2022 Ford Maverick

audio-system

Fords ordering system is the worst thing I have ever seen.

When I roll four passengers deep, everyone has plenty of space for ergonomically correct natural resting positions (they don't have to contort and twist to fit for the ride), decent audio from the base factory radio, a place for their small personal belongings in the convenient door pockets, convenient cupholders for beverages, plentiful and easily accessible ports for charging their phones and tablets, and - to top it off - in-vehicle WiFi (which has excellent bandwidth in my area - only &#36;25 a month through AT

The EV sound is annoying, since they forgot to add any insulation from the factory, it's loud.

The hybrid sound is too loud,
The horn makes more noise in the cabin than it does outside.

noise

The only issue so far is a clicking type rattle in my dash that only happens on certain slow bumps in my neighborhood, once I am on the highway it goes away. Strange.

My first impression during the test drive was that nearly everything about it seemed well-refined for the price point except for the engine noise.

The Panels all rattle
The dash rattles
The Gas engine is loud and unrefined
The Hybrid brake system was an after thought..

port

Ford needs to eliminate the small storage compartment on the right of the screen since it is useless and in my view eliminate the electrical outlet in the rear seating area to be replaced with an AC vent.

phone

The only thing you have to move eye focus to is the touch screen radio--unless you have your phone connected and can just use CarPlay to do everything.

brake

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

classy

fuel

Ford has something, as 2.5 liter 145 HP, along with a 40 HP electric means very good unexpected fuel economy.

Overall happy with the performance and gas mileage (34mpg).

A fun, very fuel efficient and sporty little truck.

I get all the perks of having a truck, and 41 miles to the gallon.

So far, I am impressed with the little truck. Fuel economy is on par with what I was getting avg in my fusion (usually 40 - 43 mpg.)

but prefer the power,  smoothness and better fuel economy of the premium even though 87 is the recommended fuel.

It gets amazing gas mileage,
Everyone looks at it..
Cons:
Build quality it appalling,
It’s useless on a highway, you’ll need miles to gain enough speed to pass someone.

The ride us much smoother and quieter than the Tacoma it has replaced and I'm using less than half the gas.

All my friends are envious of what it takes me to fill up at the gas pump$.

The fuel economy is amazing and the interior space is great.

mileage

but the dealer was able to take care of them  it delivers great MPG, of 45-50, around town, 32-34 on ths open road.

First edition carbonized gray
Mileage after 7 months of driving is 22 mpg.

It is so nice to get 40 plus mpg daily and run to the hardware store and pick up a load of mulch or haul bicycles and never.

The aerodynamics of the vehicle means you blow all over the place over 70mph
Highway MPG is less than the GTI i owned and that was way better built and more fun to drive.

It’s comfortable, easy to drive,  surprisingly peppy, and I am getting 43 MPG.

Very impressed with the mileage, as about 60% was freeway driving, and I still averaged like 44mpg!

Went over 120 mph on the freeway, very sturdy! Ps.

infotainment

The vehicle info and computers can keep you up to when properly set.

ride

4 can ride nicely,back seat has just enough room.

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

the vehicle is fun to drive the ride is smooth and the build quality seems to be very good, no squeaks or rattles.

It rides great, accelerates just fine, and has more than adequate room for 4.

the truck rides great, it's very smooth and extremely quiet.

The ride is much better than my 2019 Civic.

Solid, roomy,  great performance,  nice smooth and quiet ride for a pickup.

Enough room for a 6'1" man at 260 to enjoy driving or riding in the Maverick.

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.

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.

Mitsubishi made the interior very classy and clean, &#38; the exterior looks amazing as well, especially with the word  'outlander' written above the grill&#47; frontof hood.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Nice addition to the vehicle, and seems to always be monitoring in the background even if using Android Auto (which I used most of the time, as I like the maps, and programmability of it better than maps that come with any vehicles).

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.

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.

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 PHEV

Great for trips under 25 miles, no gas needed.

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.

Great looking car, classic clean VW look.

It's well balanced, frugal on gas and has good enough performance to make it easy to live with.

but much better MPG & regular gas vs. premium.

Great fuel economy, handles like a sports car and plenty of room on the in the cabin.

The handling and increased gas mileage is superior.

On our first road trip we averaged almost 42 MPG in great comfort and safety.

I love the car and just got 39 mpg on a recent 60 mile jaunt.

The mileage has been great so far, and overall it has plenty of acceleration.

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

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.

2022 Chevrolet Blazer

Brake system has a known problem and started to have grinding noise after 400 miles on it.

I just wanted to see if anyone else with the 2022 Blazer 2.0 Turbo have a loud engine noise at idle
sounds like some kind of metal  is rubbing to me.

This SUV is sporty and classy at the same time.

Average fuel economy for me has been 19 mpg.

I have the V6 which has more power than you'd ever need and runs on regular fuel.

