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.

family

it has enough power to haul family around and no issues on highways..

It is all about the ride comfort, luxury and convenience this vehicle can provide for you and your family.

If you're looking for a family friendly, comfortable ride that isn't a bore to drive, I would definitely recommend the MDX.

Weird since this was present on the 2017 Acura MDX Tech, and also is on the very base Honda Passport that my daughter drives.

I have a 21TLX and I love the tech on the car and decided to also get a family SUV.

but for me and the dogs it’s exactly perfect for us.

Already gone on a road trip with the 2022 MDX to the mountains (3 hours away) with my family of 4 and two dogs and it was a dream to drive and fun to take on the road.

performance

As for handling and ride, Acura has always excelled,

Also drives well with very smoother engine and responsive transmission.

Latest model handles better, more safety features and best sound system i've ever heard in any vehicle.

Plenty of power and transmission shifts like

You will have to turn the car off, and restart for it to work.

It's plush without feeling too floaty and when you change your drive mode, you can still whip this thing in and out of corners with ease.

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.

Overall, there just isn’t enough distinction between the trims—same engines, transmission, gauge clusters, steering etc.

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.

The ride is super smooth and reasonably quiet.

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.

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

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

This car is beautiful and its rides excellent .

comfortable

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

but also performed great, comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

We want to feel comfortable driving anywhere in any weather.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

It’s plush, comfortable, and feels solid.

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.

2022 Honda Pilot

Kids love the rear entertainment system that comes with trims Touring and higher.

This is a family SUV with everything one needs!

The steering wheel will vibrate to let you know when you are not staying in your lane.

but the Pilot Touring passed all the handling tests.

feature

We are very happy with this new trim package and would recommend Honda products to anyone making a new purchase.

Now to the driving: it has the regular safety features that comes with most of the modern cars, very easy to drive and drives very well - have been using this just for couple of weeks

I love the space, relevant technology, comfort and safety features that my family will enjoy as we go on our adventures.

safety

The height of the Pilot along with all of the safety features gives you a good feeling when driving in heavy traffic.

I highly recommend this car for safety and comfort.

The leather interior with factory rubber floor mats will keep you comfortable inside and should provide good durability for years to come.Our only thing to add will be a tow package,so that we can install an Ebike rack.

The cabin feels very roomy, seats are comfortable.

2021 Mazda CX-5

transmission

Feels like the motor is winding while the transmission waits too long to up-shift.

I also find the engine noisy under acceleration with transmission shift hesitancy and roar.

The transmission hesitates and thumps (in lower gears), making cornering, stopping and starting terrible.

The main problem is the automatic transmission.

but the transmission .it some times shifts hard .

The BMW drives like a dream with a smoother transmission and ride, much better build quality, has a light interior, a panoramic sunroof, and a bigger gas tank with better gas mileage.

Not as good as we had hoped, I could change gear in a manual gearbox car quicker than this car changes, also for the money not at all good value, sad to say we are already talking about changing it for something else.

My only complaint would be the budget tires they use.

The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated.

noise

Wind noise while driving with windows down very irritable, Gas mileable ok

but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further.

just a solid, reliable, small SUV with enough cargo space for groceries and the occasional small furniture purchase.

But, hadn't owned a Mazda until my wife showed up with her new grocery getter.

I would highly recommend the CX-5 for a small family, or a single person.

This car is spacious for a small family of four to five and convenient to drive and there is a lot of horse power when you needed

The trunk space is plenty roomy for a small family with no kids, or one kid, and i love the one touch open and close feature.

Enough space for my family with two kids.

Are family is coming from a 2014 Buick Enclave.

However, the CX-5 transmission is solid and dependable with smooth shifts.

Mazda cuts corners with tech (especially) and cheaps out on some finishes to give you a 4-turbo and "soft touch" interior.

I like the manual shift option which I use in the winter and hilly terrain.

Great info, and wonderful responsiveness!

I was extremely pleased with that performance.

The small size is really nice for parking in tight spots, gas mileage and  making u-turns which I dreaded having to do in my F 150.

Turn out it had the same seats as the other and the signature had upgraded seats.

They both handle well, never had any issues with the 3 and expect the same with the CX5.

We like the stability of the AWD, the safety features, the responsive steering and the seats.

I’m absolutely loving my cx-5, there are so many safety features and it’s purely luxury

but gained a multitude of safety features, gas usage reduction  and it is as much fun to drive as the Acura.

but also tilts side to side, making selecting options easier than a touch screen.

The high tech features are a continuing irritation.

Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features.

This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I really like the cylinder cut-off feature.

I purchased this vehicle mostly based on its safety features,

The CX-5 Touring is recommended by Consumer Reports, is comfortable, quick and economical enough without the turbo engine.

At a glance, it’s very polished and riding around in it is plenty comfortable and seems luxurious.

The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Comfortable, packed with tech & safety and stylish.

but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

The interior is upscale, the exterior is classier than the competition.

The interior seems plush and refined compared to other models

It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market.

I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

Looks very classy and I love the interior of the CX5.

The interior design is very luxurious for a car that is inexpensive.

2021 Honda Civic

It's a perfect car choice for my family and I.

It has plenty of room inside for my family and I.

I am very pleased to have such a good looking family vehicle.

