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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

turn-handling

There were much less body roll when I was twisting and turning in city streets.

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

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

seat

Extremely uncomforatable small seats that have a stripe down the middle that constantly jabs into your

The seats are less comfortable than CX-5 Preferred trim, as I also own one.

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

The base engine is more than enough in city and highway driving.

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.

Overall, the CX-50 is a  stylish in/out, fun to drive SUV with most things I look for.

It was so much fun, and I was so proud of my little Mazda!

2023 Kia Telluride

You can remote start the vechicle, set the temperature, turn on the heated/cooled seats, etc based on the climate.

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.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

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.

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

but so far can handle the Wisconsin winter.

This one handles great in all weather types.

Headlights are bright and consistent, and stretch wide enough to see the sides of the road without blinding others or turning on the brights.

The rear turn indicators are low and the bumper.

It handles well, is quiet at lower speeds;( with exception of noisy backup alert).

The car felt very stable cornering (sends power to rear wheels when cornering) even fully loaded.

but would have been nice to have adaptive headlights or fog lights for better cornering at night.

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

Among my favorite features in my standard Blue model: wireless Apply CarPlay (usually an expensive option even in luxury cars), standard AWD, attractive cloth seating and a lot of soft touch surfaces, a power adjustable driver’s seat, and a nice, responsive touch screen.

Looks luxury and ventilated seats feel luxury.

Plenty of space - actually more than we need in the back seat
6.

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.

(No affiliation with them in any way, just a happy customer for many years) Lots of cargo space, and a nice big back seat as well.

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.

feature

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

2022 Subaru Outback

navigation

With my vehicle it was that the voice activation of the nav and search systems simply didn't work.

Unfortunately the infotainment screen is laggy and shuts off randomly shutting down everything except the engine,, safety systems, radio, gps, ac are all used through the laggy screen.

Infotainment can be a little touchy, wish nav used Google maps.

Electronics are consistently awful, from the (not really) voice-activated navigation to the slow, finicky touch-screen that controls nearly everything.

button is almost impossible to find&#47;use. The voice-activated navigation is unreliable - try entering a local address and the system responds "Would you like to navigate to the center of Lenox Iowa?"

Electronics are awful - voice navigation pretty much impossible to use; touch screen very slow to react; some

The infotainment system can be a little confusing (mainly around profile management),

cons: HORRIBLE dash system, get RID OF the Screen!

I really do not understand all the reviews with hatred for the touch pad&#47;infotainment system, in fact for me it is a high point of the car!

failure

Subaru driver recognition works sometimes and in a repair order they say it’s designed to fail.

The electronics are annoying, faulty and poorly designed.

voice-command

transmission

The cvt transmission is awful, sucking the life out of the engine.

The Wilderness is quicker off the line, faster overall, with much smoother shifts from the revised transmission, with little body roll compromise when cornering at speed.

The CVT transmission is the worst ever - jumpy, jerky, and unable to match power requirements to transmission gearing.

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.

It rides incredible and handles beautifully too.

It gives you so much confidence as you enter the curves.

Surprised by more spacious cargo space, as well as very roomy driver seat, head and shoulder room.

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.

Want to heat the seats, it’s a 3 step process that takes your eyes off the road.

The seats may very well be the most comfortable I've ever had in a car.

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

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.

Ride is great , gas mileage is 33mpg and Subaru reliability
 Really love this car and we feel so safe in it .

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.

However, I dare you to find another car that offers so much standard safety features.

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.

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.

Plenty of power and handling is competent,  if not sporty.

I also like the positioning of the heated&#47;cooled seats

Leather seats are super comfortable and the heat and ac features work in minutes.

Rear seat is very roomy with reclining seats.

I was surprised at all of the room inside including the spacious back seat.

I own the Hybrid Blue model and quite happy with the cloth seats and seating position.

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.

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.

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.

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 Acura MDX

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.

Aspec, SH-AWD: Engine is powerful enough to move the heavy SUV without problem
The transmission is doing well, especially after second gear; No gear changing feeling
Cabin is not on the quite or noisy side.

but it controls engine and wind noise so well that you hear a lot of droning tire noise which gets annoying.

Road noise and engine noise is also a bit louder that my Lexus.

The auto engine shut off is extremely annoying.

It is really fun to drive, as it handles well and is extremely responsive.

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

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.

Very comfortable, Good looking, handles well for a large car, glad I got the SH all wheel drive as it improves cornering substantially.

The interior is comfortable with great seats,

All the comfort and tech features work as advertised, the style and the interior 3 rows of seats are great.

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

Love the heads up display, tech package, 360 cameras, ability for more in-depth individual settings including turning off the annoying “stop engine” at stop lights that is mandated, AT&#38;T hotspot and Alexa so great, the ability to remove center of second row for easy access to 3rd row (so great for grandchildren and multiple car seats!

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

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.

The adjustable seats in the middle row are a nice touch, as well as the removable middle seat.

The storage space in the back is big and it has 3rd row seating!

interior

So it is Okay
Interior material  quality is very good and looks decent.

The interior (with the exception of all the piano gloss black trim is stellar).
