2019 Mazda CX-5

lights

This GTR trim I've added front parking sensors, backup beeper cutoff for trailer, 360 deg camera, and LED interior lights all at dealer.

all the aforementioned things as well as power mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, automatic LED headlights, automatic brights and brights-dimming if another car approaches, power liftgate, BOSE speakers, wood-paneling, soft leather seats, power moonroof.

I like how the headlights turn when you are making a turn. I heard negative reviews about how slow the infotainment system is in booting up and I too am already experiencing that,

Has a great Bose Stereo System, bright LED lights, excellent driving aids, and has very good gas mileage - averaging 28-29 in mixed driving.

The headlights are amazingly bright and clear.

suspension

It feels glued to the track, with highly responsive steering, a very tight suspension.

It has a sports mode which tightens the suspension so that you can feel the road better and regular mode for longer distances

It is a great responsive, quiet, and comfortable car to drive that handles rough roads very well (I live in a city with plenty of potholes and bad roads, and the CX-5 handles them excellently).

The foam used is extremely dense and stiff in those bolsters, and the plastic sides come up too high.

The car has a stiff suspension so it corners wonderfully.

It insulated the driver from the road with soft suspension,  the way many American cars do.

feature

The Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve is a fantastic car with comfortable interior and top-of-the-line performance features.

It’s is comfortable, has plenty of features and still hauls a good bit of my stuff!

It has every option you could want, love it, it holds the road excellent, comfortable, good mileage, I’m happy I stopped in to “look”

Features on the vehicle made the vehicle feel very safe.

They were all priced right, with a well thought out interior, safety package and affordable maintenance plan.

This version of the car also has just about every feature you can think of, from ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, endless safety features, automatic opening of the back, etc.

I had a Cadillac SRX prior to this vehicle and the fit, finish, performance and comfort of the CX5 Signature  is every bit as good, or better, than the Caddy and the Mazda has tons more features for the price.

All the modern safety features, and reliability that's up there with the best.

comfortable

I like the seats also-very comfortable for my back.

Have the Signature model for 1 year 2 months.Low mileage due to pandemic.Great handling solid feel comfortable seats.Maybe too small for some

Although I stayed with a CX5, I've found this one to be even more comfortable than my other one and I can still say that after having driven it nearly cross country this summer.

The interior is very nice; the driver and passenger seats are very comfortable and have heated and ventilated seats, which is nice on a hot summer day.

interior

But we consider an added bonus the smooth ride, as well as overall interior and exterior appearance of the CX-5.

The list of Pros is long as many other people have mentioned, including excellent performance and handling, very nice appointments on the interior and great exterior styling.

The inside feels well put together and sound system sounds great

Upscale interior, superior performance, gorgeous design, & quality build for the money you can't 
ask for much more.

The CX5 blows away the rivals when it comes to interior quality, road noise, and handling.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta

noise

Don't hear the Darth Vader transmission noise others have referred to,

The sensor that prevents you from hitting things alerts for no reason, the transmission sticks and makes grinding noises.

Usually flawless.But, strange how VW is ignoring this noise.

I have had it into the shop and they fixed most of the rattles and the fix lasted a week.

ORIGINAL BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN MOIST DEALER SAID NORMAL ITS NOT NORMAL.

Same transmission grinding noise as everyone else.

The drivers seat squeaks a bit and there is a rattle somewhere behind the glove box, which I will let my service department know about at the first oil change.

Vent distribution
Creaking noises
Burns oil
Break noise
Windshield viper
It is very frustrating to have a brand new car that has so many problems and you have to fix something almost every month.

transmission

Makes a strange Burr noise from transmission on light lazy acceleration.

Many recalls and transmission sensors failed twice, the said mpg is way lower than advertised and guarantee does not cover bended rotary after 20000 miles and consider it as wear and tear!! !

The transmission has two seperate known issues, It has a noticeable torque converter rattle at low speeds, and uneven shifting in the lower gears, oh yea some of them leak fluid as well.

8 speed has shifting problems at 3-5 gears, low rpm, torque, rattles, grinding noise, burns oil, and has leaks after less than a year. problem!

Some of the biggest complaints: Bland highway manners, vague steering feel,  weird grind in the transmission when shifting, very poor seats,.

failure

If this were as simple as turning the key, I wouldn’t have minded what I assume were occasional malfunctions of the start/stop system.

however repair or replace it should it fail completely during the 72mth or 72K warranty (which was for model year 2019 only ! )

It has been to the dealer 3 times for a faulty transmission and passenger window that does not go up and down.

gear

Car is changing gears flawless at this time.

But instead, the sequence went: put in gear, press gas, notice nothing happens, follow dash instructions to put back in P, turn key, read helpful direction to press brake in order to start car, finally get it started and then—put it back in gear.

Quiet ride except for the grinding noise in the transmission switching from 4 th to 5th gear
Buyer beware 
Dealer has no idea how to fix the problem

port

5- 1 charging USB in the center console, it should be in the back seat.

although it would be better if it is also bluetooth rather than USB.

