2020 Subaru Forester

noise

Let down by rattles.. right door rattles and there are buzzes near the S pillar and headliner.

Engine noise excessive, gas mileage and acceleration substandard.

With just me in car it feels underpowered and strained to accelerate 

- for &#36;28k plus I’m shocked at the cabin noise.

I immediately was curious to find out about the whining from people about Auto/Stop start and lack of turbo! Well.

Engine noise is not up to other suv choices, wind noise unacceptable at speeds over 50 mph.

power

It is difficult to modulate smooth power delivery in stop and go traffic, or neighborhood settings, when you constantly need to vary vehicle speed between 15 and 30 MPH.

It has plenty of power to make it to the top of the mountain with ease.

The engine power is fine for commuting or road trip use.

Plenty of power for anyone with great gas mileage.

I'm writing this review to assure potential Forester buyers that in my experience the vehicle has plenty of power to do what its actually designed to do.

Willing to forego some horse power for the car that seems to do everything well.

tank

Rides nice and my first tank around town is 27mpg.

The 2020 states they fixed some bugs.We use lucas fuel stabilizer every tank and mid grade gas every few tanks and get above rated gas mileage.

feature

Many of the safety related driver-assist features are very poorly implemented, turning them into a nuisance rather than an asset.

Car is comfy, has nice accessibility features, easy to drive.

Great technology, safety features, and modern cabin look and feel.

I like the all wheel drive feature better than front wheel drive.

Overall the cars have been excellent and we love the package and the orange accents on the vehicle.

Full of safety features, second Forester owned.

Excellent gas mileage, love the large sunroof, many safety features, comfortable ride, love the color, Jasper green, lots of room.

One thing, I would have chosen the touring model because it has a few other great features including a heated steering wheel

safety

Really good all around view and a strong sense of safety.

It is rated best in safety, best in value retention, and best in reliability.

Very impressive gas mileage, safety features, and we have been extremely impressed by fit and finish.

however the Convenience is very well equipped and comes with many top safety technologies.

It includes safety with StarPlus and Subaru standards that I found lower my insurance rates.

The safety features and quiet ride are amazing.

comfortable

On the plus side, visibility from the cabin is excellent, and the interior is roomy and comfortable.

It’s peppy, quiet, and very comfortable.

Our 2020 Subaru Forrester so far has been amazing in comfort, ride, design, engineering, looks, and space.

Road trips are very comfortable and we find the seats to be very acceptable in that department.

Very smooth ride, comfort, vision clear in all directions.

It is very comfortable, has plenty of storage room, great off road capacity, and good ascension/breaking.

It's super comfortable, great on fuel, feels safe and has a great steering feel and even my 22 year old son/24 year old daughter enjoy driving it.

2020 Toyota Prius Prime

battery

The electric motor is plenty powerful and I haven’t run out of battery yet while driving around home.

getting ridiculous mileage by charging the battery from a regular outlet almost every night.

I do wish the battery had a longer distance

Since I really liked the '08 Prius and its 40+mpg in the city, I never looked at anything else, upgrading to the Prius Prime and its ability to run on pure battery power for the first 25 miles after recharging overnight.

Car feels very solid and substantial, rides great and has plenty of power.

Plenty of zoom to merge onto freeway in the power mode.

Have to open and close drivers door several times to reset and get power back.

One trip from CT to NYC and I am still almost full tank and 104 mpg!

I’ve had it for 6 months, and it still has the original full tank of gas.

Best of all I’ve owned it for 3 weeks and only filled it up once and I drive it every day ( and it still has a full tank ).

At the same time, the car is stylish and very comfortable.

Test drove and we were completely blown away by the amount of technology and comfort.

I am happy with the comfort of the seating and quality of construction.

It’s a nice comfortable and quiet ride.

Styling, comfort, ride and tech, it is by far the best for that combination.

I find everything comfortable and intuitive to use/control and it's responsive and nice to drive.

Let me just say that this car drives so smooth and comfortable on the road. .and.

This car is beautiful, reliable, comfortable and rides like a bigger car.

mileage

Pros:
-Comfortable
-In EV mode great to drive
-Efficient for MPG
-Apple Car Play

Cons:
-Slow hybrid engine
-Low EV range vs. other plug ins (RAV 4).

Love the gas mileage and the extra safety features.

And, finally, that the gas mileage is astounding!

This car meets my day-to-day needs and gets amazing mileage.

ride

Great car nice ride and rarely do i need to put gas in it

Performance suits me just fine, quick enough when necessary, and the ride is smooth.

Plenty of legroom and very quiet and a smooth ride compared to my last car (Honda Fit).

2019 Ford Ranger

but at low speed a terrible and scary vibration, as if wheels are going to cave in, called the dealer an gotten no response!

Parking sensors are defective and go off non stop or no reason with a loud squealing warning noise in the cab, collision warning and assist is usless and gives false warnings .

the outside noise was really bad and very annoying.

Biggest complaint is the buzzing noise from the engine on surface streets.

