2023 Mazda CX-50

audio-system

THE CROSSBARS ADD TO THE LOOK HOWEVER, THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN YOU DRIVE AT A CERTAIN MILE IS TERRIBLE.

but clarity and sound not great at low volumes.

Terrible AC system that can't keep up with 80F weather!

Don't love the audio and that's about it.

Outdated navigation and interactive system.

acceleration

The turbo engine makes accelerating smooth, and before you know it, you are going 90, and it feels like 60.

Acceleration ok at best given engine size.

phone

I love android auto and the user interface which might be an unpopular opinion,

engine

The base engine is more than enough in city and highway driving.

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

Turbo mounted in the back - behind a motor, makes future service a headache and it makes engine bay super hot.

speed

Its a six speed automatic vs 8 speed or 10 speed like most others make these day.

Very noisy at highway speeds with the 20" wheels/tires.

Even at high speeds, this little truck eats up the curves like a more expensive luxury vehicle.

turn-handling

There were much less body roll when I was twisting and turning in city streets.

2022 Volkswagen Taos

transmission

The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic.

I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome.

The DSG transmission is a very poor choice for this vehicle.

The transmission is a bit laggy from a start

but until the embarrassing 7-speed transmission gets addressed, I wouldn't recommend the Taos to someone.

The only negative comments I have is about the transmission.

but the uneven power delivery is a hazard and I would warn others to avoid the AWD version until a future time when VW either fixes this condition or uses a different transmission in the next version.

lights

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

I purchased this in January and at only 4000 miles has been to the dealer multiple times for stop start stalling, EPC code, check engine light and other electronic issues.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

but at low speed the acceleration can get very clunky, and bad enough to even jerk the vehicle around.

Quick acceleration 
Stylish and beautiful sunflower blue.

The mileage has been great so far, and overall it has plenty of acceleration.

Acceleration is good, not quite a good as my Q5,

Acceleration is not bad, better in Sport mode, ride is good, and handling surprisingly nimble.

The dash/cockpit and steering wheel are the best assets in the S. 
The area to plug your phone has a weird angle that makes it tough to plug into unless you're in Park, the CarPlay continuously disconnects due to the angle and/or hitting a bump disconnects the phone slightly making it necessary to unplug and replug the phone while driving.

I really like this car and find it unique.I trade my cars in frequently and thus one I still like a lot.Looks great with the gloss black rims and I love the wireless Android auto and apple carplay.

ride

but gained AWD, way more passenger space for family and friends and a more comfortable riding position for when I feel like running about.

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.

It has a very comfortable ride (a little on the firmer side) and it handles very well for a CUV.

Nice balance between sportiness, efficiency, noise, & ride.

It's a very compact car, I find that the passenger seat ride is okay - I have a baby-seat in the rear that only allows for so much room in front-passenger seat

It’s a comfortable ride and easy to maneuver.

The car is beautiful on the outside and such a smooth ride.

comfortable

The soft touch makes resting the elbow more comfortable,

Sporty stylish exterior and technology-packed interior with loads of room and extremely comfortable seats.

On our first road trip we averaged almost 42 MPG in great comfort and safety.

Interior is extremely comfortable for 4, w/ lots of luggage space.

but nice, and the seats are super comfortable.

room

I'm 6'6" and I fit quite comfortably inside, plenty of head, leg, and knee room!

Great fuel economy, handles like a sports car and plenty of room on the in the cabin.

but, you should not need to push the seat back for basic foot room.

I'm 6'4, and I have ample leg and head room.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

gear

Reverse Gear warning sound - It is much too loud and sounds like a backhoe backing up.

but at times the transmission seems to shudder into 3rd or 4th gears and almost lurches the passengers forward for a half second, but it's not consistent enough to be checked by the dealership.

The only cons are at very low speeds and very light acceleration it sometimes hunts for the correct gear.

backing

The whole parking lot doesn't need to know I'm backing out of a parking spot.

radio

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

I’m also having issues with the check engine light and the mechanics can’t figure out why.

Styling - especially the front daytime running lights 
2.

