2021 Kia Seltos

noise

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

Cabin noise when driving on the highway is fairly loud,

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".

In general the interior feels a bit more rugged than in the Sportage and this shows with the road noise which is louder than in the Sportage,

leg-room

Leg room seems better for passenger than driver.

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

This car has plenty of leg room Meets all my needs.

this car gives us more room it has everything we need from the color, style, leg room is great.

Enough leg room love the big touch screen.

the leg room is fantastic, i never found a car that i could stretch my leg straight out until the Seltos.

I especially like that there is good leg room for the rear seats for your average sized person.

turbo

I love driving this seltos with the turbo.

The 1.6 turbo engine is very responsive and gets great gas mileage.

The SX Turbo is fun to drive and has great luck-up!

I went with the SX  and love the turbo and awd.

In SX turbo, the engine is quiet, responsive and ready to go.

I went with lower trim for 17 inch wheel for comfort and lower maintenance of none turbo engine.

Performance with the Turbo engine let’s you feel the gains in HP from the standard engine offering, it gives you that boost once you hit the higher RPMs.

feature

Also went with S-AWD model to get safety features and heated seats.

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.

The trim package has the features I want.

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

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

compared with HR-V and CX-3 Seltos beat both in every categories of comfort, features, and size.

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

comfortable

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.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

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

It is comfortable, affordable, and drives very smooth.

room

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

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

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

2021 Kia Sorento

Lots of leg room in the back even for the tall guys!

Plenty of leg room for every one, lots of cargo space with third seat down.

The Good Stuff

The powertrain in this Sorento Hybrid is just excellent; I generally leave it in "eco" mode and it drives like it has a normal or turbo 4 cylinder with much larger displacement.

The power from the turbo charged engine will totally surprise you.

Feel the turbo power, very fast to be a 2.5 T. Sporty look.

This car is fun to drive with the V4 Turbo.

Some favorite features: hands free and kick free tailgate, just stand behind it.

This SUV has  safety, comfort, performance, and convience features of  vehicles costing many thousands more.

It is a beautiful car with lot's of safety features.

This car is loaded with features, looks good, drives good, and is very reliable.

A lot of safety features that are standard.

The SUV thats just right for a person who likes adventures and also has all the features of a luxury suv.

The x-line package is first class and a steal at its price.

family

All around, a great SUV for a couple like us or a small family.

This car is perfect for me and my soon to be extended family!

I have 2 kids and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

I want the “kids” to have plenty of room in the back and for it to lay flat.

This vehicle  comes with all the features you need, the overall cost of maintenance is inexpensive and is a great size vehicle for a couple or a whole family.

Now we have enough room to pack all the grandchildren in at one time.

This car meets all my needs 
Plenty of room for friends and family 
Storage is also great with the 3rd row seats down
Great so far

stylish, comfortable for long & short drives, does everything that's required for carrying my family, friends & stuff.

but less internal space than the Sorento.

Best mileage, easy to maneuver, space full, very secure.

With the third row collapsing you get nice cargo space.

Plenty of space for me as I'm 6'4 and I have 2 year old that's almost the same height lol.

2021 Kia Forte

The car is very smooth riding with good leg room that is a very big plus for my son who is over 6 feet 5 inches tall during traveling

Love it and it handles very well, plus good leg room.

It is a GT turbo and has the acceleration and speed needed to leave the competition in the rearview mirror.

GT version is fun to drive and turbo engine gas lots of power and very tough with excellent added features like Chrome wheels, gas and brake pedals .

All the cool stuff from both except for the turbo.

The Kia Forte GT is a fun car to drive with the turbo making this car a little hot rod for less than 300/m lease.

The GT with the Turbo 2 package just sounded like it could work.

This car comes with lots of good features

wish there were more auto features like seat adjustments,

Very comfortable   Seats and dash has great features.

The ride, the comfort, the safety features, and passenger / driver room.

Also the car looks great with the 18 inch wheels and all the safety features it comes standard on this model.

Great performance and features at a budget price !

mileage

Best mpg has been 43.9 and worst has been 37.5 and that’s all hand calculated.

Meets all my needs just over priced, it has a little better gas mileage and side mirror alerts.

