[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for the feedback! Focusing on the commuter first, we were able to look at Honda, Toyota, Ford, and Subaru yesterday. Seeing in-person was helpful (especially for size & car feel), with our current shortlist as follows:
- Subaru Forester 
- Honda CRV
- Mazda CX-50 (pending in-person next weekend)

Ford is out (Explorer too big, finishing seems just ok); Toyota RAV4 is unavailable until the redesigned 2026 model is released…so between the uncertainty of year 1 of a redesign and needing to wait, it’s out.

The CRV was probably the front runner, but I learned after our visit that it performed poorly in the IIHS moderate-front overlap test for rear passengers. It sounds like they recently changed the test, but still—the Forester and CX-50 both were good across measures. I need to read more to understand how big of a deal it is (it feels like a big deal to me!).

Audi poster, thank you and I’m disappointed to hear about the maintenance issues. I will need to dig into CR (we had been looking at Car & Driver primarily).[/quote]
