Hi all.

I'm looking for a family CUV and have narrowed it down to these 3 vehicles. They are all more or less similar in price esp. when you factor in the 3 yr. maintenance / service free offer of Mazda. I am not interested in the AWD versions nor the turbocharged versions (except that the Forester only come in AWD, so that's a bonus) since this vehicle will be used mostly (90%) in the City. They definitely have their specific advantages and disadvantages. As a family vehicle, I am interested in the following criteria:

1. Safety
2. Space (front and rear seats)
3. Reliability
4. Low loading floor
5. cargo room (will need to fit a stroller and luggage)

Occasionally, I will drive this vehicle to work so am also interested in its features and not only its creature comforts. Fuel consumption is a small concern but value more after sales service (or does this depend on the dealership?). This vehicle must last without any major problems for 5 years. Annual usage is approx. 8k - 10k kilometres only. Btw, this CUV must accommodate a child seat as well as 4 other adults (including the driver).

Which of these 3 will be the most apt given the criteria above? Am interested to get the recommendations of actual owners. Thanks all.