Engine is noisy at low gear acceleration and with climate control system on.

radio

radio not good ( 6 trips to dealer and 2 speakers replaced has not fixed) and overpriced tonneau cover leaks causing some of our golf equipment to be ruined.

but experiencing significant malfunctions with the display screen freezing and radio not working.

what moron would design a truck that is so high and the back of the truck so jacked up that you can't reach into the bed and then mount the antenna on the roof so it can get ripped off by a garage door or any low object.

Nothing added except a/c and radio and 5 speed manual.

where the radio sometimes don’t work same with the USB ports oh let’s not for get the the radio and light don’t shut off when u park and take keys out.

It is just perfect size and plenty of power.

Great power from the little turbo four cylinder.

The power of the turbo-charged engine along with its sporty styling are the main reasons I chose it over other trucks in its class.

The Ranger has more power than you will ever need.

Great pickup, plenty of power, bed is a great size for hauling pavers and other supplies.

This truck has everything I wanted.Rides great great gas milage good power for smaller truck has more options than I will ever use

The 2015 Ram power wagon was loaded with everything.

I get 23.2-26.8 with the 2.3L depending on my driving habits that tank.

It meets everything I wanted in a truck with out being a tank.

For a midsize truck, you get big truck comfort and performance.

She loves it, and feels safe and comfortable in it with the kids , that’s what matters.

This would make it more comfortable for the passengers in the front seat and rear.

This truck is amazing, comfortable, pretty quick and great on gas.

This is the reason I gave 3stars for comfort.

The Ride, Handling, Comfort, Style and the looks!

It is comfortable, in the front as well as back seats, which has plenty of headroom for my 14 year old son, who is 6' tall.

but it does exceed expectations in appearance, comfort and acceleration.

I hate all the reminders on the dash, the traction control , and how it shuts off on its own unless you deactivate that feature.

This small truck has all of the safety and convenience features I shopped for.

Truck had all the features and options we were looking for.

I bought the Lariat FX4 with the black appearance package in platinum white with every option available love this truck.

Storage space under the back seat and it came with an inexpensive spray bed package

The 4 wheel drive options for sand, gravel, mud, etc work GREAT for me.

I loved all the features, so I knew exactly what I wanted.

Off road package is great I recently took it off road down a very steep mud road and it was excellent with the trail control package.

Rides very smoothly and would highly recommend to friends and family.

My 2019 Ranger is great, it rides very nice, looks great.

The only difference is a more comfortable ride and all the new electronic gadgets that make driving safer and easier today.

Nice ride and doesn’t drive like a remember a truck driving 
Very pleased with my new truck

I was so impressed by what they did with the ranger interior, exterior and ride.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta

Don't hear the Darth Vader transmission noise others have referred to,

The sensor that prevents you from hitting things alerts for no reason, the transmission sticks and makes grinding noises.

Usually flawless.But, strange how VW is ignoring this noise.

I have had it into the shop and they fixed most of the rattles and the fix lasted a week.

ORIGINAL BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN MOIST DEALER SAID NORMAL ITS NOT NORMAL.

Same transmission grinding noise as everyone else.

The drivers seat squeaks a bit and there is a rattle somewhere behind the glove box, which I will let my service department know about at the first oil change.

Vent distribution
Creaking noises
Burns oil
Break noise
Windshield viper
It is very frustrating to have a brand new car that has so many problems and you have to fix something almost every month.

transmission

Makes a strange Burr noise from transmission on light lazy acceleration.

Many recalls and transmission sensors failed twice, the said mpg is way lower than advertised and guarantee does not cover bended rotary after 20000 miles and consider it as wear and tear!! !

The transmission has two seperate known issues, It has a noticeable torque converter rattle at low speeds, and uneven shifting in the lower gears, oh yea some of them leak fluid as well.

8 speed has shifting problems at 3-5 gears, low rpm, torque, rattles, grinding noise, burns oil, and has leaks after less than a year. problem!

Some of the biggest complaints: Bland highway manners, vague steering feel,  weird grind in the transmission when shifting, very poor seats,.

failure

If this were as simple as turning the key, I wouldn’t have minded what I assume were occasional malfunctions of the start/stop system.

however repair or replace it should it fail completely during the 72mth or 72K warranty (which was for model year 2019 only ! )

It has been to the dealer 3 times for a faulty transmission and passenger window that does not go up and down.

gear

Car is changing gears flawless at this time.

But instead, the sequence went: put in gear, press gas, notice nothing happens, follow dash instructions to put back in P, turn key, read helpful direction to press brake in order to start car, finally get it started and then—put it back in gear.

Quiet ride except for the grinding noise in the transmission switching from 4 th to 5th gear
Buyer beware 
Dealer has no idea how to fix the problem

port

5- 1 charging USB in the center console, it should be in the back seat.

although it would be better if it is also bluetooth rather than USB.

3- there is only 1 USB data port, so either you have the apple car play or the iPod, you CAN NOT have both at the same time.

but not as good nor I don't think it is transferable (look it up though)

10. the design is simple and sophisticated

11. lots of side pocket spaces

Negatives

1. only on USB port

2. the power isn't great sometimes if you need to go quick from a stop

3.

