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.

noise

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.

phone

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.

brake

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

reliable

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.

function

The safety features have kept me clear of several potentially dangerous situations, and I am mostly pleased with how the systems function together.

ride

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.

comfortable

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.

mileage

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 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF

It’s very quick and I know it will be reliable.

The 181 HP is a definite upgrade from the 155 HP version I had in the 2018 model and overall, it is is smooth and quick in its function.

but even with that it is still the most fun I have ever had with a car.

It’s the most fun to drive of any car I have owned and it definitely turns heads.

2022 Honda Accord

but if I find a more comfortable car that's reliable, I'll probably jump ship.

I haven’t tried the Sport function yet, because it is fast and save Gas with Eco Drive right now.

It was comfy, quiet, yet not too complicated like a Caddy.

It is comfortable, decent gas mileage and very peppy.

However, if you're looking for a comfortable commuter, you might want to consider your options.

fuel

The 1.5 liter engine is great on gas and the Turbo provides ample power.

power

It has a lot of power, too, not just numbers

2021 Toyota Corolla

engine

Other than that the engine is smooth if not a little loud.

but for ease of recognition of engine status and use of controls the design is lacking compared to at least one other Japanese import.

This car handles well on the road with a smooth engine it has the basics for a safe car.The interior design needs improvement for example it doesn’t have pockets for the passengers.The sensors on the car are useless lane assist  works intermittently.

transmission

The transmission is rough when shifting out of launch gear to the CVT.

(not safe)

Transmission has a slight shudder similar to the terrible Fords issue, when you pull out and accelerate there is a delay.

Had a Ford Fiesta 2013 transmission absolutely garbage.

Problems already with transmission hard shift.

buttons hard to hit  dealership tells me I have to wait for a "repair bulliten" from Toyota to fix CVT problem apparently all of the CVTs 21 Corollas do the same thing I drove another 21' with Technition same thing clunky trans Teck heard it and felt it too.

Phone connection is awful and unusable, people on the other end can understand a word you say.

There's no included apps in the Infotainment system, and navigation is available only through Android and Apple Carplay.

Me being a teenager I may or may not use my phone while driving,

acceleration

The only flaws with the CH is that while the acceleration gets the job done around town, you will struggle to keep up at freeway speeds, even in power mode.

Overall, it’s a great sporty and reliable car with great fuel economy.

(incredibly reliable and fun to drive, I miss it sometimes).

Over all this car is very reliable and the suspension feels smooth.

Reliable vehicle built with comfort, great new looks, and loads of safety features.

It is reliable and the perfect fit for me!

This vehicle is very reliable and comfortable.

Reliable, nice looking, sporty, fuel efficient, and affordable.

I love how it drives, and I love how historically reliable the model is.

but needs improvement in function and on display.

Pros: Great ride and decent handling (SE), fuel economy, comfy interior, nice styling and I get compliments on it's looks (SE)

Cons: Inconsistent and clunky transmission, lumpy idle and very light steering.

Good points - Great, I mean great fuel economy (62  mpg), fun to drive, lane keep assist is a hoot, roomy for compact, reasonably deep trunk.

The Audi had all the same some stuff as my corolla that I wanted; lane keep assist, apple car play, adaptive cruise control, good fuel economy and a great price!

Everything from my 64 miles per gallon, to the tightness of the car, to the reliability, to the audio system, and to the price of it.

Well made,transmission first class very smooth,excellent gas mileage.

This car met all my nets, good price, good gas mileage, the right  size.

The Car I got meets all my needs, great on gas, pick up speed, enough room and great radio and one owner me.

Compact car really good for 4 people and the comfort level is good, car is very smooth.

Comfortable, attractive, very smooth ride, easy to handle and 
spacious for a compact with excellent visibility.

The handling and grip is surprisingly potent, yet doesn't sacrifice ride quality and comfort to achieve this.

I just got a 2021 L model and being the most basic trim level I am very surprised how smooth and comfortable it is to drive it.

The Corolla is an extremely comfortable ride.

