2022 Toyota Highlander

noise

Sometimes I hear noises from the rear when backing out of my driveway when applying brake 
pressure.

I bought 2022 Toyota Highlander, and the rear seatbelt make a very annoying noise while driving on rough road and the dealer told me that I should put the seatbelt back to the clip, and they told me that is how they design it.

Mileage is not what I expected and the noise on the highway is just flat unbearable.

The hybrid version is powerful enough just a bit noisy when starting off and going up an incline.

It feels more solid, less road noise and has all the bells and whistles.

After 30 miles I have a headache from the noise and hard to walk from the cheap seats.

Just bought a brand new Toyota Highlander Hybrid le and have terrible wind noise on both sides in stronger wind and not sure about a smooth ride.

ride

The only reason I give the Highlander any mark over 1 is because it seems to be solid and has a smooth ride.

The console is really solid so resting your arm there is a bit uncomfortable for any type of a lengthy ride.

large-size

I really think Toyota should either make the arm rest in the door bigger or put an actual armrest on the side of the driver’s seat.

but it has auto start, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats, panoramic Sun roof, large screen with JBL speakers and Apple car play.

wheel

There is just not a comfortable position for your left elbow with your left hand on the steering wheel.

Manual steering wheel tilt
The map doesn't utilize the full 12.3 wide screen
Function

The heated steering wheel, also in this model, is mediocre at best as it does not heat the back side of the steering wheel and over heats the front.

steering

rear-view

THE GOOD
Advanced technology with all of the usual safety and convenience features plus a Birdseye camera view and an amazing digital rear view mirror that allows you to choose between the Standard Optical mirror and a digital view from a camera on the rear of the car!

adjust

It just doesn’t adjust to a fast enough speed for my taste.

comfortable

Excellent quality, adequate tech, good economy, drives very quiet and smooth, very comfortable seating, vary comfortable second row captain’s style seating, extra large cargo capacity with third row seating folded down.

We will be putting a fair amount of highway miles on this Highlander and feel very comfortable driving it anywhere without being stranded.

The seats are massive, so super comfortable.

I think the design is a good balance of functionality and comfort.

It’s comfy and drives amazing and roomy and sporty and not a typical mom car as my husband doesn’t mind driving it either ! !

The front seats are comfortable and in this model they are heated and ventilated.

feature

The technology options are too numerous to mention and still learning 
but love the blind spot notification features.

The idea of a self driving car strikes me as laughable when they can’t get this feature to work very well.

A few other options that could have been included with that price point and several options that came with it I will never use!

The panoramic sunroof is awesome as is the stereo on the platinum pkg.

Minor issues that I will gladly live with in order to get all of the other features that I like so much.

It has all the features my previous one didn’t have that I wanted and the price was reasonable compared to what new SUV’s are going for theses days.

All the other features on the XLE are driver programmable and makes customizing the car to your requirements/preferences.

fuel

I love my XLE Highlander my first new one .Very smooth ride.Great look and easy to park ,great on gas.

Smooth, quiet and phenomenal gas mileage.

Update: car came in on time, cleaned and full tank of gas.

For a vehicle this size, with the V-6 engine, it gets excellent gas mileage (30 plus).

As noted by some other reviewers, the gas mileage is just okay.

We have a 2022 Hylander Hybrid Limited and given the price of gas this was a good practical choice.

2021 Toyota Venza

Other than that the interior started squeaking after less than 3 months and 3k miles.

Ride is quiet around town, wind noise on highway.

phone

By the way, the only place you can put your phone without obstructing the view or screen is the vent left to the steering wheel, which is not that comfortable.

If you can operate a smartphone the Venza will not be a problem.

port

The only thing I’d like more in the interior is a little more room where the wireless charging is.

They recommended a trickle charger and to limit multiple short trips (less than two miles) as the starter battery apparently drains 25% of its capacity every time you start the car and you need to drive it farther than two miles to regenerate. Frustrating.

