What vehicle would you buy to drive 85 miles a day in Atlanta?

[Cadcom]

What newish vehicle would you buy if you suddenly had a new job that required an 85 mile round trip commute 3 or 4 days a week in Atl traffic? Nothing with a CVT tranny and would like to stay under $18-$20k and less than 70,000 miles on it. I was eyeballing Chevy Malibus but see GM went to a CVT tranny in 2019. I have not kept up with the latest junk that’s been pushed out the door the last 4 or 5 years so I don’t really know where to start.

Honda Civic or Accord.
Toyota Corolla or Camry.
Easily can get 250k out of them and still sell them later for way more than any GM product.
CVT tranny in the above vehicles are very good and never give issues.

I had an Astro van back in the early 90's....put many miles on it in Atlanta....I think of that, when I think of driving in Atlanta.....

Toyota Camry.

Mazda 3 or cx5 if you want a little more room.

Timing chain instead of a timing belt so that's one less thing to worry about.

Son is currently commuting from Canton to Tech and is getting 30mpg in a '13 CX5.

Good luck in your search!
