2022 Acura MDX

tire

my 18 tlx a-spec V6 had zero 80,000 trouble free miles the only thing I replace was batteries and tires.

but it controls engine and wind noise so well that you hear a lot of droning tire noise which gets annoying.

What I don’t love is the crazy amounts of tire noise on some surfaces on the OEM tires.

The Bad: Tires are louder than they should be.

radio

The radio will just stop working for no reason.

So when I am a passenger in the car, I can not use the phone at all, otherwise the XM radio turns off (I’m not trying to play any audio or video on the phone, just checking email will turn off XM).

battery

I ended up disconnecting the battery to do a hard reset and it seemed to work fine after that.

Nothing would get it to open again except disconnecting the battery and trying again.

The auto heating and cooling is not so great with comparison to my 2016 highlander

Either way, very cheap vent parts that will definitely break off if a knee hits them sliding in/pushing on them from the middle seat.

attractive

I think the car looks beautiful and modern inside and out which is why we bought it.

This car is beautiful and its rides excellent .

- Panoramic roof is gorgeous 

Cons:
- Gas mileage isn’t that great,

It drives like a dream and is a beautiful car, inside and out.

The car is drop dead gorgeous and I’ll put mine up against MB or BMW.

From the exterior to the interior to the beautiful technology that now has been inputted, I feel lucky to be ‘driving the future’ in my 2022 black on black Acura MDX Advance Package car!

power

it has enough power to haul family around and no issues on highways..

Plenty of power and transmission shifts like

While I miss the gas mileage @5-27 regularly, and overall power of the Hybrid (it was definitely faster) I LOVE the ride of my 2022.

Initially, I had test drove the Highlander, Lexus HX350L, Subaru Ascent and this MDX model was the most enjoyable to drive for comfort and engine power.

ride

Wife has a 2017 MDX and the '22 has a significantly upgraded interior with all the latest technology, while improving on the ride and driving experience.

As for handling and ride, Acura has always excelled,

The ride is super smooth and reasonably quiet.

Purchased a 2022 MDX Advance SH-AWD a week and half ago and I have to say that this is by far the most comfortable ride I have been in.

Cabin is very quiet, comfortable ride, and tech is great for the segment.

I love the technology, the ride, the looks, and how practical the cargo space is.

comfortable

The seats are insanely comfortable, excellent for highway cruising or around town.

but also performed great, comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

We want to feel comfortable driving anywhere in any weather.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

It’s plush, comfortable, and feels solid.

interior

The interior (with the exception of all the piano gloss black trim is stellar).

The leather interior is a big improvement.

I really do love the look of the car inside and out.

Interior mood lights pretty cool and the headlights and fogs are very bright.

A Hyundai Tuscan has a nicer interior and better tech than this.

We really like the new aesthetic redesigns on the exterior and interior--dramatic improvement.

I think they could have done a better job of creating interior storage for small items.

The pros to the SUV is it looks nice from the outside and it looks great on the inside.

2022 Genesis GV70

fuel

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

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

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

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

3.5T Sport Advanced in the most gorgeous matte grey.

Bold new design, beautiful style, outstanding comfort, great performance, cutting-edge technology &#38; class-leading warranty (+ extended lifetime drivetrain warranty at no additional charge through high-volume dealer).

The styling inside and out is unique and beautiful.

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.

but I didn't want to pay the extra &#36;&#36; for the 3.5T when the 2.5T has plenty of power and better MPG.

Car is outstanding in every aspect - Power, Looks,Performance, Technology, Fit &#38; Finish.

The power from the 3.5 twin turbo is smooth, sneaky fast and coupled with a good 8 speed transmission always on point.

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.

feature

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

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.

The tech package that is included is phenomenal compared to the other high end luxury brands.

This car rides smoother is whisper quiet, has driver assists that is seamless, and very adjustable.

The tech surpasses what’s currently available in a Tesla Model Y (which is what I was cross shopping it with) and the ride quality is as smooth as SUVs that cost 90k+.

2022 Kia K5

This one being beautiful and AWD made it a no brainer.

My 2022 Kia K5 is beautiful and such a great car.

The panoramic roof is beautiful and the rear seat has tons of room (it sat my 6’2” brother just fine).

The tech, the power, the comfort and panoramic roof.

though I only got the 1.6T, it has plenty of power.

but am glad I chose the luxury over "power" because the take off power is great and that is very important to me.

but the features that the EX with the package gave are outstanding.

