2023 Kia Seltos

reliable

KIA was picked as JD POWER"S #1 most reliable car brand for 2022.

heat/air-control

Nicely finished and all controls very intuitive-they put it together well so far as for materials and design.

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.

engine

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 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.

noise

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.

In summary, if this vehicle stays as reliable and enjoyable in years to come, Hyundai has won a new fan! !

However I tend to keep my cars for over 15 years so it has to be reliable .

It’s really easy because the controls are easy to see and understand.

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

Missing some controls for music unless you’ve mastered voice control.

The Hyundai is kinda half way there with the lane control and collision avoidance.

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

After an initial control module failure and waiting for the repair part, all has been outstanding with the Tucson.

The acceleration is effortless and I enjoy the dynamic cruise control.

Blue's Infotainment and A&#47;C also have physical controls, not only touch sensitive.

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

ride

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 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.

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.

The RAV4 is the most reliable car I've ever had

It suits its purpose as a commuter rig due to high gas prices and it will hopefully be reliable since it is a Toyota.

One of the most reliable and popular sedans that is sold today, still.

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

Controls are user friendly and rear cargo space is Hugemongeous!

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

Radar speed control, lane assist, safety system and dozens of other toys.

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.

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

Cons:
Has zero power especially when navigating an incline.

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.

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

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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

2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

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.

Can’t say enough good things about the dynamic cruise control- takes a lot if stress out of driving.

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.

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

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

power

The 2022 has finally power passenger seats.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime

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

Comfortable interior and best of all gets around 100 mpg.

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

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 Santa Fe

small-size

Within months my small town dealership has had four 2022 Santa Fe's with brake problems.

My only complaint (very small one) is the auto hatch release only works if you use the key fob, door handle lock, or digital key on your smartphone to lock the car.

lights

We learned early on that a front seat passenger can not use a seat pad and have the passenger seat air bag light go off.

This was due to the car burning through half of its oil in a day without any warning lights, without any leaks, and without any suggestion that anything was wrong.

It gets great gas mileage and it is very reliable.

All the controls are user friendly and well thought out.

The "Smart Cruise Control" uses brakes to control the speed you set and the distance to the car in front of you.

I also really like the Lane Keep Assist feature with the adaptive cruise control.

The layout of the controls in the Santa Fe are the best I have ever seen and far superior to the single screen in the the Tesla.

turbo

We bought a 2020 Santa fe and traded it in for a 2022 Hyunda santa fe limited 2.5 turbo best in the world.

This is the 2.5 turbo, 8 gears, very efficient and smooth shifting, and surprisingly powerful when you need to step on it to go quickly.

I took the car on my first road trip this past weekend and I love the passing power of the turbo charged engine on the highway.

Drives much like the BMW without the turbo lag the 330 had.

The Santa Fe’s turbo engine and 8 speed DCT transmission make it a joy to drive.

The XRT is my 3rd Santa Fe an has great look to it with blacked out grill,side steps an black wheels only have it 2 weeks an getting compliment's notice it seems quicker with the 2.5 engine .

As far as comfort is concerned, we have been happy with the ride and handling.

This has everything you could want on a SUV, we are retired and were looking for something with good gas mileage and a very comfortable ride.

2022 Ford Maverick

audio-system

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..

port

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.

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.

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

Verdict: 
It's built worse than a Jeep Wranger, and no where near as fun to own.. 
Do yourself a favor, if you want a reliable hybrid, buy a prius.

Buttons and knobs (and keys) control most everything!

I've taken it on gravel drives, through mud and sand, and even on some icy roads during the waning winter months, and I personally have never felt quite as confidently "in control" as I do in this truck.

but found that with better tires, Michelin Cross Climates, the FWD worked well on snow and ice.

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.

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

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 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

I used to have a 2012 Kia Soul that I also really enjoyed and wanted another Kia because they're so reliable!

My trim level is the EX and it includes most of the safety features except for the one I use most often, which is what other manufacturers call Adaptive Cruise Control.

I left the vehicle in “Eco” mode, the battery was charged up, and I left the smart cruise control on at 70 for pretty much the entire trip.

I love the safety features -active lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, active assist braking, collision monitoring and more- and the 360 degree cameras are a great feature when getting in or out of tight spaces.

It rides nice ,we have had 2 trips in it that were over 1000 miles.

It’s spacious, safe, smooth ride, great gas mileage.

The ride quality is good and overall quality is quite good.

Excellent ride and handling with very quiet cabin.

The ride quality is immaculate to other competitors at this price point.

My step dad has the 2020 I have driven before and always liked how smooth the ride was,

This car is very comfortable and quiet both of which are very important to me plus great pick up when needed.

But the comfort of this car is wildly insane.

Inside is very comfortable and well thought out!

It’s so fun to drive and the seats are super comfortable for trips.

The 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty gives me comfort, as does the bumper to bumper 60k warranty.

Very comfortable and roomy (even the third row if you’re a kid!

But the driving mileage is why I got this one.

I routinely achieve 4o MPG or better over local roads.

On the positive side:  It drives beautifully smooth, does get good mileage

The mileage is good for an AWD, at 22 city and 27 highway.

2022 Toyota Corolla

Then there is the car-play entertainment system, if you don't have your phone plugged into a special jack it doesn't work, with your phone, and cable.
