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;.

compact

Mazda punches far above it's weight when if comes to the CX-5, and my Carbon Edition with the black gloss rims, black gloss grill, black chrome "wing" under the grill, polymetal grey paint, and red leather seats, make this car a sexy, fun-to-drive, beast, of a compact SUV!

Although I haven't had it for a long time yet, I can feel this compact suv is built well and runs smoothly.

Decent ride and performance for a 4 cyl, compact SUV.

But if you want a real drivers car that makes very few compromises, has tons of standard features, safety tech like crazy, standard AWD and something you would be proud of every time you get to drive it, the CX-5 is the compact SUV for you as it was for me!

phone

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

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.

feature

Very Happy with my recent purchase of my 2022 CX5 (preferred package).

I needed a reliable car, quality features and an overall highly functional car with the best  rating.

Also I love the auto start feature that lets me warm my car up on cold mornings.

Though it’s the base version standard AWD and safety features included are top notch.

ride

Mazda has greatly improved this model in recent years with a better, quieter ride, more comfortable seating and better performance.

The handling &#38; ride is like an even higher class vehicle.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

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.

There is space for one, so i ordered a compact spare from ebay, which came with a jack.

You’ll not find more car for the money anywhere stop looking if you want the best compact SUV out there, and head to the Hyundai dealership.

Ontop of that the touch screen has a mind of its own, worked great for 1 month and now it wants to click around randomly, dealer couldn't even be bothered to look at it, the android auto only works via a cable the wireless android auto skips and fails constantly.

So easy to talk to my passengers or on the phone.

comfortable

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

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.

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

2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

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.

Love the wireless car play and phone charging.

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.

2022 Toyota Corolla

audio-system

Then there is the car-play entertainment system, if you don't have your phone plugged into a special jack it doesn't work, with your phone, and cable.

As you lift off from the brake, the car in the smoothest fashion begins to roll, and what’s interesting is that as you press on the gas, the smoothness increases and is accompanied by what sounds like a light airline wind tunnel.

Love the car looks are amazing plenty of power only downside is the interior is kinda cheap it makes a lot of noise and scratches up really easy and Iv only put 15,000 on it!

You’ll notice some weird vibrations in the engine, that’s totally normal though.

tire

Only complaints, if you can call them that, would be it sits a little low and I could use it a bit higher, and they don't give you a spare tire!!!

Cons: First the Corolla Hybrid doesn't come with a spare tire, they give you a fix-it-flat and an air pump, not going to work if it is NOT a very small leak.

This car uses car play, android play and can even be used with Amazon.

Directions are displayed on the screen when using my my iPhone.

Good driving car with many safety features.

I give 5 stars to Autonation Toyota of cerritos sales personAli Rahimi, he made the purchase process go smooth and we feel we got the car w/ features we wanted
Thank you Mr. Tahimi, and sales manager Juan Guzman

It has all the safety features those are essentially required.

It's nice, very nice, tons of cool features like lane keep assist and dynamic cruise control

Great safety features to protect drivers from other vehicles on the road.

The driver seat is comfortable with the options for adjustments.

fuel

The thing I like about this 2022 Toyota Corolla:  good gas mileage, bright headlights, good interior space.

Only seen a gas station a handful of times, and I do a lot of driving.

Took a drive from Charleston, WV to Orlando, FL and then to Navarre, FL back to Charleston and spent less than &#36;150 in gas, which is amazing.

Don’t worry, it will deactivate the second you press the gas.

Fantastic rage on one tank of gas (almost 700 miles!!).

Interior is far more basic than the car's performance and it's nice exterior design - and this was a huge adjustment coming from a solid car with all the bells and whistles with a V8 engine, yet 52 miles per gallon, when I don' need the 7 seats, etc.

Light up interior mirrors make applying makeup or popping zits easier than ever!

Beautiful  powder blue color caught my eye, with grey interior.

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.

.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.

It's a very basic compact SUV that is outclassed by probably 9/10 of its competitors.

The dash/cockpit and steering wheel are the best assets in the S. 
The area to plug your phone has a weird angle that makes it tough to plug into unless you're in Park, the CarPlay continuously disconnects due to the angle and/or hitting a bump disconnects the phone slightly making it necessary to unplug and replug the phone while driving.

I really like this car and find it unique.I trade my cars in frequently and thus one I still like a lot.Looks great with the gloss black rims and I love the wireless Android auto and apple carplay.

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.

The soft touch makes resting the elbow more comfortable,

Sporty stylish exterior and technology-packed interior with loads of room and extremely comfortable seats.

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

Interior is extremely comfortable for 4, w/ lots of luggage space.

but nice, and the seats are super comfortable.

room

I'm 6'6" and I fit quite comfortably inside, plenty of head, leg, and knee room!

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

but, you should not need to push the seat back for basic foot room.

I'm 6'4, and I have ample leg and head room.

2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid

Gas has doubled in cost sense i purchased.

We are liking it more and more as gas prices keep going up and up!

It's got stylish seats in a two-tone grey, and plenty of room in the trunk.

Its quiet and fast.lots of room In the trunk.

Decent trunk space for 4 carryon size luggage bags plus some extra room!

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The exhaust is a bit loud, there is some road noise,

Anyways at 2000 miles I started hearing the waterfall noise behind the dash.

Cargo capacity is outstanding for sub compact.

Stylish, room for 4 adults,  front passenger seat folds down for long cargo, superior Infotainment including wireless apple CarPlay and android auto, averaging 32mpg city and highway.

Fuel Mileage is good on this vehicle, I average about 30 in town and about 35 or so on the interstate.

The best gas mileage was 47 mpg, better than the Kia Spectra I used to have.

gas mileage is good near 30 around town and better on hi-way .

I cannot express enough how wonderful the gas mileage is on the vehicle.

After driving it with a family of 4 I knew it was more than enough room.

It’s so beautiful in it’s Crimson Red color with the Blackout package with the optional 18’’ wheels

I love this Trailblazer with blackout package and optional wheels.

Fantastic safety features using sonar and radar

i have the LT package and it has plenty of bells and whistles , fog lights , cruise , auto start , keyless entry and more .

2022 Hyundai Kona N

It seems like Hyundai's attempt to give us a hot hatchback in a shape that the market is really into right now- the compact SUV.

I also enjoy the navigation system attaching to your phone so you never have to update the system.

And in maximum attack mode on back roads, it is an absolute delight,

It is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned after owning a string of great vehicles starting with a then-new 1968 Z28 Camaro.

But as far as pure driving joy for the money goes, look no further.

exhaust

The exhaust pops and snarls and crackles in sport mode which will either make you giggle like a kid or roll your eyes, maybe both.

Even in eco mode the exhaust has some nice notes.

I personally like to have everything cranked to the max other than the suspension, which I leave in its lowest setting, and the exhaust, which I keep in sport rather than sport +,

small-size

As a former GTI owner, the Kona N still has some of the same characteristics of the GTI and other hot hatchbacks of days gone by- a practical shape for folding down the rear seats and shoving in a bike or a dresser on occasion, a reasonably small footprint, and performance numbers that will shock people who judge cars by their badge.

It gives you all the versatility of a small SUV with all of the fun of a hot hatch.

It's small for storage, it's good for 2 on a road trip.

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.
