2021 Toyota RAV4

noise

The highway  pavement noise and wind noise are barely tolerable.

Wind noise, cabin is very loud on hwy driving.

The only complaint I have is the noisy engine when the car switches to the “ice”when the electric battery is low.

Complaints (none of which are deal breakers): road and wind noise is loud on the highway; the passenger seat should have a full range of power settings like the driver’s seat; ergonomics could be better (several

When the RAV 4 runs out of electric the motor automatically starts and take over you do not feel the difference except for some engine noise.

Discouraged with the lack of power and the Loud noise from the engine when on throttle.

Excessive rattles in the tailgate and plastic trim, especially when it's cold outside below 40°.

Continues to get strange rattling sounds from cheap plastic.

Road and wind noise is soo loud it is dizzying.

audio-system

I also had a slight squeeling sound coming from the brakes when engaged and released.

The audio system in the Rav4 Prime SE is definitely subpar.

The stereo on the dashboard has sun glares that's annoying.

The only downside is that the vehicle sounds at all times like multiple pieces are loose on the interior… there are rattles in the cabin from every direction that cannot seem to be found or fixed.

but the accident prevention system (PCS) does not work, so that you receive a warning you must first have the accident.

Toyota has some engineering issues with the system that they need to work on.

The engine sounds quite entertaining(funny), that's probably because we aren't used to hear a 4 cylinder engine sound for 14+ years.

The vehicle is back in the shop for electrical system.

battery

Battery keeps having problems, and they replaced it.

but the tighter suspension and the low to the ground and in the center heavy battery minimize that.

highway use.. Come one weekend, the car is sitting in the garage with a dead battery, unable to start or power on any electronics.. Toyota has a TSB pointing to updating the software of the DCM module.

The gas tank issues and dying battery issues are really serious lapses on the part of Toyota.

engine

The only thing I don’t like is when the engine kicks off to save fuel.

Seems like the engine wants to rip out of the car.

My only complaint would be the aggressiveness of the torque in the engine.

However I'm not a fan of the on off engine gas saving system.

About the only negative thing I could say about it is that the engine is a bit loud at higher RPM’s,

There are some things to improve like a full-digital instrument cluster, a tachometer (hybrid), oil temp and voltage readings, hood-opening hydraulic struts, illuminated windows and mirror

Only other issue is a fan noise when the heater starts up.

All the lights, radio, defroster everything is turned off before we shut the car off,

elegant

And the car is very comforter ,space,and elegant.

This vehicle looks very elegant , spacious and easy to navegate.

tire

comfortable

The car is very comfortable and economic!

It has excellent power, a great ride, the seats are comfortable and it has killer looks.

Pleasure to drive, very comfortable seats , love my light gray interior ( much better then black in my 2016) car is so quiet so I sometimes forget it’s on and leave with out turning off.

Great visibility, smooth and responsive acceleration, great clearance, great gas mileage, plenty of cargo space, comfortable and quiet ride.

very quick and responsive 219 hp, roomy and quiet,comfortable, fun to drive
BONUS.

This RAV4 has exceeded all my expectations of what I thought it would be, Comfort, style, performance, and relilability are great.

Comfortable, well designed vehicle with great performance, and seamless, smooth transition between gas and electric.

The car itself is comfortable and looks nice.

It is large enough to be extremely comfortable; even in the back seat, and small enough to be practical.

feature

Buying a 2021 RAV-4 was one of my dreams as a Camry owner for 10 years.. and with whatever Camry offers i was led to believe RAV-4 would offer far more options.. decided to buy the XLE model knowing its the luxury model..!!

I love the safety features and the Car Play.

I traded up to the 2021 Rav4, Hybrid, AWD LEX, which was fully loaded with all the Amenities and safety features and with my trade etc, I would spend about &#36;30.00 more, which nI saved in insurance.

But for a 46K car (XSE with premium audio) it lacks in other features - dated media system, underwhelming interior, no memory seats in base trim, no trunk organization, or any other features which some standard in other lower priced cars.

