Cars in Qatar
Hi,
We're shortly moving to Qatar and I've been looking at the cars available in Qatar. Problem is that I dont know half the models!! We're ideally looking for something akin to the Volkswagen Sharan and or Vauxhaul Safira/Merifa in the UK. Essentially 7 seaters with the flexible to have less than 7 seats. Alternatively a safe, big car for a family of 5 - Three kids still all in child car seats. ANy input??
Please help "Oh Wise Ones!"

Thanks everyone, this has been really helpful.
Any idea what a "Car lease agreement plan" is referred to in Qatar? Is that the long term rent option?

they are cheaper here than in canada and so they must be cheaper than in the UK.
a mazda 3 well equipped in canada would be about 23K CAD before tax, here it was about 17K with no tax.
you'll find almost everything here. be careful though because resale values may differ.
japanese always do well, although toyota service is pure rubbish here. GM cars seem to be improving although they will still depreciate quickly (and probably not a good bet now that the company is at risk of going belly up).
european cars are expensive to maintain.
looking at resale, cost, price, service, everything - look at nissan, and if service means nothing to you then toyota (their cars are good and resale value here is excellent).

Qatar has best of the best cars you will find all that you need here once you arrive. But please note the cars that you know of in UK probably have a differnt name here.
You can Try - Honda Odyssy, Toyota Sienna.
The safest qatar for Qatar would be a Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, GMC Yukon, GMC Tahoe they are all 7 to 8 seaters..
Good Luck..
