2019 Chevrolet Corvette

transmission

And reading these reviews must be true about the transmission problems.

the manual transmissions are bad and Chevrolet knows it.

but trading it in and walking away.to many concerns going on with the engine and transmission.

The transmission is designed to jump down to the best power gear on hard throttle so be ready for that before you floor it.

turn-handling

There’s no fear to loose control as it handles very well .

ft. of torque, superb handling, acceleration, braking, and good reliability (except the auto trans, I bought the manual) .

Speed, torque, precision handling, fantastic interior trim, especially the 3LT.

The adjustments made in the ride and handling made by the engineers over the life of the C7 and the paint and finish just got better right up to the last production year.

Additionally, the GM 0% financing for 84 months was just to good to turn down and I received a nice discount well below the sticker price.

Over all the car is just as I have imagined it for years-----very fast , very low slung and handles like nothing I have ever driven-----it is a joy to take corners and have virtually no lean !

This is  650 HP of excilerating FAST and extreme handling.

but, surprisingly, the Corvette seems to hold the road much better in curves.

.Love the way it handles lots of response, very comfortable ride, and it’s a Beautiful Car!! !

paddle

I have not used the manual paddle shift much yet

Drivability is excellent, styling outstanding, zo6 crazy fast, 2lt interior and accessories are the best value, 8 speed auto manual paddle shift requires a learning curve, some paint and exterior panel finishes need improvement across the brand.

Paddle shifters easy to work   Exhaust notes in all modes  from Track to Economy sound great   Best gas mileage is in economy which I was getting 26mpg and worst was in sport mode only getting 13mph.

sporty

And the grand sport makes 0 -60 mph in 3.8 secs.

but this Grand Sport does everything well.

I believe GM overall did a great job constructing a world class sports car that is a tremendous value.

I bought the Corvette Grand Sport because it was a great financial deal.

No reason to by the European sports cars.

The MRC is a must with the even lower profile tires, in sport mode you can feel the suspension track every contour

I’ve looked at other sports cars and this is by far one of the best for your money.

Great performance and handling sports car.

comfortable

It is reliable and comfortable to use as a daily driver, and has enough performance to take it to the track.

Power and comfort is amazing the styling is breath taking the quality is just fantastic  the entertainment system is the best I have ever heard you just become part of the car when driving it

Comfortable, Stylish, Gets the looks, Very Reliable, easy to get service by my local dealership  Raymond Chevrolet.

Great technology sounds awsome hit the gas and your gone .the interior of the car is setup for the driver very comfortable easy to read all gauges fun car love it

It rivals my top of the line Porsche stuff - and is much more comfortable and functional.

Cannot be beat for the value and fun factor

It fun to drive has plenty of performance for the money.

You’ll save some money instead of buying the C8 and still have a lot of fun and adrenaline all around your body.

A fun car that can only be used in warm weather on good days.

To me, there’s only one reason to own one. FUN.

This car is an eye catcher and a lot of fun to drive the color is popping and the power is amazing really enjoy it

Is truly a delight to drive and I've owned and raced nearly every exotic out there.

2019 Mazda CX-3

They told us that transmission problems are so rare that they never actually had one at the dealership.

Chose the CX3 over Honda, Nissan cause don’t care for non responsive CVT transmission.

It drives and handles great -- very maneuverable and easy to park. Peppy.

I have not noticed noise as an issue, has the tightest steering I've ever enjoyed with the smallest turning radius.

The CX-3 also was much more fun to drive with tight handling and acceptable acceleration.

It has good pick-up and handling is smooth.

I struggle with blind spot visibility sometimes for when i want to turn and look.

The CX3 drives like a sporty car, handles well.

I just love the way it handles when in traffic and on the highway.

I like the efficiency and handling of this car.

Everything what was stated about how great this car handles is true.

It is quieter than Miata, not quiet as good in corners,

GTE models have paddle shifters in addition to the sport mode.

But if you feel inclined, paddle shifters and stick shift works well.

