Need affirmation! Bought a brand new Corolla cross!

I’ve been looking at hybrid vehicles for almost a year! My commute is 25 miles each way and I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week! Started with wanting a hybrid highlander, only to find it was challenging to find the one I wanted at the right price in a location near me. I looked at rav4 hybrids and plug-ins. The rav4 hybrid is nice but I didn’t LOVE the one I test drove and the plug in which would be my preference due to the efficiency is extremely hard to find/expensive. We also have Honda CR-Vs already so we have cars the size of a rav4, and both are paid off. Then I found the Corolla cross hybrid. I test drove one and loved it!! It’s a bit small for us- we have a new baby and 2 dogs but we tested the dogs in it and they fit snuggly in the back! I just decided to purchase a brand new white 2026 Corolla cross hybrid and I’m nervous! It’s $38,000 and has upgrades at a dealership 5 mins from my house. It’s the nicest car I’ve ever owned and the newest too. having a new baby and job has made it hard to test drive anything or go further then 25 minutes to see a car! So the price might be a little high but the convenience of proximity is important for me. I’m hoping I made a good decision despite the size. Hard to find the larger Toyota models at reasonable prices and both me and my husband are federal employees. Looking to this community for support with my big purchase 💓💓💓💓
