Who knew vacuuming could be fun? Great design, fabulous
cleaning ability and low running costs make this the quirky
sucker to beat. And everyone has to clean… don’t they?
Toyota IQ
From £9295
Fuel efficient, compact and nippy, it’s also good to look at
and cunningly designed. Add in the gadget options, such as the
touchscreen LCD and iPod integration, and it’s a mini-marvel.
KKL GoCycle
From £599
Part push bike, part button-boosted battery bike, the smart allin-one
design is a real stunner. The fold-away frame and carry bag
make for a commute-friendly option, even for your best trousers.