The Kia Forte lx-s is a great compact sedan with good features and great MPG for the price

I get 35-39 mpg and with the rising cost of gas, that is WONDERFUL.

Great car for the money, user friendly, great gas mileage.

Affordable price,  great gas mileage, and all the amenities that I needed without going overboard

Sporty, Handles great, comfortable, good gas mileage!

fuel

That this car with gas prices all over the place you can't lose 😊

I traded a 2017 Hemi truck for this car so that I could see family more often without breaking bank on fuel.

2021 Acura RDX

however, the car was riddled with noise issues.

Only 4 star on comfort due to louder than expected engine noise.

The down side is that the engine and road noise.

Software update didn’t work and took a dealer visit along with brakes squeaking within 2 months.

I bought my RDX about a month ago and i hear this rattle sound by the dash area going over bumps.

service

A recall service was completed replacing the window frame, the issue has not gone away.

but I bought two months ago and front bumper paint is peeling out completely call the dealer said I have to pay cause is the front bumper worst service ever.

audio-system

Braking system saved me during driving rain storm as a driver stopped suddenly in front of me.

After swapping out the USB cable and even trying different devices the same lagging and often freezing of the whole infotainment system occurs.

Don't get me wrong the engine sounds good.

I had a 2020 RDX that had many issues with its infotainment system.

I have watched numerous car review videos of the RDX and the two most common complaints were of the touch pad system and the apparent difficulty of the transmission hunting to find the appropriate gear.

but after using it for a while I find it superior to touch screen and combined with voice commands the system works well.

But was soon disappointed to encounter the terribly designed infotainment system and touch pad.

The computer system is a little confusing at first,

But after a month, the infortainment system was suddenly down for no reason.

Plenty  of leg room, rear seats fold all the way down for extra capacity and I absolutely love the black 20in wheels!

My last vehicle was a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee which provided ample leg room for me.

.leg room is good, storage is great..I love, love , love this vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Very good looking and very  comfortable as leg room isn't sacrificed  or anything in this smaller car as compared to my previous MDX1

Sleek and sporty design - turbo charged engine, all wheel drive.

Great acceleration from 4 cylinder turbo.

but the turbo flawlessly gets up to 90 mph in no time!

but the 4 turbo has even more pickup and is much smoother.

Great driving car with really good power with the turbo and Sport driving dynamics.

Edgy styling, ultimate comfort inside, handles effortlessly, good pick up for a turbo 4 cylinder (coming from a V6 engine car), perfect size if you don't want to go as big as a true SUV,

RDX 2.0 turbo 10 speed transmission,awesome engine and sh-AWD best AWD , and has good resale value, everybody wants one it’s a Honda upscale.

but too many gears, and steering artificial compared to q5 or x3, Space efficiency and very comfortable, touch pad great too, biggest complaint fuel economy is below 19 mpg in city

Seats are comfy, seat belt anchor needs to be 1/2 inch longer.

Runs good, a lot of bells and whistles, comfortable ride

After seven months, I switched into a 2021 RDX Aspec, which was more attractive, comfortable, user friendly, and honestly felt more agile.

And the seats are very comfortable and supportive, they are the primary reason my wife chose the car.

Very comfortable and relaxing ride while on long trips.

seats are comfortable and panoramic sunroof is outstanding.

I had the 2019 RDX with the tech package before, and immediately felt regrets when I switched to TLX.

The car is already showed the brake system failure and disable my the road assistance features.

Safety  features  are outstanding and easy to use.

I have driven it just a little over 2500 miles so far still getting accustom to the Tech features of this vehicle.

It's much less expensive and has a multitude of features.

The infotainment feature does take time to acclimate use,

but will continue to commit to learn all the many features provided.

ride

The ride is smooth with a comfortable interior.

I am pleased with the ease of handling and the smooth ride.

We felt the RDX had the best ride and most quiet engine especially under heavy acceleration.

This vehicle is great on gas and I can’t wait to see how it rides in the winter with snow.

Very stylish, nice looking and riding vehicle.

2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

sensor

Doors would not lock/unlock at times from the touch sensor.

It cut off on me  too and whatever sensor they have on the car I can't change lanes gracefully without feeling some type of resistance.

