2021 Kia Forte

comfortable

Very comfortable   Seats and dash has great features.

The ride, the comfort, the safety features, and passenger / driver room.

It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth, had very comfortable seats and is is very high tech!

The car is comfortable and the style is nice looking and the inside is very easy to use overall a decent ride for the money

It turns heads where ever I go and is so comfortable to drive.

Good  for your money and its worth it, drive comfortably

Its comfortable, powerful and handles great.

We love this car, it gives a good comfortable ride.

The Forte is exactly what we wanted, very affordable, comfortable and plenty of room inside for the 2 of us, we definitely recommend the forte! !

brake

No direct injection to carbon up the intake valves, a nice manual transmission and a real hand brake, perfectly simple and efficient.

GT version is fun to drive and turbo engine gas lots of power and very tough with excellent added features like Chrome wheels, gas and brake pedals .

feature

This car comes with lots of good features

wish there were more auto features like seat adjustments,

Also the car looks great with the 18 inch wheels and all the safety features it comes standard on this model.

Great performance and features at a budget price !

mileage

Best mpg has been 43.9 and worst has been 37.5 and that’s all hand calculated.

Meets all my needs just over priced, it has a little better gas mileage and side mirror alerts.

The Kia Forte lx-s is a great compact sedan with good features and great MPG for the price

I get 35-39 mpg and with the rising cost of gas, that is WONDERFUL.

Great car for the money, user friendly, great gas mileage.

Affordable price,  great gas mileage, and all the amenities that I needed without going overboard

Sporty, Handles great, comfortable, good gas mileage!

fuel

That this car with gas prices all over the place you can't lose 😊

I traded a 2017 Hemi truck for this car so that I could see family more often without breaking bank on fuel.

2020 Ford Explorer

noise

It makes noises over an hour after I shut it off and get out of it. Crazy!!

Then it started making a metal rubbing noise apon acceleration,  and now it's giving me trouble in reverse.

There are a few sqeaks and the fit and finish of a $62K vehicle could be better.

Lots of cabin wind noise at 45mph and above.

Sounds so awful and feels like I’m driving a ticking time bomb!

This noise only happens when moving and increases in volume to a point as you gain speed.

Car makes strange noises after you shut it off for up to half hour later when you close any of the doors.

The engine is extremely noisy, I don't understand why Ford couldn't come up with something to silence the disgusting noise it makes.

Grinding noise also at 5,000 miles, Replaced oil cooler.

The passenger door has developed a loud rattle that I can't seem to figure out.

failure

It has dumped the trans fluid 2 times and has had multiple transmission failures and irratic hard shifting.

Our latest issue was an engine light for cold start malfunction that occurred when the vehicle was started in our heated garage.

By 2,000 miles, the backup camera has failed multiple times, the screen glitches a lot, and when the A&#47;C is on, heat will come out on the passenger side sometimes.

Unfortunately my transmission and computer system both failed at less than 6 months of ownership.

.must have been malfunction with lane assist when I didn’t even have it on.

transmission

But there is a huge problem with this transmission and Ford knows it !!!!!!!

The transmission doesn’t slip every day.

but after only 8 months the 10 speed transmission  went out and after 6 weeks they still have not fixed it, it is still sitting at dealership waiting for parts.

4x4 has gone out twice, All sorts of warning lights go off, windows go up and down by themselves, transmission cooler went out, starting to stall, going back in to Ford for fixes

but are experiencing a transmission issue.

The engine transmission is not smooth, actually is very rough, the automatic transmission makes the car jerk while shifting .

but shifting has been a real issue jerking from 1st to 2nd gear.

Yesterday i experienced a major issue with the transmission.

windshield

Like dimming rear view mirror, dimming driver mirror, forward sensing, de-icer wipers, real leather seats (it’s now uncomfortable synthetic).

I was driving down the highway and a piece of the trim on my windshield flew off both sides are cracked they said my car is never been in an accident and I’ve never had the windshield replaced.

Even the Explorer's brother the "Aviator" was difficult to see out the windshield and A pillars.

gear

I can definitely feel the car shifting gears as I accelerate and I can feel a strong enough downshifting as I slow down that I wouldn't expect from a car at this price range.

It’s starting to have issues when you first went from a stop to start where the car with jerk around and then as you came to a stop the car with jerk down feeling each gear to you came to a stop.

