My wife and I work for the same company, although I travel way more than she does. Any who, we ended up in a Highlander for a week in the Florida panhandle and loved everything about it. Mpg was just, OK, but the car itself made up for that. I’m not into paying more for a car than I did for my 1st house, so never even considered it. My suv is a 2018 Nissan rogue midnight edition that we bought for her new and is now a 3rd car, although gets driven a lot. Folks here rip on Nissan so whatever, but, it’s been one of the best cars we’ve ever owned! It’s sets @110k and minus maintenance (which I’m over the top about) has never had a nut or bolt turned on it. It routinely gets over 30mpg, loaded down, uses no oil and still has no body rattles and no rust. My daughter bought an enclave, which is super nice, but @70k has had mechanical issues, mostly electrical, although it does go through rotors…a lot!. She should be a test pilot for car and driver but, still.
