The finest of cars for enjoying driving of a very different kind
Golfing requires skill, commitment – and a car with enough room for your clubs. Here are five of the best.
Jaguar F-Pace
It’s big, smartly styled and has that allimportant brand image. The F-Pace is also exceptionally good to drive and will make the journey home from the club just as good as the game itself.
A big boot is a must for golfers and the F-Pace has just that. It’s also got a decent amount of room in the back, so if you’re giving fellow players a lift, it won’t be too much of a squeeze.
Honda NSX
OK, so a £130,000 hybrid sports car may not be the most practical of golfing cars but the rear compartment area is just the right size for a set of clubs.
You’ll certainly stand out from the rest of the golfing crowd and with more than 500bhp on tap, you’ll get home quicker than them, too, although with just two seats, you won’t be able to bring all your teammates along for the ride.
Mercedes S-Class
This is the epitome of luxury when it comes to saloon cars. It’s also got an impressively usable boot – enough for two sets of clubs – meaning you won’t have to worry about getting all your equipment to the tee.
If you were looking for the car equivalent of St Andrews, you’d be hard pressed to do better than this.
Maserati Ghibli
There’s a certain something that comes with a Maserati. The Ghibli brings practicality to the table, offering a spacious interior and a good-size boot.
The brand prestige that comes with it is second to none and almost everyone will recognise the trident on the front grille. It’s got a good amount of interior storage too, with plenty of room for tees, balls and shoes.
BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe
This is a sleek five-door, designed to offer the practicality of a saloon with the good looks of a coupe.
Because of this, it’s got a little more room than you’d expect, enough for two sets of clubs in the boot.
