2021 Kia Soul

power

The car is small, good steering, great mileage, manual trans shifts well, plenty of power.

And the power you get on the road is so good.

gear

Gears 2-6 are great, 1st gear has to be the WORST gear-range of any manual I have ever driven.

room

The inside of the car has a lot of head space.

This car has plenty of room , great gas miles and looks great.

There is very little room in the gas&#47;rpm range to drive.

fuel

Fuel economy is pretty good considering the performance, 0-60 in 8.0 seconds.

As with all the Kia Souls style since it debuted, the 2021 Soul is  stylish, comfortable with lots of leg room and great on gas.

roomy

The back seat and trunk space are fairly roomy.

It's very roomy and I like that the view out of front is unobstructed.

Nice look (love the mini Range Rover vibe), roomy front and back seats and cargo area with it's nifty bi level cargo floor.

2020 Acura RDX

noise

I had a popping noise with the lift gate as soon as I brought it home.

Took it back to the dealer and they couldn't recreate the noise.

Front brakes make noise and you can feel the abrasive rubbing.

Shortly after purchasing, I was driving in mildly damp conditions and I heard a grinding noise in the front end as I came to a stop.

White noise coming out of the speakers after the car has been stop for over half an hour.

More importantly, we also developed an issue with a loud popping noise from the panoramic sun roof that sometimes occurs when entering or leaving an elevated driveway or surface.

It feels cheap and unsubstantial; noisy impacts with road imperfections, uncomfortable seats all around and it  handles like crap with the steering going from completely numb to overloaded in turns with poor progression.

but remain disappointed that the brakes squeak every time that you start the vehicle until it warm up.

brake

Brakes also making noise like your rotors are bad from the start.

The brakes squeaked all the time at low speeds since the day we drove it off the lot.

Acura has known about problems with the brakes and electronics for two years and has no fix.

The dealer knows it is a problem so they changed out my rear brake pads.

First off the brakes started squeeking after 3500 miles which for me is unexceptable.

Purchased my new RDX less than a month ago and have had consistent issues with the brakes squeaking.

audio-system

Emergency braking system failure chimed twice and flashed warning lights on the dash.

This RDX has had major electrical and audio issues.

(While others may have complained about the touch pad system to operate multiple systems, once you get the hand of it, it's no big deal.)

The infotainment system is just fine- took just a day to get used to it.

Only minor drawback is the infotainment system (still new for me), some features not as intuitive as my 2015 CRV Honda (also miss the passenger camera with use of right turn signal).

however, the computer system is a huge disappointment.

After three months, I’m very pleased with all aspects of my RDX (except the speedometer) and the occasional system failure that prevents the steering wheel toggle switch from working properly.

failure

Also had a battery failure after 14 months.

Delearship told me that the battery needs to be fully charge in order to work and many other factors may cause this technology to fail.

tire

Unfortunately, Acura’s answer is cheap and shoddily upholstered leather seats where the leather is wavy and pulling and puckered along the stitches, has poor interior lighting, and delivers excessive road noise and tire roar.

Road noise, tire roar, and suspension noise are louder than my pick-up truck.

I personally do not like the run flat tires that come on the German cars

The AWD system is fantastic if you power out of a corner.

Love my 2020 Acura RDX, all the features are great, the ride is great, the engine power is great with the turbo.

Handling is nice and tight my first electric power steering.

The rdx was superb car i love the power the comfortness the styling and everything on the car.

The power is great, standard features outstanding and it's so comfortable.

The power band on this SUV will raise your blood pressure and place a ear to ear smile on your face.

I also love the seats, the 12 way power allows me to get very comfortable.

Style&#47;comfort&#47;power&#47;safety, the total package.

The transmission shifts smoothly and picks the right gear almost all the time.

Rides and drives great, mpg a constant 25 mpg, gear shifting is very quick and I believe it shifts 8 or maybe 9 times.

The RDX seems really well engineered and the gear shifts are so smooth.

Updated on 07/24/2020 - One year and 8K miles into the car and we love everything except the gear "shifter" - still have to think too much to shift - not intuitive.

The transmission is always hunting for the correct gear.

comfortable

I have great pickup, comfy seats, seat heaters, apple CarPlay, Acura care, the the best safety features yet, &#38; most importantly great gas mileage.

It is just so comfortable and fun to drive.

It is so easy to drive, very comfortable, uses regular gas and looks nice too.

the interior and seats are very well designed and comfortable.

This car provides everything I was looking for— comfort, responsive driving, and lots of technology.

The ability to change handling settings from Comfort to Sport to Sport+ is a real positive feature.

I get 19- 19.5 around town in COMFORT mode, and 25 on the highway when I baby the thing!