If you have the drive mode set to "sport" be prepared to know that the engine will hang onto a lower gear longer than you think it needs to.

Love the colors and interior is very nice and very comfortable

It is stylish and comfortable and gets great gas mileage.

Recently traded over of the 2017s for a 2020, what a difference, comfort, fuel economy, power/acceleration, 10 speed transmission, REAR WHEEL DRIVE now.

It’s comfortable, drives smooth and looks AMAZING. I’m extremely happy with my purchase :)

Most comfortable with everything at my fingertips.

Our Explorer is comfortable, drives very well, gets great mileage and handles winter driving conditions with ease.

This car is super comfortable and love all the features it has to offer!

It is powerful,  comfortable ,safe and reliable.

Still getting comfortable with all of the technology though.

Like the comfort of the seats,  size and gas mileage for a SUV.

Try to start it and the lights flash (all lights headlights and brake lights)

The brakes are weak compared to my last Explorer.

It looks sleek in White, with the Black Rims, and the Red Brake Calipers.

Grocery store runs shouldn’t break shocks.

I notice that lane centering only works when the adaptive cruise control is active; The Brake-hold feature is great too (allowing you take your foot off the brake when at a stop light).

Great car very spacious,drives  exceptionally well.. love on the options in it!

Tow package, 4wheel drive, fuel economy, power seats, heated seats ,steering wheel and much more.

Still learning to use all the features it has .

Great features, love the Platinum edition.

It is a loaded up vehicle with about all the options you can get on an Explorer.

Was a great price And towing package was a plus too.

AWD for off road driving..many safety features 360° blind spot sensors.

I enjoy the comfort, the speed, the control and all the extra options it offers.

interior

It checks a lot of boxes IMO, its nice to drive, been very reliable, very stylish on the outside, and very roomy inside.

Seat massage, leather interiors, heat/cool seats, plenty plugs for my grandkids electronics, heated steering wheel (would love to see the same feature with a cool setting for the steering wheel, that would be awsome), there are more features that I like,

It’s leather trim covers most of the interior and is complimented by beautiful gray wood trim.

I love the look inside and out and all the “bells & whistles” that came with this model.

My only issues with the Explorer relate to the Sync system, and interior trim pieces.

Smooth ride and large interior very nice truck for the money.

family

The transmission cooler failed 1000 miles from home leaving me and my family stranded for days.

Vehicle is good size and will be good getting all my grandchildren in and out of there seats .

The Ford Explorer is perfect for our family of four.

Great family vehicle with useful features and outstanding styling.

The interior has much more room for our growing family.

2018 Toyota Camry

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

but wonder how long it will stay that way. RATTLES.

Mostly quiet some wind noise on the highway Good highway gas mileage.

Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible:  Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!)

but at some speeds there is some throttle lag and I've assumed that is again transmission related, again new it before purchasing.

The only complaint I have is the transmission; I have noticed the car up shifts prematurely to obviously save on gas.

The transmission was wonky and started to slip pretty bad

The manner in which the continuous variable transmission is programmed causes the car to hesitate, sometimes a lot, and other times not at all.After visiting various owners forums, I’ve discovered that this is a very common complaint about this vehicle.

When we purchased it, shift points were grossly wrong.

I wish I took it for a test drive.so far no luck with the dealer ship.tells me that's  how it is supposed  to shift.

the transmission, first off, I hate the 8 speed setup, it is constantly wanting to downshift, it is pretty much impossible to cruise in 8th gear at above 60 MPH, unless you are going downhill.

but I’m rather impressed by the engine and transmission performance.

Transmission shifts beautifully when using it manually, or when it?s left on automatic.

Will occasionally produce a huge jolt when shifting from park to reverse.

Currently have 50k and seems like it 3rd 4th 5 the gear will vibrate bad at 40-55 miles and hour.

except the car isn't changing gears at this point.

Biggest complaint is that car seems to have trouble shifting into gear from as you begin to accelerate from 0- 15mph.

The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible thing.

The get up and go from Toyota?s new 2.5L is surprising to say the least, the 8 speed automatic transmission shifts smooth and doesn?t have issues with searching for gears on inclines like many other sedans I?ve driven.

The transmission is horrible, shifting into higher gears too soon and requiring significant amounts of throttle to downshift and then, only after the transmission ?thinks?

