2023 Mazda CX-50

audio-system

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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

turn-handling

Even at high speeds, this little truck eats up the curves like a more expensive luxury vehicle.

seat

Ergonomics just don't work for long drives, door handles are in an awkward position and even with a tremendous amount of seating positions I could not get comfortable on a 180 mile trip.

Rear seat lifts up when grabbed with fingers.

I also love my ventilated seats on hot summer days and the panoramic roof.

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

Very noisy at highway speeds with the 20" wheels/tires.

fuel

Gas mileage (Measured by fill up) was 23.5 miles per gallon on a 360 mile round trip and the trip computer showed 27.6 mpg's Build quality seems okay

The fuel efficiency is not as advertised.

2023 Audi Q5

power to weight ratio is great with a smooth power curve during acceleration.

The sport seat option with ventilated seats are firm and comfortable and interior features are rich and functional; everything is where we want it to be which enhances the driving experience.

2023 Kia Soul

It handles well, has abundant acceleration, and brakes smoothly and quickly.

It seats five comfortably and has a very generous cargo bay that is easy to load and unload.

2022 Toyota Highlander

steering

There is just not a comfortable position for your left elbow with your left hand on the steering wheel.

Manual steering wheel tilt
The map doesn't utilize the full 12.3 wide screen
Function

The heated steering wheel, also in this model, is mediocre at best as it does not heat the back side of the steering wheel and over heats the front.

but it has auto start, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats, panoramic Sun roof, large screen with JBL speakers and Apple car play.

large-size

I really think Toyota should either make the arm rest in the door bigger or put an actual armrest on the side of the driver’s seat.

noise

Mileage is not what I expected and the noise on the highway is just flat unbearable.

The hybrid version is powerful enough just a bit noisy when starting off and going up an incline.

It feels more solid, less road noise and has all the bells and whistles.

After 30 miles I have a headache from the noise and hard to walk from the cheap seats.

wheel

On the positive side I like the styling and handling.

It handles very well and the turning radius is excellent considering it’s size.

Excellent quality, adequate tech, good economy, drives very quiet and smooth, very comfortable seating, vary comfortable second row captain’s style seating, extra large cargo capacity with third row seating folded down.

The seats are massive, so super comfortable.

I Paid nearly $50k for the new 2022 Highlander and it didn't even come with memory seats!

Great features-even has shades for the 2nd row

3rd row seats are for children, not adults.

The front seats are comfortable and in this model they are heated and ventilated.

Access to the third row seats has been make easier than the 2011.

comfortable

I think the design is a good balance of functionality and comfort.

It’s comfy and drives amazing and roomy and sporty and not a typical mom car as my husband doesn’t mind driving it either ! !

You can always find a comfortable position with these seats.

feature

The idea of a self driving car strikes me as laughable when they can’t get this feature to work very well.

A few other options that could have been included with that price point and several options that came with it I will never use!

The panoramic sunroof is awesome as is the stereo on the platinum pkg.

Minor issues that I will gladly live with in order to get all of the other features that I like so much.

It has all the features my previous one didn’t have that I wanted and the price was reasonable compared to what new SUV’s are going for theses days.

All the other features on the XLE are driver programmable and makes customizing the car to your requirements/preferences.

room

I like how much space there is in the trunk, could fit a ton!

Plenty of space to haul stuff and people.

Lots of cargo space when 3rd row seats are folded down.

More than ample cargo space, especially when second and third row seats are down.

There is plenty of room in the second row seats, haven’t needed to use the third row seats so plenty of cargo room.

2022 Subaru Outback

Try going around a corner using driver assist to get a idea of how a ping pong ball feels.

The best is cars turning Radius! Awesome.

Seat heater, can't turn it on from the screen, have to hit it, open another screen and then click again.

First off the brown leather interior is beautiful, second vented seats, heated steering wheel and what a sound system! We're seniors and this will probably be our last car, talk about going out on top ;)

pros: Smooth ride, pretty quiet interior, nice seats, sound system is good.

Altho the cloth seats could be more comfortable, love everything else except the car shutting off at stops.

I found the seat material to be very warm to the touch and completely unbreathable.

There are some positives: the seats are very comfortable and the ride is good.

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.

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.

Love the large screen and safety equipment.

Very safe, comfortable and nice car to drive.

The vehicle was highly rated and is very comfortable,

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

This is the nicest riding most comfortable car I have ever owned.

interior

The grey, twede, cloth interior is beautiful.

Love the Java brown interior .Chevy buyer the last 20 yrs.

The vehicle looks great on the exterior and the interior design was exceptional, including the large display screen which is extremely easy to use and quite intuitive.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

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.

It also affects heated seats, cooling seats, no wireless charging, no usb charging.

Looks luxury and ventilated seats feel luxury.

Looks great and very comfortable front and rear seats.

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

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.

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."

mileage

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 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.

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

Power seats have a lot of room for adjustments and the steering wheel telescopes.

When getting in the car you made it easy to understand how to adjust my seat before driving off.

I'm also 5'6" so I could only imagine how folks 5'7" and above might feel in that seat.

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

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.

ride

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.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

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.

child

Loved being the first to show this baby off.

I would never recommend it to a family with children.

It handles exceptionally well in all kinds of weather.

Tech is very good and it turns heads wherever I go.

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

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

The back seats are truly intended for humans.

The interior is first class and high tech with everything I need including heated seats.

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

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

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.

I own a full size gas guzzling pick up so my interest in the Santa Cruz had little to do with hauling or towing.

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

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

2022 RAM 1500

E Torque Hemi is a strong package, smooth ride and handling.

Zero road noise and it handles beautifully.

expansive rear seat space 

Lockable tonneau cover offers some bed security.

The rear seat has more legroom than any SUV we were looking at and is really comfortable.

The cloth seats are the nicest I have seen.

It’s packed with all kinds of towing features and 4x4 features also!

Bed liner and bed rug complete the bed package ..

Got the 10th anniversary edition pkg, great colors, interior and very quiet.

Love the 12” screen that was executed well -easy to use - getting to different features on screen- can’t say enough abiut the truck.

The ride comfort, the technology, advance safety features and infotainment system are all excellent.

Interior space is plenty big for us and our two young kids to travel in.

Interior is fantastic, has excellent power.

Interior design and ergonomics are superior to comparable Silverado and F150s I test drove.

Beautiful Vehicle- the interior is awesome and Hemi oh man what power and performance!

but it rides with the comfort of a car and has all the features you reasonable need.

And finally it has a very firm ride kind of bouncy firm, no bueno.

2022 Kia Carnival

It drives super easy, compared to 3 other makes it definitely handles the best with no blind spots.

Seats in the back are great for the kids.

The back seats fold into the floor which is a great feature when extra space is needed.

There is adequate usb charging for each chair.

I love the safety features and the comfort.

Roomy,comfortable and nice build quality.

family

If you are looking for a very safe, reliable, comfortable, unique, and family friendly vehicle and not break the bank doing so or wasting money on so many add ons or warranties, The Kia Carnival is for you.

I feel like Kia could have done much more in that regard considering that a van is generally meant for a larger family, which means an excess of stuff.

I got family that’s Kia fans and recommend me test drive one, it was nice I wasn’t too impressed with it, it had that familiar feel when I test drove a Sedona many years ago, felt cheap in my opinion..but to each their own.
