Quality has been Toyota/Lexus level for a few years now, and while they still have an old-school 6-speed auto, at least it's not a CVT. 2.0L turbo has decent power, and build quality/interior materials are top rate. I've had a CX-5 for almost a year now, and so far it's been completely flawless.

I looked at Mazda online a while back, but had mostly forgotten about them. I will go back and look -- thanks!
Midsized is what I want. I'm done hauling coal, plywood, firewood, etc. so I no longer need a pickup. I do need 4- or AWD though because of where I live.
Other than getting groceries, taking a few bags to the dumps or stuff like that, I'm fine. Whatever I end up getting, I will probably have them install a hitch before I pick it up, just in case I move or something, which is likely.
