My wife said she’s now for me getting a slightly larger car with a more usable body style as we approach time to start trying for a second kid.

Our goal is to get $13,000 out of the 6 on trade and find a TourX for $25k or so. With interest rates being low at local banks and such, I could get a nice, low payment that we would be comfortable with. And, we’d end up paying it off early, anyway. Like we did with the 6.
This is the one I’m most keen on right now:

Just over an hour from me. Lightly used with 11,000 miles. So, likely to have a scratch or ding here and there - which I’m okay with. I can’t stomach owning a brand new car again - that first scratch/ding breaks my OCD heart too much.
This one is a bit overpriced as you can find new ones for $28k all day long (but they aren’t Essence models). I’d hope to get them down to $24,500 or so.
The only feature it lacks that my 6 has is a sunroof, but I figure that may be a good thing in the long run as it’s one less thing to worry about breaking or leaking.
It has remote start and heated seats - the two things my 6 doesn’t have that I REALLY wish it did. And, through OnStar, I can do the connected services where I can remote start/lock/unlock the car with my phone. Nifty.

Rioja Red looks pretty nice.

I agree! It looks like a higher-up color.

It’s intriguing to me that I can get the Holden Commodore version of this in AWD with the V6 engine and normal (rather than raised) suspension, used (but less than 10,000 km) for less than a brand new base model Forester....
This 2018 RS-V AWD V6 has AU$32,800 (US$22,700) on the sticker and less than 12,000 km on the dial.

The Pano Sunroof in the TourX is amazing, test drive one with one if you haven’t. I’d rather have it than the remote start if you could get it .

Regardless of the deal you get I hope you love it like we love our 2018 TourX Preferred. I liked to have had leather for easy cleaning but the cloth is so much comfortable overall and hot/cold days. We have Sights & Sounds pkg which includes 8" infotainment screen and the upgraded Bose audio which both look and sound great.
It is mostly a quiet, smooth ride and people that ride in it say it is very roomy.

The other benefit of a car without a sunroof is increased headroom. I find this to be an annoyance with most modern sedans, as I’m above average height but not really *that* tall (6'1). On all sedans with sunroofs my hair brushes the headliner.
Not a problem with CUVs, though.
