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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

pick-up

Way too easy to accidentally go too fast because the pedal is very responsive and the car has good pick up.

I was the smallest truck on the beach next to pick up trucks and Jeep Wranglers!

suspension

engine

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

I love the handling and power of the turbo 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

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.

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

turn-handling

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

2022 Ford Maverick

Fords ordering system is the worst thing I have ever seen.

When I roll four passengers deep, everyone has plenty of space for ergonomically correct natural resting positions (they don't have to contort and twist to fit for the ride), decent audio from the base factory radio, a place for their small personal belongings in the convenient door pockets, convenient cupholders for beverages, plentiful and easily accessible ports for charging their phones and tablets, and - to top it off - in-vehicle WiFi (which has excellent bandwidth in my area - only &#36;25 a month through AT

The EV sound is annoying, since they forgot to add any insulation from the factory, it's loud.

The hybrid sound is too loud,
The horn makes more noise in the cabin than it does outside.

noise

The only issue so far is a clicking type rattle in my dash that only happens on certain slow bumps in my neighborhood, once I am on the highway it goes away. Strange.

My first impression during the test drive was that nearly everything about it seemed well-refined for the price point except for the engine noise.

The Panels all rattle
The dash rattles
The Gas engine is loud and unrefined
The Hybrid brake system was an after thought..

port

Ford needs to eliminate the small storage compartment on the right of the screen since it is useless and in my view eliminate the electrical outlet in the rear seating area to be replaced with an AC vent.

phone

The only thing you have to move eye focus to is the touch screen radio--unless you have your phone connected and can just use CarPlay to do everything.

brake

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

Fantastic a small pick up truck from Ford, bravo.

It is so nice to get 40 plus mpg daily and run to the hardware store and pick up a load of mulch or haul bicycles and never.

Solid, roomy,  great performance,  nice smooth and quiet ride for a pickup.

Great pickup features and well appointed interior.

The 2022 Ford Maverick Pickup Truck is made by Ford

The cab has as much interior room as a full size, convenient instrument cluster,  car like suspension, quiet and surprisingly peppy.

ride

4 can ride nicely,back seat has just enough room.

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

the vehicle is fun to drive the ride is smooth and the build quality seems to be very good, no squeaks or rattles.

It rides great, accelerates just fine, and has more than adequate room for 4.

the truck rides great, it's very smooth and extremely quiet.

The ride is much better than my 2019 Civic.

Enough room for a 6'1" man at 260 to enjoy driving or riding in the Maverick.

The ride us much smoother and quieter than the Tacoma it has replaced and I'm using less than half the gas.

comfortable

but when I sat in one at a local car show,  I realized my Maverick was much more roomier and comfortable than the full size Bronco.

Exceeds expectations: Beautiful design, perfect size, drives fantastic, comfortable on long trips, great visibilty, and its QUIET.

the vehicle handles like a small, has a comfortable driving position lots of options and nothing else out there looks like it!

but big uses, no issues at 12k, very comfortable and drives great!

The seats are very comfortable even for the large and tall.

The interior is probably the most comfortable I've enjoyed in a utility vehicle to date.

It is actually very comfortable and the interior is very functional and I can park it in my garage.

mileage

but the dealer was able to take care of them  it delivers great MPG, of 45-50, around town, 32-34 on ths open road.

Overall happy with the performance and gas mileage (34mpg).

First edition carbonized gray
Mileage after 7 months of driving is 22 mpg.

So far, I am impressed with the little truck. Fuel economy is on par with what I was getting avg in my fusion (usually 40 - 43 mpg.)

The aerodynamics of the vehicle means you blow all over the place over 70mph
Highway MPG is less than the GTI i owned and that was way better built and more fun to drive.

It’s comfortable, easy to drive,  surprisingly peppy, and I am getting 43 MPG.

It gets amazing gas mileage,
Everyone looks at it..
Cons:
Build quality it appalling,
It’s useless on a highway, you’ll need miles to gain enough speed to pass someone.

Very impressed with the mileage, as about 60% was freeway driving, and I still averaged like 44mpg!

Went over 120 mph on the freeway, very sturdy! Ps.

2022 Toyota Tundra

I don't expect great gas mileage out of a full size pickup.

The 2022 Toyota Tundra Pickup Truck is made by Toyota

Sleek styling and an improved ride with the new rear suspension.

