Wife & I just picked up a 2025 Mazda CX-90, second trim level, full gas (no hybrid). I love it. It looks and feels far more sporty than the Highlander we were also looking at. It does NOT have a touch screen (praise be to actual tactile buttons I can memorize the location and feel of). Its got a ton of pep for a fairly big car. It also has a lot of driver assist features, but it's really easy to change their alert type or turn them off. I'm a fan.
I was able to give my old Camry to my dad, it's a 2009 but only had 87,000 miles on it because it was my old Ex's car and she took the train to work, then when we broke up and I took it (she took the 'new' car we bought together and took on the payments so she signed the Camry over to me as payback for the money I had put in) I was working full time from home. The trade in value just didn't properly reflect how good that car still was, and that was proven right when we had it go in for a tune up before turning it over and the mechanic said there wasn't anything to repair / watch out for. Timing was great since the muffler on his 2006 Impala fell off in my sister's driveway the day after I took the Mazda delivery.
Our back up car is the wife's Prius now. It's a nice reliable car, but its way too small for even basic trips and the pickup is atrocious / I am constantly waiting to be rear ended merging onto the highway haha. The Mazda blows it out of the water in both accounts obviously.
