2021 Kia Soul

comfortable

The seats are the most comfortable I have ridden in.

Back seat is comfortable and leg room is great.

As with all the Kia Souls style since it debuted, the 2021 Soul is  stylish, comfortable with lots of leg room and great on gas.

gear

Gears 2-6 are great, 1st gear has to be the WORST gear-range of any manual I have ever driven.

room

The inside of the car has a lot of head space.

This car has plenty of room , great gas miles and looks great.

There is very little room in the gas&#47;rpm range to drive.

fuel

Fuel economy is pretty good considering the performance, 0-60 in 8.0 seconds.

roomy

The back seat and trunk space are fairly roomy.

It's very roomy and I like that the view out of front is unobstructed.

Nice look (love the mini Range Rover vibe), roomy front and back seats and cargo area with it's nifty bi level cargo floor.

2020 Acura RDX

noise

I had a popping noise with the lift gate as soon as I brought it home.

Took it back to the dealer and they couldn't recreate the noise.

Front brakes make noise and you can feel the abrasive rubbing.

Shortly after purchasing, I was driving in mildly damp conditions and I heard a grinding noise in the front end as I came to a stop.

White noise coming out of the speakers after the car has been stop for over half an hour.

More importantly, we also developed an issue with a loud popping noise from the panoramic sun roof that sometimes occurs when entering or leaving an elevated driveway or surface.

It feels cheap and unsubstantial; noisy impacts with road imperfections, uncomfortable seats all around and it  handles like crap with the steering going from completely numb to overloaded in turns with poor progression.

but remain disappointed that the brakes squeak every time that you start the vehicle until it warm up.

brake

Brakes also making noise like your rotors are bad from the start.

The brakes squeaked all the time at low speeds since the day we drove it off the lot.

Acura has known about problems with the brakes and electronics for two years and has no fix.

The dealer knows it is a problem so they changed out my rear brake pads.

First off the brakes started squeeking after 3500 miles which for me is unexceptable.

Purchased my new RDX less than a month ago and have had consistent issues with the brakes squeaking.

audio-system

Emergency braking system failure chimed twice and flashed warning lights on the dash.

This RDX has had major electrical and audio issues.

(While others may have complained about the touch pad system to operate multiple systems, once you get the hand of it, it's no big deal.)

The infotainment system is just fine- took just a day to get used to it.

Only minor drawback is the infotainment system (still new for me), some features not as intuitive as my 2015 CRV Honda (also miss the passenger camera with use of right turn signal).

however, the computer system is a huge disappointment.

After three months, I’m very pleased with all aspects of my RDX (except the speedometer) and the occasional system failure that prevents the steering wheel toggle switch from working properly.

failure

Also had a battery failure after 14 months.

Delearship told me that the battery needs to be fully charge in order to work and many other factors may cause this technology to fail.

tire

Unfortunately, Acura’s answer is cheap and shoddily upholstered leather seats where the leather is wavy and pulling and puckered along the stitches, has poor interior lighting, and delivers excessive road noise and tire roar.

Road noise, tire roar, and suspension noise are louder than my pick-up truck.

I personally do not like the run flat tires that come on the German cars

I have great pickup, comfy seats, seat heaters, apple CarPlay, Acura care, the the best safety features yet, &#38; most importantly great gas mileage.

It is just so comfortable and fun to drive.

It is so easy to drive, very comfortable, uses regular gas and looks nice too.

the interior and seats are very well designed and comfortable.

This car provides everything I was looking for— comfort, responsive driving, and lots of technology.

The ability to change handling settings from Comfort to Sport to Sport+ is a real positive feature.

I get 19- 19.5 around town in COMFORT mode, and 25 on the highway when I baby the thing!

Great value for the money, great warranty, extremely comfortable to drive.

The interior is very comfortable and the ride amazing.

The seats are very comfortable, the skylight is wonderful.

The transmission shifts smoothly and picks the right gear almost all the time.

Rides and drives great, mpg a constant 25 mpg, gear shifting is very quick and I believe it shifts 8 or maybe 9 times.

The RDX seems really well engineered and the gear shifts are so smooth.

Updated on 07/24/2020 - One year and 8K miles into the car and we love everything except the gear "shifter" - still have to think too much to shift - not intuitive.

The transmission is always hunting for the correct gear.

feature

There are a lot better options out there for that money or even less.

This is my 3rd Acura vehicle a  2010 TSX, a 2017 TLX and now a 2020 RDX I have the Advanced package Best value for the money, best quality, best driving experience and Frank Leta Acura has the best service!! !

It is full of features and several thousand dollars less than competitors.

