Buying a new car is always better when you know you're getting a bargain, but scouring the internet for the best deals can be time-consuming and scrappage schemes aren't for everyone.
So Autocar has done the hard work for you and compiled a list of the biggest savings on the new car market.
We've found combined savings of £32,125 on the five models featured below, so take a look and click on the links to read our full road test verdict on each one or visit our sister site What Car? for further deals. All offers are valid until 21 December 2017.
Mercedes-Benz SL - pay £60,251, save £15,604
Mercedes' top drop-top model is known for being an ultra-luxurious way to get the wind in your hair but, with engines featuring no fewer than six cylinders, it is a remarkably effortless performance machine too.
Prices for the SL can seem a little out of reach for most. Thankfully, there's help at hand, as we've spotted a SL 400 AMG Line with a barely believable £15.6k lopped off its price on What Car?.

From luxury drop-top to luxury SUV, Volvo's XC90 is also one of the safest and most robust cars money can buy.
What Car? has a 2.0 T8 Hybrid Momentum on sale with a discount of more than six grand, making this a heck of a lot of car for the money.

BMW X5 - pay £53,241, save £4219
BMW is also a star of the SUV game these days, and its X5 is one of the best-selling premium models on the market.
That will surely make the xDrive30d M Sport Auto on What Car? with a £4.2k discount all the more tempting.

BMW Dealers
Not a dealer but have just spent too much time talking deals with several on a 335D Touring: bottom line, accept nothing less than 22-23% discount and 0% finance (you only get the full discount if taking finance) then pay the whole thing off immediately. Decided in the end that dealing with sales people for dinosaur burners was just too much hassle, so going straight to electric.

It's more the case that parking space widths are just not fit for purpose anymore. Every car has grown every time there's a new model, since cars began, and yet recommended parking space sizes have not changed since 1994. Bearing in mind a space which is 1.8m wide is permissible, almost every car on sale is wider than that. Many cars are longer than the 4.5m which is the minimum length required.
You can technically drive a tractor, a tank or a privately owned bus or coach on a car licence, so any car is still small in comparison. I've driven a lot of things a lot bigger than an XC90 without a problem. But I think what you were really saying is, I don't like it, therefore no-one should have one.

That's the problem
And the justification is what, if I may ask? Manufacturers make the cars cleaner, safer, plusher, yet they can't make them more space efficient? The first gen Mercedes A-Class (W168/V168) was perfect. Full size 7-seat MPVs like the original Espace and Eurovan1 were 4.40. Let's see if dedicated electric car platforms can save even more space by pushing the batteries under the floor. IMHO road tax should be based on the amount of road occupied (length and width); let's see if we can reverse the trend that way.
Roads stay the same. Parking spaces between pillars in garages under buildings stay the same. If cars grow and can't fit anymore, it's not the parking space's or the road's fault.
