With GM cars you often have to pay for the highest trim to get safety features. That means I automatically cross them off my list to recommend for most people. If you can get the Buick with all those features in your budget, then I'd say it's a decent choice. I would recommend that over the Murano. The Murano doesn't have a very reliable transmission, so I would avoid it if possible.
I was thinking a Subaru Forester would be a good car because the visibility is so good and it is offered with all the safety features. It is a comfortable car, too. Check if road noise is too loud.
2017 used CR-V Touring is really a good choice as well. CPO cars give you a 7 year 100k mile powertrain warranty included with purchase for most brands.
