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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

power

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

parking

but I’ve taken it to Daytona Beach, where you can drive and park on the sand.

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.

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 Kia EV6

Easy pulling onto highway with the power under your foot.

This car is plenty fast and has plenty of power.

The camera views really help with parking.

Self parking, remote start, intelligent cruise control, plenty of space for gym bags, range bags, ski equipment, backpacks, etc.

This AWD EV is really fast, has plenty of range, crazy fast charging, and will even pull out of sketchy parking spots for you!!!

So excited to park my car and wake up to full battery.

comfortable

We have taken longish (150 plus mile) trips all around and found it very comfortable and surprisingly fun to drive.

Quite, comfortable, stylish and a dream to drive.

I was pleasantly surprised to see just how quickly it would get up to speed on the Highway, and it is comfortable cruising local roads.

The fit and finish, comfort, and performance of our roomy 2022 KIA EV6 have been terrific.

Car is comfortable, with plenty of room for rear passengers.

feature

The remote park feature is used daily to get the car in and out of the garage.

This vehicle has all of the torque and handling of the Tesla, with all of the amenities of a luxury car.

ride

I have 9500 mile on it and love it ride is great and the handling i fine.The interior is laid out great.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

noise

But if you are coming from a luxury car to Rav4 Hybrid, then you are like me to find more cabin noise, less classy things inside

I read some complaints about interior noise.

leg-room

My biggest issue is the wasted space in the engine compartment that could be used to increase legroom by 2 inches in the rear.

I can't get comfortable in this car, the cramped leg room will be terrible on long trips.

paint

The only minor complaint I have at this time is I have a few rock chips already so I question the paint quality&#47;thickness.

Pros: 
Handles well 
Good Sound Quality 
Multiple ports for charging
Comfortable Seats 
Good Storage Capacity

Cons:
Has zero power especially when navigating an incline.

Plenty more f power, very comfortable and iPhone with apple car play so map was displayed on 9” screen.everything synced seamlessly and the JBL sound system is fantastic.

The 2022 has finally power passenger seats.

Wife loves the parking brakes which engages went put into park and disengages when put into Drive.

Lots of different beeps from the safety and parking systems.

It's comfy, nice leather heated&#47;cooling leather seats.

I would highly recommend this car to anyone who enjoys a comfortable, pleasant, economical driving experience combined with Toyota's proven reliability and dependability.

Nice driving car and comfortable inside with all the bells and whistles.

We are very happy with the performance, style, and comfort ability.

The fronts seats are very comfortable in my opinion for the Adventure Trim I have.

Overall the Rav is comfortable and roomy.

mileage

I wished to get affordable car and I got amazing SUV in my RAV4 despite is not Hybrid , mpg is ok .

The car performed beautifully and throughout the trip we got 31-32
mpg&#47;city and 34 mpg&#47;Hwy.

The 4 cylinder gets awesome gas mileage !

Well rounded vehicle, good gas mileage averaging around 40mpg.

I have gotten 37  mpg on long distance driving with perfect conditions.

Getting great mileage in my RAV4 hybrid (43.5 mpg).

fuel

Highly recommend if you want to cut your gas bill.

For general work and putting around the Prime is perfect not to big and surprisingly not to small and did I mention the Gas Mileage or actually the fact this little rig is blisterly fast, put in Sport Mode and hang on, it's no Super Car

I could not be happier with the fuel mileage.

When the gas mileage of a future iteration goes higher, I will definitely get that.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

port

Even using USB cable to connect Android Auto, the system has a hard time maintaining connection at 50&#37; of the time.

I was advised the items: tonneau cover, bed lights and electric cord in bed will take 3 to 4 months till dealers will be in stock. Bummer

heat/air-control

At night switch’s climate controls from whatever you have it set on to defrost and fogs windows up.

While driving the dual wet clutch transmission went into neutral while on a highway.

lane-assist

Even the SEL has electric seat adjustment, tilt steering wheel, heated seats, backup assistance, lane assist, blind spot and other alerts.

but the blind spot warning and various camera modes offset the issues.

child

Loved being the first to show this baby off.

I would never recommend it to a family with children.

It rides so smoothly with great power when needed.

The ride is very smooth and when you need the power to merge in to traffic, you got it.

We love this trucklet, it's my wifes fav car ever, plenty of power and very comfy, low wind noise and bed comes in handy, mpg not super

it's very comfortable and with a power driver's seat & tilt/telescoping steering wheel you would have to be a one armed monkey if you can't find a sweet spot.

It’s really fun to drive with tons of power, great handling and is super quiet.

With the 2.5L turbo, it’s got a ton of power and is really fun to drive on winding backroads.

The technology is very good and the turbo engine has more then enough power to move the trucklet in every day driving.

Look around in a parking lot and notice how cars and trucks all look  the same, some with weird lines and over styled fake bits and pieces.

This is nearly the quality, comfort and full performance value of a BMW or Audi - which I have owned the X3 and the Q5.