Putting signal lights at the lowest point on a vehicle is just asking for trouble.

but it'll give you the acceleration to get you on the interstate without issue.

The acceleration is effortless and I enjoy the dynamic cruise control.

But on the upside, the engine had plenty of power to accelerate and pass, even loaded down.

but it seems to have plenty of pickup when accelerating onto the interstate.

Ontop of that the touch screen has a mind of its own, worked great for 1 month and now it wants to click around randomly, dealer couldn't even be bothered to look at it, the android auto only works via a cable the wireless android auto skips and fails constantly.

Love the wireless car play and phone charging.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

This car has more going for it in technology, comfort, and never feel a lack of power when needed.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

Plenty of power, smooth ride, effortless to drive, and comfortable.

The interior is very comfortable &#38; with the Limited trim we also got the 10" screen.

Otherwise it is very comfortable and has a nice ride quality.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

This Tucson is a much smoother ride than my previous version, and it has the styling that turns heads.

I'm overall very happy &#38; look forward to several years with my new ride!

People have complemented its looks on several occasions and it's a comfortable ride.

but the rest of the SUV has made it a very enjoyable ride.

feature

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

love all the safety features, the car almost drives itself.

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

So many great standard features, it's hard to believe.

For the price, value, and especially the maintenance package and warranty, I would definitely do it all over again.

Have the SEL premium package gas Tucson since November and I love the interior features of the car!

Selected this over the RAV4 mainly for the technology, features, and design.

Wireless CarPlay and all convenience package features are worth it.

2022 Hyundai Elantra N

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL has decent acceleration.

I get to control and monitor the car from my phone, and also operate the car all day without the keys, only my phone is enough.

The best things about the 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL are the styling of the vehicle, the back-up camera, and the infotainment display screen that can show my smartphone GPS navigation screen.

The customization and drive options are definitely made for enthusiasts.

The car has all the features you need and makes driving a breeze.

i love this car it has so many safety features and is such a smooth ride.

Very stylish, great mileage, feels well made and lots of high tech features.

There are a extensive list of safety features coupled with its outstanding warranty makes it 2022's midsized car to own.

mileage

love the look and style of my car it’s very comfortable and fast also great for long road trips best gas mileage.

Great mileage, attractive styling, and comfortable ride.

Great mileage, better than posted on car, feels solid and safe.

fuel

Saves great money on gas and is an excellent car for traveling.

2022 Hyundai Elantra

noise

Seats are very uncomfortable, and the entire interior is made of cheap plastic that rattles.

Bothersome wind noise; haven't realised advertised mileage; and my smartphone that worked just fine in Ford Fiesta will not part with cars Bluetooth system very disappointed I have to buy new phone.

If you are looking for a great car with awesome features, go for the Elantra SEL!

I have most of the modern safety features with a 10 inch touch screen system.

Here are the things I love about it: 1) It gets great gas mileage.

warranty

Best warranty I’ve ever had this is my 3rd Hyundai can’t get enough of them

You can't beat the warranty,value,and beauty.

5) Hyundai's amazing warranty gives me piece of mind.

Yes, especially given the 10 year warranty, 3 years free maintenance and roadside assistance for 5 years.

2022 Subaru Outback

navigation

With my vehicle it was that the voice activation of the nav and search systems simply didn't work.

Unfortunately the infotainment screen is laggy and shuts off randomly shutting down everything except the engine,, safety systems, radio, gps, ac are all used through the laggy screen.

Infotainment can be a little touchy, wish nav used Google maps.

Electronics are consistently awful, from the (not really) voice-activated navigation to the slow, finicky touch-screen that controls nearly everything.

button is almost impossible to find&#47;use. The voice-activated navigation is unreliable - try entering a local address and the system responds "Would you like to navigate to the center of Lenox Iowa?"

Electronics are awful - voice navigation pretty much impossible to use; touch screen very slow to react; some

The infotainment system can be a little confusing (mainly around profile management),

cons: HORRIBLE dash system, get RID OF the Screen!

I really do not understand all the reviews with hatred for the touch pad&#47;infotainment system, in fact for me it is a high point of the car!

failure

Subaru driver recognition works sometimes and in a repair order they say it’s designed to fail.

