We love it Bob.
Drove it to the match yesterday for the first time. It's specced up and is proving to be a smooth ride. We like the height having never had anything like this previously.
Getting used to the fact I don't have to change gears. It has a bit of umph when I need it.
I have no doubt most cars will have this in the future but you can start the car with the app on the frosty mornings from the house. Track the car with the app etc.
My mum and dad will find it easier getting in and out of too. The mazda is very slinky and low down.
The heated seats came in handy on the way home, the temperature dropped during the game.
Happy with the dealer before and after sales have been good.
Nothing to put me off so far, so good.View attachment 36024

Over the years I have spent very little on cars, indeed, I have purchased 4 bicycles that each cost more than any car I have ever owned. At present I drive an Oldfartmobile, a silver non turbo diesel Berlingo. Bartered it for 2 Chinese flugel horns. 
Lovely driving position and great for collecting firewood and moving junk around. It has just passed what will be its last MOT and I'm actually prepared to spend a bit this time for something reliable that will see me through without too much hassle. Quite fancy an electric or hybrid and was looking at a Niro. Any thoughts welcome.

DO NOT DO IT BEAR
we got stung by Kia. The warranty was ignored on a car <2years old with a faulty clutch. Bigger brands like Honda, Toyota wouldn't treat you the same way. We sold her Sportage and got another CRV, no brainer
I will be buying Japanese again when mine's up for replacement
Remembered this thread from a couple of years ago and reading it.
Finally took the plunge and entered the SUV world last week with us now having two children, I absolutely loved my BMW 1 series but it isn’t big enough. A BMW/VW suv are well out my range so settled for a black nissan qashqai 16 plate with 30k miles on the clock.
Enjoying it so far and pleased with it, obviously not as powerful as my BMW but does the job and the in car features are brilliant. Also this is petrol opposed to the diesel I’ve had so I’ve stalled it a couple of times and need to work on that

Qashqai / Sportage are fully specced out cars and provide excellent value.
The older you get the easier you find SUVs to get in and out of
.
Joking aside I have found the additiinal on the road height giving me a much more sense of safety in wet weather/ onbthe motorway.
We opted for a medium sized deisel SUV - the first automatic car I have driven in 40yrs + of motoring and can't ever see myself buying a manual car again.