It is beautiful, absolutely wonderful to drive, and has lots of safety features.

I chose this model for the price, the look, the easy to use technology features, and my previous positive experience with Acuras.

This car has about every bell and whistle that you can imagine, including all of the safety features available these days.

Tons of great features, stylish, sporty, fun.

interior

Pros: Interior fit and finish matched and even exceeded my Mercedes (no rattles).

Fit and finish on both the exterior and interior is outstanding.

I like that it is smaller than the MDX, yet it still feels very roomy inside.

My favorite part about the interior is the screen and the push

The interior room has been increased over the previous RDX's I have owned,

The interior and exterior design, drivetrain, and electronics are well executed.

The interior is beautiful with the big moon roof, and great sound system

Cool car ,drives smooth,  very powerful, luxury car 
Drive thus car ,but it and enjoy it 
We recommend 👌 very helpful personal car dealer 
Roomy car, contable car ,nice colors cars 🚗

It handles well, is fun to drive, and offers just enough luxury to not be pretentious.

Is sport mode is fun to drive, comfortable.

I started looking for something that's fun to drive

2020 Kia Telluride

It keeps blinking the warning Check Forward Collision Avoidance Check System, the shift light won’t change, the speedometer won’t read the speed, the level of gas changes from 230 to 0 then back up to 50 and it keeps changing very fast.

Only thing I wish is that I had the upgraded radio for the extra bass.

The main concern I have is that the infotainment system isn’t working right, #1.

but my previous vehicle required turning up the volume on the audio when driving on highway because the sound of the tires on the highway was so loud and the wind noise was just annoying).

However, there is a glitch in the entertainment system that causes the bluetooth feature to not work correctly.

but on the way home from work today the whole infotainment system died.

This suv has met all my expectations for driving comfort.

Cabin noise is hardly noticeable and ride comfort is excellent.

It has all the bells and whistles that I wanted. Comfortable.

Safety features, comfy features, towing ability, get up and go, roominess and even good looking too!

After test driving the Kia Telluride SX V6, I noticed a much better experience with car suspensions, comfortable and firm car seats, powerful engine and the latest technology you might need to have a safe drive.

Our local trips in town have us anticipating the much longer drives that we know will be comfortable and fun!

The size, comfort, options and reliability make it the right fit for the two of us.

but then you feel like it’s constantly holding the tranny in a lower gear- too severe.

Terrific car for my business needs as a pro photographer with a lot of gear.

with all seats folded down able.to transport 3 large dogs and gear .

Love the CarPlay integration and standard safety features.

Handling is wonderful and all the added tech features work great.

Had great pickup speed the safety features were really helpful.

It has all of the features of a much more expensive luxury vehicle.

It is a well styled car full of great amenities.

It has many safety and convenience features, handles very well.

So many features it’s hard to name my favorite.

Tech and safety features are a great value.

ride

It’s very comfortable and rides very smoothly.

The Telluride rides and drives exceptionally well, even better than the Cadenza.

So far so good, once we purchased the vehicle yesterday I drove it 3 1/2 to 4 hours home and it rides comfortably like a dream.

Smooth driving with plenty of room for my family of 5.

Plenty of head room and leg room for a tall driver.

The interior is amazing and the amount of space in the vehicle compared to my last car is AMAZING!

Love my vehicle surround view for parking & getting out of tight spaces

It fits eight people comfortably, and there is plenty of room in the third row.

I love the trunk space and the third row, the wireless charger and the huge screen

but having them down gives so much room to load in whatever you need to carry with you.

It is roomy enough for 8 passengers and has a decent amount of storage room in the back.

2020 Acura MDX

For less money, you can get a car with more features more options, amenities more power more comfort less noise and more room and presence

Complete mesh of performance, comfort and utility in a reliable package.

It is by far the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Easy to drive , interior is roomy and comfortable , dependable , plenty of power for its size .

It drives smooth &#38; comfortable like a car not a truck.

Very comfortable, lots of cargo space and drives like a performance car!

The interior is very comfortable and is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven..

It's extremely comfortable and has all of the newest technology.

Annoying when you are in a situation that you need it to go into gear, immediately. 4.

Despite Covid, my MDX has hauled the crew and our gear to the mountains, amusement park and Christmas light shows.

2nd gear off the line system is smooth and quiet.

Had it been explained that to use all the available Tech options (that they couldn't stop talking about) that we would need to have unlimited data we would have taken a harder look at this vehicle.

All the extra technical amenities add an extra bonus.

The MDX compared to the other luxury SUVs exceeded expectations in amenities, style, ride, and comfort.The value aspect was just a bonus.

