Unfortunately my 2018 RAV4 was totaled on Sunday in a flash flood. A new car was not on my radar and now am overwhelmed with making a decision. I have narrowed the choices down to the 2026 Subaru Outback, Honda CRV Hybrid and Honda Passport.

• The 2026 Outback drove great and they are offering some screaming deals on the cars right now. 1.9% financing and I am sure I could get a few thousand off the MSRP of $34,995. I liked the new center console and the safety features. I have never owned a Subaru but I am opening to trying it out.
• The Honda CRV Hybrid would offer great gas mileage but my local Honda mechanic said any issues I would have to go the dealer. He is not equipped to repair hybrids. Any savings on gas could be eaten up by the extra cost to repair a hybrid. The Costco pricing is $37,463 after a few dealer add-ons. Financing terms are not as attractive as Subaru. Probably around 5%.
• The Honda Passport just looks good but I am sure will last me twenty years. I plan to test drive tonight but it is by far the most expensive (still waiting on Costco pricing) and gets the worst gas mileage.

I will be driving the vehicle daily around 37 miles round trip in bumper to bumper highway traffic. Three young kids and two dogs. I like to paddle board and my husband bikes a lot.

What car should I buy?

My family is at a bit of a loss over my missing uncle. He lives in a care home outside of Jacksonville and has been missing since yesterday morning around 8:30 AM. We live in South Carolina so I am hoping this community may help until my dad can get down to Florida. Has anyone seen Mark? He was last seen near Crest Drive North near Ramona Boulevard. Mark has dementia so it is best if he is not approached. Please call the Sheriff's office if you see him or saw him. Thank you so much for the help!