It’s very nice to drive and has decent power, considering it’s only a 1.4 liter, which regularly gets me more than 40 mpg.

The small 1.4 liter engine still has a lot of power, especially in the sport mode.

The all-new VW Jetta is an all around great car that drives good, handles and hugs the road well, rides smooth, has plenty of power, and the build quality seems to be good.

The engine has more than enough power to make the car a rocket.

Power steering is so light it's like moving your fingers through air.

Power is surprisingly decent given the numbers.

Power was very nice on the two lane hilly roads.

The little 1.4 liter turbo and 8 speed transmission together delivers adequate power as well as amazing MPG.

Love everything about this car, great styling, comfort, power and quality.

The engine has adequate power for the car size even with 4 people ( 610 lbs total weight with full tank of fuel ).

My average per tank is around 42mpg on 87 octane unleaded, I've watched it climb as high as 47mpg!

Drove over 330 miles and wasn't even at half and for a small 13.2 gallon tank that is incredible.

My very first tank of gas was 34 mpg which was a combination of city and highway.

Talk about a gas saver, it uses 87 and a full tank lasts for over 3weeks (you can get 40miles/gallon).

Quite comfortable, and roomy enough for my wife and I to do some long road trips.

but the car is comfortable, roomy- especially the trunk- great seats and more equipment than you would expect from most small cars.

Plenty of leg room front and back, comfy seats that hold you, it drives so smooth 10/10

Extra level of mental comfort with that really long warranty.

but when I could let it out I did, the car seemed to have excellent pick up, it was a comfortable, roomy ride.

My car is ideal for my needs at the moment, very comfortable and reliable.

fuel

On top of that gets 2-3 times better gas mileage!

NOT VW..BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE OF THE VALUE IT IS GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY,  VERY QUICK, SOLID, VERY GOOD FUEL ECONOMY, ENGINE IS QUIET, NICE RIDE, GOOD SOUND SYSTEM, TONS OF OPTIONS FOR NO EXTRA COST.

This is a very great vehicles great on the highway great on the road good traveling car Great on gas great I’m getting oil changes every six months to a year

So far I love the car, the gas mileage is amazing and it drives very nice.

It's gas economic, it has all the accessories I needed.

It has great gas mileage, gets me to and from all of my desired destinations and has lots of space for all of my items.

Great look inside and out drives great I like all the features great salesmen and customer service price was great no pushy sales people they work with you to get you in the car you want

Many nice features such as Bluetooth and apple car play.

Speed density steering and numerous safety features.

Leather interior, remote start feature, heated seats (all passengers), heated steering wheel, Apple car play, panoramic sun roof, you name it!

I really like all the interior features : heated seats/steering wheel, Bluetooth, backup camera, etc.

A GTI with similar features costs much more - and let's face it - looks like a car for teens.

2019 Kia Niro

But, for getting around town and the occasional stint on the hiway, this car handles very nicely with good pickup and passing power.

It has no power unless you use sports mode.

Very roomy for a small SUV, and I especially love the dual AC, power folding door mirrors, and the auto lock feature.

- Why didn't Kia include a 12 volt power port for rear seating passenger s?

It has plenty of power for cruising around town and on the highway.

So we have an under-performing power train, reminiscent of a Buick I once owned.

From the 3 prong power plug in the back sest to the air conditioned and heated leather seats, this car has it all.

With a SPORT MODE that super powers the car and INSTANT throttle response!

good car great gas mileage, Enjoy to drive, car have lot of power for a small  SUV.

Have been getting a steady average per tank of gas of 55+ MPH! Wow.

Being in Canada we are metric so have to confirm that I am getting just under 900 kms per tank, which is 45 litres capacity.

If you are an experienced HYBRID vehicle driver, you will love how this vehicle drives, brakes, turnd in small spaces, gives great money saving gas mpg (40+), and a great driving range of 500+ miles per tank when you gas up!

this car is great its is kia niro hybrid  gets 52 mpg in city and 48 0n the road and its only has a 11 gal tank

Reliable performance, excellent gas mileage

If I drive it easy I can get 50+ MPG, if I drive it hard 30's.

Overall great car with excellent mileage performance.

Awesome vehicle it's tight gas mileage is amazing performances amazing couldn't be happier

That alone made the car ride way better and gas mileage improved by about 7 % .

I like the gas mileage I get & enjoy that it’s like half car half SUV.

I especially like the great gas mileage for this crossover (56mpg)- much better than the "hybrid" Lexus RX450H (26mpg) that I traded in for the Kia .

Excellent, reliable car with great mileage (45-75 mpg) like a plug in Prius,

It is very comfortable, perfect for what I do, and I love the gas mileage.

Now that is what I called good fuel economy!

For me it has the best combination of fuel efficiency, interior space, technology and safety features for the price.

The Kia Niro hybrid is fuel efficient, as promised.

This car is nice to drive, very comfortable.

So many creature comforts like 6 drink holders at least and multiple usb ports and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
