2023 Mazda CX-50

audio-system

THE CROSSBARS ADD TO THE LOOK HOWEVER, THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN YOU DRIVE AT A CERTAIN MILE IS TERRIBLE.

but clarity and sound not great at low volumes.

Terrible AC system that can't keep up with 80F weather!

Don't love the audio and that's about it.

Outdated navigation and interactive system.

comfortable

The seats are less comfortable than CX-5 Preferred trim, as I also own one.

Ergonomics just don't work for long drives, door handles are in an awkward position and even with a tremendous amount of seating positions I could not get comfortable on a 180 mile trip.

speed

Its a six speed automatic vs 8 speed or 10 speed like most others make these day.

Very noisy at highway speeds with the 20" wheels/tires.

Even at high speeds, this little truck eats up the curves like a more expensive luxury vehicle.

engine

The base engine is more than enough in city and highway driving.

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

Turbo mounted in the back - behind a motor, makes future service a headache and it makes engine bay super hot.

The turbo engine makes accelerating smooth, and before you know it, you are going 90, and it feels like 60.

Acceleration ok at best given engine size.

turn-handling

There were much less body roll when I was twisting and turning in city streets.

Overall, the CX-50 is a  stylish in/out, fun to drive SUV with most things I look for.

It was so much fun, and I was so proud of my little Mazda!

2022 Hyundai Tucson

phone

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

radio

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

noise

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

but I have not had any issues getting up to highway speeds, or with stop and go city driving.

If I keep the speed close to 70 I average 33, which is excellent.

The 8 speed transmission is smooth, and the steering is responsive.

It handles well, is quiet at lower speeds;( with exception of noisy backup alert).

ride

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

feature

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

fuel

overall I am extremely happy with my Tuscon, great gas mileage even around town, 30mpg.

Gas mileage is better than expected, my daily (mostly highway) commute averages around 28-29 mpg at 80-85 MPH.

The only good thing a out this vehicle was the AWD and the fuel economy.

Our salesperson encouraged us to go a step further to a plug-in hybrid, and we're glad we listened to him, especially with gas prices as they are now.

Love how smooth this car runs and great on gas.

Has increased passenger and cargo room from last year and very good on gas for this size SUV.

Gas filler door can be opened by anyone because Hyundai cheapened the vehicle by eliminating the inside release.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

gear

Reverse Gear warning sound - It is much too loud and sounds like a backhoe backing up.

but at times the transmission seems to shudder into 3rd or 4th gears and almost lurches the passengers forward for a half second, but it's not consistent enough to be checked by the dealership.

The only cons are at very low speeds and very light acceleration it sometimes hunts for the correct gear.

backing

The whole parking lot doesn't need to know I'm backing out of a parking spot.

lights

I’m also having issues with the check engine light and the mechanics can’t figure out why.

Styling - especially the front daytime running lights 
2.

Putting signal lights at the lowest point on a vehicle is just asking for trouble.

This car has more going for it in technology, comfort, and never feel a lack of power when needed.

Plenty of power, smooth ride, effortless to drive, and comfortable.

The interior is very comfortable &#38; with the Limited trim we also got the 10" screen.

Otherwise it is very comfortable and has a nice ride quality.

This Tucson is a much smoother ride than my previous version, and it has the styling that turns heads.

I'm overall very happy &#38; look forward to several years with my new ride!

People have complemented its looks on several occasions and it's a comfortable ride.

but the rest of the SUV has made it a very enjoyable ride.

love all the safety features, the car almost drives itself.

So many great standard features, it's hard to believe.

For the price, value, and especially the maintenance package and warranty, I would definitely do it all over again.

Have the SEL premium package gas Tucson since November and I love the interior features of the car!

Selected this over the RAV4 mainly for the technology, features, and design.

Wireless CarPlay and all convenience package features are worth it.

The Tucson model is a delight to drive with a large array of easy-to-use technology.

I’ve had this car for roughly a year and it has been a pleasure to drive.

We will enjoy our new Tucson for years to come.

I think the most fun I have is using the Sport mode while driving on mountain roads.

The acceleration is effortless and I enjoy the dynamic cruise control.

The panaroma sunroof and safety features make it so enjoyable to drive.

Luxury, safety, comfort, roomy, great warranties and a fun ride.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

Also, the key on your phone will not work if you have an iPhone.

but I cannot use android auto google maps on full screen; for some reason, it shows a sidebar with the Android auto logo, which is a waste of screen space.

navigation

I also think the navigation and back up camera is not as good as the prius prime.

Try to use the map function and it would crash.

small-size

My main complaint for this model is the fuel tank, and if you are doing long-distance travel, you have to stop every 300 miles; it only holds 11 gallons, that's ridiculously small for an SUV.

For a 27k vehicle it has so much plastic that even a small light impact takes out the to low to the ground turn signals.

The biggest con is the small gas tank and range.

tank

Features, style, comfortable ride and performance.

2022 Subaru Outback

With my vehicle it was that the voice activation of the nav and search systems simply didn't work.

Unfortunately the infotainment screen is laggy and shuts off randomly shutting down everything except the engine,, safety systems, radio, gps, ac are all used through the laggy screen.

Infotainment can be a little touchy, wish nav used Google maps.