My limited has 12.1 inch touch screen,  Big End JBL with sub, digital rear view mirror, folding side view mirrors,  Electric rear all wheel drive for rain and snow, heated and cooled front seats and all the safety features you can ask for.

I feel so much safer with the safety features, especially with digital rear view mirror which makes the blind spot mirror features not even necessary.

..
Volume, fan, temperature settings adjust easy by just keeping the finger on the touch selection.

Don’t mind tap-tap-taping to adjust sound volume, fan speed etc.

So quiet, inside and out, the interior is plush, and comfy.

Comfort, looks everything you must have in an SUV you will get.

Incredibly comfortable, even for long trips, getting excellent MPG.

I’m averaging 42 mpg, and the comfort in the Venza lends itself to a Lexus.

It is quiet, rides exceptionally smooth, 45.4 MPG, Sirius XM radio, 1st class power hatch, nice wheels, very comfortable seats, nice leather steering wheel, ect.  .  ..

My cons are
The expensive optional paint that chips very easily.

The front seats are very comfortable and I love the ventilated seat option.

Smooth ride, comfortable with great features.

mileage

The MPG was affected greatly by the ambient temperature as the gas engine kicked in to charge the battery more frequently on a cold day.

love the fuel mileage and the style, also Toyota build quality, why buy a Lexus when you can buy this vehicle

This car definitely looks great on paper-
Great MPG- saves you ton of gas money!

This SUV is amazing with excellent mileage.

Beautiful vehicle, smooth ride, great safety features, unbelieveable gas mileage for an SUV of approximately 40mpg  overall.

The gas mileage is fantastic - always over 40 unless my lead foot steps in.

Fuel mileage is around  37 to 38 adding up both summer and winter driving totals together .

Good exterior styling- looks like an expensive high end SUV
Quiet engines, premium features such as stop hold, heated seats (select models), big screens (select models), kick trunk open, parking sensors, climate control.

I bought the LE trim has physical controls not all the great features of the limited

I look forward to discovering all other features!

I got a Limited with the the digital mirror and all the safety features I wanted (which were just about all).

My Venza Limited has very nice interior features with front seats that cool as well as heat, and the stereo is outstanding.

2021 Honda CR-V

tank

Wish gas tank had 1 more gallon of capacity.

This car is a tank in the snow and I can get up the driveway and down the mountain without incident.

interface

The car play interface is terrible and really frustrating 
The mileage is pretty good at about 32 mpg

), the heat doesn't work (15 minutes of warm up and the windshield doesn't even defrost), it is uncomfortable, AWD is not good, CarPlay interface is terrible, high-level of road noise and I could go on and on.

small-size

Forester felt similar to CRV in many ways except acceleration felt slow and cargo space a bit small

If you need an small SUV that’s full of latest gadgets/features even from the lower trims,if you’re looking for fuel efficient rather than powerful engine then this is for you too.If you are a driver that is used of driving power engine cars,this is not for you.I highly recommend to those people who drives 4 cyl vehicles and those who are looking for efficient not super fast cars.So far,i’m very happy with my purchased of this vehicle.

Small gasoline leak is getting into the oil inside the engine.

Super sweet touch screen display,  moonroof, multiple angle rear view camera,  heated front seats.

Being short I could adjust my driving seat perfectly.

It is comfortable to drive, and I feel safe in this car.

All I can say is our comfortable I am in this car and safe I feel.

The styling, handling, comfort and features of the Honda CR-V are top notch.

its so roomy, comfortable, and reliable!!

The 2021 CRV EX is - very reliable and comfortable vehicle.

We chose this car because it is spacious and comfortable for a car in this qqqQeclass.

I love the safety features as well as the lane departure assist and ACC.

The interior amenities are abundant and standard on the vehicle.

Love the smooth ride, color, interior, and all the features!!

It has ever other feature you could want!

There are too many other brands out there with modern high tech features.

but I love the safety features of the EX and they are well worth the extra money.

