2022 Volkswagen Taos

transmission

The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic.

I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome.

The DSG transmission is a very poor choice for this vehicle.

The transmission is a bit laggy from a start

but until the embarrassing 7-speed transmission gets addressed, I wouldn't recommend the Taos to someone.

The only negative comments I have is about the transmission.

but the uneven power delivery is a hazard and I would warn others to avoid the AWD version until a future time when VW either fixes this condition or uses a different transmission in the next version.

lights

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

I purchased this in January and at only 4000 miles has been to the dealer multiple times for stop start stalling, EPC code, check engine light and other electronic issues.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

pressure

Quick, easy, no pressure, equals a beautiful car.

turn-handling

To the Taos' credit, it does handle mountain passes very well, I've driven over 3 of them in Colorado so far and the Taos has performed well in that aspect, you can feel the turbo kick in as you begin to climb and it's a satisfying feeling.

It has a very comfortable ride (a little on the firmer side) and it handles very well for a CUV.

Great fuel economy, handles like a sports car and plenty of room on the in the cabin.

The handling and increased gas mileage is superior.

The Taos is very light on it's feet, responsive, good turning radius and holds the road through corners very well, surprisingly well.

ride

but gained AWD, way more passenger space for family and friends and a more comfortable riding position for when I feel like running about.

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.

Nice balance between sportiness, efficiency, noise, & ride.

It's a very compact car, I find that the passenger seat ride is okay - I have a baby-seat in the rear that only allows for so much room in front-passenger seat

It’s a comfortable ride and easy to maneuver.

The car is beautiful on the outside and such a smooth ride.

Acceleration is not bad, better in Sport mode, ride is good, and handling surprisingly nimble.

comfortable

The soft touch makes resting the elbow more comfortable,

Sporty stylish exterior and technology-packed interior with loads of room and extremely comfortable seats.

On our first road trip we averaged almost 42 MPG in great comfort and safety.

Interior is extremely comfortable for 4, w/ lots of luggage space.

but nice, and the seats are super comfortable.

room

I'm 6'6" and I fit quite comfortably inside, plenty of head, leg, and knee room!

but, you should not need to push the seat back for basic foot room.

I'm 6'4, and I have ample leg and head room.

2022 Cadillac CT5

The heads-up display is great and I've configured the dashboard to monitor things I want like tire pressure and coolant temperature (among many other possible things).

Very smooth and handles very well in traffic.

This CT5 is fun to drive and consistently turns heads everywhere I go.

audio-system

Premium Luxury gave me all the options I could want including a 15 speaker Bose system.

engine

I have the bigger engine 3.0 V-6 and there’s plenty of power and the ride is excellent.

We have the twin-turbo engine and, as advertised, it accelerates well.

feature

2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Then the car suddenly slowed, lost power, and multiple electrical systems reported malfunctions in the dash display.

They should be red or at least color selectable based on user preference through the infotainment system.

Info system is hard to use and touchy, one wrong touch and I start all over.

noise

Some other misses in my opinion: 

The amber proximity warning lights in the mirrors.

Jeffrey Parham the salesperson @ napleton River oaks Honda have excellent customer service skills, he was very attentive to what I wanted to purchase, without pressure I'm a very happy customer.

Good gas mileage, love the keyless entry and car is so easy to handle.

I have two children, it is very comfortable for them when I travel distances.

Visibility is much better all around, and comfort is superior.

Other than that CAR is very comfortable to Drive Nice Features.

So quiet, we haven't lost anything in comfort or quality.

mileage

Nice interior Haven't hit the EPA MPG yet, well short.

THIS IS OUR 3RD C-RV HYBRID, BEST CAR EVER  -  GETS 40-50 MPG.

The mileage is better than the EPA estimate, both in town and on the highway.

Smooth running, excellent power acceleration and great mileage.

My 2019 Jeep gets better mpg than the 2022 Hybrid CV-R. CR-V I gets 25mpg on hwy.

Hybrid gets great mpg if you only drive 25mph

Outdoor temperature also plays into mileage.

I’m still discovering more goodies every time I drive it.

2022 BMW 330e

So far so good no problems, the 19 inch tires lose about a 1 psi a week.

The ultimate driving machine: speed, handling, space and fuel efficiency.

2022 Acura RDX

It’s extremely comfortable, seats have 12 way power, you can extend the bottom of the seat for longer legs, (no more pressure points while driving), the lumbar adjusts up, down, side to side.

interior

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.

cruise

Lots of convenience features like heated steering wheel, automatic dimming hi beams, adaptive cruise control, etc.

