2022 Kia Carnival

noise

Check engine light came out 2 times after I bought with in  2-3 months, it’s brand new van and it’s vibrating when press in gas what is unacceptable please don’t buy any kia I believe.

lights

2) lack of low end torque 3) check engine light came on twice in cold weather (-18c) .

Interior lights found on after parked for a while, 3 times, may be a fob click thing.

power

- Engine is decent from a power perspective

Love having the 360 camera and power folding mirrors available on the SX (not the top model) too.

recline

The middle row reclining seats are a cool feature

The captains chairs are full loungers where again anyone over 6ft tall can actually recline, with feet elevated and not even come close to touching the driver or passenger seat.

Recliners in back awesome for all except fully reclined for taller than 5' 5" roughly.

With my new Prestige she can ride without pain because the second row reclining seats help her elevate her legs to avoid the fluid retention caused by her lymphedema.

feature

Like it's look, rich in tech and features (bought the top trim),

Other really cool new features are that both the skylight windows open in the front and the back.

With that being said, all the features are great!

Overall a great vehicle, many great features

Great features on the EX trim, stunning looks, and smooth drive.

Love the passenger view and talk - handy feature for a carload.

Then for the price, you had to really empty the bank to get any of the nicer features on it.

although this Carnival had great features, there are somethings about it that are annoying.

comfortable

The carnival is stylish, clean looking, comfortable, and great for road trips!

My wife and I recently retired and wanted a new, reliable vehicle for trips and everyday driving.The KIA Carnival is great people and pet mover with a smooth ride and comfortable interior.

- Seats are, generally, comfortable for long trips.

Great car, spacious, comfortable and fun tech.

The 13 year old grand kids deal with the travels in comfort.

It is more comfortable than the Pacifica.

Super spacious, comfortable, loaded with features!

family

I am one impressed Kia repeat owner and I look forward to showing off the Carnival to all my mom friends!

We are a blended family and they are ages 10, 12, 12 and 14.

Plenty of room inside even in 3rd row for our 6’3” son.

but you have kids that love to ding doors parked next to your car, THIS Multi-Purpose Vehicle is the one to buy.

I got family that’s Kia fans and recommend me test drive one, it was nice I wasn’t too impressed with it, it had that familiar feel when I test drove a Sedona many years ago, felt cheap in my opinion..but to each their own.

What an amazing family car and this from for  Toyota owner! !

I would definitely recommend this vehicle to other moms.

2020 Kia Sportage

The ride is noisy with the 19in tires, wind noise is bad  and the gas milage is terrible.

but the 19" wheels make to much noise and the wind noise is more than I expected.

paint

Cargo area has very thin plastic that if a can of paint rolls it will crack the cheap thin plastic.

The car has plenty of power and is surprisingly nimble considering it is not a sports car.

The vehicle is surprisingly fun to drive for a crossover, with the 240-hp turbo motor providing healthy off-the-line response and good passing power higher elevations.

It has a nice, smooth ride and plenty of power.

The ride is great, it's quiet, comfortable, economical and pleanty of power, especially in the 'sport' mode.

However, Kia has and remains super reliable, the vehicle is comfortable and has enough power.

2020 Red Sportage S.  I love the power; I can park it anywhere.

The hyundia Tucson 2.0L we traded was underpowered and the Sportage 2.4L has plenty of power.

But again, at this price point the car also has ventilated seats and power folding mirrors.

Rear seats recline is awesome for the price.

I enjoy all the creature and safety features it has.

Seats are comfortable and it came with a lot of options.

I love where all the controls are located, easy handling and great safety features.

It’s safety features alone make this a great car.

It's equipped standard with lots of goodies and modern features which is nice, and in some cases very useful.

The interior is sharp and slick with the right amount of features.

The SX model has pretty much every available option included,

The Kia Sportage is the perfect mid size SUV with excellent mileage and great navigational features.

Don't get me wrong, 99 percent of people will probably find this car comfortable enough for them

The sportage can seat four adults (six footers included) comfortably which is quite a feat for a midsize-compact SUV.

But it’s also roomy and comfortable in all the seats.

Amazing car!Very reliable and very comfortable during driving.

Right size, style, comfort and technology.

Sportage is very nice and comfortable car,free leg space, good on gas mileage , I'll always recommend this car to a friend with a family of of 3 or 4.

safety

So safety is paramount, and low maintenance costs are a huge plus as well.

I FIND THAT QUALITY TO ADD TO THE SENSE OF SECURITY AND SAFETY.