Great styling
Comfortable to sit in and I am 6ft tall

feature

I like that the dashboard also gives you the option to view your speed digitally, and displays speed-limit signs, brighten or dim control lights &#47; LCD screen.

The value for the interior quality, safety features and of course.

And whenever you're inside, there's quite a good number of tech goodies that will keep you busy and informed.

Stereo is fabulous and the other amenities make it so fun to drive.

This car has plenty of leg room and is loaded with features.

I'm very pleased overall with the comfort , value of features, driving characteristics, and gas mileage.

2021 Kia Seltos

Also had to replace the Kumho tires with Michelin tires because the tire&#47;road noise was so bad and also there is no noise dampening material in the vehicle so we removed spare tire and Jack and lined with rubber and made it a little quieter.

Road noise is very noticeable and having a conversation with a passenger can be a bit difficult.

Cabin noise when driving on the highway is fairly loud,

This even after Techs from two different dealerships test drove and declared 1) "That is not right" (when he felt the vibration) and 2) described in his report to KIA as "Excessive Steering vibration".

but 95% of the time it is very good and on a windy day you get a little wind noise but not bad for its class, it has nice wide 235 tires with 18 inch rims and is not as quiet as my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland ha ha but it is almost half the price and I am retired now and 29,000 was a good price point for myself.

failure

We're actually considering trading the car off with less than 3000 miles, and we sure won't be going to the same dealership - they brushed off our concerns, screwed up paying off our trade in, and failed to give us what they promised.

sensor

I've had 3 issues with my 2021 seltos,  the first was when I was in Florida visiting my mom,  had approximately 3 thousand miles on it, the fuel light indicator was on, they said it was a fuel sensor,  took 3 weeks to fix, second time ,same fuel light indicator was on again,  had approximately 5 thousand miles on, had it towed to kia dealerships I purchased it from,  they said it was rodent damage and took another 3 weeks to fix, meanwhile neither time was I offered a loaner car or rental vehicle.

The only drawback I can truly say is the front collision sensor doesn't work too well when driving in heavy snow or slush.

Reliable, comfortable, fun, stylish and not outrageous in cost!

I am so blessed to have such a safe, comfortable, reliable, and a beautiful car!

Car all and beyond very reliable transportation and most of all space room to travel shopping sports gear with the children games and there team

And AWD is very  dependable and  V G traction so far in Mn. Winter.

For only being a week old it seems to be a reliable car and a safe car for me and my family.

It has so many features economical dependable .

We have owned SPORTAGES, and SORRENTOS in the past, and if the SELTOS proves to be as reliable as those were we will be extremely pleased.

Great value for the price very comfortable and reliable car previously bought a new soul which I still have 10 years later with no issues

So many great features and safety functions.

overall interior design and functions are logically laid out and easy to use.

Other than those, I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a small SUV with power, comfort and safety.

AWD standard in the lower model plenty of visibility and confortable on long drives .

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

SMALL ENGINE BUT REALLY COMFORTABLE INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL VERSION OF THE RANGE ROVER.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

Also, because of the safety features, my insurance drop like a stone!! !

Great vehicle, no complaint, best warranty out there,good performance, nice features, safety ,compact color selection  are nice,interior nice features, exterior is great,handed great,  great on gas. .100%recommended

I do enjoy the safety features it provides which I have never had in previous vehicles.

Also went with S-AWD model to get safety features and heated seats.

Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver.

but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

It has all the safety features and amenities I wanted and needed.

but not too big, tons of safety features and I love the look of it.

The trim package has the features I want.

but felt the new styling and mileage made up for those comforts but als picked up some new features such as the automatic cruise control,auto headlights and remote start.So far very impressed with the new Seltos

room

It has plenty of room for myself and my husband who are average size.

Plenty of legroom for a small CUV good power in the non turbo version and alot of cargo room for a small vehicle .

but this is a game changer so easy to handle and the space is wonderful this definitely changed my mind

Perfect for traveling with my family and has plenty of room for all of my grandbabies stuff.

Plenty of upfront room for me which was hard to find coming from a roomy 09 Pilot!

