The other ancillary benefits are - if I ever need to take the X7 for something, and as my wife doesn't know how to drive manual as has no desire to learn, she'll also have a car she can use if need be. And a few times a year we have family stay over and it'll be nice to have that 3rd car they can use as opposed to having them rent something. |
Mazda 3 Hatch with a turbo then, all turbos come AWD. Hilariously fun, 6ish second 0-60 time, same interior room as CX30 (which you said fits the bill in terms of size). Seriously, look up the leg, shoulder, hip, and storage between the 3 Hatch and CX30, they’re identical. Wife previously had a 3 Hatch non turbo, thing was a hoot. Got 39 mpg on the way to the beach too. We both miss the hell out of that car, so much so that the CRV is either getting replaced for a CX5 or a turbo 3 hatch…
