2022 Hyundai Santa Fe

small-size

Within months my small town dealership has had four 2022 Santa Fe's with brake problems.

My only complaint (very small one) is the auto hatch release only works if you use the key fob, door handle lock, or digital key on your smartphone to lock the car.

lights

We learned early on that a front seat passenger can not use a seat pad and have the passenger seat air bag light go off.

This was due to the car burning through half of its oil in a day without any warning lights, without any leaks, and without any suggestion that anything was wrong.

speed

The "Smart Cruise Control" uses brakes to control the speed you set and the distance to the car in front of you.

It works wonderfully keep the distance between you and the car in front of you and setting the cruise control at the speed desired is attained by 1

The Santa Fe’s turbo engine and 8 speed DCT transmission make it a joy to drive.

adjust

The seats are wonderfully comfortable and have excellent adjust ability.

turbo

We bought a 2020 Santa fe and traded it in for a 2022 Hyunda santa fe limited 2.5 turbo best in the world.

This is the 2.5 turbo, 8 gears, very efficient and smooth shifting, and surprisingly powerful when you need to step on it to go quickly.

I took the car on my first road trip this past weekend and I love the passing power of the turbo charged engine on the highway.

Drives much like the BMW without the turbo lag the 330 had.

heat/air-control

All the controls are user friendly and well thought out.

I also really like the Lane Keep Assist feature with the adaptive cruise control.

The layout of the controls in the Santa Fe are the best I have ever seen and far superior to the single screen in the the Tesla.

engine

The XRT is my 3rd Santa Fe an has great look to it with blacked out grill,side steps an black wheels only have it 2 weeks an getting compliment's notice it seems quicker with the 2.5 engine .

2022 Kia EV6

As long as you go the speed limit, the HDA2 will detect speed limit changed and automatically adjust.

Very fast and speed is instant no matter how fast you are going be ready to get thrown into your seat when you punch it!

I was pleasantly surprised to see just how quickly it would get up to speed on the Highway, and it is comfortable cruising local roads.

comfortable

We have taken longish (150 plus mile) trips all around and found it very comfortable and surprisingly fun to drive.

Quite, comfortable, stylish and a dream to drive.

The fit and finish, comfort, and performance of our roomy 2022 KIA EV6 have been terrific.

Car is comfortable, with plenty of room for rear passengers.

feature

The remote park feature is used daily to get the car in and out of the garage.

This vehicle has all of the torque and handling of the Tesla, with all of the amenities of a luxury car.

ride

I have 9500 mile on it and love it ride is great and the handling i fine.The interior is laid out great.

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.

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

Plenty of power to drive whatever speed you need on the freeway.

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

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.

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.

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.

.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.

The first is the transmission, which quite frankly, is embarrassing at lower speeds.

When getting in the car you made it easy to understand how to adjust my seat before driving off.

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.

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

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 Chevrolet Equinox

but my favorites so far are the adaptive cruise and heated steering wheel.

The heated seats and steering wheel are great, climate controls are NOT contained in the screen, and it does NOT have Adaptive Cruise Control (I can't be the only one who doesn't like that!).

Since the beginning I've  had 3 issues, electrical glitch with blindside warning coming on and not able to adjust the radio with the steering wheel controls.

shade

The pull down sun shades.. SUPER SHORT and doesn't block out any sun off your face unless you're a tall person with your head almost touching the top of the car.

roof

I catch my self speeding often because in normal speed it feels like you are moving at a snails pace.

No matter how I adjust the seat I always feel like I am riding on the ground.

My 2022 equinox seems to have more room in the back and it’s definitely more comfortable in the front!

The interior space around the driver and passenger is non-existent.

We have three kiddos and between the car seat for my 3 year old, our 12 year old, and 7 year old there is no room at all!

power

but livable.other from that this isreally nice car good power nice ride , quiet,good looks

I got the Reserve model and for less money than I would have spent on the Escape, I got everything I wanted plus a comfortable, good looking, AWD vehicle.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

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

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.

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.

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.

but for the average driver it feels very responsive and peppy, but do agree that at higher speeds it's a bit reluctant to get going for passing at freeway speeds.

Sounds like you are standing in front of the speakers, and you cannot adjust anything to get a decent stereo sound out of it.

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’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.

Great for trips under 25 miles, no gas needed.

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.

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).

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

This car is very fuel efficient, I been doing an average of 29-32 MPG which is quite similar to my last fuel efficient mirage .

mileage

It handles great, gets decent gas mileage and feels much more luxurious than the price tag, even on my SE model.

Upon further downership of the vehicle I noticed it got 1 mpg better on the highway

It handled well in snow with it's stock tires in Yellowstone, amazingly on highways in the Dakota's with downpour conditions at 50 mph (too scary to even attempt to go faster), and stuck to the road like a racecar all over the Southwestern Deserts UT, AZ, NV, and CA.

As for me, I live in a windy area and drive the 75 mph interstate every time I leave the house.

though the Outlander is a comfortable vehicle to drive, we drove it from Atlanta to Orlando and the ride was enjoyable.

To get everything you want on this ride, in the colors you want is a needle in a haystack.

No bad cvt transmission, almost drive like automatic transmission , big wheels filling more the ride

The handling is good and responsive and the ride is smooth

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

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.

Yes the hood shakes a little when driving at faster speeds

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.

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.

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

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

I truly love this car it rides so smooth and the steering is awesome.

it has a smooth ride and technology in this vehicle is awesome.

It rides Smoothly on the local streets and highway, new luxury updates on the outside and inside, larger than my previous 2020 Outlander, loaded with features such as kick feature trunk release, infotainment system, several drive conditions selections,  panoramic moon roof, 3rd row of seating, 360 and birds eye view cameras, so many safety features to mention.

My outlander sel drives nice and comfortable cabin with luxury very resonable price and not bad for price I recommend buying outlander did take notice hood shakes

Handling, style, comfort, and safety features.

The seats are comfortable and the controls are easy to navigate.

Comfortable, good traction, stable, quiet, handles well and affordable.

Comfortable interior great 4wheel system!

The interior is very comfortable, it almost looks luxurious.

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

but for me it is fine a little noisy but great.

On good roads it is quiet and drives smoothly, there is some Road noise over rough roads,

warranty

Not covered under warranty or extended warranty 😡 cost me 525.00 to fix.

Dealership tells me its in my head about trans ummm ok. and stripping isn't covered under warranty ans pushes it back in.

I have had my new Trailblazer for over a month and just under 1000 miles, it’s has great torque in lower gears and quick take off - I will admit it doesnt have a good passing when at highway speeds.

with the 9 speed transmission and turbocharged.

Fun to drive, speeds up quickly, turns tight on corners and curves, and looks really great interior/exterior-wise.

You hit the accelerator and the power is there and the 9 speed automatic works seamlessly.

I appreciate the ability to adjust the height of the load floor and also how much room there is under the load floor to store items that need to be carried

Gas mileage is better then most cars out on the road.

Gas milage is good, and as someone wrote in an early 
review, the vehicle is deceivingly all around quick.

Mine has 35,000 miles and the fuel purge pump went out!

Bose speakers… lots of cargo space and still great on gas, especially with the prices.

Me and my girlfriend couldn't be happier with our car it's great on gas and has plenty of room for our soon to be family.

Great gas mileage and lots of get up and go! !

The fuel mileage is much better that shown with average 33 mpg in town.

It’s very comfortable and I honestly thought only leather seats were heated.

The Trailblazer has a very comfortable ride!

Comfortable roomy just a great bang for your buck.
