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!

parking

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

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

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.

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.

The turning radius is superb, and I haven't had any issue driving and parking downtown (the backup camera and parking sensors are a lifesaver).

Like the exterior color and interior two tone color, the shape, the headlights and the folding of mirrors while parking the car!

Great vehicle for small family, or a couple as it is not a great big SUV, which makes it easy to park!

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 .

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.

COMFORTABLE and ECONOMICAL and nice size for parking in NYC!

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 Seltos

Also had to replace the Kumho tires with Michelin tires because the tire&#47;road noise was so bad and also there is no noise dampening material in the vehicle so we removed spare tire and Jack and lined with rubber and made it a little quieter.

Road noise is very noticeable and having a conversation with a passenger can be a bit difficult.

Cabin noise when driving on the highway is fairly loud,

This even after Techs from two different dealerships test drove and declared 1) "That is not right" (when he felt the vibration) and 2) described in his report to KIA as "Excessive Steering vibration".

but 95% of the time it is very good and on a windy day you get a little wind noise but not bad for its class, it has nice wide 235 tires with 18 inch rims and is not as quiet as my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland ha ha but it is almost half the price and I am retired now and 29,000 was a good price point for myself.

failure

We're actually considering trading the car off with less than 3000 miles, and we sure won't be going to the same dealership - they brushed off our concerns, screwed up paying off our trade in, and failed to give us what they promised.

sensor

I've had 3 issues with my 2021 seltos,  the first was when I was in Florida visiting my mom,  had approximately 3 thousand miles on it, the fuel light indicator was on, they said it was a fuel sensor,  took 3 weeks to fix, second time ,same fuel light indicator was on again,  had approximately 5 thousand miles on, had it towed to kia dealerships I purchased it from,  they said it was rodent damage and took another 3 weeks to fix, meanwhile neither time was I offered a loaner car or rental vehicle.

The only drawback I can truly say is the front collision sensor doesn't work too well when driving in heavy snow or slush.

The rear view camera is awesome and clear.

The gas mileage is great and I never lose it in a parking lot.

DRL is unique and the parking RL that goes across the front is unique and awesome at night time.

Other than those, I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a small SUV with power, comfort and safety.

Reliable, comfortable, fun, stylish and not outrageous in cost!

AWD standard in the lower model plenty of visibility and confortable on long drives .

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

SMALL ENGINE BUT REALLY COMFORTABLE INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL VERSION OF THE RANGE ROVER.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

Also, because of the safety features, my insurance drop like a stone!! !

Great vehicle, no complaint, best warranty out there,good performance, nice features, safety ,compact color selection  are nice,interior nice features, exterior is great,handed great,  great on gas. .100%recommended

I do enjoy the safety features it provides which I have never had in previous vehicles.

Also went with S-AWD model to get safety features and heated seats.

Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver.

but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

It has all the safety features and amenities I wanted and needed.

but not too big, tons of safety features and I love the look of it.

The trim package has the features I want.

but felt the new styling and mileage made up for those comforts but als picked up some new features such as the automatic cruise control,auto headlights and remote start.So far very impressed with the new Seltos

It has plenty of room for myself and my husband who are average size.

Plenty of legroom for a small CUV good power in the non turbo version and alot of cargo room for a small vehicle .

Car all and beyond very reliable transportation and most of all space room to travel shopping sports gear with the children games and there team

but this is a game changer so easy to handle and the space is wonderful this definitely changed my mind

Perfect for traveling with my family and has plenty of room for all of my grandbabies stuff.

Plenty of upfront room for me which was hard to find coming from a roomy 09 Pilot!

I'm Surprise it has allot of Leg Space as for general it's not the biggest Interior space

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250

Have a lot more confidence backing into a parking space which I usually avoid!

And the Trunk is a lot of space for your groceries are any other items

Like the seating and space inside and appreciate the larger storage space  styling is nice with model year update.

SOOO much more room in the 2021 GLA (minus a panoramic sunroof this time!

So much more interior room in the back and storage!

Love this one even more with the expanded head room.

It has a lot a of safety features like the front and back cameras  and side mirrors showing if too close.

But, my salesperson, Dody Abshir at Fletcher Mercedes in Fremont, CA, was SO amazing and demonstrated so many of the new 2021 features, I had to buy the car!

Yes, it can get expensive with each package you add on.

Have the Premium, Driver Assist, and Multimedia packages, and all seem to be operating well.

It drives smooth and has many great features!

Excellent car
Nice features
With all the features I was looking for
Nice color, top notch rims (black) 
AMG line, Panorama Sunroof

interior

I began to love the brand again, as my interest in BMW's waned due to its very boring interiors.

I have had the car 2 weeks and am still marveling at its performance and handling, technology, style and elegance, and luxurious interior.

This is my 3rd Mercedes GLA250 the 2021 has been completely restyled in exterior and interior!

2021 Kia K5

And from the inflatable pillow in my seat something happened to that and I keep hearing a ticking noise in the back as if someone was kicking the backseat and it bumps a little bit towards the back.

Same dealership took car back due to noise on front end  when deaccelerating.

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

but the car dosent ride as smooth you can feel every bump and lump apple car play always messing up I’ve had to have an alignment and wheel balance they still can’t figure out what’s wrong with it definitely not worth it to me the dealership convinces you to bring it in more money and they never tell you the real problem a rock hit the windshield and the whole window busted only having it 3 months I’ve had no good luck with this purchase it’s always something wrong with this car

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

Comfortable, easy to read dashboard, excellent acceleration, driver assist is great, back-in parking so easy with screen guidance, cross traffic notification great for parking lots.

I ended up getting all the bells and whistes including the GT package with the racing seats, steering wheel, rims, moon roof, stereo, heated and cooling seats and steering wheel and more!!

The console is great has so many goodies not sure how to use them all yet.

The car met all my needs, it’s smooth, has all the features that I need, big trunk, comfortable and has really surprisingly big leg room

Overall, as I rated it all 5 stars for the 6 features above, and it is definitely very well worth it, & I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a brand new Kia.

The Kia K5 is everything I wanted in a car it meets all of my needs and is so comfortable,it has so may options that have exceeded my expectations.

but my first Kia, decided on this when I saw their new K5 (formerly known as optima) when I test drove it I fell in love and this car has more features and more comfort as well as better looking over all than the competition

It has so many safety features that really sold me.

If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5!

It has lots of features, and I am sure there are some that I haven't figured out yet.

The seats in this base model were very comfortable.

What an awesome car, super comfortable, responsive, plenty of power and great mileage.

when I first test drove the K5 I was impressed right away, with the interior styling, ease of entry instrument cluster the seats are really comfortable.

This can is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than my Honda Accord or my BMW 528i.

It has the comfort and gas efficiency of a nice family car

I have the GT line and I love it it’s a fun sexy comfortable vehicle very good on gas and everywhere I go people always complement me I did a few changes

Extremely smooth handling, comfortable ride.

The only thing I haven't been happy with is the type of material used in the interior it collects EVERYTHING!!

but that was for me I change my emblemsAnd I change the color of my interior I love this vehicle I recommend anybody to Lee’s go test drive this car I promise you you’re gonna want to leave out the car lot with it

the overall ride and how quiet it is has plenty of power and the interior is stylish and comfortable and it has plenty of cool tech
