Does anyone have one? What do you think? Specifically the 1.8 hybrid.

Current have a Kia Sportage but I'm getting bored of it and have decided it's an old lady car. DP thinks because itbwas my first car I was inevitably going to get bored of it quite quickly.

Any reviews welcome!

Also watching this with interest.

Keen on getting one of these and going down the hybrid route.

Also following with interest, we like the look of them and the toyota reputation for reliability. My neighbours have one and love it.
Were going to test drive one next week to see if it's comfortable for my tall DH.

Please let us know how you get on @Mando if you could see how comfortably two car seats would fit in the back too, that would be great Grin

Oh I'm not very tall so can't help with that aspect but I was nosying at one in a car park yesterday like a weirdo and it had a baby seat and a booster seat in the back and it looked okay... wouldn't fit anyone in the middle then though (not sure if that is typical... No children here!)

We had our test drive and I loved it but it was not comfortable for my tall DH.
I agree that two child seats should be comfortable in the back.

We drove a Toyota rav 4, nice but noisy, then a honda crv lovely but very uncomfortable head rests!
We finally drove a mazda cx 5, which we both found comfortable, quiet and nice to drive. Currently top choice but any feedback on the cx5 or other recommendations welcome.

I really liked it and was tempted but I idndt feel it was big enough for us ( currently have a BMW X3) and the back windows are quite small too

Hoppinggreen · 27/10/2018 18:46

Should have said we have a tall DH, a 10 year old, 14 year old, me and a large dog

I deal with Fleet and it's an excellent car so much so my husband had ordered one for his company car. Real great seats, easy to drive, intuitive controls. Enjoy!

Mando we love our Mazda CX-5. Really comfortable and much better value than the Toyota CHR.

mando12345 · 27/10/2018 18:59

Oh thank you everyone for your feedback!
I'm feeling quite excited now, our current car is 10 years old so well due for a change.