3- there is only 1 USB data port, so either you have the apple car play or the iPod, you CAN NOT have both at the same time.

but not as good nor I don't think it is transferable (look it up though)

10. the design is simple and sophisticated

11. lots of side pocket spaces

Negatives

1. only on USB port

2. the power isn't great sometimes if you need to go quick from a stop

3.

The interior lights can also be customized!

Clean lines, roomy cabin, cool LED lights inside.

I like the blind spot light on the mirror.

99&#37; of drivers won't know its a torsion beam rear; handles great, very little body role.

but no biggie, this is a super light car, if you think it will do great in deep snow, even though it is front wheel drive, think again, it is super light for fuel economy.

My favourite are the features of the car: digital cockpit, Beats Audio, LED lights, interior lighting, adapting cruise control, etc.

Sunroof shade is a see-through and lets a lot of light into the cabin.

I chose the SEL for safety, especially Lane Assist, and better lights

Has a super firm like archaic ride on rough roads.

The adaptive suspension is great and when is sport mode offers a nice stiff, responsive feel.

Good suspension and comfortalble and safety options in even entry model.

..
No independent rear suspension, previous versions had this important feature, this allows for that great big trunk with the lid that does not open all the way on its own, just enough to hit you in the forehead every time.

It takes potholes like a champ and the interior is very appealing to the eyes.

the fuel consumption is incredible (5.7-5.8 L / 100km on highway), the driving is nice, the suspension works very well and the performances of the small 1.4L are surprising!

although my last car was a performance car so I'm spoiled

4. ride is smooth and comfortable over bumps

5. basic model comes with Android/Apple play.

Quite comfortable, and roomy enough for my wife and I to do some long road trips.

but the car is comfortable, roomy- especially the trunk- great seats and more equipment than you would expect from most small cars.

Plenty of leg room front and back, comfy seats that hold you, it drives so smooth 10/10

Extra level of mental comfort with that really long warranty.

but when I could let it out I did, the car seemed to have excellent pick up, it was a comfortable, roomy ride.

My car is ideal for my needs at the moment, very comfortable and reliable.

fuel

On top of that gets 2-3 times better gas mileage!

NOT VW..BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE OF THE VALUE IT IS GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY,  VERY QUICK, SOLID, VERY GOOD FUEL ECONOMY, ENGINE IS QUIET, NICE RIDE, GOOD SOUND SYSTEM, TONS OF OPTIONS FOR NO EXTRA COST.

This is a very great vehicles great on the highway great on the road good traveling car Great on gas great I’m getting oil changes every six months to a year

So far I love the car, the gas mileage is amazing and it drives very nice.

It's gas economic, it has all the accessories I needed.

It has great gas mileage, gets me to and from all of my desired destinations and has lots of space for all of my items.

Great look inside and out drives great I like all the features great salesmen and customer service price was great no pushy sales people they work with you to get you in the car you want

Many nice features such as Bluetooth and apple car play.

Speed density steering and numerous safety features.

Leather interior, remote start feature, heated seats (all passengers), heated steering wheel, Apple car play, panoramic sun roof, you name it!

I really like all the interior features : heated seats/steering wheel, Bluetooth, backup camera, etc.

A GTI with similar features costs much more - and let's face it - looks like a car for teens.

2019 Mazda CX-9

This feature holds the brake down at red lights so you can rest your driving foot.

The adaptive headlights and the heads up display are terrific

The adaptive LED headlights are fantastic, positioned perfectly and do exactly what you need from them.

6)	There is no light in the glove box, nor does it lock.

The driver aids work great and the interior is very hushed unless you encounter rough pavement.

Love the smooth and relatively quick acceleration, low noise level, and comfortable suspension.

The chassis and suspension deliver exceptional handling and a quiet ride overall.

5)	Rides well – takes bumps very nicely and is, for the most part, quiet inside.

The ride is still very comfortable and bumps are absorbed nicely.

Love everything about this vehicle, ride, comfort, style, performance and price.

What a pleasure to drive in this comfortable, (in our opinion) fashionable, functional and solid car!

It is very comfortable to drive, and enjoyed owning this vehicle twice.

I love it drive smooth , plenty of leg room, very roomie , great on gas mileage, love the sound system sounds great ,  the seat so comfortable.

my daughter is 4’ 9”and she was just as comfortable as her hairy monkey man oo oo ah ah who is 5’10”.

Kids have plenty of room to be comfortable,

The car rides very smooth, and gives a comfortable ride.

The third row is more comfortable than many other SUVs.

Lots of bells & whistles, comfortable to drive, performs well and doesn't feel like a big, heavy SUV.

Handles really well and has more safety features than the Lexus RX 350 It replaced.

Drives great, great performance , feels solid on the road, safety feature ar great too

Safety features are excellent now that I have a student driver.

Inside feels upscale and it has lots of tech and safety features.

My eyes are off the road 10 times more to check if proper option is selected via the control knob.

