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.

acceleration

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.

radio

I like the radio and temp control dials, the great sun roof and the solid "driveability".

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 Nissan Altima

Only been driving this for two weeks, I bought the SR, this car is way comfortable and quiet inside, the acceleration is more than adequate type of vehicle and the gas mileage I’m averaging Highway and city combined about 32 miles to the gallon.

Has lane assist, auto high beams, touch screen radio, power seats, push start, remote start, great handling and power, and surprisingly a smooth ride being a lower end model of the nissans, thus far a very good and reliable vehicle I have no complaints.

fuel

Light ride and great on gas mileage in city limits and highway.

Great gas mileage, nice styling, feels faster than it is with the cvt.

Some of these reviews on here just plain right don’t make sense, there’s zero issues with any Altima I’ve owned and I’ve had all generations, it’s spacious, quiet, mid luxury, a lot of technology and time went into these newer Altima’s and I can’t beat the price, the gas mileage is phenomenal.

mileage

The CVT transmission is so very smooth, my favorite things are the ride comfort the way the car looks and the sLund system.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

phone

Also, the key on your phone will not work if you have an iPhone.

but I cannot use android auto google maps on full screen; for some reason, it shows a sidebar with the Android auto logo, which is a waste of screen space.

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.

navigation

I also think the navigation and back up camera is not as good as the prius prime.

Try to use the map function and it would crash.

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.

small-size

My main complaint for this model is the fuel tank, and if you are doing long-distance travel, you have to stop every 300 miles; it only holds 11 gallons, that's ridiculously small for an SUV.

For a 27k vehicle it has so much plastic that even a small light impact takes out the to low to the ground turn signals.

The biggest con is the small gas tank and range.

tank

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.

The things I like about this car are that it looks nice and there is a satellite camera or at least there is one with the limited model that I have.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Features, style, comfortable ride and performance.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

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.

noise

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

I would find it hard to find a better sounding radio, even with the upgraded Limited ones.

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

2022 Kia Sorento

Very sluggish when I try to accelerate the vehicle just to pass someone.

While there is a "tinny" feeling when you first accelerate, the turbo quickly kicks in and you forget all about the 4 cylinders.

Has reasonable power and acceleration when needed,

The radio set-up, nav, cell phone connectivity are all great.

It rides nice ,we have had 2 trips in it that were over 1000 miles.

It’s spacious, safe, smooth ride, great gas mileage.

Interior is stylish & spacious and the ride is as nice as my Cadillac.

The ride quality is good and overall quality is quite good.

Excellent ride and handling with very quiet cabin.

The ride quality is immaculate to other competitors at this price point.

My step dad has the 2020 I have driven before and always liked how smooth the ride was,

But the driving mileage is why I got this one.

I routinely achieve 4o MPG or better over local roads.

On the positive side:  It drives beautifully smooth, does get good mileage

The mileage is good for an AWD, at 22 city and 27 highway.

This car is very comfortable and quiet both of which are very important to me plus great pick up when needed.

But the comfort of this car is wildly insane.

Inside is very comfortable and well thought out!

It’s so fun to drive and the seats are super comfortable for trips.

The 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty gives me comfort, as does the bumper to bumper 60k warranty.

Very comfortable and roomy (even the third row if you’re a kid!

2022 Kia Rio

The car accelerates well, and has no trouble merging onto highway, even with CVT.

Good acceleration and has a sport mode that effects mpg when in use.

The tech pkg adds disc brakes all around, LED headlights, pushbutton start, NICE alloy wheels, Sirius XM radio, automated climate control, nicer trim, and a TON of safety features such as lanekeep assist, forward collision warning, emergency braking, and more.

Granted we're not talking luxury vehicle here- it's basic transportation with outstanding gas mileage.

The biggest redeeming quality about this vehicle is the Comfort overall for an economy vehicle and the mpg is above sticker meaning I get on average about 44 to 48 miles per gallon depending on the day and the speed I'm traveling on the highway.

Fuel economy on the Kia Rio is better than sticker.

heat/air-control

The cruise control, heater and A&#47;C all work as advertised.

