible off-road or onto any rough green lanes. After all, this model only has 8.5 inches of ground clearance between the car\u2019s frame and the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all this, there is something charming about the Evoque Convertible. Kitted out with Land Rover\u2019s best infotainment system, the Evoque is easy to drive \u2013 and comfortable to drive in, too. If you\u2019re looking for a car with easy handling, this is it. Just ignore the sneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
