@matigo Also known as the Mazda Demio. It might be called by that name.
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.
