Bentley Continental GT, from £183k

They don’t get any more classier than a Bentley.

Audi Q7, from £63k

An Audi is always a sensible choice of brand when buying a motor.

Reliability and performance are two things the German car giants boast, and the Q7 is as steady as it gets.

Several high-profile Barcelona stars used a Q7 to get to and from training until the Catalans’ sponsorship deal expired.

Again, it was perfect for Rio to ferry himself to training and back.
