New motor Ford Cmax, Nissan Qashqai or Kia Sportage

Afternoon all,
Its safe to say when it comes to motors im what we call non mechanical.

Been looking for new family car for month or so now and have narrowed it down to the above 3.

Can anyone advise on which out the 3 is the best to go for based on replacement parts and if anyone can advise in general which car is better?

Much appreciated.

    Personally, I would go for the Kia.

    Don't like Fords, never had a Nissan and had a Kia for 7 years with absolutely no issues.

    If there is nothing else to help chooses between them then, Kia 7 year warranty, Ford and Nissan 3 years.

    Have you tried any of them? I did all the research on paper & decided the Qashqai was the one for me. Then I went to the showroom & found it very cramped & dark inside (the car, not the showroom). The Cmax struck me as cheap & nasty. I had ruled out the Kia as it didn't have the engine/gearbox mix I wanted so didn't see it in the flesh. Ended up with a Honda CRV, the dealership was the nearest.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Which is better for what? Depends on the engine option and usage. Are they new or used? Boot space in the Nissan isnt great.
