I was all set to get one a year ago but I did a bit of research and found several owners who were having all sorts of problems with the electronics - in particular the safety systems, which were displaying errors and doing peculiar things. Expensive car - particularly the diesel. Unusually was offered a test drive in the managers car which had a tow bar so i could test tow. That diesel is very smooth and quite economical. However the problems put me off and I went for a Kia Sorento which was just a year old and 8k miles saving about 10k on new price and a better trade-in price to boot! Kia has had an AdBlue problem - sorted under warranty and has, touch wood, been very reliable for the last 8-9 k miles. Great tow car.

If it has a Mazda badge avoid anything with a diesel engine.
