Budget: $45kish
Looking for a new car for my wife and I. Mine is basically on it's last leg, and I tend to drive cars until they die (current one has 225k miles, and about 12 years old). It likely needs some major repairs, or I just buy something new.
Purpose: Just 2 of us, mainly city driving, and some road trips.
Preferences: Trailer hitch (for bike rack) or rooftop rack system. Some technologies that my current 12 year old car has (so, basically everything). Something my wife doesn't mind driving.
I am tempted buy electric, but think that may be the next vehicle we buy, but not this one unless there is something I should know.
Current leader is a Mazda CX50. I was also tempted by 4runners, but don't think I want to go that much higher on budget, or that much worse on gas mileage.
I have done basically no research beyond my car getting a check engine light yesterday, and me deciding I should just buy a new car.
