Until I had kids, I’d never been too fussed about whether or not a car had a panoramic sunroof. You can’t stare at blue sky and look where you’re going, can you?

Both my kids love them, though. And happy children mean less-stressful journeys, which mean happy parents.

The Suzuki’s sunroof is especially good. As well as extending almost all the way back so kids in the rear seats can look up and see out, it also opens fully, rather than just having a retracting blind. It’s a definite specification highlight, standard on the top-spec SZ5, on a car that is very well equipped for the money.
