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.

comfortable

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

but also performed great, comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

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.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

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

We want to feel comfortable driving anywhere in any weather.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

It’s plush, comfortable, and feels solid.

roof

The sun is reflecting one moment in your eyes and then the next showing dust, fingerprints and scratches all over.

- Panoramic roof is gorgeous 

Cons:
- Gas mileage isn’t that great,

The most awesome feature is the extended sunroof.

You can now move the position of the crossbars on the roof - nice.

Best value is the base SH-AWD as long as you use your phone for navigation, etc., it comes with the panoramic roof as standard along with the necessary safety items.

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.

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

This car is beautiful and its rides excellent .

interior

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

The leather interior is a big improvement.

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

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.

feature

I purchased A-spec package, overall the build quality is top notch.

Checked against Mercedes
e-class suv and if you can get all the features as the acura you would pay at least &#36;20,000 more

Another option is to reset the infotainment system through the diagnostics option. 3.

For &#36;62K the Advance package has even unusual extras like HUD, heated steering wheel,  driver-side seat memory, stay-in-lane-assist, 360 camera, panoramic sun-roof etc.

The Advance Package adds over 7k to the sticker and just really lacks value there.

With my family of three kids that is a game changing feature that makes the car so flexible.

My favorite tech of the car aside from the Acura Watch safety features is the tachometer.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

phone

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.

The car is very comfortable, has great tech and safety features, and looks so stylish and sleek on the exterior.

Leather seats are super comfortable and the heat and ac features work in minutes.

I am really enjoying my new  Hyundai Tucson SE front wheel drive, it is so smooth on the road and really comfortable.

Quiet, comfort, power, space, general fit &#38; finish are all very well done.

Tall people will not be comfortable in the RAV4.

Features, style, comfortable ride and performance.

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

The entire trip was amazing, smooth, quite, and comfortable.

I did shop around some other brands and this new model was a lot more comfortable, quieter, and spacious than most of its competitors.

While not a big sun&#47;moon roof fan in the past, the Tucson's sun roof is the first one that I've actually enjoyed.

My RAV4 has a sunroof and the top of my head touched to interior roof trim.

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

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 features bring you enjoyment to keep you in the car a long time.

The Blue trim Wireless AndroidAuto &#47; AppleCarplay is a beauty (AndroidAuto has more features)

Easy to drive, like all the new to me features.

This car also has “smart park” which is a cool feature

fuel

It’s beautiful, has plenty of power, and has enabled us to cut our fossil fuel use and cost by more than 50 percent.

Gas mileage is advertised at 29 mixed driving.

Fuel economy has slowly been improving as it get further along its break in.

I own gas version not hybrid and put premium gas per manual and getting excellent gas mileage per gallon and smooth transmissions.

Other point 9ve noticed is that fuel economy suffers in the colder weather.

I really enjoyed the gas mileage and the fact that I didn't have to fill up often.

It’s very annoying to have to constantly feel like you’re having to get gas on long trips.

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

I really enjoy the quiet cabin and smooth ride.

And passengers were impressed about how smooth and silent the ride was.

Very comfortable and smooth ride for the budget.

2021 Toyota Venza

noise

But I wasn't crazy for the stiff rides and the wind noise due to the height.

It is almost like metal piece rattling in the cargo area.

On highways, I noticed very little wind noise,

It make very very little sound or vibration when the gas motor starts/stops.

A little more road noise than I would;d like.

I noticed that when I play the radio a little too loud, the bass makes the dashboard buzz.

I am very disappointing with the 2021 Venza Driving Feel, I bought my Venza in December 17, 2020 and from the very beginning I heard the noise produced by the hybrid system (dealer technician said),

I have had  my car insulated to cut down on the road noise, thinking that was the issue.

Other than that the interior started squeaking after less than 3 months and 3k miles.

engine

though this car is a 4 cylinder, it does not feel underpowered at all and it zips around town with no issues.

I like how the engine shuts off coasting, braking, or stopped at a light.

no clunk when the engine turns off at a light like my wife's E350.

Perhaps the biggest compliment other than a droning engine when pushed hard is that you don't even realize you're driving a hybrid most of the time.

The start/stop of the engine does not bother me at all,

Not powerful or refined engine under hard acceleration as my 2014 Toyota Highlander XLE.

I have the 2021 Venza XLE I cannot get anymore than 41 liters of gas in it, and I run it down to where it says 20 KL left, anyone else have this problem, Toyota is doing nothing

navigation

Poor POI, tricky routing compared to smartphone, and sometimes hazardous paths: it led me to an UNBUILT ramp in Corpus Christi on 65mph which could be fatal if I was driving at nighttime and trusted the navigation.

The voice activated navigation is problematic at times.

The touch screen for the map does not appear on the entire 12” screen like in world like for it to.

Also, nav & upgraded audio not worth the upcharges.

It’s NOT as quiet as a Lexus  

Cons:
#Worst navigation system I’ve ever seen.

brake

We love everything about our Venza except , occasionally upon applying the brakes we hear a loud sound like metal banging.

The wind noise breaks into the interior just after 40mph and driving 70 on a highway in addition to buzzing from the wheels on a large-fraction asphalt or whistling on a concrete will make you head blow in just couple of hours.

After several failed attempts and the brake pedal going to the floor, I got out of the car, locked it, then re-entered and this time it worked properly.

A few times the Venza does not going to gear and I had to press the brake pedal again.

From the first week I had the BMW, I had issues with the brakes, the electronics, total engine shutdown, and the list goes on.

In the owner's manual, it says that the Venza is not designed for off-roading (off-road only if unavoidable) and that snow chains cannot be mounted (mine has the bigger tires).

