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 🤔

Peugeot Expert Bus

The Peugeot Expert Bus is a sensible people-mover that pairs commercial durability with a surprisingly comfy interior, making it ideal for shuttle duty or large-family road trips. It won’t steal any style prizes, but its practical layout, easy-driving manners and thoughtful kit mean you’ll spend more time moving people and less time fussing over details.
