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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

quality

Gas mileage (Measured by fill up) was 23.5 miles per gallon on a 360 mile round trip and the trip computer showed 27.6 mpg's Build quality seems okay

If you switching from Kia,Hunday, or Subaru - you might like what CX50 has to offer BUT if you look at Acura, Lexus, BMW build quality - CX50 is truly FAR behind!

buttons and excellent tactile feel, quality materials and thick leather, beautiful, low, wide stance, it’s an amazing car to drive.

wheel

A note on the steering wheel, it feels fantastic.

The sand was unusually thick, so cars without AWD or 4 wheel drive we’re not able to enter the beach.

engine

The base engine is more than enough in city and highway driving.

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

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.

2023 Kia Seltos

As far as exterior and interior styling, I'm very pleased with the quality of the interior as well as the great touch points and an overall ergonomic design.

the plate frame and center hub rings on the wheels.

comfortable

I have a spinal injury and I find the seats and suspension to be very comfortable even over longer drives, and when you use the driver assist features even longer trips aren't as tiring.

With the turbo motor it has very good acceleration and decent gas mileage.

The engine puts out plenty of HP and torque to make the car responsive and it's quick which is very important when merging onto highways or general overtaking.

feature

2022 Acura MDX

battery

I ended up disconnecting the battery to do a hard reset and it seemed to work fine after that.

Nothing would get it to open again except disconnecting the battery and trying again.

noise

Aspec, SH-AWD: Engine is powerful enough to move the heavy SUV without problem
The transmission is doing well, especially after second gear; No gear changing feeling
Cabin is not on the quite or noisy side.

but it controls engine and wind noise so well that you hear a lot of droning tire noise which gets annoying.

Road noise and engine noise is also a bit louder that my Lexus.

The auto engine shut off is extremely annoying.

So it is Okay
Interior material  quality is very good and looks decent.

I purchased A-spec package, overall the build quality is top notch.

We love the quality and dependability that Honda&#47;Acura provides and 2 months-  5,000 miles into this car still holds true.

I think the overall refinement and material quality (not nearly as much black plastic) in the Volvo is better

Honda\Acura quality has really gone downhill and they are just banking on making people buy this for the flashy new looks and digital instrument cluster.

I'm glad I purchased it and love the ride Quality.

For &#36;62K the Advance package has even unusual extras like HUD, heated steering wheel,  driver-side seat memory, stay-in-lane-assist, 360 camera, panoramic sun-roof etc.

interior

The interior is comfortable with great seats,

All the comfort and tech features work as advertised, the style and the interior 3 rows of seats are great.

The interior (with the exception of all the piano gloss black trim is stellar).

Interior mood lights pretty cool and the headlights and fogs are very bright.

The exterior and interior design is so slick and sexy.

It drives like a dream and is a beautiful car, inside and out.

I went back in time when I opened the door to see the spacious interior.

The seats are insanely comfortable, excellent for highway cruising or around town.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

Cabin is very quiet, comfortable ride, and tech is great for the segment.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

The car ticks all my wants for technology and comfort.

Very comfortable, Good looking, handles well for a large car, glad I got the SH all wheel drive as it improves cornering substantially.

The car is comfortable and the technology package is impressive.

ride

The ride is super smooth and reasonably quiet.

We were looking for a while ,we like the look and ride of this car technology is great!

The third row is big enough for children, or smaller adults could easily ride back there for short distances.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

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.

Quality seems to be very good, typical Toyota high standards.

It's as if you're in your living room enjoying quality music while driving.

The heated steering wheel and heated seats are also nice for the cold climate.

Oh, and sweet, black, 18 inch wheels too.

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.

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.

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).

power

The 2022 has finally power passenger seats.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

phone

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

radio

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

Also, I am a musician, so I appreciate good audio quality.

Otherwise it is very comfortable and has a nice ride quality.

The added bonus of Michelin tires probably helps the ride quality as well.

It has the infotainment system with some control knobs and the hybrid is all wheel drive with a six speed automatic.

I can't believe how much I love my Tucson Hybrid, and here is something they don't talk about- the base "Blue" model comes with volume and temperature control 'knobs' (actually levers and wheels

I am really enjoying my new  Hyundai Tucson SE front wheel drive, it is so smooth on the road and really comfortable.

The car felt very stable cornering (sends power to rear wheels when cornering) even fully loaded.

The vehicle handles well with the front wheel drive.

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

2022 Toyota RAV4

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

Super comfortable--and the mileage can't be beat.

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 .

I could not be happier with the fuel mileage.