It's not bothered by extreme cross winds, snow, ice, slush, heavy rain - if you have the right tires.

It may be the Bridgestone eco tires, which I’ll eventually switch out to a better riding tire.

It’s a comfortable ride, gets phenomenal gas mileage and love my stargaze roof.

the inside is luxurious, so comfortable and very quiet.

It is quiet, rides exceptionally smooth, 45.4 MPG, Sirius XM radio, 1st class power hatch, nice wheels, very comfortable seats, nice leather steering wheel, ect. .

The heated, ventilated seats are comfortable the vehicle is sharper in appearance than a Lexus and I just can't get over how much fun it is to drive.

The front seats are very comfortable and I love the ventilated seat option.

Smooth ride, comfortable with great features.

Feels roomier inside than the Limited Rav and most definitely a more comfortable ride.

The interior looks amazing and feels comfortable.

The seats are the most comfortable I ever sat in.

A comfortable and quiet ride was a priority, as we were coming from a Lexus RX350.

The frosted sunroof that clears at the touch of a

The Star Gaze panoramic roof gives a nice soft lighting to the interior when in opaque mode.

Speaking of over-the-top: The Star Gazer roof is the ultimate wiz-bang option that will have your passengers going "WOAH! THIS CAR IS SOOOO COOL!"

My car has all features except the panoramic moonroof, while a really cool feature I figured I would be enamored for about a month and then likely wouldn't use it , similar to the panoramic roof on my former vehicle.

The  sunroof is worth getting, as it lightens the interior and gives you a bigger feeling.

Even has a panoramic glass roof that goes from clear to opaque with the touch of a

Also there’s a silver reflective piece on the dashboard that when the sun hits it BLINDS you.

mileage

Although I got 55 mpg, in eco mode, going 7 miles to my grocery store in flat terrain, it was a boring ride.

Great gas mileage, avg 39 miles per gallon

Buy it because it's a hybrid, love it if you're willing to give up some gas mileage and have some real fun.

Great mileage so far, do not visit the gas station every week.

My overall gas mileage is 46.7 which is outstanding.

You have three options economy 39.8 miles to the gallon without trying.

I knew I would never use moonroof, I was really happy to find a car with so many features without moonroof.

This vehicle is packed with luxury features like parking sensors, power folding mirrors, and memory seat.

Many of the tech features are easier to understand after reading the manual and/or watching the tips/tricks videos online.

The Car Rides Very Well Nothing like A Toyota RAV4 .

Overall, this is an excellent SUV in quality, comfort, ride and style.

2021 Nissan Rogue

transmission

I've read one reviewer said the Rogue was very slow in horsepower with 181 horsepower does a well job to me as with the (CVT) Continuously Variable Transmission is smooth probably better from my old Murano.

It's not reliable, it's been in the service department twice for transmission problems.

Transmission CVT not good  most Nissan car now have Cvt not reliable.

There is a LOT of wind&#47; road noise T 60mph.

but with some annoying problems:
- Shaking / vibrating when driving or accelerating slowly.

Monitor not working, no radio, gps iPhone connect charging backup cameras, weird noise, flashing Nissan logo, it’s been 2 months, they cannot find the part anywhere!

It’s comfortable, looks great inside and out, handles great, and I haven’t had any issues so far.

The ride is smooth for a mid priced SUV and comfortable to drive.

Very spacious and much more comfortable with lots of power.

Meets our needs comfortable  stylish love the interior and the ride is super cool.

OMG, they are so comfortable and the back seats are a little bit higher and I love that too.

All the "bells and whistles" needed to enjoy a comfortable ride from here to there.

Very quiet and comfortable and I get about 33 MPG commuting to the office and back.

Has lots of tech features bought the SV with premium package loaded includes panoramic sunroof and ALLAROUNDVIEW camera which did have in my Murano.

I like the look of the new Rouge and it does have nice features

I have to say that the 2021 Rogue SL, with the premium package is my best leased Nissan yet.

- Stop hold feature: I love the idea, as I have knee problems and it releases tension in my right knee,

Very good , well thought out features and roomier that previous models.

All the features and comfort makes driving a pleasure.

Plus all the other great features the Rogue has.

It full film my requirements and features that I need to drive safe and comfort , on the road make me happy an like it

She especially enjoys the sun roof which is a very nice feature on the car.

Interior quality is a lot better than the competitors I checked out and took for a test drive.

Love the exterior and most of all the interior!

The exterior is beautiful and the interior is so luxurious without the luxurious price tag.

It’s a good looking car inside and out.

Rogue with Platinum trim (top of the line) is beautiful inside and out.

Ride is OK except for bumps and pot holes.

No more aching behind or restricted blood flow on longer rides.

but my 2018 rouge had more features than this and the ride was 90&#37; better.

The ride is smoother and more quiet as well!

The technology is amazing and the car rides so smoothly.

2021 Kia K5

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

After a month of owning my k5 EX the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is the terrible wind and road noise that comes into the cabin.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

lights

2400 miles in and it already needs to go in for an engine diagnostic on 8/6/21; stopped at a red light and the car had NO pickup/power and RPM’s were pegged at 4500-5000 when I took off from the red light; lights started flashing on the dashboard, etc.

With LESS THAN 300 MILES and after owning for only 3 weeks the engine light came on and the car started shaking violently.

the door handles light up as you approach the vehicle, the smart trunk opens automatically when you stand in front of the trunk, the front collision detector sounds if you're getting to close to the vehicle in front of you.

My engine light came on and it turn out to be a faulty ERG valve.

The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day.