The truck rides smooth thanks to the coil spring suspension and it is a great daily driver.

fuel

That would be okay.  . if I were getting good gas mileage.

It's worse gas mileage than what it says.

The gas milage is improving and it drives like a dream.

The gas mileage is actually better than the Tacoma wise.

the finally gave it a complete redisign for 2022. the gas guzzling v8 is gone.

tundra-crewmax

Overall, I think the 2022 Tundra is a sleek redesign that was much needed!

I have owned two other Tundra’s with the 5.7 engines and have had no issues.

Complete satisfaction after the first 2500 miles I’m glad I picked the tundra.

Then who ever could make websites for Tundra so who’s ever have

Had the hybrid mileage been better, I may have chosen the hybrid and lived without the storage.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

I became very interested in the Ford Lightning pickup in early 2021 as reports of great capability and price made it very appealing.

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pickup Truck is made by Ford

The suspension provides a smooth ride and all the tech is here and includes just about everything you'd need and then some.

Very nice ride and the acceleration is incredible.

Performance is amazing and rides like a $100k luxury car.

It's the most comfortable truck I've ever been it.

Super comfortable seats and interior appointments with amazing storage and utility.

The vehicle is comfortable and great to drive.

sporty

It's also quiet, drives smoothly, and corners like a sports car.

It’s a truck that drives like a luxury car and a sports car, if that’s possible.

2022 Kia Telluride

transmission

but that vehicle has a horrible transmission (9-speed that failed at 30k miles).

In addition to high speed balancing tires, front axle replacement and bearings, drive train parts from transmission to rear axle, still no resolution.

Picks up power on hills and it’s a perfect size for long trips to pack what u need! !

The V6 pickup is sufficient considering it’s an SUV.

It has a very sporty and stiff ride (for a 3-row SUV), yet also soaks up the bumps and holes.

I love the way it rides nice and comfortable.

The care rides smooth and quiet and has plenty of get up and go.

The comfort, the ride, the quiet cabin, the standard features, the captains seats in the second row, everything about it is the way I like my cars to be.

From styling, ride and value it can't be beat.

You'll see why people rate this car well when you ride it yourself.

The drive is smooth and quiet, and the internal features make you feel you’re riding in a spaceship.

We are enjoying the style, the ride is smooth, comfortable seats and good gas mileage.

I get lots of compliments on the Kia and people are surprised how nice it rides in the back.

feature

Well-priced, nicely equipped, and unquestionably refined, the Telluride is the complete package.

More space, hold its value better, longer warranty, more features per dollar and flat out more than Lux SUVs.

The body style, features and interior design nice.

There is not one unnecessary option and they're all in the right places in/on the vehicle.

Easy to navigate even on skinny lanes, great handling, lots of features, room for a big family or lots of dogs.

Stylish and comfortable family transport.

The 2022 Telluride is comfortable, Quiet, responsive, roomie inside and economical for this size SUV.

The car is comfortable and drives nice other than that.

The car rides great, has sufficient power, and is very comfortable.

2022 Hyundai Kona N

The throttle response is instant, and I personally don’t pick up on much turbo lag.

The suspension is very firm, probably to make the car corner well while maintaining its compact-SUV ride height.

but don’t feel too stiff, and the leather/suede combination (I’m not sure if they’re real or imitation materials, but they feel great) is nice.

And in maximum attack mode on back roads, it is an absolute delight,

I also enjoy the navigation system attaching to your phone so you never have to update the system.

It is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned after owning a string of great vehicles starting with a then-new 1968 Z28 Camaro.

But as far as pure driving joy for the money goes, look no further.

exhaust

The exhaust pops and snarls and crackles in sport mode which will either make you giggle like a kid or roll your eyes, maybe both.

Even in eco mode the exhaust has some nice notes.

I personally like to have everything cranked to the max other than the suspension, which I leave in its lowest setting, and the exhaust, which I keep in sport rather than sport +,

small-size

As a former GTI owner, the Kona N still has some of the same characteristics of the GTI and other hot hatchbacks of days gone by- a practical shape for folding down the rear seats and shoving in a bike or a dresser on occasion, a reasonably small footprint, and performance numbers that will shock people who judge cars by their badge.

It gives you all the versatility of a small SUV with all of the fun of a hot hatch.