On top of all of the great amenities that come standard on this model; my monthly insurance premium dropped notably due to the high safety ratings.

The Personal Package on the LX model gives you the added safety features, includes turbo speed and handles and looks great.

Lots of safety tech and convenient tech also on the sportage sx turbo.

Drives quiet and smooth with great electronics and safety features.

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe

windshield

The wipers are hidden and not able to stay upright in the off position .

3) I don't know if it's a design flaw or a new thing: you can't put the windshield wipers up to clean the windshield or prevent them from sticking on when there's freezing rain.

Lots of safety features, legroom, plenty of power, excellent handling, quiet cabin noise level, thoughtful design, gas mileage typically 28-32 mpg.

Nice styling great handling, plenty power, excellent gas range, plenty of room for five adults and still has plenty of storage space.

I was able to get the Limited version, with a HUGE sunroof(pretty much entire roof of car), power seats, remote start, heated seats, upgraded audio system, Android/Apple Auto programs, power liftgate, rear tinted windows etc.

The 2.0 turbo engine delivers power when you need it most.

It has enough power for me and my driving style.

My Wish List:  more power or the option to get the turbo at this level and turn signal on mirrors.

For this price, it came with far more features and power than the RAV-4 or CRV.

It handles great , easy to park , and has plenty of power for passing and getting away from tight traffic.

The 185 HP 2.4L engine provides adequate power

Great power with the turbo (a bit of turbo lag

The interior of my Santa Fe is so comfortable, and the seats in the back recline.

The driver's seat is very comfortable, I like that the 2nd row seats can be moved forward or backward and recline.

This ride also has plenty of cargo space and I like how you can flatten out the back seats and they also even recline.

Rear seats can be reclined which is great.

I wanted to have as many safety features as I could to help her.

The Santa Fe has the safety features I wanted, tons of cargo and storage room and room for long legs!

Nice color good engine and drive excellent low miles on it and safety features i recommended the car and the dealer

Lots of convenient features (some of which we haven’t yet had a chance to try).

Great safety features and comfort options.

I love the hands free option for my phone.

Comfort features that are wonderful now that I live in Aurora Colorado.

We really like the room and comfort of this car.

The car is comfortable and has very good gas mileage.

It has a comfortable ride and excellent fuel economy for an SUV of this size.

This car has plenty of legroom, mid sized family car, easy to handle,comfortable ride, all the bells and whistles, 1st SUV I have ever owned and love it.

I rent cars for trips often including much higher dollar SUV’s and this vehicle drives as good or better, and is much more comfortable than most of them.

This one is absolutely the best value, comfortable, all needed safety equipment, nice looking.

It handles beautifully, is very comfortable, and has fantastic safety featurs.

The Technology and safety features are industry leaders.

The Santa Fe has surprised me with all its safety features.

2019 Nissan Pathfinder

brake

and the center console doesn't even connected to android , not to mention hand brake using the leg (so occurred) how outdated it is ???

Issue is serious enough that I may want to swap Pathfinder for something with better brakes which is a shame as I really like Nissan.

When we came down the winding roads from Yosemite the brakes got hot .

Tapping the brakes to kick off the cruise will cause a nose dive.

design

To the Nissan design team - “copy / paste” is not always the best design practice.

The interior design lacks edge and I felt it was behind the curve

wheel

though it is a four wheel drivetrain, there is no stiffnesss nor rough ride at all.

The only negative for say is the fact that the back wheel is a bit forward which caused the people sitting at the end to feel the deeps of the road more than everyone else.

buttons on the steering wheel are not only hard to read but are touchy several times I changed the radio while turning into a parking lot.

transmission

1 year and 6 months later Nissan had to completely swap out the transmission.

The only negative response I give this vehicle is the cvt transmission.

I'm not a fan of CVT transmissions in general,

Transmission is some kind of misunderstanding.

It is reliable, has a great stereo system, nice features, pretty blue color, and plenty of power,

V6 engine has lots of pep and moves this SUV in a good balance of power and MPG.

but on highway is most reliable with the MPG and the power to pass lanes.

This SUV iS reliable, has good handling, power, and safe.

The new model has a better ride, more power and they have improved the CVT.

You have power when you need it and handles well in foul weather and flooded areas.

The car is amazing and reliable with loads of power, we used to to travel to see my son play college football (won another ring ;) 2 years in a row) full of people and it never falters.

It has plenty of power and the fuel mileage was ok (23 mpg 95% highway travel).

2nd row has plenty of seating with recline and sliding rails.