It's performance is really great and the mileage is 27 on the highway.

turn-handling

Handling is really good too and the Blazer comes with a ton of safety equipment which I think is great.

The Blazer handles well on the road, has an acceleration that keeps up with other SUV's in its class, and has a comfortable ride with plenty of room for all.

The car handles very well, am very please with the driver convenience package and the safety features.

2.0L turbo is pretty nice to drive especially with very good dynamics and handling of the car body.

2022 GMC Sierra 1500

Leg room in back seat is tremendous.Seats are both classy and comfortable.

The 3.0L Duramax is one the, if not the the most, efficient engine in terms of performance and fuel mileage.

Gas mileage is about what you would expect from a truck of this size.

Great for towing, handles well in the snow, engine runs flawlessly and gets phenomenal mpg.

Fantastic infotainment screen and a much welcomed interior improvement.

I've owned both 2021 and 2022 AT4's and the 2022 seems to be a better ride and experience.

It is one of the best riding vehicles I have ever owned.

The ride of my Denali is equal to luxury cars I have owned.

2022 Mazda CX-5

heat/air-control

I myself prefer a touchscreen over the knob control and it does lack a hands-free lift gate and a real remote start (hate the app-only remote start!).

I got leather seats, AWD, blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, heated seats, dual climate controls up front and leather wrapped steered no wheel and shifter all standard.

gear

I believe the transmission gearing could and should be modified to accommodate the lack of horsepower, and the lack of horsepower and poor MPG experience are honestly my only complaints.

but definitly for me - Also , worth a second mention , most suvs in this catagory have CVT transmissions -  Continuously Variable Transmission -   in other words , it does not have stepped gears , its like stepping on a sponge , not crisp and they try to trick you with CVTs saying you can use it like a regular transmission -  bs &#47;.

The interior (white parchment) is very classy with plenty of accessories and features.

Otherwise I do really like the car and the fuel mileage is better than what I used to get in my Rogue.

To find a real gerabox ( NOT A CVT ) and a high compression gas combustion only driveline with it .

The turbo is a bit thirsty and I only get 19 to 20mpg in the city and 22 struggling on the highway, It’s time for Mazda to be able to get better mileage with a modern turbo like other manufacturers, end of the day go for it it’s a great SUV!

Freeway mileage is as good or better than EPA sticker estimates.

I am getting about 26 mpg which I am happy with and the headlights are the brightest I have ever had.

A simple usb cable allows you to project your phone on the 10.4” display.

interior

I love the color, step in height, the look, the interior, the exterior.

Best and transmission is normal excellent interior is very luxury for the model, excellent quality interior and exterior, recommend for family small, motor is high performance in sport drive mode

The interior is design and seating are sweet, the ride even and the handling are sweeter yet.

Love the red leather interior and all the options it came with.

Comfortable with a great interior and the driving experience is great.

The styling is excellent, the interior reminds me of an Acura or a Lexus, and the car is definitely a drivers car.

2022 Audi A4

Best in class warranty, classic styling and the 5 star safety ratings sealed the deal.

No buyer's remorse here, overall very impressed with handling, tight steering, suspension and its' excellent gas mileage (almost 30mpg).

My favorite aspects about this car is the virtual cockpit, the leather seats&#47;stitching, the touch display simplicity, Safety systems-ABS&#47;ESC&#47;LDW&#47;TPMS, 19" rims, LED headlights, bluetooth, etc.

2022 Cadillac CT4

This small Cadillac is very modern looking, yet it inherited the subtle, classic beauty of its distant relatives.

Most of my driving is local and the car has been consistently averaging around 25 to 26 MPG on premium gas (which is recommended for the CT4).

comfortable

Seat adjustments are comfortable and work well, even fitting a short person like myself.

Performance, and comfort is seriously lacking!

2021 Honda Civic

Doors feel cheap, too light and plastic; very NOISY inside car - can't hear radio when driving 55 mph.

Plus it’s already vibrating at idle and it only has 30 miles on it’s

Rattles everywhere, poor exterior paint quality where they chip very easily, the 1.5 engine mixing oil with gasoline which damages the engine, the seats are pretty uncomfortable on longer trips, etc.

Classy look with nice interior design inside.

I, bought this car just to get good gas mileage and to have a nice car that is low maintenance cost.

No navigation, unless you plug your cell phone in using a USB wire.

I love the car and the best part about it is the heated rear seats for the kids and Honda returned to putting knobs on the radio.

It has a really nice infotainment system.

Plenty trunk room, confortable to be driven everyday, great interior quality, nice looking wheels, nice screen size, apple carplay and good sound system with 8 speakers

These car's are very nice and comfortable.

Comfortable seats and a nice interior design.

I, like the leather steering wheel, and having heated comfortable seats.

Reliability, style, and comfortable seats.

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.

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.

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.

If your looking for a classy looking CUV with great gas mileage, go test drive a Venza and make your decision based on your experience.

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
