Mazda is much better designed. Audis are pretty ugly overall, especially the "Q" series.

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 🤔

Renault Kangoo

The Renault Kangoo is the pragmatic chameleon of small vans, marrying van-like practicality with carlike comfort and a cheerful, friendly face that suits both family runs and workday hauls. It's sensible, versatile and annoyingly useful — easy to live with, cheap to run and clever where it counts, so you get more space and fewer compromises than the price suggests.