When the adaptive cruise control is set, the car keeps you centered in your lane.

2021 Subaru Forester

Road noise seemed pronounced to me in around town driving.

Lincolns don't have this included even and you only care when you need it so this is piece of mind
+Minimal cabin noise during highway driving, excess of 75 or really windy you can experience some wind noise

I find the acceleration very responsive when I apply smooth steady pressure to the gas pedal.

It gets good gas mileage, has a smooth ride, and can handle off-roading.

The handling, safety features, styling, and technology are all on point.

The car handles well in snow where others dont.

The torque vectoring allows for snappy handling when switching lanes and the turning radius is very tight and makes for great parking lot maneuvering.

The ride is great and it handles very well.

Love the handling, seating comfort, sound system - great car!

It handles well  and the controls are easy to operate.

Roomy, controls are easily accessible, the visibility is great, it handles well and is easy to park.

I love the new headlights that see around a corner and the seat comfort.

Fit and finish are exceptionally good and the cabin, while not super fancy, is quiet and comfortable.

This Forrester Touring has similar comfort

It is a very comfortable car and very quiet.

Those who have rode in the back find it very comfortable and enjoy that the seating height is higher than in front giving them a great view ahead.

but the car has all of the features we need, great room front and back and great comfort.

This car meets my needs of comfort seating, leg room,
Traveling space and room for grandkids!

I feel super safe, comfortable, and current with all the available new tech.

Outside features are very nice except the looks.

I have the Limited version, it has all the amenities I could ask for.

It has amazing safety features as well as ease of entry.

This SUV meets all our needs and gives features that we didn't even expect Being older drivers the safety and driver assist allow us to feel very safe behind the wheel.

The suite of safety features is complete - lane departure, auto braking to emergency stop, adaptive cruise.

The amount of storage is excellent, and with all of the safety features I've never felt more secure on the road.

safety

Reliability, dependability, safety, quality and fuel economy for a full time AWD vehicle.

Subi knows their value and I think they care about the customer and their safety first, everything else falls in place because of that.

Besides the outside appearance, is the safety of the vehicle.

2021 Mazda CX-5

gear

The transmission hesitates and thumps (in lower gears), making cornering, stopping and starting terrible.

and the car is in passing gear and the tack  is at 6,000rpm the car is doing 72 mph and it just stays there it wont down shift into drive .

Not as good as we had hoped, I could change gear in a manual gearbox car quicker than this car changes, also for the money not at all good value, sad to say we are already talking about changing it for something else.

keyless

buttons are hidden in the cup holder&#47;armrest compartment which should have been rethought and moved elsewhere.. Maybe the door perhaps or under the climate control vents.

buttons on the side that are difficult to see, the car is a gas guzzler with a small gas tank (I didn't like all the extra stops for gas and the flimsy gas lid), the turbo lags, the ride is bumpy, the interior paint around the inside doors is cheap and does not have a gloss coat like the car exterior, the wheel wells have cheap felt inside them making them difficult to clean, the interior lighting is poor even with the included floor lighting in the signature, and the driver's side leather seat was starting to wrinkle after only 2 months!

tire

Never sure if it's just cold or actually a low tire, have to always check it to be safe.

The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated.

backing

), the non-touch screen was frustrating, the cup holders were in a bad place, the armrest was too short that I couldn't use it--it's positioned too far back for a female driver, the seats are too straight that I would slide while making turns, the window line is too high--it's too small going through a drive-thru as there is not a good clearance to receive orders, the back windows do not fully roll down, it does not have knee airbags, the heated steering wheel only partially heats—I would touch cold parts during backing out, the key fob is a cheap quality with small

failure

My salesperson failed to tell me that the steering wheel is only partially heated, which for me is a big issue.

Several attempts to correct the issue have all failed.

Every airbag inflated and I felt surrounded by pillows.

Handles like a car with really good cornering.

Mazda cuts corners with tech (especially) and cheaps out on some finishes to give you a 4-turbo and "soft touch" interior.

The small size is really nice for parking in tight spots, gas mileage and  making u-turns which I dreaded having to do in my F 150.

I owned a 2012 CX-9 for 5 years, and was quite impressed with its reliability, handling, and overall performance.

The CX-5s are comfortable, stylish inside and out, powerful when you need it, reliable, great on gas mileage, easy to handle.

It looks like it could handle any road conditions  without sacrificing a safe and  comfortable  ride.

This a great performing suv it really accelerates well and also handles well.

It handles like you wouldn't believe and is an incredibly smooth ride!