It's small for storage, it's good for 2 on a road trip.

2022 Honda Accord Hybrid

I’m so use to hearing an engine turn on that it was refreshing and intriguing to hear nothing at all.

tire

The 19” wheels tend to get damaged often by potholes since the tread is low profile, and since this car comes with a tire inflator versus a spare tire, I have been stranded on the side of the road a few times.

One thing I wish I had known prior to purchasing is that the car does not come with a spare tire.

however you will find small things that Honda did to save $$$.. First of all for my first 1000 miles I have averaged 36.5 miles per gallon (no where near the 44/47 mpg shown) and I’m not a peddle to the metal type of guy, the steering wheel is manual up/down or in/out (on a 35k vehicle??

I was surprised about the pickup and the ability to pull out on to major roads without a problem.

Ride comfort going over bumps and noisy roads is ok, and overall it feels good to drive.

Great features, one of the best car I’ve own.

My Honda Accord Hybrid 2022 Model EX-L has all the special features I could ever want or need in an automobile.

I was able to drive from NY to South Dakota in 18 hours in this car because of the key features.

The car has plenty of features, many of which in the "driving assist" category I tried and turned off.

Heads up display is cool and how many different options you have.

The safety features are what really convinced us in purchasing our Honda.

I can drive over 500 miles on one tank of gas, she has every safety feature with the exception of the top view camera, she is quiet, comfortable and can go from zero to seventy without you even realizing it.

although I’m still trying to get a hang of the features.

Has all the amenities that you could ask.

Very comfortable in driving and/or riding.

Great exterior and interior style, designed to fit the must have desired needs, reliable, efficient, comfortable and unbelievable warranty, I just think is a car to last longer then you can expect.  .

It is one of the most comfortable and traveling cars I have owned.

interior

The interior leather is beautiful and the sound system is exquisite.

Besides its beauty, the deciding factor in my purchase decision was interior roominess.

2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

This car is very comfortable and quiet both of which are very important to me plus great pick up when needed.

It feels like it could benefit from an extra 1Kw sized battery and gain a good bump in mileage.

It rides nice ,we have had 2 trips in it that were over 1000 miles.

It’s spacious, safe, smooth ride, great gas mileage.

The ride quality is good and overall quality is quite good.

Excellent ride and handling with very quiet cabin.

The ride quality is immaculate to other competitors at this price point.

My step dad has the 2020 I have driven before and always liked how smooth the ride was,

But the comfort of this car is wildly insane.

Inside is very comfortable and well thought out!

It’s so fun to drive and the seats are super comfortable for trips.

The 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty gives me comfort, as does the bumper to bumper 60k warranty.

Very comfortable and roomy (even the third row if you’re a kid!

But the driving mileage is why I got this one.

I routinely achieve 4o MPG or better over local roads.

On the positive side:  It drives beautifully smooth, does get good mileage

The mileage is good for an AWD, at 22 city and 27 highway.

2022 Rivian R1T

The 2022 Rivian R1T Pickup Truck is made by Rivian

Rocketing from 0-60 in 3 seconds *in a pickup truck* will never get old :) The ride quality is fantastic too; the air-adjustable suspension is in a league of it's own.

The ride experience is varied depending on which mode you select.

If you are looking for a responsive vehicle that has a sweet comfortable ride and can also haul most gear and is great for camping; this is the truck for you.

Really Fast, Handles unreal for a truck, Smooth as glass ride.

I really like that it raises and lowers the ride height depending on the application.

It can ride like a Corvette giving you a total sports car feel on the road, or like a F-150 which can handle anything I throw at it.

It can handle tight, twisty mountain roads like few vehicles can, and then jump off the road to crawl up roads that very few stock vehicles can survive.

Although I only have a little less than 1600 milesAcceleration handling and comfort and love the size

Even so, the back seat is very comfortable for two and even three people.

I was immediately comfortable with the technology and the truck is wonderful.

From highway, to white sands, to mountain rock trails, this truck has the versatility to swap between any mode that you need and do it in style and comfort at the same time.

2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid

2022 Acura RDX

but with the turbo, I think the RDX has better pick up, then my 2020 Blazer.

Sport Mode is fun to drive with SH-AWD and Adaptive Suspension.

Really like it so far, interior is amazing when fully loaded!

I own a 2014 RDX and it is more luxurious than the newer interior.
