The Kia Carnival gets The Tick, every time, in that price range. And with four kids you will find that a proper people-mover gives far more flexibility than an SUV or even a converted van.

THE Kia Carnival is the least reliable, having well-documented problems with head gaskets. I would be drawn towards the Honda because it's well-built, well-designed and more contemporary than the Mazda.

YOUR method of checking fuel consumption isn't very accurate, so it's hard to comment. On the basis of the distance you cover on a tankful of fuel, you're using 16-18 litres/100km, which is high if that's accurate. The Carnival is a big lump of a vehicle, but should get about 12 litres/100km, which would give you a range of at least 600km. Overheating was a fairly common problem covered by warranty, but it would be worth making sure the engine didn't sustain any more substantial damage in the incident that might be affecting it.