It includes all the features I wanted and it was simple to navigate through the Honda Link system.

Like the keyless entry and all the safety features.

room

The front cabin and the  back seats are roomy, the cargo space is huge and the infotainment system worked well.

Cargo space and rear legroom is best among the three I test drove(CX-5, CR-V, Forester).

Smooth ride, modern controls and plenty of room.

The truck is very nice beautiful love the room heated seats and the sunroof push start just a nice truck I love it my first truck I ever had as mine

Reliable, plenty of room, stylish, and AWD.

This vehicle as met all my needs and more, plenty of leg room and cargo space to hold any thing you need to transport and I love it

The cargo space is great, and is the main reason I went with the CR-V.

The car has great leg room and storage room in the back.

It’s nice and spacious, great trunk space.

2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid

You would think for 43K it would come with, rear view mirror with home link.

Seats (camel colored) comply and even second row captains chairs lean back and adjust.

It has every safety feature you can imagine.

Some favorite features: hands free and kick free tailgate, just stand behind it.

This SUV has  safety, comfort, performance, and convience features of  vehicles costing many thousands more.

It is a beautiful car with lot's of safety features.

The turbo helps with acceleration and all of the added options make for a comfortable commute everyday.

A lot of safety features that are standard.

And, some of the missing high end trim options.

safety

turbo

The Good Stuff

The powertrain in this Sorento Hybrid is just excellent; I generally leave it in "eco" mode and it drives like it has a normal or turbo 4 cylinder with much larger displacement.

The power from the turbo charged engine will totally surprise you.

Feel the turbo power, very fast to be a 2.5 T. Sporty look.

2021 Kia Sorento

lights

A warning light to refill the inverter coolant is permanently displayed.

Mine was only good for a day before all the safety equipment failed and all the dash lights are on the dash saying nothing is working.

screen

Hate no memory seating (2021), gas  mpg (I moved from old hybrid) and I think the system reaction time on center screen is a little slow between functions.

Does not have heated rear seats,  on windshield display , multiple driver seat selector or  rear window shade.

This car is loaded with features, looks good, drives good, and is very reliable.

The SUV thats just right for a person who likes adventures and also has all the features of a luxury suv.

The technology this car has and the safety rating it has are a great selling point.

And i love the new tech features for safety and entertainment

The Sorento drives amazing and has so many safety features and the car looks beautiful! !

family

All around, a great SUV for a couple like us or a small family.

This car is perfect for me and my soon to be extended family!

I have 2 kids and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

I want the “kids” to have plenty of room in the back and for it to lay flat.

This vehicle  comes with all the features you need, the overall cost of maintenance is inexpensive and is a great size vehicle for a couple or a whole family.

Now we have enough room to pack all the grandchildren in at one time.

stylish, comfortable for long & short drives, does everything that's required for carrying my family, friends & stuff.

This car meets all my needs 
Plenty of room for friends and family 
Storage is also great with the 3rd row seats down
Great so far

2020 Chevrolet Trax

heat/air-control

Cruise control is ridiculous looses 3 to 5 mph going up slight road inclines then breaks as soon as the car gets 2 miles over set limit.

The  pickup and go is really lacking and it does not have steering wheel radio controls(That really should be standard) Its safety, I don't like how far away I feel from the touch screen.

The think that i don't like is that there is no cruise control, it is an option which is ridiculous, at least should come with some safety features standard, as many other Makes do.

The base model does not come with cruise control

My Name is Doris West I’m experiencing the car rolling back whe I take my feet off the brake on a heel.When I’m stop at a traffic light when the light change the car feel like the transmission is slipping it hesitates and gear’s don’t comply it has a hard shift while taking off.I took it to the dealership last year they said nothing was wrong.I’m making an appointment to take it back until they something about it.Don’t want the warranty they run out.Thank You For listening.

Only downside I see so far is the different headlight covers from the LT and Premier.