Great value for the money, great warranty, extremely comfortable to drive.

The interior is very comfortable and the ride amazing.

The seats are very comfortable, the skylight is wonderful.

feature

There are a lot better options out there for that money or even less.

This is my 3rd Acura vehicle a  2010 TSX, a 2017 TLX and now a 2020 RDX I have the Advanced package Best value for the money, best quality, best driving experience and Frank Leta Acura has the best service!! !

It is full of features and several thousand dollars less than competitors.

It is beautiful, absolutely wonderful to drive, and has lots of safety features.

I chose this model for the price, the look, the easy to use technology features, and my previous positive experience with Acuras.

This car has about every bell and whistle that you can imagine, including all of the safety features available these days.

Tons of great features, stylish, sporty, fun.

interior

Pros: Interior fit and finish matched and even exceeded my Mercedes (no rattles).

Fit and finish on both the exterior and interior is outstanding.

I like that it is smaller than the MDX, yet it still feels very roomy inside.

My favorite part about the interior is the screen and the push

The interior room has been increased over the previous RDX's I have owned,

The interior and exterior design, drivetrain, and electronics are well executed.

The interior is beautiful with the big moon roof, and great sound system

2020 Kia Telluride

It keeps blinking the warning Check Forward Collision Avoidance Check System, the shift light won’t change, the speedometer won’t read the speed, the level of gas changes from 230 to 0 then back up to 50 and it keeps changing very fast.

Only thing I wish is that I had the upgraded radio for the extra bass.

The main concern I have is that the infotainment system isn’t working right, #1.

but my previous vehicle required turning up the volume on the audio when driving on highway because the sound of the tires on the highway was so loud and the wind noise was just annoying).

However, there is a glitch in the entertainment system that causes the bluetooth feature to not work correctly.

but on the way home from work today the whole infotainment system died.

It's got lots of power, great ride,  great  handling in sport mode.

This is the best car I have owed its roomy great power great on gas and you can fit the whole family in it.

The standard model comes with many very nice features and it has lots of power and safety features.

The drive modes of  Smart- eco & comfort have a big dip in power right after you start from a stop.

Beautiful styling, sufficient power, and all the technology you could want.

but then you feel like it’s constantly holding the tranny in a lower gear- too severe.

Terrific car for my business needs as a pro photographer with a lot of gear.

with all seats folded down able.to transport 3 large dogs and gear .

Love the CarPlay integration and standard safety features.

Handling is wonderful and all the added tech features work great.

Had great pickup speed the safety features were really helpful.

It has all of the features of a much more expensive luxury vehicle.

It is a well styled car full of great amenities.

It has many safety and convenience features, handles very well.

So many features it’s hard to name my favorite.

Tech and safety features are a great value.

Safety features, comfy features, towing ability, get up and go, roominess and even good looking too!

This suv has met all my expectations for driving comfort.

Cabin noise is hardly noticeable and ride comfort is excellent.

It has all the bells and whistles that I wanted. Comfortable.

After test driving the Kia Telluride SX V6, I noticed a much better experience with car suspensions, comfortable and firm car seats, powerful engine and the latest technology you might need to have a safe drive.

Our local trips in town have us anticipating the much longer drives that we know will be comfortable and fun!

The size, comfort, options and reliability make it the right fit for the two of us.

ride

It’s very comfortable and rides very smoothly.

The Telluride rides and drives exceptionally well, even better than the Cadenza.

So far so good, once we purchased the vehicle yesterday I drove it 3 1/2 to 4 hours home and it rides comfortably like a dream.

2020 Acura MDX

For less money, you can get a car with more features more options, amenities more power more comfort less noise and more room and presence

Not enough power,
Feels very small inside

Easy to drive , interior is roomy and comfortable , dependable , plenty of power for its size .

Great Vehicle, awesome pickup power, gas mileage is a great benefit.

Power, performance and handling are good.

Plenty of power, never gets loud, even under full throttle acceleration.

This vehicle meets all of our needs - spacious with a legitimate 3rd row - comfortable - smooth riding and lots of power.

Annoying when you are in a situation that you need it to go into gear, immediately. 4.

Despite Covid, my MDX has hauled the crew and our gear to the mountains, amusement park and Christmas light shows.

2nd gear off the line system is smooth and quiet.

Complete mesh of performance, comfort and utility in a reliable package.

It is by far the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

It drives smooth &#38; comfortable like a car not a truck.

Very comfortable, lots of cargo space and drives like a performance car!

The interior is very comfortable and is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven..

It's extremely comfortable and has all of the newest technology.

Had it been explained that to use all the available Tech options (that they couldn't stop talking about) that we would need to have unlimited data we would have taken a harder look at this vehicle.