2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

2022 Polestar 2

Acceleration is scary fast--it leaves my Boxster S in the dust!

Outstanding acceleration and ride quality, impressive power.

The dashboard display lacks any customization options, can’t show the current media information, and the car doesn’t even have HD radio or a way to play music from USB.

The Polestar 2 is a thrill to drive and has lots of modern tech, as well as excellent safety performance (except the terrible emergency brake that is way too aggressive in reverse).

The bonus is having huge brake discs and 4 piston Brembo brakes if I ever need them.

leather

The leather seats wrinkle within the first month.

The build quality and finish, especially with the optional leather and wood trim I selected, really make the car feel luxurious.

I had the dealer dial them back to a moderate comfort setting and the ride and handling are sublime.

2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

The sporty body kit was put on with Elmer’s glue and side skirts can fall off at highways speeds and the hood rattles so severely it looks like it may be popped

The interior is dope 👌 and despite having a few hiccups with rattling in the door panels after blarring the 9 speaker 1 sub bose system; i really enjoy the infotainment system.

The hood has a manufacturer's defect, at speeds over 60 miles or if it's windy it bounces and shakes as if it's going to fly off, Mitsubishi's offer to fix it, is by replacing the hood with a new part that has to be painted in a local body shop  this will compromise the integrity of a car, as it's not an original paint anymore and therefor devalues the car, this is considered a lemon and under the Lemon Law Mitsubishi should take the car back and fully refund the buyer.

So many electrical issues, suspension and steering noises, wind noise, hood flutter, stereo problems, cameras problems, power window problems, and Mitsubishi is unable to fix any issue, we’ve been dealing with this since August 2021.

After two three months of purchase the unit began a noise in the internal back as if it were an old car.

Another reviewer said something about the hood vibration.

Electrical issue 
Door panel coming off 
Suspension noise
Stop on middle of the road

Only issue we have ran into with the vehicle thus far is the rattling&#47;moving hood while on highways.

Like the previous review about the hood vibrating at high speeds, took it to the dealership and already had the rubber cushioning correcting kit to fix the issue.

speed

Yes the hood shakes a little when driving at faster speeds

I did find it seemed to be underpowered coming off ramps to merge at highway speeds, again it's just fine in normal mode, or Sport (Tarmac).

If you don't drive at highway speeds and you live where the wind never exceeds 15 miles per hour you'll be in love with this car.

audio-system

It sounds like a window is cracked open and tons of road noise.

The infotainment system would freeze and call people at random.

Would be an even more impressive vehicle if it had an AUX plug for audio devices to be hooked up to stereo system.

but there is NOTHING whatsoever "premium" about this stereo.

camera

This car is like a space shuttle, with all the high-tech features, such as the huge touchscreen monitor on the dash, all the camera assists, drive modes, mi-pilot assist, blind spot detection and even just the way you switch it from park to drive&#47;reverse.

failure

App is unreliable,doesn't always start car, sometimes will indicate it has failed, yet car started.

but the car should be recalled, and the audio system repaired.

In these modes it does a great "giddy up go", and can accelerate impressively, with a deduction in your fuel (from the instant fuel gauge monitoring).

Had to spend over $100 for a decent FM transmitter with it's own AUX plug to transmit my devices music to the car antenna.

Gas milage around 30mpg, interior is beautiful and ride is Great.

After buying the car I had to go on the road trip for work and was very happy with the 30.7 miles per gallon I got with cruise control set around 72 miles an hour on mostly flat highway.

I’m honestly very happy and I love that it doesn’t waste gas.

I’ve put close to 7k on my white diamond black edition outlander, runs very smooth on road handles corners like a pro.It has a very stylish look turns heads everywhere I go, and does really great on gas if you don’t let your lead foot take over.I really love this vehicle and highly recommend it.

Keep in mind it has a very small gas tank so fill-ups will be fairly regular on long distances.

Purchased this vehicle with great gas mileage.

but great for city living with great gas mileage and really great space with all seats down.
