I've had a Q2 TDI 116 since 2018 with 108,000 km. No engine or chassis problems. Except for weakness of the front-left tyre.

Mazda CX-80

The Mazda CX-80 brings polished, near-premium styling and a cabin that feels far classier than its badge might imply. It steers with a composed, engaging character and packs the sensible practicality families want — with just enough flair to make school runs feel a little less ordinary.