The handling is superb and the turn radius is phenomenal.

For the 2nd time in 10 months I have found a CX-5 GT Premium Pkg sold as "Certified pre-owned" with very low miles and a better-than-new warranty.

The safety features are like nothing I've ever seen, gentle warnings when a car gets too close to your side, a car in front of you brakes quickly, and when you're changing lanes

Love the leather interior and sunroof on the preferred package!

Mazda offers plenty of safety features which is nice,

We like the stability of the AWD, the safety features, the responsive steering and the seats.

but gained a multitude of safety features, gas usage reduction  and it is as much fun to drive as the Acura.

The CX-5 features starting getting on my nerves.

Not only is it stylish and fun to drive, it's safety ratings,  exterior and interior features give me a feeling of confidence.

Had the car for 4 days and so far, it has exceeded our expectations.so many safety features and entertainment options.

My 2019 and 2021 CX-5s have the all-around safety features.

Comparable in style, ride and comfort we were both shocked .

The interior with leather heated seats is so very comfortable.

It’s comfortable, reliable, stylish and overall a car I would drive for years to come.

The CX-5 Touring is recommended by Consumer Reports, is comfortable, quick and economical enough without the turbo engine.

The ride is comfortable, stable, and QUIET.

I bought the Signature trim which has the Napa leather interior, very comfortable and I love driving it.

It’s also easy to drive and comfortable.

The ride is excellent and it has a very quiet interior.

Although the interior has less bells and whistles then a CX-9 and is smaller it still has the perfect sporty feel.

The interior is upscale, the exterior is classier than the competition.

The BMW drives like a dream with a smoother transmission and ride, much better build quality, has a light interior with lots of lighting including ambient, a panoramic sunroof, and a bigger gas tank with better gas mileage.

Drives smooth, great pickup for the engine size, crisp interior, stylish exterior.

2021 Ford F-150

The buying process was easy with no pressure!

It handles highways and back roads great.

The vehicle met all my needs and exceeded them It handles more like a sports car  Handling is excellent Overall design is world class Its loaded with a lot of features  included also one of the safest vehciles I owned

With the towing and payload package upgrades, this truck will handle all of my needs, with plenty of reserve power.

The comfort and versatility are exceptional.

The seats are more comfortable than the 19.

Very comfortable to drive and great MPG for a 1&#47;2 ton truck.

I needed a comfortable ride with good towing capacity, navigation, and safety features.

Ery comfortable seat and great dash board disply with an 8 in screen .

Seats are comfy, has more than enough space in the vehicle, jas tons of power and drives smoothly.

I believe this truck will be more than I expected  It is comfortable.

Love the comfort and smooth ride
Lots of room inside, seats are to die for.

power

I like the spray on bed liner and pro power generator.

I had some issues with the optional POWER GENERATOR,..and apparently, it's now fixed!?

I’m getting 23 miles per gallon in every day driving and the power of the 3.5 liter Powerboost engine is quite impressive.

The power and off the line acceleration is remarkable.

Between the capability, MPG, power, luxuries, and style.

This truck has plenty of power and very reliable.

It has plenty of power
And looks as good as it runs

It's roomy and very comfortable with a nice smooth ride.

It has great pick-up, good gas mileage, and rides comfortably.

The ride is very comfortable and 10 speed shifts smoothly.

2021 Ford Escape

large-size

The Escape is more powerful, comfortably bigger, a bit plusher, better towing than the 2018 EcoSport I'm coming from.

but it's GOTTA go pass a semi while cars are coming on the freeway umph is just ok. Ford's co-poilt 1.0 system doesn't make me feel very safe I'm always fighting it compared to Mazda, Ford should ask for advice.

The app also displays lots of vehicle info, including tire pressure.

Not a fun thing on a sharp off-ramp curve.

Handling, interior space and exterior design are all notable pluses.

So you can turn on auto lights and auto high beams and never touch either again, ever.

It had all the standard features plus much more and the price was reasonable.

All of the features of the 360 package work as described, and the infotainment features are easy to navigate.

It has all the features that make it one A.I.

Great options and performance you won't believe.

Unfortunately Ford does not give you the option of choosing your default drive mode.

The SEL has many features that an older driver can use effectively (rear camera, cross traffic warn, lane keeping, back up warning, speed control, heated wheel, seats, remote start).

Beautiful car, very advanced safety features.

I like the safety features, especially the blind-spot monitor and the backup camera.

This car has a lot of nice features and it is
very comfortable and easy to adjust the seat..