Love the paddle shifting and quick nimble drive.

So much fun to drive and great gas mileage.

but if you are ok with limited space, it’s so fun.

Although the CX-3 is small, it packs a ton of fun to drive.

I enjoy interactive technology that comes with the GTE version.

fuel

It’s small, which is what I wanted, good on gas, and oh so pretty!!

Excellent in gas , I really would like to know what the performance is in the snow .

The gas mileage is comparable for an SUV which this is, technically,

My CX-3 was priced great for the sporty style, tech features and fuel economy.

Great gas mileage  and performance and in great shape .

Equally as pleasing is the phenomenally good gas mileage I enjoy -- 32mpg on average.

Good fuel economy, I-activ safety sense features and AWD works great for this little CUV (more like a hatchback), good ext&#47;int design and quality materials used in cabin.

It's a Minnie suv, Im tall, so its comfortable for me.

I was looking for comfort and the full safety package, lane departure alert, blind spot monitoring, back up camera, brake assist, front collision braking, cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise.

For every day comfort, a quiet ride, good gas economy, relaxing and fun to drive, i'd recommend this easy cleaning, pleasant looking vehicle.

Very comfortable and the ride is so smooth.

In the GTX which I purchased is very comfortable and fairly quiet.

2019 Volkswagen Arteon

noise

The only complaints I have is tire noise (which isn't terrible).

The replacement mirror did not fix the noise as I did not expect it to since it is the same design.

Road noise is, indeed, a little loud for a premium car - and the R-Line 19” wheels do in fact roughen the ride a bit - I specifically had to search for a non-R-Line SEL.

I also agree that the silly R-Line appearance package be avoided, and the oversized wheels just roughen the ride and make road noise louder.

Three issues I had is it tends to get a little noisy at high speeds,  important safety features are lacking at entry level, and the infotainment system needs to be brought a little higher.

Only real complaint .. initial quality is just OK.   Two weeks after delivery I have it in the shop for some minor fixes including an annoying vibration sound.

The trunk is well designed, lighting is great, handling is amazing.

Handling is nimble, especially in long sweepers.

The Arteon is following in those footsteps when it comes to quality, craftsmanship, and overall handling

Fit and finish is superb, as you expect fr the Germans, gas mileage has exceeded the EPA estimates, and handling is like a car costing $20K more.

Excellent style and handling and unpretentious branding from VW.

In general I feel good when I sit in the car and turn the engine on.

Tight cornering, and the drive modes actually change the experience.

the music system sounds that good. Also enjoy the large sunroof, the paddle shifters when I gotta beat the BMW 3-series anything, and the digital dash ("gauge cluster" - those Germans!)

Power is amazing when you use the paddle shifters.

When you get tired of the “comfort mode” and want performance just put it in the “sport mode” and use the paddle shifters for a more aggressive driving experience.

It is roomy inside for me, and my wife can move the seat all the way up and forward and make it comfortable for her to reach the pedals.

It’s easy to drive, and the seats are way comfortable into Audi territory.

The seats are very comfortable with highest daily hours at 5, multiple other drives at 3+ hours.

Very comfortable to ride in and blast to drive!!! !

The car is very comfortable and has TONS of room, both for passengers and for cargo.

The seats are amazingly comfortable yet functional, stylish, and handsome.

The Arteon interior is well laid out and very comfortable.

But if you don't push the chassis and expect to drag race from light to light, you will be rewarded with a plush and comfortable ride.

This makes the ride supremely comfortable over rough roads.

This car is very fun to drive, and I get compliments on it often.

VW decided to get back to making those fun to drive cars with the Arteon.

Drive this car is sports mode for more fun!

Pure joy to drive short or long distance (in whatever mode you're feeling: Economy, Comfort, Sport, or "Custom") and, I have effortlessly done 120mph when these flat, never-ending Arizona highways are Covid empty.

My 2019 Arteon SE w/ four motion is a joy to drive.