Electronics are consistently awful, from the (not really) voice-activated navigation to the slow, finicky touch-screen that controls nearly everything.

button is almost impossible to find&#47;use. The voice-activated navigation is unreliable - try entering a local address and the system responds "Would you like to navigate to the center of Lenox Iowa?"

Electronics are awful - voice navigation pretty much impossible to use; touch screen very slow to react; some

The infotainment system can be a little confusing (mainly around profile management),

cons: HORRIBLE dash system, get RID OF the Screen!

I really do not understand all the reviews with hatred for the touch pad&#47;infotainment system, in fact for me it is a high point of the car!

failure

Subaru driver recognition works sometimes and in a repair order they say it’s designed to fail.

The electronics are annoying, faulty and poorly designed.

voice-command

transmission

The cvt transmission is awful, sucking the life out of the engine.

The Wilderness is quicker off the line, faster overall, with much smoother shifts from the revised transmission, with little body roll compromise when cornering at speed.

The CVT transmission is the worst ever - jumpy, jerky, and unable to match power requirements to transmission gearing.

Very safe, comfortable and nice car to drive.

Altho the cloth seats could be more comfortable, love everything else except the car shutting off at stops.

The vehicle was highly rated and is very comfortable,

It accelerates better due to the turbo engine and is more comfortable inside.

This is the nicest riding most comfortable car I have ever owned.

The seats may very well be the most comfortable I've ever had in a car.

There are some positives: the seats are very comfortable and the ride is good.

but the overall driving experience regarding acceleration, speed, and corning fell short.

The 2.4 turbo engine is noisy and rough-sounding, and only smooth at highway speed.

pros: Smooth ride, pretty quiet interior, nice seats, sound system is good.

It rides incredible and handles beautifully too.

Ride is great , gas mileage is 33mpg and Subaru reliability
 Really love this car and we feel so safe in it .

safety

The luxury and safety of the Subaru is unmatched for the price.

you need all the safety stuff because your always looking down.

however, beyond comfort, the excellent ‘safety’ rating was impressive to each of us.

However, I dare you to find another car that offers so much standard safety features.

Great styling, safety features and lots of space for transporting gear or shopping items.

My 2022 Outback Touring with Java Brown Nappa interior is simply the best yet, with Eyesight Technology and all of the safety features, e.g., Lane Keeping, Adaptive Cruise Control & Blind Spot Monitoring etc.

but for an old man I'm really liking all the features my Touring Model has.

We bought the Premium package 11 Outback for under 30K and for that price, you can not find a better deal on a vehicle.

The safety features are what drew me to this car .

2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

But if you are coming from a luxury car to Rav4 Hybrid, then you are like me to find more cabin noise, less classy things inside

I read some complaints about interior noise.

leg-room

My biggest issue is the wasted space in the engine compartment that could be used to increase legroom by 2 inches in the rear.

I can't get comfortable in this car, the cramped leg room will be terrible on long trips.

paint

The only minor complaint I have at this time is I have a few rock chips already so I question the paint quality&#47;thickness.

It's comfy, nice leather heated&#47;cooling leather seats.

I would highly recommend this car to anyone who enjoys a comfortable, pleasant, economical driving experience combined with Toyota's proven reliability and dependability.

Pros: 
Handles well 
Good Sound Quality 
Multiple ports for charging
Comfortable Seats 
Good Storage Capacity

Cons:
Has zero power especially when navigating an incline.

Nice driving car and comfortable inside with all the bells and whistles.

We are very happy with the performance, style, and comfort ability.

The fronts seats are very comfortable in my opinion for the Adventure Trim I have.

Plenty more f power, very comfortable and iPhone with apple car play so map was displayed on 9” screen.everything synced seamlessly and the JBL sound system is fantastic.

Overall the Rav is comfortable and roomy.

I found no circumstance under which I felt the car was underpowered 
and the 8 speed transmission with the "SPORT" mode makes hills "NO PROBLEM".

Phenomenal performance with amazing speed.

mileage

I wished to get affordable car and I got amazing SUV in my RAV4 despite is not Hybrid , mpg is ok .

The car performed beautifully and throughout the trip we got 31-32
mpg&#47;city and 34 mpg&#47;Hwy.

The 4 cylinder gets awesome gas mileage !

Well rounded vehicle, good gas mileage averaging around 40mpg.

I have gotten 37  mpg on long distance driving with perfect conditions.

Getting great mileage in my RAV4 hybrid (43.5 mpg).

power

The 2022 has finally power passenger seats.

Highly recommend if you want to cut your gas bill.

For general work and putting around the Prime is perfect not to big and surprisingly not to small and did I mention the Gas Mileage or actually the fact this little rig is blisterly fast, put in Sport Mode and hang on, it's no Super Car

I could not be happier with the fuel mileage.

When the gas mileage of a future iteration goes higher, I will definitely get that.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime

Smoothest car I’ve EVER owned, very comfortable looks Amazing, Drives Amazing.

Comfortable interior and best of all gets around 100 mpg.

but then my arms will probably be extended too far to be comfortable.

We traded it for the Prime we have no regrets at all, on a bad day this car gets 60ish MPG's around town on a full charge 75 .

Responsive steering, different driving modes to choose from on this SE and the mileage. Amazing!
