Bought a Pixel 10. If I care about you at all, please be very wary about investing any time or money in any OnePlus product.

Okay, I had a lengthy chat with the mechanic for my Audi A3. He’s asking me to consider most strongly the Mazda CRV or Toyota Corolla Cross. He loves the Honda.

Hey, hopefully a last question, only because I feel like I’ve been falling into a Subaru-yay-or-nay quandary.

Anybody have experience with the Chevy Trax? I’ve seen a few in the mountains around here and they look capable for what that’s worth - and more like a sedan, which is appealing to me. In the Compact SUV category Car & Driver likes it very much. Readers have complained about the wet timing-belt.

I should say I’m not specifically looking for a manual and am also more likely to buy new than used this time. Some models might be allocated but I don’t envision many shortages this time of year. Really wondering what people would do with my rather vaguely stated set of considerations for options and features, mostly, traction/clearance/cost-of-ownership/cargo-space/drives like a car not a van/reliability/performance/tech/and I’d like a sunroof. I’m probably going to miss my A3 but its time is nigh. Maybe there’s no perfect car for me and I should stop feeling like there ought to be. But as nice as the 2025-6 Forester ‘Limited’ trim package looks to me (including some recent drivetrain improvements beginning in ’25 I think) some of you with a notable exception appear to be persuading me away from the mfgr. Continuing to read and research. Thank you all so much.

And I hear that sales are poor for the Mazda 3 at least the hatch version, and they might be considering ending its production after the model year. I don’t think that should inform my purchasing decision (should it?) but it may tend to push prices down (would it?). This has really caught me eye.
