I just went camping with this Coleman tent: https://imgur.com/a/7DFGpIy “ Coleman Weatherproof 4-Person Cabin Tent with Screened Porch” I loved it. Wasn’t too difficult to setup alone. Lots of space inside for a 4 man tent. Big windows but able to be zipped up.  Windows allow airflow even with rain fly on it.  It was an upgrade from a Coleman sun dome.  I also have a 6 man Coleman with porch as well for when I take the kids with me and it was easier and lighter than that one. That 6 man one also allows no airflow with the rain fly on. This 4 man Coleman one is the best of both worlds.  Prices on this one are wild. Anywhere from $119-$200 depending on who’s selling it. I got it for $150 shipped.

The Sundome or Cabin series are car camping staples. Great value, easy setup, perfectly adequate for 40-75°F. The ventilation is decent and they're bomber in light rain. Downsides: heavier materials, can get condensation if you seal it up too much. Honestly for your use case, Coleman is probably the practical choice. The price difference could go toward a better sleeping pad or quilt which makes way more difference for comfort.

I’ve used the North Face Wawona 4 and 6, along with a 4 and 6 man Coleman.  The Coleman’s held up surprisingly well. They don’t do as well in the wind or rain though.  The NF tents are a much higher quality though. Thicker poles, stronger fabric, better in the rain, better features.  Something to think about is size. The smaller tents are easier and faster to setup. Plus you need less soft. The Wawona 6 has a huge vestibule/ rain fly. It takes a lot longer to setup, and while I can do it all solo it takes much more time than the 4. My 2 and 3 man backpacking tents are even faster. If you are getting in late and go with a normal tent, smaller is probably better.

I think it will be fine for car camping in mostly campgrounds. I have a Coleman 6p that has held up pretty well for me.

Cabin tent is going to be very large for 2 people. I'd stick with a Coleman 6 person or if you have the Core brand where you're located. Those are just fine for 2 people and gear and maybe a dog if you have one :)

If it’s just going to be car camping don’t spend a ton of money. Just get a basic tent with plenty of space. I have expensive backpacking tents and my car camping tent is a cheap Coleman 6-person. When it dies I’ll buy a new one.

Last weekend we used a 6person Rei base camp for us and the dog and my 12&14 yr old used a Coleman 6p (but is more like a 4person). We all slept better with more room and setting up 2 tents was worth it if you have the space. When they were younger we’d be sardines in a can in that rei tent