I'm Surprise it has allot of Leg Space as for general it's not the biggest Interior space

2021 Honda Pilot

The only feature on this vehicle I do not like is that automatic collision control is literally slams on the brakes when you come up on a vehicle and then it hesitates to accelerate.

If you want to continue with normal idle at a stop, you have to keep a light foot on the break.

Average with horrible transmission going down steep hills, slow acceleration.

Good size excelente engine confortable y reliable brand.

but holistically a good reliable vehicle.

It's a reliable car with lots of room and 8 seats.

Very roomy vehicle, my entire family of 6 fit comfortable with room to spare ,very quiet and awesome to drive , very reliable, great radio sound and seats

EASIER ACCESS ON APPLE CAR PLAY FEATURES, GARMIN NAV SYSTEM IS QUICKER TO UPLOAD, MORE ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE IN 2021 TO OUTFIT BLACK EDITION, AND MORE RELIABLE TO DRIVE

Reliable, roomy, easy to drive and last for a long time.

Smooth SUV reliable, in terms of security not even Mercedes or BMW go this far.

The looks outside speaks of the function inside.

I drove from Brownsville, TX to El Paso, TX and let me tell you it was smooth and very comfortable plus it was very economical on gas.

Inside is nicely apportioned, comfortable leather seats.

but with all the comforts and bells and whistles of a luxury vehicle.

My whole family loves the space and comfort.

This car is so roomy, comfortable, sporty looking, and my kids and I are in "heaven" with all of the USB ports and drink holders.

The 2021 Pilot is very impressive with much improved ride comfort, engine response, safety technology and roominess.

My lab and yorkie have plenty of space and i absolutely feel like I am driving a sedan still with how smooth and tight and sporty it drives.

I have four children and I needed all this space it has.

In general, the car has plenty of room in between seats, also added up some new good features,

It does have a lot of room when you put down the seat.

In fact, it makes us feel like we're in some space vehicle of the future.

My kids absolutely love the entertainment system & having more room for them.

Second row had enough space for 2 car seats and for an adult comfortably.

but liked the bigger engine and more interior space of the Pilot.

family

I personally do not get the soccer mom feel like some people do I really think you need to try this, go drive it and you will see for yourself.

but yet compact vehicle that my wife and my teenagers were able to drive too at a glance I was not to thrill for it but when my whole family stated how spacious it was, well it started growing on me.

The Tourning Trim has everything my family needs.

Spacious for 3 kids --two rows allows us to also transport grandparents or friends.

We love the indoor shade things on the back windows for the kids while traveling, the voice-activated phone system so I don't have to touch my phone, the sunroof with a cover, the camera system while backing up, plenty of power, the blind-spot notification, and the nice comfortable ride.

Looking forward for many years as it sees our family grow.

We have plenty of room now that are family is growing!

2021 Subaru Outback

Then they have the motor shutoff for when we stop at stop signs - we can only disable it right after we start the car every time.

The engine shut off is about gotten me hit twice when I was nearly clipped in intersections.

For the most part I really like the car has a couple things about it I don't like I don't like the thing to shut the engine off every time you stop personally I don't use the cruise control where it'll drive itself and I get mad at it sometimes when it talks to me tells me to keep my eyes on the road

Only regret is not having the Turbo engine because it can be a little sluggish getting away from traffic lights.

But when it comes to an emergency, the 4 cylinder engine will fail you every time.

As many others have pointed out, the mileage has never been close to what is advertised, and the engine start&#47;stop is very rough.

I HATE the jerkiness of how the engine restarts at stop lights.

engine should shut off when stopped at proper setting

The engine shut down/stert up is abrupt as it says in many reviews, acceleration and shifting isn’t as smooth as the civic with a CVT,

I really hate the automatic engine shut off.

Coming from a VW Golf Alltrack - a lifted AWD wagon just a bit smaller - the steering is nowhere as quick, the mileage is not as good and the transmission is nowhere near as responsive as the DSG in the Golf.

Was prepared to be disappointed with the CVT transmission

The single biggest issue is the standard engine&#47;transmission package.

The seat belt buzzer goes off immediately when you start the car so even if you're just rolling your car into your garage have to put up with that blurring noise.
