In 2017 I had just purchased my Infiniti Q50 to take over daily driver duties from my old faithful Nissan Pathfinder. It was the nicest and newest car I had ever purchased solely for myself to use. We had always kept my wife in the nicest car, as I was worried about her always having reliable transportation. At the time she had a 2014 Kia Sorento that had been serving us well for 5 years and over 90,000 miles. Fast forward two weeks after purchasing my Q50 and I managed to have an accident in the Sorento while driving it one of the rare times I did. Our insurance company ended up totaling it, which was a huge disappointment as it was nearly paid off and my wife really loved her Kia.
So we began searching for a new vehicle for her. I decided to call the salesman at the dealership I purchased the Q50 from to see what they had on the lot. We stopped by and test drove a couple of vehicles, but we ran across a very nice 2015 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD that they had just gotten in and it had been meticulously cared for, along with a recent expensive trip through their service department for a long list of services, new tires, and new brakes. The only drawback was that it was a little smaller than we were looking for, but otherwise it fit the bill and it was well under our price range, so after driving it we decided to purchase it.
