Sadly my Mazda 6 was cruelly taken from me a few weeks ago (someone not paying attention didn't notice I'd stopped and smashed into the back, crushing the rear quarter and destroying the exhaust system) when my insurer wrote it off
Decided to go for a slightly more sensible family car, so picked up a 2012 1.6 petrol Qashqai.
About 1000 miles into driving the new car and have come to the conclusion that I quite like it.
Fuel economy is great, low speed power is pretty good, it corners almost as well as my Focus (although it does have slightly less body roll, which is impressive) and there's loads of space for the kids and stuff.
It's not going to win any acceleration or speed awards, but it does what we need it to do and looks pretty good whilst at it, as well.
Bonus discovery is that despite being the bare bones model, it has full BT connectivity for streaming audio
