I've been driving Mazdas for about ten years now without problems and with a lot of enjoyment. The last 3.5 years in a CX‑5. A really nice, smooth car that can tow quite a bit too, although I wouldn't recommend doing that with the FWD because it lacks grip on the front axle — so if you fit a towbar always choose the AWD. The only downside I can think of, after long consideration, is... nothing 🤔

Fiat Tipo Wagon

The Fiat Tipo Estate is a no-nonsense family wagon that focuses on practicality and value, with surprisingly generous load space and comfortable seats for long trips. It won't win style awards, but its sensible kit, simple controls and low running costs make it a smart, unfussy choice for buyers who want function over flash.

Value for money is its strong point...
Avoid the 3-cylinder petrol and the 1.3 mjt 95 hp — far too little to move 1,500 kg, very sluggish in acceleration.
The only and excellent compromise is the 1.6 mjt2 131 hp; despite weighing 1,500 kg it moves it with plenty of ease and verve (9.5 sec 0–100 km/h), giving real satisfaction.
