For The Qubo has plenty of space for four and their luggage, so it’s very practical for such a small car. A smooth ride means it's decent to drive, too.
Against The kids will get annoyed that the rear windows don't open fully, and it lacks some safety kit. The long tailgate could prove to be a pain as well.
What Car? says
A genuinely useful mini-MPV with cleverly used space and some neat touches. Some may be put off by the awkward looks, but they'll be missing out on brilliant versatility and a decent drive.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Buyers of the snappily-named Fiat Fiorino Qubo have one very straightforward choice to make – between two engines – and that’s a piece of cake: you want the 75bhp 1.3-litre diesel. It's smooth and it's flexible, so it hauls the Qubo around in a nice relaxed manner, but there's some performance in reserve if you need it. There is a case for the petrol if you want your Qubo to be as cheap as possible, but if you can afford it, go for the diesel.
Entry-level Active trim comes with some posh goodies you wouldn't expect, like Bluetooth phone connection and a stereo that plays MP3 files from a memory stick. However, it misses out on air-conditioning, which is essential in a car with this much glass. You get climate control in Dynamic trim, but it costs lots more than the Active and there is still some kit missing that you'd expect for the price. Finally, there's the Trekking model, which gives the car an off-road lok, but no off-road ability.