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

room

We love that the RAV4 LE has more ground clearance and head room than our Taurus.

The cargo space is sufficient and the controls are easy to use.

It feels great, it fits tall people well (I am 6'0") and I have PLENTY of room!

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

The sporty body kit was put on with Elmer’s glue and side skirts can fall off at highways speeds and the hood rattles so severely it looks like it may be popped

The interior is dope 👌 and despite having a few hiccups with rattling in the door panels after blarring the 9 speaker 1 sub bose system; i really enjoy the infotainment system.

The hood has a manufacturer's defect, at speeds over 60 miles or if it's windy it bounces and shakes as if it's going to fly off, Mitsubishi's offer to fix it, is by replacing the hood with a new part that has to be painted in a local body shop  this will compromise the integrity of a car, as it's not an original paint anymore and therefor devalues the car, this is considered a lemon and under the Lemon Law Mitsubishi should take the car back and fully refund the buyer.

So many electrical issues, suspension and steering noises, wind noise, hood flutter, stereo problems, cameras problems, power window problems, and Mitsubishi is unable to fix any issue, we’ve been dealing with this since August 2021.

After two three months of purchase the unit began a noise in the internal back as if it were an old car.

Another reviewer said something about the hood vibration.

Electrical issue 
Door panel coming off 
Suspension noise
Stop on middle of the road

Only issue we have ran into with the vehicle thus far is the rattling&#47;moving hood while on highways.

Like the previous review about the hood vibrating at high speeds, took it to the dealership and already had the rubber cushioning correcting kit to fix the issue.

Yes the hood shakes a little when driving at faster speeds

I did find it seemed to be underpowered coming off ramps to merge at highway speeds, again it's just fine in normal mode, or Sport (Tarmac).

If you don't drive at highway speeds and you live where the wind never exceeds 15 miles per hour you'll be in love with this car.

It sounds like a window is cracked open and tons of road noise.

The infotainment system would freeze and call people at random.

Would be an even more impressive vehicle if it had an AUX plug for audio devices to be hooked up to stereo system.

but there is NOTHING whatsoever "premium" about this stereo.

camera

This car is like a space shuttle, with all the high-tech features, such as the huge touchscreen monitor on the dash, all the camera assists, drive modes, mi-pilot assist, blind spot detection and even just the way you switch it from park to drive&#47;reverse.

failure

App is unreliable,doesn't always start car, sometimes will indicate it has failed, yet car started.

but the car should be recalled, and the audio system repaired.

Everything under hood is now Nissan and that’s why the quality and capability is horrendous.

Style, quality, tech and value are why I bought it.

Floor board wheels are so high it's hard for an older person to lift their leg that high to get in without falling.

Lane assist was on point too, turned it on, kept hands close to the wheel, and it kept me in my lane.

No bad cvt transmission, almost drive like automatic transmission , big wheels filling more the ride

fuel

Gas milage around 30mpg, interior is beautiful and ride is Great.

After buying the car I had to go on the road trip for work and was very happy with the 30.7 miles per gallon I got with cruise control set around 72 miles an hour on mostly flat highway.

I’m honestly very happy and I love that it doesn’t waste gas.

I’ve put close to 7k on my white diamond black edition outlander, runs very smooth on road handles corners like a pro.It has a very stylish look turns heads everywhere I go, and does really great on gas if you don’t let your lead foot take over.I really love this vehicle and highly recommend it.

Keep in mind it has a very small gas tank so fill-ups will be fairly regular on long distances.

Purchased this vehicle with great gas mileage.

In these modes it does a great "giddy up go", and can accelerate impressively, with a deduction in your fuel (from the instant fuel gauge monitoring).

but great for city living with great gas mileage and really great space with all seats down.

This car is very fuel efficient, I been doing an average of 29-32 MPG which is quite similar to my last fuel efficient mirage .

I truly love this car it rides so smooth and the steering is awesome.

it has a smooth ride and technology in this vehicle is awesome.

though the Outlander is a comfortable vehicle to drive, we drove it from Atlanta to Orlando and the ride was enjoyable.

To get everything you want on this ride, in the colors you want is a needle in a haystack.

The handling is good and responsive and the ride is smooth

It rides Smoothly on the local streets and highway, new luxury updates on the outside and inside, larger than my previous 2020 Outlander, loaded with features such as kick feature trunk release, infotainment system, several drive conditions selections,  panoramic moon roof, 3rd row of seating, 360 and birds eye view cameras, so many safety features to mention.

My outlander sel drives nice and comfortable cabin with luxury very resonable price and not bad for price I recommend buying outlander did take notice hood shakes
