100. SUZUKI JIMNY

IN almost every way you can think of, the current Suzuki Jimny – which has been on sale since 1997 – trails behind supermini-based SUVS by a country mile. It’s cramped, noisy, short of safety equipment and comically bad to drive by modern standards.

However, if you need what is arguably the most capable small off-roader on sale – not to mention a cheap and incredibly reliable one – and care not for creature comforts, the Jimny is worth a look.