All the extra technical amenities add an extra bonus.

The MDX compared to the other luxury SUVs exceeded expectations in amenities, style, ride, and comfort.The value aspect was just a bonus.

The price point and features of the MDX drew us in and did not let go.

The Acura is a nice car with a lot of amenities for a base model.

Best bang for the buck , pure class , sporty , 3rd row , Aspec package is top notch .

It's a smooth ride, great features for tech and comfort.

It’s reliable, low noise inside, with good driving experience.

Gorgeous interior and impressive looking on the outside.

MDX looks nice, has a smother, somewhat quieter ride than the Highlander and nicer leather interior.

I love the interior, the styling and the way it drives.

From the sporty exterior to the luxurious interior I became a fan of Acura overnight.

Love new interior and wider wheelbase on newer model.

In 2018 I decided to shop around and chose, just for fun, the Volvo XC60 - I liked the sporty look and the wood-trimmed interior.

2020 GMC Canyon

Radio issues, cruise control issues, power seat issues, shifting gear issues, and brake issues.

I got the SLT trim, power windows, power mirrors, power and heated seats.

Adequate power from the V6, Nice brakes and steering that actually gives feedback.

The automatic rear locker works great and the ability to put the transmission in low gear and select the gear I want with the touch of a

The ride is a lot smoother than the Colorado and the 8-speed transmission lets the V6 respond eagerly.

The Canyon drives and handles much smaller than it is-- making it very livable in parking garages and street parking-- and ride quality is superb for a truck.

The ride is great, it feels like you are floating on air.

Canyon is appealing to the eye and a great ride.

pick-up

This midsized pickup is perfect for someone who wants to use it for commuting and side projects.

Looked at all mid sized pickups and this was the most stylish and practical for my needs.

I was looking for a midsize pickup with a comfortable cab for my outdoor lifestyle and this truck fit the bill, I love it and am very pleased with the truck.

It is a great midsized pickup with good looks and works just fine for urban life.

It is such a great midsize pickup when you dont need a Fullsize.

Great fit and finish, comfort and performance.

This truck has met all my needs as far as horsepower, towing capacity, ease of driving and comfort while driving.

reliable, comfortable, stylish, and capable for all types of day to day uses.

It met all my needs both long distance  and work couldn't  ask for a better truck.lots of leg room  comfortable  smooth .outline  is excellent  the system  I love it.

2019 Honda Pilot

Honda really let go of their build quality most body line don’t align seat started to make noise, weather stripping coming off all this before 15k the ride is very stiff also also have some transmission issue too.

A month after owning this car it made a horrible cracking noise.

Cracking and piping noise in the dash couldn’t be fixed.

It experiences cracking and popping noises over the speakers, the system shuts down randomly, turns off DVDs or even shuts off all sound in the car.

Same as many reviews here, popping&#47;crackling noise coming from front speakers.

The rear drivers door sticks out close to a 1/2 inch at the top right allowing a ton of road noise.

After purchasing new with 7 miles on it in April of 2019, we began to notice clicking, snapping and cracking sounds coming from the windshield.

You have to take your eyes of the road for too long to effectively navigate the system.

Next, with the pre-collision system, it brakes on its own, and I’m scared that it’ll brake in the middle of the road.

We did have an issue with the entertainment 
 system

The problem starts with the popping sound and only gets worse.

This system was the sole reason we decided to purchase the Honda Pilot over the Toyota Highlander.

DO research about the popping, crackling audio issues with the 2019 Pilot, had I known it was so wide spread and not just a minor issue in a small number of Pilots, would not have bought this SUV!

Audio interruptions, infotainment and dashboard rebooting, speakers crackling and some other audio issues.

My only issue with this car is the constant popping of speakers and the sound will eventually just shut off all together.

Emergency brake was not right & needed to be adjusted

Additionally, whereas in my past cars there was a space between the foot rest and the brake pedal where I could extend my (often achy) left leg, there was no such space in the Pilot.

No need to brake, accelerate and turn on and off.

Hubby was disappointed to find no Break hold feature either.

It has plenty of power and a 9 speed transmission with a sport mode if you need it.

Superb visibility, extraordinary ride, good handling, comfortable, more than adequate power.

Very comfortable----love the carplay----info system easy to understand----wish passenger side had greater variety of power adjustments!!!

Since then, I did more research with Consumer Reports, JD Powers and others on quality and realized that both Honda and Acura have fallen significantly in their quality in recent years.

Very comfortable, the 4.5 hour drive to Michigan was effortless, only wish the power passenger seat was as adjustable as drivers.

Amazed by the power it delivers to the road.

Plenty of power, nice amenities, and very comfortable.

Acceleration from a standstill is sluggish for the horse power this vehicle has.