At 3400 miles the car overheated on me because the sensor wasn’t working.

Then I reported that the crash alert would randomly turn on for no reason,, they said that the sensors were very sensitive and red lights could be causing this.

I had to take it back to the shop a few months later because I was still having issues with the door sensor.

Since getting it in early December, my brand new car has been in the shop for over a month for the engine light already being on and a fuel sensor issue.

I think VW should’ve made the Fender audio an option.

Plus this really loud beeping sound was going off every time I was at a complete stop.

Brakes sound like they are grinding sometimes, and when I accelerate from a stop light, stop sign etc.. the car will act like it doesnt want to switch gears, it sort of lurches.

Within one week my audio stopped working.

So for me to spend an additional $1,000.00 should help you to understand just how horrible the system is especially if you listen to rap music or heavy metal music or r&b.

I turned the collision avoidance system off so it would not do that again.

The first issue I had was the strut rattle.

People who are 6’5 and taller will have no problems at all with leg room when compared to any other suv on the market.

Has great leg room, very comfortable seating, and very roomy in the storage space.

The car rides nice and has adequate power for a turbo 4.

Power from the 2.0 TURBO excellent with all wheel drive-4 motion

The seats are very large and provide great comfort for all sizes including larger frame occupants.

The car handles very softly, It is súper confortable, I recommend 100%

It was comfortable, and I personally think it is the most gorgeous car on the road,

Has a great style and drives very comfortable.

Great exterior styling, has all the key interior features and creature comforts.

sporty

Volkswagen not one out of the park with the atlas cross sport.

I was so inspired by the style let’s look and the upgrades that I got in my Atlas Cross Sport Premium.

The VW Atlas Cross Sport is the best over all.

Overall this is a lot that you get for the money regardless of whether you get the 7 seater atlas or the 5 seater cross sport atlas.

Atlas Cross Sport offers a lot of options.

Cute and sporty without feeling grandmaish like other small SUVs!

The Cross Sport is amazing in its size for five passengers and storage.

So just to recap the highlights are great Audi inspired exterior views, great ride, largest in my opinion deep trunk space, most leg room in all rows vs anything priced under $60,000.00, great technology and safety features.

It’s a beautiful vehicle that feels commanding on the road and has PLENTY of interior space.

It has a ton of space for us , our 2 kids, the 2 dogs and all the stuff that coms with them.

Car has the perfect space for a family of four.

Great space for our little girl in back and enough room to purchase large items.

2020 Ford Escape

Unless under full throttle, its not overly noisy in any situation.

I have never been in a car that made a noise like this.

As I drove away from the dealership I noticed a very distinct, very low vibration sound.

I like the car EXCEPT for the vibration that I feel when I drive normally and am not accelerating between 1000 to 2000RPM (speed start to over 60MPH.

Unfortunately,  4 days into driving it began having a very noticeable creaking sound upon the vehicle coming to a stop and leaving a stopped position and you can also hear it when driving sometimes and turning.

The only thing that sucks is the wind noise or as Ford calls it, the sound of turbulence I hear while driving over 50MPH on the driver's side.

I have noticed a rattling noise when I shut the passenger and back right door.

Several issues like on going drivers seat noise, back hatch door has almost closed on us, computer has rebooted on I4 at 75MPH, sun roof needed adjustments, seat belt harness is coming apart, cruise control does not engage. .

My only dislike is some of the interior materials could be better and my subwoofer still rattles despite being fixed.

Prior to purchasing this vehicle, please take note that when driving it you will experience  horrible vibrations at 1500 RPM.

speed

When I press gas pedal slightly to speed up when going into a higher speed limit area, I keep pressing more and more (slowly) and it finally responds, usually with a hard downshift.

On the way home from picking it up I noticed that the car struggled horribly to accelerate, seemingly switching gears back and forth, up and down, and making some kind of low, humming sound as a constant rate of speed was met.

We guess it’s due to the less effort the engine needs to work to get to speed where the Rav4 worked hard to get up to highway speeds.

Despite having slightly less horsepower, our hybrid can pass cars with ease at all speeds, and it's quiet - something that really bothered us about the RAV - it was a bit throaty when accelerating and made a funny noise every time we braked.
