The Space Star didn’t retain its crown this year but still got a very respectable score. A nicely sorted engine and gearbox mean it’s nippy when you need to get past slower traffic but you can use 5th gear when towing at speeds as low as 50mph.
A short rear overhang helps promote stability and there’s a 75kg noseweight limit. The Space Star is a pretty good load carrier too, and a fine car for those with trailer tents and low-weight caravans.
