If you're getting a 2023, wouldn't all the inventory you're potentially looking

at be either former rental cars (driven as such), cars that had some sort of issue and were returned, cars driven by the owner's wife, or (the best case scenario) cars that were repossessed?

I am just going to start looking over the next couple weeks possibly. I am just narrowing down the direction I will go on.

drive. My BIL and SIL had a CX-9 and loved it and miss it. TL;DR - Mazdas can be fun to drive.
APM himself owns a fleet of Toys - Camry, Sienna, Corolla, Prius. Reliability-wise, you will never go wrong with a Toy. I would look for a hybrid RAV.

Got out of the market for a car 16 months ago, and knew what I was looking for

well over a year before that, so I haven't bothered to keep up...but what I do know is that the Honda Accord is a good car but it's a car. I don't want to sit that low in my everyday driver or on long highway trips. RAV4 is a good car and a little taller, but it was much smaller overall than I wanted. I think they're generally pretty bulletproof and last forever though. The Mazda CX9 would be my choice of the three, it's a good everyday driver but a good long-distance cruiser as well. They're zippy, quality-made, and maybe one of the best combinations of sporty driving and SUV size and stance. Coming from a Mazda CX5, the CX9 was on my shortlist before deciding on the Nissan Armada. I wasn't commuting to and from work so gas mileage wasn't an issue, I just wanted the big safe comfy highway cruiser. That said, pretty sure I would have been happy with the CX9 if I'd gone that route.

I like the CX9 a lot. I was a passenger in one recently and that's why I grew to like it.

runner up. Excellent reliability ratings, safety ratings, and resale value but just slightly smaller than what I had in mind, this the Armada. If I was still working and had to commute, I probably would have gone that route.

Mazda is better looking and more fun than the Rav4 (assuming you're okay driving a Mazda).

Toyota RAV4, Honda Accord, or a Mazda CX-9?

My order would be:
Honda Accord, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-9.
But the Honda and Toyota are both good pics.
Kind of depends if you need the SUV space. If not, and a sedan is fine, the Honda. If you need an SUV/crossover for space, the RAV4.

Can't go wrong with any of those choices.

Sedan versus two SUVs should allow you to easily narrow your choice to either 2 choices or 1. Unless you need the extra room of an SUV, if the Honda is the cheapest option, that's the one I'd consider.
But, I have friends who've owned all three of those cars and they all seem happy with them (or at least, I haven't heard complaints) so it probably comes down to the individual car and deal you can get.
