Buy or hire the 488 Spider if...
An open-top V8 supercar hired for weddings, birthdays and other occasions where the noise and presence matter as much as the drive. Its folding hardtop makes it usable as a everyday-ish hire car in good weather, unlike a fixed-roof track special.

Buy or hire the S-Class Saloon Long if...
Mercedes' flagship saloon in long-wheelbase form, the standard car for UK chauffeur firms rather than self-drive hire. The extended wheelbase adds rear legroom rather than luggage space, which stays much the same as the standard car.
