Tiguan will drive best, but also most expensive to maintain. It should be in the same range as CRV and CX-5, give and take a year, where both are better choice than Tiguan. I would take a CX-5 with a 70k+ budget.
The rest of the choices in the poll are junks, especially the last generation ones that you are looking at.
Many people will advise the good old Toyota. Yes very reliable, plenty of spare part. But with your budget every journey is a smell of old leather, looking at faded black plastic, ugly dashboad, old tech, small screen, and no AEB. I don't understand why anyone would want to 'enjoy' ride a like that.
Go for the CX-5, you will be happier every time you sit inside the car.
CX-5 if only 2 adult person + 2 small kids, still ok but If want to travel with family (2 big kids or adults in the back) i will skip that option. Toyota even tho not high tech, but overall family when travel in will not complain much. Comfort level, nvh Toyota consider more better. CX5 only good for driver orientated but not for family, especially the rear seats/space = Mazda weakness.The rest of the choices in the poll are junks, especially the last generation ones that you are looking at.
