Mitsubishi Grandis

The Mitsubishi Grandis is a no-nonsense MPV that hides a surprisingly sleek profile, making family duty look almost stylish. It’s spacious, easy to drive, and built to shrug off daily chaos, though the cabin feels dated and it prefers a relaxed cruise to any hot-hatch antics.

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 🤔
