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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

feature

I had been dying for a Mazda with this option, and finally, the cx-50 answered the call.

steering

A note on the steering wheel, it feels fantastic.

Well put together at a plant shared with Toyota; responsive throttle, precise, heavy steering, practical interior layout with physical

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.

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.

2023 Hyundai Tucson

The 4 cylinder gets up and goes; large tires, Bose System, safety features the best and so much better steering than my  Murano .

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.

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

but just need to learn how to configure the seat heater and steering heat for remote start on cold days.

The 8 speed transmission is smooth, and the steering is responsive.

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

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.

fuel

overall I am extremely happy with my Tuscon, great gas mileage even around town, 30mpg.

Gas mileage is better than expected, my daily (mostly highway) commute averages around 28-29 mpg at 80-85 MPH.

The only good thing a out this vehicle was the AWD and the fuel economy.

Our salesperson encouraged us to go a step further to a plug-in hybrid, and we're glad we listened to him, especially with gas prices as they are now.

Love how smooth this car runs and great on gas.

Has increased passenger and cargo room from last year and very good on gas for this size SUV.

Gas filler door can be opened by anyone because Hyundai cheapened the vehicle by eliminating the inside release.

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.

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.

As some who uses the steering wheel controls, lack of a volume knob is a non-issue.

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.

The Tucson model is a delight to drive with a large array of easy-to-use technology.

I’ve had this car for roughly a year and it has been a pleasure to drive.

We will enjoy our new Tucson for years to come.

I think the most fun I have is using the Sport mode while driving on mountain roads.

The acceleration is effortless and I enjoy the dynamic cruise control.

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

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

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 Hyundai Santa Cruz

port

Even using USB cable to connect Android Auto, the system has a hard time maintaining connection at 50&#37; of the time.

I was advised the items: tonneau cover, bed lights and electric cord in bed will take 3 to 4 months till dealers will be in stock. Bummer

heat/air-control

At night switch’s climate controls from whatever you have it set on to defrost and fogs windows up.

While driving the dual wet clutch transmission went into neutral while on a highway.

lane-assist

Even the SEL has electric seat adjustment, tilt steering wheel, heated seats, backup assistance, lane assist, blind spot and other alerts.

but the blind spot warning and various camera modes offset the issues.

child

Loved being the first to show this baby off.

I would never recommend it to a family with children.

Since I will not utilize the full capabilities of the Truck like features of the Maverick - I LOVE THE SC for the SUV qualities, along with the hard tonneau covered back truck bed; it's the "type" of vehicle I have been wanting for a long time ever since I visited Brazil and Colombia and witnessed the variety of small trucks in those 2 countries.

Overall, I don’t think there’s a more versatile option.

I'm now spoiled by the safety features and large touch screen.

All the goodies you can imagine and a great warranty.

Comes with all the tech and safety features I want and it's VERY well made.

I have the SEL which has all the features I need without overloading the vehicle or my ability to operate it safely.

Super comfort, nice features, the AWD-i system works nice on my everyday snow road… the bed isn’t huge,

The safety features are great and the truck bed is surprisingly useful despite its small size.

it's very comfortable and with a power driver's seat & tilt/telescoping steering wheel you would have to be a one armed monkey if you can't find a sweet spot.

This is nearly the quality, comfort and full performance value of a BMW or Audi - which I have owned the X3 and the Q5.

Very comfortable, great for my work purpose, wish it got better gas mileage.

I absolutely love it - it’s comfortable, handles well, the bed is really useful and the gas mileage is pretty good.

A recent 300 mile day trip confirmed that the seats are comfortable and well padded.

It drives like an SUV, it’s smooth, fairly quiet, and comfortable, and at the end of the day, I can haul most anything I need outside of professional construction equipment.

The car drives great and the comfort and concept of it are outstanding.

We love this trucklet, it's my wifes fav car ever, plenty of power and very comfy, low wind noise and bed comes in handy, mpg not super

I’d love something a bit more rugged and fun to look at.

Fun to drive, the gas mileage is good at 25 MPG.

I've only had it just over a month, and it is just a fun, smooth riding little yard waste hauler.

It's fun and easy to drive and really turns heads.

It’s really fun to drive with tons of power, great handling and is super quiet.

but has a bed that's really useful for all the wet stuff when I go kayaking, as well as for other messy fun outdoor sports stuff.

With the 2.5L turbo, it’s got a ton of power and is really fun to drive on winding backroads.

mileage

While both of these trucks are excellent as small trucks, the SC wins my favor as a comfortable, quicker accelerating and nearly as good MPG (compared to the Mav 2.0 L EcoBoost.

As far as gas mileage, I have gotten 30+ MPG on occasion.

I still recommend it, because for all the grief I sometimes get from people who drive ‘real’ trucks, my Santa Cruz hauls air just as well as their Ram or F150, and I get 30 mpg on the highway at 65mph.

Better gas mileage, even with the turbo and uses regular gas.

I have the Limited and have gotten better gas mileage then advertised

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..

Ford needs to eliminate the small storage compartment on the right of the screen since it is useless and in my view eliminate the electrical outlet in the rear seating area to be replaced with an AC vent.

The only thing you have to move eye focus to is the touch screen radio--unless you have your phone connected and can just use CarPlay to do everything.

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

I got the XLT trim with only 2 options,  the Blind Spot and the 2.0 Eco Boost engine for more power.

If you want to do something to be environmentally responsible, this is a very "minimalist" option that let's you walk the walk.

the vehicle handles like a small, has a comfortable driving position lots of options and nothing else out there looks like it!

Great features, Great truck, little package

I get all the perks of having a truck, and 41 miles to the gallon.

The safety features have kept me clear of several potentially dangerous situations, and I am mostly pleased with how the systems function together.

A lot of tech/nerd options that are actually good driving improvements.

My 2022 Ford Maverick XL AWD with tow Package
Powerful and proven 2.0 turbo charged motor mor torque than a Toyota Tacoma
Comfortable to drive and sit in on long trips, plenty of large widows for a good view of traffic.

We bought the Maverick Hybrid with luxury pkg and it took 9 months ; worth it.

Love the heated steering wheel in the cold weather as it keeps you toasty warm.

Of the features offered, I opted for the Ecoboost engine, FX4 Off-road AWD package, 4K towing package, power recepticle in the cabin, heated seats and steering wheel, sunroof, and a few other odds and ends to make it a useful and comfortable diet work truck.

4 can ride nicely,back seat has just enough room.

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

the vehicle is fun to drive the ride is smooth and the build quality seems to be very good, no squeaks or rattles.

It rides great, accelerates just fine, and has more than adequate room for 4.

the truck rides great, it's very smooth and extremely quiet.

The ride is much better than my 2019 Civic.

Solid, roomy,  great performance,  nice smooth and quiet ride for a pickup.

Enough room for a 6'1" man at 260 to enjoy driving or riding in the Maverick.

The ride us much smoother and quieter than the Tacoma it has replaced and I'm using less than half the gas.

but when I sat in one at a local car show,  I realized my Maverick was much more roomier and comfortable than the full size Bronco.

Exceeds expectations: Beautiful design, perfect size, drives fantastic, comfortable on long trips, great visibilty, and its QUIET.

but big uses, no issues at 12k, very comfortable and drives great!
