The Suzuki Swace is a pragmatic estate that swaps showy design for roomy practicality and a quiet, comfortable ride that suits everyday family life.

I have the Swace — it drives much more frugally than you state: 1:23. A downside as you get older is that getting in, and especially getting out, becomes harder because of the low seating position. The advantage of the low seat is better fuel economy. 16‑inch wheels are also likely to be more economical than larger ones. Rear legroom is poor. It would be nice if the rear bench were on rails like the Renault Twingo. Shrinking the boot would give more rear legroom. The 2014 Toyota Prius was the last to offer lots of rear legroom — after that it’s been rubbish.

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 🤔

I've owned several Volvos, but I drive a Mazda now and would never switch back.
