What is the better SUV, Renault Kadjar or Mazda CX5?
We have £15,000 to spend on a fuel efficient, reliable SUV. It's got to last 7-10 years and be cheap to run and service. Where would you put your money, a Mazda CX-5 or a Renault Kadjar?

The Mazda will be older but has excellent handling for an SUV. Have had some phantom DPF regeneration issues, but I'm not sure how much of this I believe. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mazda/cx-5-2012/ It also uses a bit more fuel but bigger 2.2 chain cam engine v/s the Renault 1.5 belt cam (or 1.6 chain cam).
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
