Choosing a suitable car is difficult enough. What does it do with your wallet, and does it offer enough space for everyone? Is it reliable in the long run? In this AutoWeek Occasion Special we go the extra mile. We add the question: can you have fun with it? Because when we look at the parking lots around us, it seems that people sometimes lose sight of that question.

What exactly you can define as ‘pleasure’ is of course very different from person to person. The first will certainly opt for a convertible, the other for a large engine or interesting technology, while a third will only enjoy a car if he can tinker with it every weekend. We have tried to serve all wishes in this special as much as possible. Of course we keep it all accessible. We also understand that we do not make this magazine for people who have the budget to get a 2,500 kilo diesel on the road or to bring many thousands of euros to the garage every year to keep an exotic car on the road.

Furthermore, we have also taken a few seemingly normal things by the horns that can make driving so much more fun. First of all, there is the car tire. This not only provides a lot of safety, but you can also have fun with it. You have probably experienced that you pick up your car at the workshop after fresh rubber has been placed. It is immediately striking how much quieter and nicer your car drives. And that’s fun too, isn’t it? In this special we look at what you should pay attention to in order to enjoy a car tire for as long as possible.

On a number of pages you will find a collection of cars that we have chosen especially because they are a pleasant alternative to the average car. We classify them as ‘Fun Top 3’. For 7.5 grand you step into a Golf Cabriolet which is really a lot more enjoyable than a closed one. And why choose a Ford Mondeo if you can also drive Alfa Romeo or Jaguar for the same budget? Even for less than two grand you can pick up a car that is nicer than average.

Then there is the chip tuning theme. That is a hot topic for car owners. Today’s turbocharged engines are an easy victim. During the report we made about it, the tuners showed their worst side when we asked about the disadvantages of such a tuning. They were all on vacation, sick, or busy talking. A survey with our objective specialists yielded an answer. What it comes down to is that you have to inform yourself well in advance and certainly do not want to go the extra mile. A mild chip tuning is often best.