Fun to drive, like it way better than the Accord.

and fun sexy fastback with the cargo volume of a small SUV.

room

You’ll love the storage and back seat spaces.

This is a fantastic car for the money - considering the loaded features, all wheel drive, hatchback, room and design.

Incredible cargo space, very fast if you do the shifting yourself, beautiful interior and exterior and pricing in hi end Honda and Toyota range after discounts.

This vehicle has met all my needs has a lot of room front and rear very stylish very comfortable and is well equipped with technology has plenty of USB ports as of now seems very functional and easy-to-use.

my must-have list includes hatch or wagon, room for 4 comfortably, AWD, and good power with athletic moves when need be,

2019 Volkswagen Golf R

My only criticism:  noisy tires at high speed and a few rattles in the cabin.

My only complaint is the 19" Continental high performance tires which can be somewhat noisy at high speed.

My only concern is the high performance 19" Continental tires which can be quite noisy at high speed, depending on the pavement.

There is also a bit of a creak coming from the passenger rear which sounds structural.

color

And there’s no way I can afford the TTS, so I opted for a 2019 VW Golf R in one of the 40 special-order Spektrum colors.

port

I wish the 12V outlet were co-located with the USB port in front of the shifter so my radar detector cord didn't stretch across the cup holders to the base of the center arm rest.

tire

Because the car is AWD, there is no tire spin or other drama leaving the line,

You have to bring your own spare tire with the Golf R and decide where to put it (the cargo area being the most obvious choice).

Fanstastic car, superbly well made, solid, fit and finish is superb, is super QUICK, handles like it's on rails, fantastic brakes, and steering, superbly comfortable supportive, no back aches seats for long 6 hour drives.

You can feel that car use the rear axle to pivot the vehicle when going around curves.

It's super quick, handles like a dream, and I find it really comfortable.

In fairness, where the weight in the back affects cornering and nimbleness, it also helps tracking so the R goes exactly where you direct it to go albeit with a little harsher ride.

), handling (yes even better), tuning of suspension, engagement with the transmission (much more direct,

Comfortable, super QUICK, handles fantastically, feels like you are connected, and in total control, in all conditions.

The little 2L 4 cylinder definitely puts a smile on my face every time I give it gas and the awesome AWD compliments it perfectly when taking harsh corners.

Nice performance, handling and practicality, all rolled into one car.

Besides the looks of the car which is the turning point for most people, the car was great.

AWD, you can really feel the car control its self in rain and in corners.

While the DSG with paddle shifters on the TT is lightning fast and fun, it still isn’t as fun as manual transmission in my opinion.

The DSG is very responsive; rarely have to use the paddle shifters to downshift.

This car is tight, grounded, fun, responsive, fast.

It's a step above the GTI, bigger tires, the 4 motion gives extra grip, and much more powerful, SUPER QUICK, I had 2 GTI's that where great, this is much better GTI's had no issues lots of fun also, Golf R is a step UP

The car is fun, confortable, practical and loaded with the latest hi tech equipment.

After looking at many vehicles, the golf r checked all the boxes and gave me a fun,  premium spec, car that puts a smile on my face, gets good gas milage and has awd for snowy days.

If you want to be a sedate, little hatchback, engage ECO or Comfort mode and enjoy the ride.

Sporty, high quality, comfortable, and a blast to drive.

The R has definitely exceeded my expectations in every way from performance to comfort and technology.

golf

The fun and feel that the Golf R "manual" conveyed to me was unmatched.

Can’t say enough good things about this Golf R.

but when I drive em back to back I prefer the luxury and refinement of the R. I drive the golf like I stole it, racing everybody who lines up at the light here in Philly.

The equipment level of the Golf R is top notch.

I have been driving my 2019 Golf R for almost two years with close to 24,000 km and very few to no issues at all.

for top of line golf, needs these features: remote start, (seat, mirrors) memory for each driver profile, real time psi tire pressure monitoring for each individual wheel, as well as temporary spare tire.