Overall, love this 2021 XLE Rav4 as I did the 2018; including the new features.

I was and am impressed with all the safety features in this vehicle.

Like the way it drives an the safety features.

fuel

My daughter has a large suv and we followed them to Fl and back and it cost me more for gas!

the car was purchased because of extreme back problems which I am on disabled for.the car does everything as well as my dad's girlfriend's 2017 Rx 350.the gas mileage is amazing.

I bought the Rav4 because 1) it's a Toyota, 2) AWD availability, 3) styling and seating, and 4) gas mileage.

Purchased the vehicle new and have had EXCELLENT gas milage, no problems at all, cargo space is almost as spacious as a Lexus RX350 and it is NON-turbocharged.

2021 Subaru Outback

Then they have the motor shutoff for when we stop at stop signs - we can only disable it right after we start the car every time.

The engine shut off is about gotten me hit twice when I was nearly clipped in intersections.

For the most part I really like the car has a couple things about it I don't like I don't like the thing to shut the engine off every time you stop personally I don't use the cruise control where it'll drive itself and I get mad at it sometimes when it talks to me tells me to keep my eyes on the road

Only regret is not having the Turbo engine because it can be a little sluggish getting away from traffic lights.

But when it comes to an emergency, the 4 cylinder engine will fail you every time.

As many others have pointed out, the mileage has never been close to what is advertised, and the engine start&#47;stop is very rough.

I HATE the jerkiness of how the engine restarts at stop lights.

engine should shut off when stopped at proper setting

The engine shut down/stert up is abrupt as it says in many reviews, acceleration and shifting isn’t as smooth as the civic with a CVT,

I really hate the automatic engine shut off.

transmission

Coming from a VW Golf Alltrack - a lifted AWD wagon just a bit smaller - the steering is nowhere as quick, the mileage is not as good and the transmission is nowhere near as responsive as the DSG in the Golf.

Was prepared to be disappointed with the CVT transmission

The single biggest issue is the standard engine&#47;transmission package.

The seat belt buzzer goes off immediately when you start the car so even if you're just rolling your car into your garage have to put up with that blurring noise.

but as soon as I got it home, I realized there was a very loud rattle above the driver's head.

My previous Outback had absolutely no rattles or squeaks,

but things like seat adjustments and cooling fans can be noisy.

gear

Better transmission and gear ratio spacing would go a long way.

Horrible leak in the front, large puddles of water in floorboard and under mat on passenger side next to gear shift.

small-size

4- Given the size of the car, the interior storage is not that good- the glove box and center console are tiny, the door pockets are too small and styling seems to have taken precedence over function.

This makes for poor protection agains small particles that hit the windshield when driving down the highway (I can't imagine how you can drive down an unpaved road without a problem).

Only negative for me on interior design is accessing the phone charging area, difficult location of the CD player and much smaller size door pockets as compared to my 2017 Outback.

The car is spacious, quiet, and elegant enough for my needs.

Mechanically, this is a nice car: good gas mileage, comfortable, good 4WD capability.

Comfortable ride, lots of power, good handling, perfect size.

It is comfortable, reliable, and quite safe to drive.

There are many things I love about the car including the look, comfort, quality of the materials, 4wd with great gas mileage, integrated cross bars and how safe you feel when driving in bad weather.

The waterproof fabric covering the seats is very comfortable and seems to be wearing well.

The exterior of the car looks nice and the seats are very comfortable,

First the positives - the car is comfortable and can carry a large load of luggage and bikes.

ride

The failed electronics for voice recognition, driver recognition, radio, and phone are killing the joy of the ride.

No one rides with me, which makes the car too large and long.

The car has a very comfortable ride and is fairly quiet.

Or sometimes it recognizes you when you get in and then forgets about you somewhere along the ride and by the time you get to your destination.

Smooth ride, quiet, lots of active monitoring systems.

but it drives easily and rides comfortably .

It is so well built, solid, safety features are outstanding and very enjoyable to drive.