The gas gauge is absolutely ridiculous, theres a bar of lights instead of a normal reading.

I like it till check engine light comes on at 17,000 miles and it says misfire and GMC is saying all know we can't reproduce a problem so that we don't know what's wrong why does everybody depend on a check engine light what happened to real mechanics

shifter

Also, there is NO storage console behind the shifter between the front seats to store stuff.

cruise

but maybe should and the next level up should have the better adaptive cruise.

I lease and this vehicle meets my needs  I especially like the rear view camera when backing up

Rear seat headrests further limit rear view.

Very easy to adjust back seats for hauling supplies.

It gets great mileage, and is so comfortable and roomy!!!

The Trax is comfortable and great to drive.

It has more space and it's very comfortable, even for my 6'5", 300 lb husband.

The car is comfortable enough and gas mileage is good.

I was impressed by the smooth drive, comfortable,

When you know how to drive 6 speed tranny, it keeps up with most cars,  long trips comfortable

but its peppy great on gas in short what i wanted and am happy with it

Fuel mileage is as lackluster as the output of this failed endeavor and dependability is a bust.

It has the get up and go I want and so far it’s great on gas mileage.

its easy riding and good on back roads its not a noticeable car so cops wont follow you as much and also it rides great extremely good on gas.

This SUV is great on gas has plenty of leg room comes with weather protection pads love the keyless entry and the push to start.

but still great on gas and I really like the color and the black emblem instead of the standard gold emblem

I have plenty of room to haul stuff when I need to.

I may need a wheelchair in my near future and I have enough room to transport it.

I have plenty of room for my 5 yr old and myself

I also always laugh when people complain about cargo room in a COMPACT SUV.

This car is nice for compact suv plenty of room I got the LT which has some of the nicer features, leather edged seats power windows, keyless entry remote start, power and heated mirrors, led headlights, added removable shelf in the hatchback.

Great big, little big car, leg room, comfortable adjustable seats, lots of luggage space, parking great, AWD best maneuverability, But Cheap side convex mirrors for blind spot, very reliable, well designed.

2020 Ford Escape

Air annoyingly whistles in the doors, and any asphalt or alternative road surfaces cause extremely loud noise in the car.

As I drove away from the dealership I noticed a very distinct, very low vibration sound.

I like the car EXCEPT for the vibration that I feel when I drive normally and am not accelerating between 1000 to 2000RPM (speed start to over 60MPH.

Unfortunately,  4 days into driving it began having a very noticeable creaking sound upon the vehicle coming to a stop and leaving a stopped position and you can also hear it when driving sometimes and turning.

The only thing that sucks is the wind noise or as Ford calls it, the sound of turbulence I hear while driving over 50MPH on the driver's side.

Several issues like on going drivers seat noise, back hatch door has almost closed on us, computer has rebooted on I4 at 75MPH, sun roof needed adjustments, seat belt harness is coming apart, cruise control does not engage. .

engine deactivation system, it sucks with excessive vibration which is worse than driving a Model "A" What it needs is a software shut off switch for the deactivation.

Brakes make loud rubbing noise when applied in reverse (Ford says there's nothing wrong with that).

Car has the 3 cyl eng..would not recommend it to anyone..has vibration in high gear on highway like it is underpowered.

Other pluses over Rav4, the power lift gate is literally twice as fast, the screen clarity is significantly better (including the backup camera), radio sounds better, Sync 3 is a better software than Toyota’s, fog lights are LED, passenger seat is power and has height adjustment, door armrest significantly more comfortable, kick open lift gate more responsive, cabin noise noticeably better (especially engine noise), driving position is better, higher safety rating,  and transmission is light years better with smooth shifts as the Rav4 felt like a CVT.

speed

When I press gas pedal slightly to speed up when going into a higher speed limit area, I keep pressing more and more (slowly) and it finally responds, usually with a hard downshift.

We guess it’s due to the less effort the engine needs to work to get to speed where the Rav4 worked hard to get up to highway speeds.