Very comfortable, great for my work purpose, wish it got better gas mileage.

I absolutely love it - it’s comfortable, handles well, the bed is really useful and the gas mileage is pretty good.

A recent 300 mile day trip confirmed that the seats are comfortable and well padded.

It drives like an SUV, it’s smooth, fairly quiet, and comfortable, and at the end of the day, I can haul most anything I need outside of professional construction equipment.

The car drives great and the comfort and concept of it are outstanding.

I’d love something a bit more rugged and fun to look at.

Fun to drive, the gas mileage is good at 25 MPG.

I've only had it just over a month, and it is just a fun, smooth riding little yard waste hauler.

It's fun and easy to drive and really turns heads.

but has a bed that's really useful for all the wet stuff when I go kayaking, as well as for other messy fun outdoor sports stuff.

Since I will not utilize the full capabilities of the Truck like features of the Maverick - I LOVE THE SC for the SUV qualities, along with the hard tonneau covered back truck bed; it's the "type" of vehicle I have been wanting for a long time ever since I visited Brazil and Colombia and witnessed the variety of small trucks in those 2 countries.

Overall, I don’t think there’s a more versatile option.

I'm now spoiled by the safety features and large touch screen.

All the goodies you can imagine and a great warranty.

Comes with all the tech and safety features I want and it's VERY well made.

I have the SEL which has all the features I need without overloading the vehicle or my ability to operate it safely.

Super comfort, nice features, the AWD-i system works nice on my everyday snow road… the bed isn’t huge,

The safety features are great and the truck bed is surprisingly useful despite its small size.

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.

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..

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.

I got the XLT trim with only 2 options,  the Blind Spot and the 2.0 Eco Boost engine for more power.

Of the features offered, I opted for the Ecoboost engine, FX4 Off-road AWD package, 4K towing package, power recepticle in the cabin, heated seats and steering wheel, sunroof, and a few other odds and ends to make it a useful and comfortable diet work truck.

but prefer the power,  smoothness and better fuel economy of the premium even though 87 is the recommended fuel.

I hated the rotary shifter, the parking brake that takes 3 days to set and the seats that are designed for people with no legs.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 RAV4 Prime

Lots of safety features, like blind spot monitor, power lift gate, apple play and more

Smoothest car I’ve EVER owned, very comfortable looks Amazing, Drives Amazing.

Comfortable interior and best of all gets around 100 mpg.

but then my arms will probably be extended too far to be comfortable.

We traded it for the Prime we have no regrets at all, on a bad day this car gets 60ish MPG's around town on a full charge 75 .

Responsive steering, different driving modes to choose from on this SE and the mileage. Amazing!

This is a great option to either a Hybrid or a Full EV, a little pricey

It is a very nicely laid out vehicle with lots of safety features and included options.

Great options like ventilated seats, heated rear seats., pano roof.

2022 Hyundai Venue

wheel

Had to sit further from steering wheel than my usual and it eliminated the issue,

The SEL and Limited come with 17 inch wheels and don't look cheap.

With ac on full blast we have plenty of power for driving 75mph on the highway.

It does lack a little power from a stand still, and not a bad thing, people drive too fast anyway,

Great gas mileage, very nimble in a parking lot.

Easy to park in a small place and very good Mileage in the city as well as on the highway.

Gas mileage is great - got 34 mpg first fill.

My thoughts on the 2022 Venue SEL (Galactic Gray):

- Better mileage than advertised (based on my driving so far).

The gas mileage is amazing and for a compact suv the storage is impressive.

small-size

The Hyundai Venue is a small very dependable SUV, it lacks off the line pick up,

.very peppy and drives very smooth for a small SUV.

Comfortable and has a ton of safety options.

This SUV is surprisingly quiet on the highway and far more comfortable that one may think.

This little SUV is alot more comfortable than it looks.

2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid

The engine is a bit noisy when taking off from stop.

but it is something to take note of as the noise is very loud.

I hear a rattling noise from my driver side that I have yet to fix since my closest Toyota is over an hour away.

Also, the cabin is noisy (particularly on the highway).

And last point, the heating system is super drying in this car -- I've never driven a car that dries out my nasal passages,

My three month old 2022 Camry Hybrid hybrid system malfunctioned in negative temperatures.

A natural blend of fossil fuel engine for power and reliability with an optimal high-energy-output electric motor for slower speeds.

Comfortable, quiet,  and has plenty of power.

but I've driven a lot of Camrys over the years and they have always been fun to drive in terms of engine power.

Comfortable, quiet, roomy, fuel efficient  (LE version).

seats are comfortable,  with lumbar support  car handles good.

It is very comfortable on long or short trips.

The car is comfortable, has a lot of new technology and rides well.

The style is very attractive and the driving experience is comfortable.

This car is amazing, very quiet, comfortable and it’s quick.

From day one I was surprised how much I really enjoy driving this car.

Matt Lowry, really enjoy your Facebook posts.

The car is easy to handle, goes over bumps smoothly, and it truly is enjoyable to drive.
