My MG ZS is doing everything I need it to. It's excellent value and has a 7 year warranty.
It's the first car I've owned that people stop me to talk about. Which is weird because it looks pretty much identical to 90% of the small SUVs on the market (at twice the price).

2017 Ford Expedition EL 5.4L 4x4. Perfect family car seats 8 and still has space for 3 Husky’s in the boot. Best car we have ever owned

BMW X6 SPORT I love my car.

Peugeot 3008. Nice high seating position and big enough boot for my two dogs. Well-equipped and a pleasant car to drive.

Love my Ford Kuga 👍🏻

Ford Kuga 4WD. I live on a hill on the edge of the Pennines and need a 4WD when it snows. I love it.

I have a KIA sportage and really happy with it , I have 2 under 2 though so it's the size that was important to me

Mercedes A class loaded all the gadgets you could ever need..had it for nearly 12 months and still finding stuff on it!

Just bought a Mazda CX3, I love it!

BMW 3 Series Touring, six cylinder petrol, manual gearbox.

Can't rate it highly enough in terms of enjoyable driving allied to decent rear space. The Harmon Kardon sound system is excellent, and the iDrive infotainment system on the main dash (Professional Nav is what you need to option for the widescreen) is so easy to use.

I paid about that for my Volvo XC60 when it was 3/4 years old. It’s an absolutely amazing car, love it.

lovelyupnorth · 16/11/2019 10:28

Currently we have a

Skoda Superb Sportline and Hyundai i20 premium se NAV. Would recommend both but then I’d recommend any car we’d owned in the last 20 years. Haven’t had a bad one.
So that includes

Ford Mondeo 2014, Vauxhall Zafria 2007, mazda 6 2011. Renault Laguna 2008, fiat punto 2002, Land Rover freelander 2002, Ford mondeo 2002

Golf, my second one and I agree with James May - there's really no reason to buy any other car. P,enty of space for 5 people, boot is practical (more space than the horrid suvs we keep getting on holiday), well made, drives nicely and you can get a quick one if that's what you want.
