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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

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.

power

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.

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!

2023 Kia Seltos

With the turbo motor it has very good acceleration and decent gas mileage.

The engine puts out plenty of HP and torque to make the car responsive and it's quick which is very important when merging onto highways or general overtaking.

KIA was picked as JD POWER"S #1 most reliable car brand for 2022.

comfortable

I have a spinal injury and I find the seats and suspension to be very comfortable even over longer drives, and when you use the driver assist features even longer trips aren't as tiring.

feature

interior

It has a LOT of room on the inside, never would have figured on that just by looking at the outside.

As far as exterior and interior styling, I'm very pleased with the quality of the interior as well as the great touch points and an overall ergonomic design.

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.

The instant torque from the electric motor makes the car quick from a step, which is particularly noticeable in local driving.

I have had knobs that are confusing like my Mercedes cursor and engine control knobs next to each other.

Concerning engine performance, you're not going to be able to challenge a Mustang or a Camaro,

It gives the engine just a little extra power when you need it.

The engine is always switching back and forth.

Among my favorite features in my standard Blue model: wireless Apply CarPlay (usually an expensive option even in luxury cars), standard AWD, attractive cloth seating and a lot of soft touch surfaces, a power adjustable driver’s seat, and a nice, responsive touch screen.

Power is acceptable and transmission is smooth.

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

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

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

The car felt very stable cornering (sends power to rear wheels when cornering) even fully loaded.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

This model has the turbo engine where you sacrifice gas mileage for performance especially if you live in mountain states.

The turbo engine had an outrageous amount of power making it excellent for passing cars and climbing elevation.

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

The Outback Touring XT has a rough-sounding turbo engine coupled to a jerky, inconsistent CVT transmission that makes smooth starts impossible.

You can accelerate to about 20mph, at which point the cvt goes to its highest gear and bogs the engine, putting a stop to acceleration.

The engine is well positioned (horizontal boxer engine) it keeps the car grounded.

More power than my six cylinder 2019 Outback.

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

With the turbo, it is just as quick as any other car, and never have to worry about power.

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,

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.

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.

2022 Nissan Rogue

large-size

great vehicle overall seats should be a little bigger .

The cargo space is not that large as described (a couple of inches would solve the issue

body style is good and lots of safety features , engine has some pep with quick acceleration, smooth ride with good music system.

Great styling, handling and lots of engine power.

The engine runs very smooth and has excellent fuel economy.

Love the smooth ride and performance with the turbo charge engine and better gas mileage.

Even thought it has a 1.5L 3 cylinder engine turbo it drivers so smooth and it has plenty of power when you needed.

Don’t care much for the new 3 cylinder engine:  it’s noisy

In terms of engine power in city ( not that much more acceleration) and hwy.

Driving wise it’s good now, decent power and performance.

There is plenty of power offering a sporty feel even when driving in ECO.

fuel

The car consumes much more fuel, than advertised, I do not know, how it is possible to cheat that much in adds, the average is 21, that is terrible.

although I’m going to loose some mileage per gallon it is well worth it.

The car is incredible, handles well, is good on gas, and for me who just moved from an RVR, the resources oferred on the platinum trim are impressive.

Gas mileage is very good because I drive in ECO mode all the time.

Car is very nice overall,  fuel  consumption still high I never reached 28 mpg in the town,

Driving 2022 Rogue Platinum from last 2 months, it’s really comfortable (all seats), Entertainment system could have some more options

We always get a very quiet and extremely comfortable ride.

Both seats the driver and passenger seat are very comfortable even if the passenger does is not powered it provides the same amount of comfort.

No amount of adjusting the seat, headrest or mirrors can make this safe or comfortable!!

Still the rogue is a very reliable and stylish SUV, that delivers about the same comfort and reliability that other Dull SUV's do with out taking the style, and is economical on gas.

Comfort, visibility, safety features, technology&#47;infotainment, A&#47;C are all great.

After my husband decided that he needed a car again vs. a truck we went back and found a Rogue Premium Package was perfect for us.

Kia and other model are definitely a better option.

The cruise  and navigation systems are outstanding as are the safety features.

2022 Ford Maverick

Fords ordering system is the worst thing I have ever seen.

When I roll four passengers deep, everyone has plenty of space for ergonomically correct natural resting positions (they don't have to contort and twist to fit for the ride), decent audio from the base factory radio, a place for their small personal belongings in the convenient door pockets, convenient cupholders for beverages, plentiful and easily accessible ports for charging their phones and tablets, and - to top it off - in-vehicle WiFi (which has excellent bandwidth in my area - only &#36;25 a month through AT

The EV sound is annoying, since they forgot to add any insulation from the factory, it's loud.

The hybrid sound is too loud,
The horn makes more noise in the cabin than it does outside.

The only issue so far is a clicking type rattle in my dash that only happens on certain slow bumps in my neighborhood, once I am on the highway it goes away. Strange.

My first impression during the test drive was that nearly everything about it seemed well-refined for the price point except for the engine noise.

The Panels all rattle
The dash rattles
The Gas engine is loud and unrefined
The Hybrid brake system was an after thought..
