2022 Mazda CX-5

turn-handling

compact

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.

engine

The maintenance and repair costs are more for those engines.

Engine has more engine noise than the 2.0 engine.

ride

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

service

Everyone at Empire Mazda in Huntington was wonderful from start to finish. AZ & Mike Farina were both very helpful and patient - 10 stars for service :)

Always followed up with me, great customer service and the best choice for me

2022 Hyundai Venue

(I'm 5'9")

- Extremely manueverable, turns on dime.

.drives awesome..great sterring radius when turning

The gas mileage is amazing and for a compact suv the storage is impressive.

mileage

Gas mileage is great - got 34 mpg first fill.

My thoughts on the 2022 Venue SEL (Galactic Gray):

- Better mileage than advertised (based on my driving so far).

Great gas mileage, very nimble in a parking lot.

feature

Very comfortable.Lots of safety features.

Comfortable and has a ton of safety options.

- Options are terrific on SEL trim, very good bang for buck.

fuel

2022 Hyundai Tucson

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.

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.

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

sporty

but it was never meant to be a sports car.

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.

panoramic

The panorama roof makes for a low ceiling

After going back and forth a lot of times the service department got the light to turn off resetting everything.

The vehicle handles well with the front wheel drive.

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.

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.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Looks great and very comfortable front and rear seats.

A very modern design that is comfortable roomy and full of technology I am very satisfied and please that I purchased this vehicle.

It has so much comfort, style and latest technology.

The interior looks great and feels comfortable.

This is my third Tucson and each generation keeps getting better. The exterior styling and interior comfort is exceptional; and the "Limited" trim has all the "bells & whistles."

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.

It has lots of pep and I get anywhere from 32 mpg, all the way up to 41mpg.

Gas mileage has gone up with every tank of gas and the car is very smoth on the highway!

I love many of the features and the gas milage is good.

Great gas millage and lots of bells and whistles.

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

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 .

Personal opinion here is the fact that this car has virtually everything option wise

This vehicle has more features than any other vehicle I have owned.

This is a great car for a great price if you’re looking for a vehicle that’s surely to be “Best in Class” and full of features I highly recommend the 2022 Hyundai Tucson.

2022 Kia Forte

The 2022 Kia Forte LXS offers very nice styling and design, a good set of convenient features and technology, excellent fuel economy, and decent power, handling and performance.

One of a kind car with great performance and fuel economy.

super comfortable, very fuel efficient good value for the price.reliable, comfortable a very good car for commute 100% Recommended,value for your money GT Line. 22

Great car, great gas mileage, sporty look and interior, all in all its been great so far and the gas mileage really helps out the price

Overall I would recommend this car to anyone seeking something fun to drive that is both sporty and also economical at the same time.

It's the GT line, so it has a definite sporty look.

power

but I will forgive the power for the reliability.)

Looks & drives good adequate power and smooth ride.

2022 Volkswagen Taos

lights

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

The stalling the engine does when you slow down makes it very dangerous because the car automatically wants to turn off when coming to a stop, the start/stop mode is supposed to help

To the Taos' credit, it does handle mountain passes very well, I've driven over 3 of them in Colorado so far and the Taos has performed well in that aspect, you can feel the turbo kick in as you begin to climb and it's a satisfying feeling.

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

room

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

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

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

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

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.

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 colors are brighter, the options better and mine has a huge sun roof.

Electrical/Technology: Related to Start/Stop and other safety features, the vehicle has some bugs that I'm hoping can be resolved.

The features are great: wireless Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, and an app to control the car through.

2021 Kia Seltos

Road noise is very noticeable and having a conversation with a passenger can be a bit difficult.

This even after Techs from two different dealerships test drove and declared 1) "That is not right" (when he felt the vibration) and 2) described in his report to KIA as "Excessive Steering vibration".

speed

Things I don’t like, only 2 proper cup holders, the front windshield wipers the lowest speed is too fast so if it’s drizzling out you have to keep turning the wipers on then turn them off.

The only true Con I have for this vehicle is the stiff jolt the vehicle occupants get when going over deep potholes and particularly bad speed bumps.

sensor

The only drawback I can truly say is the front collision sensor doesn't work too well when driving in heavy snow or slush.

It handles very well, unlike most suv's, and the turbo gets up and going very quickly.

but this is a game changer so easy to handle and the space is wonderful this definitely changed my mind

It takes curves with ease and I love the style of the running lights.

It handles great in the snow, rides smooth, and has a great pick up.

The power, handling and ride are all as expected - decent car for the money.

We love the styling, the features, the handling, and the passenger comfort.

I am impressed with the ride and how it handles on the rough curvy back roads for its class.

Great vehicle, no complaint, best warranty out there,good performance, nice features, safety ,compact color selection  are nice,interior nice features, exterior is great,handed great,  great on gas. .100%recommended

The styling is very good looking, Its a great driving sub compact that doesn't feel like one.

Nice compact car that comes with som many features that I’m still learning the car.

Other than those, I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a small SUV with power, comfort and safety.

AWD standard in the lower model plenty of visibility and confortable on long drives .

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

SMALL ENGINE BUT REALLY COMFORTABLE INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL VERSION OF THE RANGE ROVER.

but, I'm 6'3 300 lbs and I fit in this Seltos LX comfortable.

It is comfortable, affordable, and drives very smooth.

but felt the new styling and mileage made up for those comforts but als picked up some new features such as the automatic cruise control,auto headlights and remote start.So far very impressed with the new Seltos

Also, because of the safety features, my insurance drop like a stone!! !

Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver.

but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

It has all the safety features and amenities I wanted and needed.

but not too big, tons of safety features and I love the look of it.

Lots of safety features, great fuel economy, and value.

But that aside; this car has excellent responsiveness to driver demands, a very intuitive driver assistance package, a great sound system, comfortable seating all seating positions, great gas mileage (even in the thirsty Sport mode), and last

FOR THE PRICE & ALL OF THE OPTIONS ON IT & THE ROOM IN IT, IT WAS AN EXCELLENT BUY FOR THE PRICE OF IT .

Plenty of legroom for a small CUV good power in the non turbo version and alot of cargo room for a small vehicle .

Car all and beyond very reliable transportation and most of all space room to travel shopping sports gear with the children games and there team

Perfect for traveling with my family and has plenty of room for all of my grandbabies stuff.

Plenty of upfront room for me which was hard to find coming from a roomy 09 Pilot!

I'm Surprise it has allot of Leg Space as for general it's not the biggest Interior space

Excellent car has plenty of room very nicely designed.

2021 Kia Soul

The inside noise is not so high and the ride feels smooth.

The only issue I have is the heat/AC fan makes an awful noise and it affects the output of heat/air intermittently.

radio

My only complaint is the radio, no CD and it sounds one dimensional and flat.

It's nice, the only thing I don't like I have to download Sirus radio and contected to the usb .

Handling is secure and sure footed and the safety suite (lane departure, pedestrian (rear) and vehicle detection (front & rear), active braking in the front and rear ABS etc) is very welcome.

I love the way it handles on the road too.

It has lots of room, handles beautifully and is just fun to drive!

Sits well on my back and has great control handling on the road.

It's perfect for driving short and long distances and we love all of the features such as auto lights that even dim brights so other drivers aren't blinded, lane correction, and auto turn and off to conserve fuel and decrease emissions when stopped.

The ride itself is very smooth and the car handles very well casually and when I'm in a hurry.

Reliable, easy handling, has all tech stuff I need, best safety features and excellent warrantee.

It handles well, is beautiful in design and is priced affordably.

The car handles well and I love the safety features.

Great handling and comfortable quiet car.

The sedan is nice and compact enough to get into spots that are not too big.

The seats are the most comfortable I have ridden in.

Back seat is comfortable and leg room is great.

As with all the Kia Souls style since it debuted, the 2021 Soul is  stylish, comfortable with lots of leg room and great on gas.

smooth ride for a small car, very roomy, great gas mileage, comfortable seats, good pick up, reasonable price,stylish ,nice backup camera, sunroof,bluetoooth handsfree phone calling

it could be more comfortable and have a lot more options

Love the Comfort, Cargo Room, Gas Mileage, & Looks!

This vehicle is very comfortable and easy to drive.

Not only is the car comfortable and roomy on the inside, it also provides a smooth ride.

The inside of the car has a lot of head space.

This car has plenty of room , great gas miles and looks great.

It has the room I was looking for and has high ratings.

She has great leg room and space to lay down if we are traveling.

but it more than makes up for it with its interior space.

loaded with technology and plenty of interior room.

Ventilated seats are an option on Soul's sold in Canada

It also has some great safety features alongside great versatile utility that some competitors just aren’t offering.

I would have liked some extra tech features

And it t has pretty much every other feature of the Genesis.

Get most value with it and a lot of safety features.

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

but for me it is fine a little noisy but great.

On good roads it is quiet and drives smoothly, there is some Road noise over rough roads,

warranty

Not covered under warranty or extended warranty 😡 cost me 525.00 to fix.

Dealership tells me its in my head about trans ummm ok. and stripping isn't covered under warranty ans pushes it back in.

leather

The only things I noticed it doesn't have is leather seats and a heated steering wheel, which none of the packages offer.

It has all the new safety features and is very quick and handles nicely.

Fun to drive, speeds up quickly, turns tight on corners and curves, and looks really great interior/exterior-wise.

The ride is good, it handles very well has plenty of power for a 1.3 turbo and the appearance is sporty.

Love the size, the handling and the look.

It handles so well on the road as well as the snow.

I also like the handling, acceleration, and economy of the Trailblazer, though the suspension is slightly stiff,

It brakes and turns on a dime and has beautiful interior and exterior finishes.

Snappy engine, great handling, nice ride and beat all the competitors (CR-V, HR-V, Rav4, Tuscon, Santa Fe, CX-5) hands down.

I researched many compact SUVs, it is actually a great value at an affordable price!

Comfortable roomy just a great bang for your buck.

comfortable ride and good value of the price that we paid

but this TrailBlazer Activ is already the best, most comfortable, sharpest car I've ever owned.

Drive is very comfortable, plenty of interior room, great looking exterior.

Surprisingly roomy, accelerates great, comfortable seats, looks sporty, great mpg, would recommend this nice sized SUV to everyone. Chevrolet.

Packed with features, comfortable, roomy, fun to drive, all in a great looking package.

Very comfortable even on long trips, the design is outstanding, I get complements all the time, the interior is exceptional in workmanship, style and lots of room.

car has plenty of options and looks really good.

Drives great, it’s loaded with so many safety and convenience features.

I was looking for a SUV and  I love all of the safety features that the Trailblazer has.

Has all the same features as the car  I turned in making the transitions easy.

From the exterior design to the beautiful interior, packed with features and technology for comfort and reliability, I'm blown away.