The price point and features of the MDX drew us in and did not let go.

The Acura is a nice car with a lot of amenities for a base model.

Best bang for the buck , pure class , sporty , 3rd row , Aspec package is top notch .

It's a smooth ride, great features for tech and comfort.

It’s reliable, low noise inside, with good driving experience.

Gorgeous interior and impressive looking on the outside.

MDX looks nice, has a smother, somewhat quieter ride than the Highlander and nicer leather interior.

I love the interior, the styling and the way it drives.

From the sporty exterior to the luxurious interior I became a fan of Acura overnight.

Love new interior and wider wheelbase on newer model.

In 2018 I decided to shop around and chose, just for fun, the Volvo XC60 - I liked the sporty look and the wood-trimmed interior.

It offers a better ride with extra bells and whistles.

You can't as a driver or passenger drive or ride with headrests in their cocked position. OUCH!

The car rides very smooth and handles well.

Good value for the money; great performance and comfortable ride.

2020 Audi Q3

engine

The engine still seems just as loud as the 2018.

My only negative is the engine "turning off" at stops which actually you have the option to "turn off "but must do so each time you drive it.

The main issue happened recently where I was driving on a busy boulevard doing about 50mph and the engine stalled leaving only the electrical components working.

I was able to pull over shut off the engine and when I restarted the warning went away.

At low speeds or when stopped at a junction or traffic light the engine stalls and i get a message on the virtual cockpit saying that i should start the car manually.

steering

but as you settle in you notice a lot of chintzy bits, like the flimsy plastic paddle shifters or the flimsy control stalks on the steering wheel.

Was driving down an 8 lane major road, car just shuts down, steering locks, no power.

Armrests and reach to the steering wheel and window controls are awkward and tiring.

THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO GETS STIFF WHEN I STOP IN TRAFFIC AND SO I I HAVE TO TURN HAD BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO FREE.

Additionally, while driving the car identifies tar on the road as lanes and jerks the car away and it is very difficult to pull the steering back.

Cons: Remote start not available for cold weather warm-up, 2 driver memory seat only on prestige model, many features like tripometer are only available via confusing steering wheel

Theres a rattling sound inside that I think may be a part of the dash and the gas is a bit sensitive

The only 2 cons is that with all the tech stuff no seat memory and the interior cabin could use a little more insulation to reduce road noise.

heat/air-control

Disappointed that the passenger front seat has manual controls!

Negative is that the passenger front seat has manual controls, not power.

My only complaint is the passenger seat, amazingly, does not have electric controls! It is ridiculous that my 10 year old Venza had them

I’m 5’11 265 and the driver seat is pretty comfortable, still a little tight though.

Not only is it a great running car, it is comfortable and has so many amazing extras.

The comfort and technology is Exactly what I wanted in my new SUV.

but comfortable, visibility is good, the back seat is built for adults and there is plenty of door pocket storage and the trunk is a good size.

but the interior comfort and accessories that remind me of a Honda.

Very comfortable ride and looks great on the inside and outside.

Occasionally there’s a big clunk into gear enough to make you say geez.

You would think this might be a great feature

The Q3 comes with a lot of features as a standard.

It's just not as powerful unless I gun it, the start/stop activation feature is maddening, the stereo system is lame, and the Lane Assist has worked 2x since I've had it.

Loaded with features and stylish while giving me a peace of mind she is safe and secure.

I love the auto features, esp the windshield wipers going on when it rains!

It would have been nice to have a heated steering wheel option, and the manual seems to be made for every Q3 on the planet so it takes a while to figure out what your car comes equipped with and what is doesn't and is confusing.

The amount of features on this car that comes standard is a plus.

The new safety features such as the side blind spot light, and the feature letting you know that you are close to the side of the road are important to me.

I bought this car for its safety features and to just have it all fail.

Inside, the Sportback has one of the best cabin experiences in the class.

but the X1 feels much more solid on the inside.

Nice sleek exterior design, interior is nice.

The Audi Q3 is attractive on the outside and has high quality features on the inside.

The outside is sleek and makes you think the inside will be more sophisticated.

Overall I love this car for its roomy interior, handling, and the good road feel.

The 19 inch wheels provide a smooth ride.

The fit and finish are suburb, as well as the exceptional ride for the passengers.

but the turbo gives it pretty good zip and the comfort of the ride is exceptional even at high speeds on the highway.

It rides and handles extremely well, just rock solid, and has plenty of power around town and on the highway.

2018 Ford Escape

Rattles are starting to show up and the gas tank is much smaller than I thought it was.

This car makes noises that can be worrisome from the front end.

Reliable, a little noisy on the transmission
