Ferrari has always had a way with convertibles, but it has been a long time since it last produced a front-engined Spider. Not since the legendary 365 GTS4 (better known as the Daytona) back in 1969 has Maranello given us a proper soft-top grand tourer with its engine up front.

There are certain cars that become so familiar, so universally accepted, that their presence is almost taken for granted. The Honda Freed is one of them. If you do not drive one, your neighbour probably does. Or you probably sat in one the last time you booked a Grab ride. The Freed’s appeal has always been remarkably straightforward.