My only drawback is it hesitates a little stepping on the gas dropping into a lower gear.

The 301hp engine while very powerful and responsive at higher gears and speeds, it is unfortunately somewhat sluggish off the line unless manually shifting.

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

radio

The radio does not stay on after you turn the car off, this is a huge deal.

to use radio you have to download and install software.

It is even difficult to tune the radio or to change the display.

I just wish the radio station selection was easier for the driver.

I ASSUMED it came with CD and XM radio..  NO it doesn't!!!

Cons of the car consist of a horrid Entune system that requires your phone to be connected to the car to play pandora/IHeart radio.

Specifically, it doesn't support the following apps, all fully supported by Android Auto: Google Maps, Waze, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Tunein Radio, as well as several messaging, audio book, and podcast apps.

This car meets all of my needs and wants (except for no CD player or SIRIUS radio).

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

I will be comfortable letting my teens drive it.

The adaptive cruise control is wonderful meaning you no longer have to brake and reset the cruise control when approaching slower traffic.

Also, the brake assist when approaching objects greatly improves the overall safety of the operator as well as others.

There are beeps for Rear Cross Traffic, pedestrians, proximity and if the car senses a collision will apply the breaks.

Ride comfort is great, and handling has improved in this model year and it has a direct and sporty steering and break response.

I purchased this car for the safety features: automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, brake assist, many airbags.

When using full speed radar cruise, the car will brake VERY HARD on its own and will get you rear ended if a car is behind you.

This car meet all requirements with less fuel consumption bat break system and nice safety as well and beautiful interior and exterior view  pretty color

I also like the automatic brake sensor when in cruise control.

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

This car has more features than I imagined

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.

but I’m enjoying the drive and gas mileage.

This is the best car I’ve ever owned extremely good on gas mileage I average 37 miles to the gallon and I drive mainly in the city it looks really good.

Next closest was a Honda Insight Hybrid, huge gas mileage, kick in the pants to drive

The interior is nicely trimmed out, JBL sound system is very decent, seating is firm

I hated the way it performed had like a dead spot on acceleration car was very comfortable inside.

Silver white,red leather interior ,black glass roof, a gem of a looker.

I love everything about my new car inside and out!

Great styling, impressive interior, mileage better than EPA estimates which is refreshing.

Quality of interior materials seems good.

2020 BMW X5

Pleasure to drive and passengers are so much in comfort.

The X5 is super comfortable, has a ton of awesome features and is just right for us!

The seats are very comfortable and supportive, even when cornering.

The power, performance, and comfort are best in class.

Power, refinement, comfort and decent MPG, 22 in combined
driving and 27 highway.

1: brand name,  
2: felling driving
3: high technology 
4: the seat really comfortable
5: price is not too high
6: safety when i drive

Also very comfortable and a great daily driver.

The overall driving experience, in conjunction with the interior comforts and safety components, provides a feeling of joy.

driving from Charlotte NC to Cleveland OH frequently you come accross the WV winding roads, driving to and in Gatlinburg TN was absolute fun, certain you can feel the bigger brake disks stop at an instance, drive with confidence.

Steering in spot on, and brakes, for this heavy
of a vehicle, perfect.

It’s comfortable, quiet, has decent power, handles well and brakes like a BMW should.

The X5 is the best combination of features, looks and driver-oriented performance.

handling is awesome features are very nice and this car is wider than old model which handles much better

Technology is A+ - Heads Up Display and Parking Package are MUST HAVE features.

but I feel they lag behind the amenities of the Japanese and Korean brands.

This feature is NOT upgradeable,  so BEWARE of stock equipment when you purchase the car.

This 2020 is greatly superior in ride comfort, features, and handling.

Every feature possible, mint condition and unbelievably fast!

Best SUV I have ever owned and I love the interior!

We love the exterior styling and the interior fit/finish.

I love the interior room and the vehicle is very comfortable.

power

The engine has plenty of power and can challenge any car on the road and exhuberates confidence, styling is great , stearing wheel is so sporty.

Also, the 3.0 six cylinder get great gas mileage and more power than we need.

but after driving both models, I felt the 6 cylinder felt like it had plenty of power.

Beyond all the baby talk, the car is a beast, and there's no shortage of power.

This suv has more power then any of my my past three Lexus.
