2021 Hyundai Palisade

noise

I know others noted ‘wind whistle’ window noise

As the  milige climbs so does the air noise.

The “hum” noise from the vibration is embarrassing.

I was surprised to see the KBB Expert Review note some wind noise.

It has a lot if wind noise inside that should have fixed before 2021 model came out.

paint

The lane departure is not the best when traveling unmarked painted roads.

Also, paint we paid extra for is coming off an edge of a door (without being hit or anything).

The paint came off more with only gentle rubbings.

ride

Ride quality is smooth and quiet (measured 55 dB sound at 65MPH).

It is spacious, with excellent ride quality, performance, looks outside and inside.

The ride is amazing
The 3.8 lambda is plenty of power 
The gas mileage has been over 20
3rd row seating 
Family size luxury for under 50k

Love the look, smooth ride, interior roominess.

Love the look, the ride, the roomy interior.

It rides as smooth as  any luxury vehicle .

I love the style along with a great ride .

Rides better than our Honda Pilot and much better gas mileage so far ( 26 -27 MPG).

The Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD has exceeded our expectations with its ride, comfort and Technology.

I have never driven a vehicle as smooth riding and driving as this Palisade.

steering

The steering wheel controls are all easy to memorize what each one does.

The steering assistance and safety features are the best we found.

feature

Nighttime driving features some of the best LED projector headlights for astounding visibility.

Especially when you add an aftermarket Remote starter and hitching package.

There are many safety features which is top priority for our family .

Overall fits the size of our family without feeling like a “mom van.” We are very happy with the value and love the nature sound feature to calm the kids and the lighting options for late night drives.

Wanted a SUV with the latest safety features, good ride, good gas mileage and adequate room in the interior.

The Palisade is the best SUV on the market based on its features, comfort and affordability.

Once I remembered that leasing was an option, I test drove it and fell in love.

Overall, very pleased with many features yet to explore.

but this Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy model meets or exceeds all the luxury brand features for so much less money.

comfortable

Best bet for hauling around six or more adults in comfort.

Leather seats are extremely comfortable for driver and all passengers.

Comfort, leg room, seats, USB ports you name it this vehicle has it all.

We each had specific desires on performance and comfort - and the Palisade came out on top in comfort, interior and exterior aesthetics and overall safety features and performance.

This auto meets all my comfort requirements .

Coming from a more established luxury brand SUV, it was a welcome sight to see the Palisade match and in some cases exceed the other brand for luxury, technology, comfort and style.

safety

Safety and style was a important part of our purchase and Hyundai hit a home run with the Palisade Calligraphy.

This vehicle meets ALL my wants and needs of styling, comfort, performance, safety features, warranty and Value for my money spent.

Powerful engine lots of safety feature and good manufacturer warranty

Overall it has a sporty exterior, sleek interior, a ton of safety features and is fun to drive.

This helps a lot, along with the other safety features.

2021 Mazda CX-5

transmission

Feels like the motor is winding while the transmission waits too long to up-shift.

I also find the engine noisy under acceleration with transmission shift hesitancy and roar.

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

The main problem is the automatic transmission.

but the transmission .it some times shifts hard .

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

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.

tire

My only complaint would be the budget tires they use.

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

Wind noise while driving with windows down very irritable, Gas mileable ok

but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further.

Rides and handles as well as our BMW 3 series and reminds me of an RX-7 I had a long time ago.

At a glance, it’s very polished and riding around in it is plenty comfortable and seems luxurious.

The ride is very comfortable and the turbo provides enough power to be taken seriously on the highway when merging or passing.

Love the quiet ride and infotainment system, easier and safer than a touch screen.

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

The power is fantastic, the ride is soooo much smoother , and the build quality is in a different universe from the GMC.

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.

It is a smooth ride, very quiet, and runs great!

The ride is comfortable, stable, and QUIET.

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

I love to power into corners and feel the rear-wheel steering adjustment improve the tracking is wonderful.

Everyone loves steering, I find it uninspiring and steering wheel to thin.

The steering wheel can be set for comfort by pulling it out or pushing it in or moving it up or down.

New additions are automatic folding outside mirrors, cooling seats, larger display, Android Auto, Apple Play, Bose stereo system, heated steering wheel & seats, and so many other safety features.

I’m absolutely loving my cx-5, there are so many safety features and it’s purely luxury

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

but also tilts side to side, making selecting options easier than a touch screen.

The high tech features are a continuing irritation.

Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features.

This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I really like the cylinder cut-off feature.

I purchased this vehicle mostly based on its safety features,

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

The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Comfortable, packed with tech & safety and stylish.

but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

interior

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

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

The interior seems plush and refined compared to other models

It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market.

I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

Looks very classy and I love the interior of the CX5.

The interior design is very luxurious for a car that is inexpensive.

2021 Nissan Rogue

I've read one reviewer said the Rogue was very slow in horsepower with 181 horsepower does a well job to me as with the (CVT) Continuously Variable Transmission is smooth probably better from my old Murano.

It's not reliable, it's been in the service department twice for transmission problems.

Transmission CVT not good  most Nissan car now have Cvt not reliable.

There is a LOT of wind&#47; road noise T 60mph.

but with some annoying problems:
- Shaking / vibrating when driving or accelerating slowly.

Monitor not working, no radio, gps iPhone connect charging backup cameras, weird noise, flashing Nissan logo, it’s been 2 months, they cannot find the part anywhere!

Ride is OK except for bumps and pot holes.

