I am very happy with my Cx9 if that ever makes its way into your comparison. Gas mileage has been exceptional for a vehicle of its size (~23mpg), it's an absolute monster in the snow with snow tires, and build/material quality is top notch (I have a signature). I want to say I paid ~41k for it two years ago. Driving dynamics are IMO best in class, but not sure how important this is for you. Third row size is likely the biggest issue but it is similar to the Highlander in terms of third row space. I have no issues sitting in the third row (I'm 5'8 beefy 230lb).