Upgraded to the newest Golf R Gen 7.5 and I have to say there is a significant difference between the two cars, not just in terms of price.

but the Golf R, is indeed a step up, very noticeable.

In my opinion, the Golf R is better than the GTI in every way, except for the price.

2018 Honda Accord

Luckily , mine does not have any of the rattle issues reported by others.

Cons: noisy low-profile Michelin tires, sub-par stereo speakers, road noise at high speeds, accessing the console &#38; the driver's seat is taking on the color of my clothing (I'm gonna have to try some saddle soap on them).

but goes away after a few minutes of driving, driver side window noise around 60mph in cold weather, and rear tire wear.

Smoth riding with a quiet interior (some tire noise).

Rides very hard and noisy from road noise and pavement cracks.

but I've had issues with rattling and vibrating front dash, back speakers and diver side door from the get go.

My only real complaint is that there is A LOT of road noise.

I am very disappointed with the rattles noise that is coming from the dash.

Cheap tires, cheap interior and the exterior is very thin  with poor quality paint that doesnt quite match.

The only thing is with the low profile tires the ride can get a little rough.

but are a bit noisy on textured roads—the expected down side of low profile tires.

The only other thing is it does have some road noise with the tires, depending on the type of road surface.

We have been told something different as to it’s the tires to it’s nothing to it’s us not rotating them.

windshield

Dealer inspected it and found the windshield to be leaking.

Build quality in first 1800 miles: Hood seems to be misaligned and visibly shakes/vibrates on the drivers side closest to the windshield in windy conditions on the highway; buzzing sound seemingly from deep in dash right behind radio display. 4.

but it doesn't stay stable in the car vents and I don't want to stick it on the dashboard or windshield.

bumper

If there are ever any fender benders this car will absolutely get damaged because the material is so thin and fragile.

Had issue with the sensor at the bottom of the bumper.

The front bumper area is hardened plastic and it does not even cover the front of the car.

warranty

After a terrible experience with Toyota’s 2010 Camry and a big disappointment with the extended warranty purchased at Toyota in Charlotte NC I decided to try a different maker.

Plus maintenance costs after the warranty were 2-3x any other "normal" car - absolutely not worth it.

Four month later same thing the fuel door won't open again, luckily, I am still under 36K mile factory warranty, so took it back to the Honda dealer again and they fixed it again.

This car is never been to the dealer for warranty repair or defects.

But on this one issue Honda claims the noise&#47;vibration (there from day one) does not merit a warranty claim.

An hour and a half later I received a call from the service department telling me they had bad news, that the sensor on the car had been damaged and that the repair would not be covered by the warranty.

It actually handles well in all weather including a little bit of snow.

The steering correction will turn the wheel because it saw dark lines in the road that it mistook for lane lines.

Love the ability to adjust and set the seat for driving comfort of two people, like the roominess and capacity for 3 people In the back seat and smooth handling.

Acceleration, braking, and handling are better than many self-proclaimed "Sport Sedans".

There is so much room and it handles well.

Switch in to sport mode around corners and in Mountain Roads you will never be disappointed ever it handles so perfect it's solid easy predictable sturdy fast smooth perfect I can't say enough great words about it

The front air foil is REALLY low too, and wide at the corners, watch-out!

The on front window display of speed and turn directions  for gps keeps eyes on road not looking to speedometer or gps.

Not only does it handle the switchbacks, the 1.5T is unaffected by the 9000 ft elevation, and the refined CVT does not continually hunt for the right 'gear'.

Excellent paddle shift performance and good speeding.

Nice features that you won't find on competitors include brake hold, paddle shifters, electronic parking brake.

It's got stylish alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, paddle shifters for sport mode, and much more.

Like the sporty feel and with the paddles.

If you are a family man and still would like to drive a sporty car with 10 speed automatic with paddle shifters,  Honda finally delivered !!!

I am really enjoying the cooled ac seats and paddle shifters (sport mode), lots of torq in first-third gear - ridiculous cornering in  sport mode with absolutely no body roll from that adaptive dampering thing.
