Best vehicle for a family of 4/5. No familiarity with Mazda.

Looking into a new vehicle for the family. I’m wondering if there are any problematic models that I should avoid. It looks like Mazda is highly talented in general, but I’m sure there’s a couple lemons in the group.

Both catalytic converters are clogged on my VW Tiguan. How to proceed?

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited.

Just got a call from the shop and said both catalytic converters are clogged up with carbon buildup. The shop said it’s $1800 to have it replaced (I’m assuming this includes labor). I did a parts search and I found the attached item. Is this all it is? If so, I’m doing this myself.

Gravel driveway stone selection

Been in this home for 4 years and the driveway is rough. It’s 300 yards long and it looks like the previous owner had a mishmash of material laid down… millings, 2a modified, 2b… I’m wondering what you’d recommend having delivered

Side question, what stone/gravel material is the cheapest thing under the sun? I’d like to have that spread around my beehives to mitigate weeds
