Spent many years with Honda, Nissan/Infiniti (don't ever buy a 15 YO model or newer of either, their transmissions suck), and went Toyota when it was time for the mini-van in '05 replacing an RX-300 that we outgrew having kids. Most bought used. I replaced the Sienna (bought new) with an '09 CX-90 in '15 and haven't looked back. Traded that one in for a new '20 CX-9. Bought my oldest daughter, as a new driver, an '18 Mazda3 hatch for HS four years ago, she's passed it on to my youngest, and last year got her a '16 CX-5 to take to college. This past fall I pulled the trigger on a '21 Miata for me. Have had great luck with all of them, just needing basic maintenance. Your price point is gonna be a challenge. Mazdas hold value based on reliability ratings, but often come in under Honda and Toyota. I'll close by adding, IMHO, Zoom Zoom is real. [/QUOTE]
