2025 Mazda CX-70 or Telluride/Palisade?

[FirstMazdaCX5]

Hi I am looking for some advice.

For context, I am currently driving a 2022 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD. I have 2 kids, aged 9 and 11.

On some occasions, I have had to use the third row for transporting other kiddos from sports.

I am debating on picking up a 2025 CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus with 10K miles on it for
Just under $40k before TTL. Seems like such a steal for a car that when new was near $60K and basically new still.

That said, I am not mechanically inclined and am debating whether it even makes sense. Considering I have a family with kids, I’d like to have the third row available as needed. The CX-90s haven’t had as good offerings.

I would like to save where I can, which is why the frugal side of me is considering the CX-70. It’s about $20K cheaper than the Korean twins!

I swear this car's headlights are the bane of my existence on the road. I don't understand it—Toyota is the world's largest automaker. They can make competent vehicles. What in sam hell is going on with their headlights, which are just torch mode LEDs with no cutoff? When one of these is sitting across the intersection pointing at me, I have to sit there with my arm blocking my eyes as the whole interior of my car is lit up like daylight. I genuinely can't see when it will be my turn to go. I have to wait for the Highlander to make the first move.

The Mazda is sounding better and better to me