Has more luxury features  (in touring trim) than my BMW for a lot less money.

The cruise control feature is nice because the car will automatically slow down.

There’s plenty of leg room , so comfortable and has great safety features that you would love.

There are lots of convenient features including plenty of safety features and lots of space.

The Onyx features black exterior trim components and rims for more style.

Needed something comfortable to drive with all of the necessary safety features as well as having enough power to tow my ATV.

It has all of the features of a luxury vehicle.

I love all the security features added to the Outback: I had a 2013 Outback which I loved

On a smooth flat road the ride is very comfortable and on the freeway I like the lane centering feature that my other one didn't have.

2021 Ford Explorer

but to say that things I really like you said 360 Copilot cruise control it stops for you automatically slows down for you automatically drives for you automatically what more can you ask for it's got comfortable seats my seats are heated my steering wheel is heated I've got a moonroof that's beautiful when you open it and it's huge it's double moon also 300 horsepower keeps up with the Mustangs and the Chargers and the faster vehicles that are out there on the streets but it's also a family vehicle so I don't like to get on it too much but it will go over a hundred miles per hour easily overall I give this a 9 out of 10 and the only reason why I don't give it a 10 it's because it gives a stupid beeping noise if you walk out of the car with the keys in your pocket and it's running and it's done that to me many a times

I can understand Ford not wanting to put an exhaust on the ST that would rattle the neighbors windows as they do have to cater to the family market more,

Little or no road noise inside the vehicle.

Especially the noise from the wheel arches at a speed above 80 km per hour, I also constantly hear another whistling sound from the side of the passenger door, and the trunk is very noisy, all this greatly lowers the level of comfort and I don't even want to ride this car on the highway as my ears are starting to paw from the noise and hum.

Love all the features in the vehicle and elegant appearance of the vehicle.

The upgraded brakes and 21 inch rims and tires eat up the road with ease.

but I was pleasantly surprised to feel extremely comfortable with the 300 HP eco-boost engine!

Very comfortable seats for long road trips.

I'm most impressed with the comfort when towing my boat.

I absolutely love this vehicle  it is very comfortable alot of leg room just wish ford would include weather tech floor mats in all the vehicles

room

an amazing SUV that drives like a space ship and has 440 hp with an attractive look.

Plenty of head room and leg room for tall husband.

The comfort is amazing, has all the room I was looking for, and was surprising affordable.

Plenty of room for passengers and luggage.

I love how much room the vehicle has and is great for the family or driving around the City.

Very comfy and more room than last Explorer.

This car is  enough of boot space and easy to drive.Modes of drive are excellent and safe.Interior design is beautiful.Bucket seats are comfy and heating is good.

I purchased the XLT sport package and it everything I was looking for.

One bright feature, the panoramic sunroof.

As for Android Auto I went with the technology package that has the larger display, so it's mildly frustrating Android Auto only takes up half of it.

The Explorer Limited has all the features and comfort I was looking for.

Very excited about the bells and whistles and safety features.

The comfort and amenities are everything I could ask for.

It also has many added safety features, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and blind spot warnings.

Love the new 2nd row seating and all of the new features.

2021 Volvo V90

Smooth (with 19" wheels, 20's have thin tires and make for a harsher ride), refined and elegant.

For a large car this size I would normally expect a smoother ride, road imperfections are readily felt by driver and passenger.

2021 Genesis GV80

HEART BROKEN TOOK IT OUT MY FOURTH DAY WIERD NOISES FIXED IT SAID POWER TRAIN WAS GOOD GOT IT BACK FROM DEALER TWO MONTHS LATER STEERING WHEEL CAME OFF

Its like you are at the concert with no crowd (road) noise.

So, the exterior sets it apart from the pack of luxury SUVs in a way that is stately and elegant.

They would not replace tires that were cupped.

The car is ok hard to understand all its features.

I have the GV80 2.5T 2wd with the Prestige and Advanced package and it is a fantastic SUV, I am very happy with it overall.

