The design is tight and clean, and its on-road manner is \u2018more car-like\u2019 than any of its siblings.The critics don\u2019t just like it, they love it, and with a 67-reg plate proudly grading its face, you probably will too.Mercedes-Benz SLC 180If the Mazda MX-5 is premium enough for you, Merc has lowered the entry point of its SLC roadster with the new SLC 180.Priced in excess of \u00a331k, it\u2019s hardly pocket money, but it does make a drop-top Merc more affordable than ever and it\u2019ll look super-slick on your driveway with a 67-reg plate slapped on its mush.Ford FiestaSure, it\u2019s an uninspired choice but the Fiesta sells so well for a reason: it\u2019s ruddy good at everything.Handling, check. Styling, yep. Price, bang-on. It just gets ticks all the boxes and with the introduction of a new SUV-influenced off-shoot – the Fiesta Active – Ford has stretched the Fiesta\u2019s appeal wider than ever. It pleases us very much to tell you there\u2019s an ST version on the way too, capable of 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds.Volkswagen GolfAnother mega-selling model but again, the Golf has gone some way to putting its emissions scandal behind it with a series of revisions that address its efficiency head-on.The fact it looks sharper than ever and drives just as well is a bonus.Jaguar F-TypeAs if there weren\u2019t enough reasons to want an F-Type already, Jaguar now offers a tamer variant that uses a downsized four-pot unit. It\u2019s an intriguing move, even if it hasn\u2019t been entirely successful.Mini JCW CountrymanThe Countryman is sacrilege to some. Compared to the original Mini and even its rebirth under BMW Group-ownership, this bulky SUV-like hulk is \u2018Mini\u2019 by name and little else. That doesn\u2019t mean we wouldn\u2019t want this John Cooper Works variant with a 67-reg plate.Alfa Romeo StelvioAlfa\u2019s first ever SUV has injected some much-needed variety to the Italian car maker\u2019s model range.September sees the introduction of a 177bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine, as well as a 197bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine to the Stelvio\u2019s engine offering.Find out more on the new Stelvio here.Honda Civic Type RHonda was hasty to replace the Civic Type R, with its successor – based on the tenth-gen Civic – arriving barely two years into the lifecycle of 2015\u2019s effort.With 305bhp to throw around, it can hit 62mph in 5.7 seconds with a 167mph top speed, so it was no surprise when it set a new record time on the punishing N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife earlier this year."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The best 67-reg plate cars you can buy right now","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/best-67-reg-plate-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