Plenty of room inside the car for my family.

We both agreed this would make a nice family car.

Really nice car that handles great, and has a good value reputation.

Small turbo engine for performance pick up.

Reliability is excellent, because the warranty this car carries.

Plenty of performance being a small turbo engine.

My car has a good value, and reliability.

I, like the leather steering wheel, and having heated comfortable seats.

Reliability, style, and comfortable seats.

fuel

I, bought this car just to get good gas mileage and to have a nice car that is low maintenance cost.

mileage

It's a fun car to drive being a small turbo type of car.

Nice stereo system with apple car play to enjoy the music.

Definitely affordable and it's a fun car to drive.

This car is fantastic and it's been fun driving it.

These cars are alot of fun driving around.

2021 Toyota Highlander

Go online and see how many people complain
About rattling noises with Highlanders !

Buyer beware don’t let the salesman crank up the AC or heat to try and drown out the terrible whistling noise that occurs between 35-45 MPH on 2021 Highlander.

Brand new 2021 with ONLY 800 miles, every time i drive on barely rough roads i hear rattle and buzz noise from driver side, dash and passenger side, also wind noise on 40MPH!!!

Replaced front hood molding, placed weatherstripping under the hood molding and whistling noise continues intermittently.

Been back to the dealer X3 already due to whistling noise stemming from front hood molding.

When I asked the dealership why mine was noisy and her car was not, they told me to bring it in and they would check it out.

Perhaps Toyota will do more in their vehicles to isolate road noises.

but uphill driving around 90-95km/hr the car is vibrating.

but i may get over it , fit and finish not very good , you put that volume up things are shaking and squeaking again something i don’t expect after spending all that money , 8 inch screen and backup camera are bad like graphics !

My brand new 2021 Toyota Highlander has very bad wind noise specially 40 mph.

windshield

A few days later it was raining lightly and now I noticed the intermittent auto sensing wipers no longer worked.

Also the limited Highlander is lacking auto wipers and thigh extensions found in my previous car of the same trim.

In addition, adhesive on the front windshield panel is starting to peel off.

The windshield has some reflections of the dash if your facing the sun.

lights

Just picked up a 2021 Platinum a $63,000 vehicle and didn't even get it off the lot before I had a warning light about faulty brakes.

They have a very harsh line on low beam that makes it a difficult to see in certain situation like when I am driving down hill on an up and down place in the road.

The car has a 12.5 inch navigation and radio display system.

however, with the radio on even at low volume, you won’t notice it at all.

The noise in the cabin at speeds over 55 mph are so loud even the radio is unable to cover the distraction of the tire noise.

We are a tall family (all over 6’) and the ‘21 Highlander has plenty of headroom and legroom.

Beautiful ride roomy and comfortable fits 6 people big trunk I recommend it to any one wants a beautiful big family car all my Friends and family loves my new ride

Great family car, it meets all my expectations!

specially because I have a big family, on plus , I love the smoothly ride and comfort

My dog loves to watch everything from the console and before I knew it, he had all the controls pushed in so I will clearly have to have him ride in the back from now on. Lol.

Great standard features , excellent ride and interior is all quality materials  , perfect for family use and a long trip, definitely recommend this vehicle

I have 5 daughters in 5 states and I’m on enjoying my road trips.

My Dreams cars, 100% recomendó estas personas son lo máximo pregunten por himar y Rafael,  confort , clear , big , software good , soft

This car meets all of my needs great car excellent looking and plenty of room for my family and friends to enjoy it on long road trips or whatever I may desire.

It is beautiful, quiet, safe, and perfect for my husband, myself and our dog.

I also have noticed much better handling on curves.

The car-like ride and handling and the refinement sold us on the Toyota.

The steering is extremely smooth and easy.

but for not too happy with the 8 speed transmission.

Add reliability and low depreciation, and this car is a no brainer.

The safety features, reliability and reputation of the Toyota brand is 2nd to none.

Very comfortable ride, great performance, interior styling is very attractive, plenty of features and well thought out creature comforts.

This vehicle is head and shoulders above our 2016 Lexus RX350 in style, comfort, performance, and usability.

Our first Highlander is meeting our expectations, and we look forward to many years of enjoyment and reliability.

I think this latest Highlander version has hit the sweet spot for comfort and handling.

The car is very comfortable and I have a bad back so I am also picky about the ride.

The Highlander is a very comfortable ride!! !

The features and comfort of the vehicle are great and after having the vehicle for a week I keep finding things that make me more satisfied.

The comfort and drive is also very satisfying.

The car rides incredibly smoothly; I don’t think there is a smoother driving car out there if that is what you’re looking for.

Ride is incredible with a beautiful and very comfortable interior.

I like the riding comfort & back support of the seats as well as the visibility is better on an SUV as it sits up higher.

Solid ride, tangibly better than others in class with ride quality and noise insulation.

but I like the ride and maneuverability of vehicle.

The platinum package is incredibly loaded with all the latest technology.

The technology package is also great, what a difference makes to jump from a 2015 car to a 2021 model, this car knows what you need to do next and just does it for you automatically.

The added safety features and larger screen make this car especially easy to drive.

Smooth traction drive and smart acceleration, many useful features.

2021 Toyota Venza

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.
