Fascinating. Turns out the third series of the Mazda2 (I have a late 2012 version) won the World Car Of The Year title in 2008.
The Australian version differs slightly from others, it offers traction control/electronic stability control on all models. In other markets, the base model, the Neo, misses out on this feature.
@jussipekonen Kia Sorento/Hyundai Santa Fe are 7-seaters with an excellent reputation for durability, performance, safety. The Toyota Highlander is also a contender in the same field.

If you see someone doing a crossword today, lean over them and say 7 up is Lemonade.
Back from my shopping expedition, wound up getting a three-outlet remote control setup. By going with a known brand, if the remote should crap out in future I just buy another single outlet set & the remote that comes with that can handle all four outlets.
Stocked up on my favourite glass cleaning arrangement: isopropyl alcohol spray & fine microfibre cloths. Extremely effective on computer screens.
Wanted: the ability to charge up a smartphone WITHOUT the bastard thing starting up at power connection.
About 5 years ago I bought a pack of four wireless remote control power outlets from Aldi. Two are for devices up to 2400 w & two are dimmer controls for plug-in lighting fixtures.
The remote device has on/off buttons for each individual outlet plus master on/off buttons to control all outlets.
Alas, entropy & the endless march of technology have taken their toll, the remote control itself finally died this morning, negating the one power outlet I still use.
As for the dimmer ones, they're only useful for halogen bulbs; compact fluorescents & LED bulbs flicker and stutter in a most horridly distracting manner.
Ergo, any replacement unit won't need to be a light dimmer.
The simple question is for the one brand now readily available, do I buy a single-outlet pack for $18 or a triple pack for $37?
I've only been using one outlet for a few years now but can see a possibility for a second device.
The Sunday school teacher asked the students to draw a picture of what they had learned that day.
She was puzzled by Kyle's picture, which showed four people on an airplane, so she asked him which story it was meant to represent.
"The flight to Egypt," said Kyle.
"I see … And that must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus," Ms. Terri said.
"But who's the fourth person?"
"Oh, that's Pontius-the Pilot."