The K5 is fun to drive has some awesome features like the cruise control with stop and go!

I've had this car a little over a month now and I keep finding features that make me fall in love with it all over again!

The K5 is sleek, handles very well, has amazing safety features, and is fun to drive!

Accessing frequently used features, quickly, is just not “common sense” and I am very technologically sound!

I ended up get the blue one as picture its a nice blue metallic and going to be a great car for a long time, I will definitely enjoy this car for the next 10 years no problem.

Also, I was equally impressed with the comfort of the seats and spaciousness of the back seats and trunk area!

I immediately felt comfortable in this car.

2022 Nissan Pathfinder

noise

In the first week of ownership I noticed the Infotainment was extremely laggy and slow and the driver side view mirror glass had a constant vibration while driving.

- Lights in the cab don't work right
 - 4 or 5 open recalls 
 - The console in the vehicle is slow loading or changes setting on its own
 - Knocking noise coming from the carriage..

Once you turn up the volume on the radio, you hardly notice any road noise.

transmission

The transmission is smooth in shifting and there is very little lag when I are coming off of a red light.

The 9 speed transmission shifts smoothly even at low speeds.

Also, the Shift Auto Idle keeps going back to on- on it’s own, even if turned off within the settings it still turns on, that is annoying as when you come to a complete stop it jerks/pulls and then bam it’s on auto shift idle again turn on by itself.

screen

On 8/3/21 the control screen stopped working.

Very very annoying and not easy to disable as you have to scroll through multiple screens to turn off.

turn-handling

- Went to turn windshield wipers on and the rear wiper fell off

I am pretty sure they rushed this vehicle out and now who knows what else is going to go wrong.

I wish they would alow you to turn it off by default.

It's not on a truck frame so it doesn't handle like a truck, and it does not have a CVT like last generation.

Thank you Nissan for this beautiful redesign of this vehicle.

There are some thing similar like the V6 engine and the power train

Accelerated nice through the mountains of WV and VA, no power issues.

family

I would never allow my teenager to drive on the interstate with it for that reason alone.

Cons- No 2nd row bench in higher trims, so I had to settle for a lower trim to accommodate my family.

Take this bad boy on road trips and you forget what you are driving.

But it's so easy that my toddler figured it out.

Did extensive test drive of MDX and Pathfinder and finally settled on Pathfinder for touch screen, cheaper has (regular bd high grade gas with MDX) and lower cost.

Pros is the gas mileage is much better than my 2010 at 17mpgs
Third row nice
Price was decent for 4wd sv

The ride Is quiet, it handles well, it has plenty of power to pass(throw into sport and it will show some more power), and the gas mileage is good for the size.

Drives well; electronics fairly easy to learn; comfortable seats; good gas mileage.

Good on gas , managed 11.5l/100km in eco mode, kids love the captains chairs.

Overall, it’s a great gas saving car if you are looking for something midsize gas saver.

If style, 6cyl, regular gas, towing,  technology, 7 passenger room, and value is your goal, you can’t beat the new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder.

but not least, the safety brake feature is responds too slow and the speed is like driving on cruise control, not high powered.

This would get a very nice SUV only if Nissan would have done a better job with the new tech features.

Initially, the tech, platinum features, size, design, etc were enough to win me over for the price point at right under $50k.

Neither our 2015 Acura RDX nor our past Hyundai Santafe sport had this feature or was really effective in snow as much as this car.

Traded in our 2018 Pathfinder SL
The new 2022 model checks all the box's
It is quieter it still has the very  strong v6 
We moved up to tha Platinum edition with 4x4 and it is fully loaded
We are extremely pleased with the total package

Towing package is a part of Premium Package, because of this, instead of costing $700-800, you gotta cough up $2100. 2.

2021 Mazda CX-5

Feels like the motor is winding while the transmission waits too long to up-shift.

I also find the engine noisy under acceleration with transmission shift hesitancy and roar.

The transmission hesitates and thumps (in lower gears), making cornering, stopping and starting terrible.

The main problem is the automatic transmission.

but the transmission .it some times shifts hard .

The BMW drives like a dream with a smoother transmission and ride, much better build quality, has a light interior, a panoramic sunroof, and a bigger gas tank with better gas mileage.

Not as good as we had hoped, I could change gear in a manual gearbox car quicker than this car changes, also for the money not at all good value, sad to say we are already talking about changing it for something else.