It's really cool the 3rd row because the seat can recline and also there's cup holders.

This SUV gets good mileage for a V6, is fairly quiet and comfortable.

Got my SL Rock Creek Edition one years ago, great SUV for road trips, quiet, roomy and comfortable.

This car checked all the boxes for comfort and style.

but not great for comfort and not a sharp looker.

The driver’s seat was the most comfortable I’ve ever been in.

My husband, son, and dad are all 6+ feet tall and they are comfortable in the 2nd row seats.

Comfortable seats and well isolated even with the winter tires on.

room

Enough room for my family
Love the heated and cooled seats
Pulls my boat with ease
Very easy to maneuver with the surround cameras 
Great car

It has the most room in its class, especially third row seating.

Vehicle drives smoothly, has plenty of space for the entire family, and several features that cost more in other similar sized vehicles.

but i have room for the other family that regularly travels with us.

This car is luxurious while providing room for all passengers.

After test driving all the top rated SUV's I found the Pathfinder was quieter with more room and and had a smoother ride.

Comfortable and meets the needs for space.

Plenty of room for everyone, very comfortable seats and high end tech features that rival all other major brands, at a lower cost.

Every active mom who needs to be able to drive off the beaten path needs this SUV!

The third row seating completes the family car that it was meant to be for me.

Love the car got it a while ago it’s amazing kids love it and family and friends the color and everything is amazing the best car ever

My college age daughters found the back seat very spacious, as long as the front seaters didn’t slide their seats all the way back.

The truck space is good , I can either have my dog sitting there or with 3 rd seats when it’s needed.

2018 Ford Escape

Rattles are starting to show up and the gas tank is much smaller than I thought it was.

This car makes noises that can be worrisome from the front end.

Reliable, a little noisy on the transmission

Open them and wind noise makes it impossible to hear.

problem with the engine running heavy and knocking noise, I do not think this car is reliable as a long term car.

I love the yellow warning lights when a car is next to me and the beeping noise it makes when I'm pulling out of a parking spot.

However, there are so many noises this car makes!

I purchased a used Escape for $15,000 with 34,000 miles on it that had been part of a rental fleet and within 2 hours after driving it off the lot, it started making noises.

failure

Module failed allowed coolant into cylanders dealer hacked it back together then rear differential failed had to be replaced hopefully lemon law will protect me

Main dash instruments do a weird light malfunction every so often.

tank

Really, my only complaints about this car is that for a small SUV it probably gets the lowest gas mileage of all of them and the gas tank is not very big.

Been back to dealer for “thud” sound when backing up, they said it can be fixed with straps on gas tank.

The only thing I don't like is the gas tank opening is on the passenger side.

One thing that is totally unique that  Ford is the only one that makes a capless gas tank,  so like that when I fill up I don?t smell like gas, removing and putting on the gas cap.

battery

The car is useless it is a 2018 and has battery issues.

Extremely poor design and worst documentation when it comes to the battery.

lots of room, heated seats and steering wheel very comfortable, love the turbo for power bursts when necessary.

Never lacked for power highway driving and takes regular unleaded gas

Another nice option was FordPass app for phone which allows remote starts status monitoring, etc.

Silky smooth power with a transmission to
Match.

It handles easily and has the power you need to get out of any situation.

The 1.5L has all the power needed to handle all situations.

Like the styling .Plenty of power for a small engine.

This vehicle has power, is quick and very stable on the road.

The towing package and power with turbo is strong with my UTV and its trailer.

Rear seat have decent head and leg room along with a reclining feature to make It one of the best back seats in this size SUV.

I love the Bluetooth connection I love the back seats recline!

The cabin is comfortable and quiet and has almost all the options l wanted.

Excelleration, ride, handling,  and overall comfort.

This car drives well, is comfortable and efficient,

This is a small SUV, so it is comfortable, not spacious.

I just took a 3 plus hour drive to the shore and remarkably comfortable.

Dash controls take a while to get comfortable with and I would like to see a more positive feel to all

Easy to drive and real comfortable, with great visibility all around outside.

Size is very comfortable and area behind seats is large for many items

It drives so nice and has so many features that make me never want to get out of it!

Has all the features we were looking for in a smaller SUV.

It has a nice set of features at this price point.

Very reliable, perfect size for my needs, you can lower the back seats for a lot of room!

A.C. plenty cold, seats comfortable and navigation was a Godsend when accident forced us to change routes

Plenty of room for storage and plenty of power.

I was sold on the space and the interior inside.