It has all the modern technology and safety features!!

I would recommend the CX-9 for anyone who would like the handling and features of a luxury SUV without the big price tag

The interior is really gorgeous and receives compliments at this price point.

The Signature edition has a lovely interior overall.

Drives great; interior finish is luxury standard; exterior design is catchy; trunk room is short compared to rivals; and infotainment system is slow

Exterior and interior styling is incredible.

Love the body style and interior as well!!

The interior is also beautifully well done and all the controls are conveniently located.

2018 Toyota Camry

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

but wonder how long it will stay that way. RATTLES.

Mostly quiet some wind noise on the highway Good highway gas mileage.

Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible:  Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!)

but at some speeds there is some throttle lag and I've assumed that is again transmission related, again new it before purchasing.

The only complaint I have is the transmission; I have noticed the car up shifts prematurely to obviously save on gas.

The transmission was wonky and started to slip pretty bad

The manner in which the continuous variable transmission is programmed causes the car to hesitate, sometimes a lot, and other times not at all.After visiting various owners forums, I’ve discovered that this is a very common complaint about this vehicle.

When we purchased it, shift points were grossly wrong.

I wish I took it for a test drive.so far no luck with the dealer ship.tells me that's  how it is supposed  to shift.

the transmission, first off, I hate the 8 speed setup, it is constantly wanting to downshift, it is pretty much impossible to cruise in 8th gear at above 60 MPH, unless you are going downhill.

but I’m rather impressed by the engine and transmission performance.

Transmission shifts beautifully when using it manually, or when it?s left on automatic.

Will occasionally produce a huge jolt when shifting from park to reverse.

Currently have 50k and seems like it 3rd 4th 5 the gear will vibrate bad at 40-55 miles and hour.

except the car isn't changing gears at this point.

Biggest complaint is that car seems to have trouble shifting into gear from as you begin to accelerate from 0- 15mph.

The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible thing.

The get up and go from Toyota?s new 2.5L is surprising to say the least, the 8 speed automatic transmission shifts smooth and doesn?t have issues with searching for gears on inclines like many other sedans I?ve driven.

The transmission is horrible, shifting into higher gears too soon and requiring significant amounts of throttle to downshift and then, only after the transmission ?thinks?

My only drawback is it hesitates a little stepping on the gas dropping into a lower gear.

The 301hp engine while very powerful and responsive at higher gears and speeds, it is unfortunately somewhat sluggish off the line unless manually shifting.

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

radio

The radio does not stay on after you turn the car off, this is a huge deal.

to use radio you have to download and install software.

It is even difficult to tune the radio or to change the display.

I just wish the radio station selection was easier for the driver.

I ASSUMED it came with CD and XM radio..  NO it doesn't!!!

Cons of the car consist of a horrid Entune system that requires your phone to be connected to the car to play pandora/IHeart radio.

Specifically, it doesn't support the following apps, all fully supported by Android Auto: Google Maps, Waze, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Tunein Radio, as well as several messaging, audio book, and podcast apps.

This car meets all of my needs and wants (except for no CD player or SIRIUS radio).

The lane assist is great and the way the side mirrors light up when there's a car in your blind spot.

Also love the Panaromic sunroof, it lets so much light in.

My favorites are the adaptive cruise control and the auto high beams.

Small things like not being able to change the color and intensity of interior accent lights or the wallpaper of the screen, etc.

but the favorite gadget is the Orange light on the outside mirror noting tea blind spot vehicle

New design is awesome the extra features like lane departure and auto high beams switch and the stereo!

I have had people stop at a red light and compliment my car, and have had people even take pictures.

GREAT CAR, AWESOME STYLING, GREAT ON GAS, VERY PEPPY FOR A 4 CYLINDER SIDE WARNING LIGHTS, AND COLLISION CONTROL, VERY SAFE WITH ALL AIRBAGS.

The 300 horsepower, 19 inch wheels, low profile tires, (I know, a con above), and sports tuned suspension put this car quite a few a notches above being a boring grocery getter.

The XLE has reasonable noise levels (though is noisy on rough freeway pavement), is pretty comfortable (seats OK for me

It has an electronic accelerator, very annoying,  uneven acceleration.

While accelerating up a hill, for whatever reason, the car will randomly jerk like a very rough shift.

With the V-6 and sport tuned suspension and great tires Toyota did a excellent job redesigning a good car to make it fun to drive and closer to the feel of a much more expensive german car.

The car's handling has been greatly improved with the addition of the double wishbone suspension in the rear, and the new 8 speed provides enough of a punch to surprise you.

Better suspension, quieter ride, more like a Lexus than the run of the mill sedan.

I have owned this car for about a week and it is very comfortable with a great suspension, like my old 1999 Camry.

And the big wheels and sport suspension combined with the 8-speed automatic transmission provide a truly sporty feel to wherever you want to go.

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

I will be comfortable letting my teens drive it.

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

This car has more features than I imagined

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.
