We love the Qashqai. But has anyone here owned one of these 9 crossovers that came before it?

1. Matra Rancho
2. Toyota RAV4
3. Land Rover Freelander
4. Honda HR-V
5. AMC Eagle
6. Skoda Roomster
7. Subaru Forester
8. Toyota Tercel
9. Pontiac Aztek

If you have owned one of the vehicles listed above, how do they compare to the Qashqai?

My understanding is that the term "crossover" specifically applies to a vehicle with "SUV" styling but two-wheel drive. Hence many in that list are not crossovers. I'd also query the Roomster - it's more weird estate than crossover.

I had a Landrover Freelander V6 - a lovely car which felt a lot stronger than the Qashqai (from memory) but which I traded in suffering huge depreciation owing to a huge thirst. I was getting 22mpg average with a range between 16-27mpg.

I had a RAV4 years ago, couldn't really fault it.
A bit plain and uninsiring and not finished as well in the cabin.
No real toys compared to the QQ
Not sure what the up to date RAV4 is like!

Much larger if you had an early one!