I have spent time driving all other luxury SUVs, BMW, Mercedes, Audi and nothing came close to the GV80 for value, features and luxury feel.

but until they get the right buyers to fully commit to this buying option, they will undoubtedly lose buyers to Benz and BMW which is a real shame since the Genesis GV80 can stand toe-to-toe with the everyone of it's pricey competitors.

What’s more, the GV80 is loaded with standard features, especially safety features, that were either not available or were pricey options on my BMW.

This car was the best option for my family.

While it takes a little bit to digest all the features, it is well worth it.

Very fun to drive and love all the safety features.

A true Luxury SUV loaded with so many features that compete with the German Luxury SUV for thousands less.

The comfort, the ride, the performance was absolutely stellar.

I have yet to be disappointed with ride, style, comfort and overall value.

Rides beautiful very comfortable & lots of power with the new 3.5 v6 turbo

but the quality of ride, the technology and the peace of mind regarding trouble free ownership provided by the warranty makes this the hands down choice in the segment, in my opinion.

It will let me ride for up to 10 minutes without indicating I need to put my hands on the wheel.

Comfortable feeling when driving with a lot of power.

make it a standout performer and the most comfortable SUV on the road.

2021 Lexus RX 350

I love my new toy, luxury, she is elegant, run smoothly, exterior and interior colors awesome,  the more I look at her the more I fall in love

It is the most comfortable and reliable vehicle I have ever owned in my 50+ years of driving and it tops such previously owned brands as Mercedes, Porsche and Audi.

Workmanship, stability, total comfort for driver and passengers.

This car was what I was looking for, it is very luxurious and comfortable.

We have found it to be reliable, comfortable and holds its value.

Both are great vehicles, so comfortable and chock full of safety features.

The ride is smooth, it responds quickly, and is roomy and comfortable.

Comfortable, easy to learn and very useful features, easy to navigate, smooth ride, good pickup, very safe.

This is the most comfortable car I’ve ever owned.

It’s nice to drive, since it is so quiet and smooth riding.

I glad to see you still still find a luxury car with a ride comparable to cars of a previous era.

It is stylish, fun to drive and gets great gas mileage for a large SUV.

I expect to enjoy this car for many years.

THESE CARS ARE FUN TO DRIVE AND TO SHOW OFF TO FRIENDS.

This is a truly well designed car, that is fun to drive, and very quiet.

but I can already tell I will enjoy it for a long time, so happy I bought it, it's everything I wanted in a vehicle.

I am sure I will enjoy it for a full year -- till I trade it in for one with HUD.

It is quieter and smoother with a good stereo systems, a real pleasure to drive.

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe

I can hear noise from the road because there’s nothing underneath the hood between the motor and the road to drown it out.

I just do not like the noise of the engine.

what we don't like for a &#36;38,00.00 car is the road noise.

Engine noise is notable and seems a bit on the high pitch end upon initial acceleration versus the better low pitched rev.

windshield

Rear wiper doesn't exactly go a full 180 degrees. 3.)

The additional technology like having my speed, road speed limit, and lane assist on the winshield so I never have to take my eyes off the road.

lights

Do not care for many features such as the engine off when stopped at a light or the auto slow down or stop.

It is not recommended to use it when approaching a stop light even if you were safely distanced from the moving vehicle in front of you, or if a car in front of you brakes abruptly.

Passenger compartment and engine are very quiet and it’s difficult to hear engine start up after shutting down at stop lights.

vERY ELEGANT LOOKING ON THE INSIDE AND OUT.

Performance is fine as I was not looking for a fire breathing, tire melting vehicle (those days are behind me!).

It has plenty of passenger room as well as a large storage area in the trunk due to the spare tire mounted under the trunk.

My SEL with premium and convenience packages is MUCH more impressive than the luxury brands.

A lot of visibility and safety features to get used to.

It drove well and the moonroof was a very nice feature along with styling on the exterior of vehicle

Great technology and amazing safety features.