My only complaint would be the budget tires they use.

The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated.

Wind noise while driving with windows down very irritable, Gas mileable ok

but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further.

How could I buy a vehicle I don't find attractive?

It’s classy, reliable, attractive and a steal at $30k.

great handlng ,good safety features,beautiful red color,quick,smallish back seat,fair fuel economy

Awesome ride and beautiful inside and out

The Mazda CX-5 CE is a beautiful car with luxury and performance .

Pallette of exterior colors not very appealing.

The design exterior design is very attractive with a slight agressiveness to the front grill. Nice.

The ride is very comfortable and the turbo provides enough power to be taken seriously on the highway when merging or passing.

I love to power into corners and feel the rear-wheel steering adjustment improve the tracking is wonderful.

The power is fantastic, the ride is soooo much smoother , and the build quality is in a different universe from the GMC.

The Turbo 4 has plenty of power and can run on regular fuel.

This car has ALL THAT and enough power to pass on highways.

I purchased a red touring, beige interior with AWD, and the 2.5 187 HP power plant.

This car is spacious for a small family of four to five and convenient to drive and there is a lot of horse power when you needed

Has excellent design inside and out, plus fabulous power and reliability.

The CX-5 has plenty of power with the standard engine.

but I found the regular engine to have plenty of pep and power.

We like the stability of the AWD, the safety features, the responsive steering and the seats.

I’m absolutely loving my cx-5, there are so many safety features and it’s purely luxury

but gained a multitude of safety features, gas usage reduction  and it is as much fun to drive as the Acura.

but also tilts side to side, making selecting options easier than a touch screen.

The high tech features are a continuing irritation.

Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features.

This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I really like the cylinder cut-off feature.

I purchased this vehicle mostly based on its safety features,

The CX-5 Touring is recommended by Consumer Reports, is comfortable, quick and economical enough without the turbo engine.

At a glance, it’s very polished and riding around in it is plenty comfortable and seems luxurious.

The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Comfortable, packed with tech & safety and stylish.

but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

The interior is upscale, the exterior is classier than the competition.

Mazda cuts corners with tech (especially) and cheaps out on some finishes to give you a 4-turbo and "soft touch" interior.

The interior seems plush and refined compared to other models

It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market.

I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

Looks very classy and I love the interior of the CX5.

The interior design is very luxurious for a car that is inexpensive.

2021 Toyota Highlander

Go online and see how many people complain
About rattling noises with Highlanders !

Buyer beware don’t let the salesman crank up the AC or heat to try and drown out the terrible whistling noise that occurs between 35-45 MPH on 2021 Highlander.

Brand new 2021 with ONLY 800 miles, every time i drive on barely rough roads i hear rattle and buzz noise from driver side, dash and passenger side, also wind noise on 40MPH!!!

Replaced front hood molding, placed weatherstripping under the hood molding and whistling noise continues intermittently.

Been back to the dealer X3 already due to whistling noise stemming from front hood molding.

When I asked the dealership why mine was noisy and her car was not, they told me to bring it in and they would check it out.

Perhaps Toyota will do more in their vehicles to isolate road noises.

but uphill driving around 90-95km/hr the car is vibrating.

but i may get over it , fit and finish not very good , you put that volume up things are shaking and squeaking again something i don’t expect after spending all that money , 8 inch screen and backup camera are bad like graphics !

My brand new 2021 Toyota Highlander has very bad wind noise specially 40 mph.

windshield

A few days later it was raining lightly and now I noticed the intermittent auto sensing wipers no longer worked.

Also the limited Highlander is lacking auto wipers and thigh extensions found in my previous car of the same trim.

In addition, adhesive on the front windshield panel is starting to peel off.

The windshield has some reflections of the dash if your facing the sun.

lights

Just picked up a 2021 Platinum a $63,000 vehicle and didn't even get it off the lot before I had a warning light about faulty brakes.

They have a very harsh line on low beam that makes it a difficult to see in certain situation like when I am driving down hill on an up and down place in the road.

The car has a 12.5 inch navigation and radio display system.

however, with the radio on even at low volume, you won’t notice it at all.

The noise in the cabin at speeds over 55 mph are so loud even the radio is unable to cover the distraction of the tire noise.

Beautiful ride roomy and comfortable fits 6 people big trunk I recommend it to any one wants a beautiful big family car all my Friends and family loves my new ride
