Mother in law has a highlander and can't think of anything spectacular about it. Personally I most care about what a vehicle looks like and with that, toyota would be the last company I would buy a vehicle from.

Def a lame interior. I had trouble getting my wife to go along with it due to the interior, loaded or not. Hell I'm still pissed I bought it instead of an srt8. Thanks ls1tech.

Looking at your current and previously owned vehicles it doesn't appear "interior" is on the priority list for you either, lol.

Before the tbss my wife had an 04 and 06 mazda. They really do a great job with the interiors and we never had a single issue with ours. The cx-9s are pretty nice.

My mom bought a new CX-7 about 3 years back. It had a little pep with the turbo and I thought the interior was pretty good. After about a year, she ended up trading it in on a loaded Acura MDX.

Ya they are cool. This one is the grand touring bigger cx-9. I was shocked how nice it was and the price was awesome. Nav, leather, sunroof, 3rd row, power lift gate, 20's, zenon headlights, led taillights..and much more for 32,800. Cant beat that.

Mazda's are the bomb. I would definitely rock one if I was in the market and needed a vehicle like that.

At the risk of taking a stone to the head here, I would definitely consider a Hyundai vehicle at this point also. Not sure what they have in the SUV segment but they are getting the act together.

Bolded options are what my mom's CX-7 did not have and are the 2 big reasons she ended up trading it in.

Yeah. I bought mine used with 11k miles on it 2.5 years ago. It now has 37k miles and the market value is actually higher now than it was when I bought it.