The electronics are annoying, faulty and poorly designed.

voice-command

The cvt transmission is awful, sucking the life out of the engine.

The Wilderness is quicker off the line, faster overall, with much smoother shifts from the revised transmission, with little body roll compromise when cornering at speed.

The CVT transmission is the worst ever - jumpy, jerky, and unable to match power requirements to transmission gearing.

It accelerates better due to the turbo engine and is more comfortable inside.

And the CVT is not tuned for fast acceleration, its for a smooth drive and to get 33mpg.

You can accelerate to about 20mph, at which point the cvt goes to its highest gear and bogs the engine, putting a stop to acceleration.

but the overall driving experience regarding acceleration, speed, and corning fell short.

The other suggestion was to buy an iphone and link it up to the car's system.

Very safe, comfortable and nice car to drive.

Altho the cloth seats could be more comfortable, love everything else except the car shutting off at stops.

The vehicle was highly rated and is very comfortable,

This is the nicest riding most comfortable car I have ever owned.

The seats may very well be the most comfortable I've ever had in a car.

There are some positives: the seats are very comfortable and the ride is good.

pros: Smooth ride, pretty quiet interior, nice seats, sound system is good.

It rides incredible and handles beautifully too.

Ride is great , gas mileage is 33mpg and Subaru reliability
 Really love this car and we feel so safe in it .

safety

The luxury and safety of the Subaru is unmatched for the price.

you need all the safety stuff because your always looking down.

however, beyond comfort, the excellent ‘safety’ rating was impressive to each of us.

However, I dare you to find another car that offers so much standard safety features.

Great styling, safety features and lots of space for transporting gear or shopping items.

My 2022 Outback Touring with Java Brown Nappa interior is simply the best yet, with Eyesight Technology and all of the safety features, e.g., Lane Keeping, Adaptive Cruise Control & Blind Spot Monitoring etc.

2022 Genesis GV70

tank

The fuel tank is only 18 gal so just under 400mi per fill.

The gas tank is pretty small, only a gallon larger than my previous Honda Accord, and with such a powerful engine, you can get under 300 miles on a full tank which isn't the best.

The only con I can identify at the moment is the fuel efficiency.

Lastly, the gas consumption &#38; mileage isn't the best.

The care drives great and has good acceleration.

Buttery smooth acceleration &#38; down shifts, superb cabin noise isolation, adaptive and smooth handling--it puts it's German rivals that are at and even above it's price range to complete shame.

I found with the cable plugged in, you wouldn't want to put the phone into the charging slot, as it gets fairly warm.

interior

The car is quiet, responsive, comfortable, sporty, gorgeous inside and out, and feels very sure-footed in inclement weather.

I love the design, inside and out, fit and finish is Mercedes quality, and the tech is first class.

Wife loves elegance of interior and sound system.

So quiet on the inside and sound system is great.

I wish Genesis GV70 would offer heads-up display and heated rear seats in lesser packages, like the 2.5T Advanced, and offer the Beige interior with more gloss light exterior colors, like with the Savile Silver or Brunswick Green.

Nice finish inside and out,  and a great bang for the buck.

The interior is luxurious, the performance stunning and the tech element is out of this world.

I have been driving it for a week now and even my family and friends have been impressed with this inside and out.

It has fantastic exterior and interior styling, smooth yet quick 3.5TT engine, and all the bells and whistles to keep you excited to drive it ever time you get in.

The options and amenities Genesis included in this vehicle is amazing.

AND the best part is the safety features!

Especially like the excess of heads up safety features .

But after seeing this car in person and driving it, I think it has more style, more features, more luxury, and more power than the competition.

For the same price or less, I can move into the others and have all the features that I wanted.

This a beautiful and luxurious vehicle with all the sporty and up greated features, as any suv on the market.

Love my 3.5 turbo sport prestige package.

On top of all that it's exceptionally functional: all the safety features you can ask for, it can borderline drive itself, has remote and smart park features, and comes with Hyundai&#47;Genesis' unbeatable warranty and maintenance.