No more aching behind or restricted blood flow on longer rides.

but my 2018 rouge had more features than this and the ride was 90&#37; better.

The ride is smooth for a mid priced SUV and comfortable to drive.

The ride is smoother and more quiet as well!

Meets our needs comfortable  stylish love the interior and the ride is super cool.

The technology is amazing and the car rides so smoothly.

All the "bells and whistles" needed to enjoy a comfortable ride from here to there.

Steering controls are impressive to me I am age 68 needed something like the Rogue perfect car for my age very affordable and comfortable to drive around or long trips taking since retired person.

The heated seats and steering wheel are so nice.

Love the heated seats and steering wheel.

Has all the bells and whistles I wanted in a car in Northeast Wisconsin - can't beat the heated seats and steering wheel!

I like the look of the new Rouge and it does have nice features

I have to say that the 2021 Rogue SL, with the premium package is my best leased Nissan yet.

- Stop hold feature: I love the idea, as I have knee problems and it releases tension in my right knee,

Very good , well thought out features and roomier that previous models.

All the features and comfort makes driving a pleasure.

Plus all the other great features the Rogue has.

It full film my requirements and features that I need to drive safe and comfort , on the road make me happy an like it

She especially enjoys the sun roof which is a very nice feature on the car.

It’s comfortable, looks great inside and out, handles great, and I haven’t had any issues so far.

Very spacious and much more comfortable with lots of power.

OMG, they are so comfortable and the back seats are a little bit higher and I love that too.

Very quiet and comfortable and I get about 33 MPG commuting to the office and back.

Interior quality is a lot better than the competitors I checked out and took for a test drive.

Love the exterior and most of all the interior!

The exterior is beautiful and the interior is so luxurious without the luxurious price tag.

It’s a good looking car inside and out.

Rogue with Platinum trim (top of the line) is beautiful inside and out.

2021 Kia K5

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

After a month of owning my k5 EX the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is the terrible wind and road noise that comes into the cabin.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

lights

2400 miles in and it already needs to go in for an engine diagnostic on 8/6/21; stopped at a red light and the car had NO pickup/power and RPM’s were pegged at 4500-5000 when I took off from the red light; lights started flashing on the dashboard, etc.

With LESS THAN 300 MILES and after owning for only 3 weeks the engine light came on and the car started shaking violently.

the door handles light up as you approach the vehicle, the smart trunk opens automatically when you stand in front of the trunk, the front collision detector sounds if you're getting to close to the vehicle in front of you.

My engine light came on and it turn out to be a faulty ERG valve.

The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day.

Car is great, however; driver headlight veers off to left with a distinct V shape that is void of light and light isn't adjustable.Dealer is trying to resolve,

A few cons to the car, the approach lights in the door handle could be a little brighter.

I found them to be very uncomfortable, "like riding a lumber wagon" was the way I put it to my wife.

Extremely smooth handling, comfortable ride.

the overall ride and how quiet it is has plenty of power and the interior is stylish and comfortable and it has plenty of cool tech

Sporty look with good pickup, rides smooth.

Comfortable ride, great styling, no hard connection for phone to car

You get so many gadgets, a great look, a smooth responsive ride, lots of storage (golf bag with a push cart fit easily), and a quick enough  acceleration with 30+ MPG.

I ended up getting all the bells and whistes including the GT package with the racing seats, steering wheel, rims, moon roof, stereo, heated and cooling seats and steering wheel and more!!

Big improvement with turbo, trans, steering.

The heated steering wheel is awesome as well.

The technology is this car is amazing, I literally had the car drive me home from work using the steering and lane assist.

My favorite is the panoramic sun roof😀 total power seats heated seats and steering wheel .

The steering wheel is a nice size and thickness with a nice smooth leather surface.

This can is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than my Honda Accord or my BMW 528i.

Seats are comfortable and with all these great sides it costs relatively low which makes it perfect for my first car in my life.

It has the comfort and gas efficiency of a nice family car

I have the GT line and I love it it’s a fun sexy comfortable vehicle very good on gas and everywhere I go people always complement me I did a few changes

It’s a beautiful car that’s fun to drive, comfortable and gorgeous inside and out

I went with the sapphire blue.. Looks badass and the interior is sweet with comfortable leather seats and an IPad-sized display screen.

The car met all my needs, it’s smooth, has all the features that I need, big trunk, comfortable and has really surprisingly big leg room

This vehicle is well worth owning for the price and standard features.

The console is great has so many goodies not sure how to use them all yet.

Overall, as I rated it all 5 stars for the 6 features above, and it is definitely very well worth it, & I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a brand new Kia.

The Kia K5 is everything I wanted in a car it meets all of my needs and is so comfortable,it has so may options that have exceeded my expectations.

but my first Kia, decided on this when I saw their new K5 (formerly known as optima) when I test drove it I fell in love and this car has more features and more comfort as well as better looking over all than the competition

It has so many safety features that really sold me.

If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5!

The only thing I haven't been happy with is the type of material used in the interior it collects EVERYTHING!!

but that was for me I change my emblemsAnd I change the color of my interior I love this vehicle I recommend anybody to Lee’s go test drive this car I promise you you’re gonna want to leave out the car lot with it

Major upgrade with the interior and design.

I have been enjoying the sunroof and beautiful interior!

I love this car overall great  time with it mine is blue with black inside

2021 Ford Bronco Sport

I do have two small complaints, the engine will rattle a little on idle and the visors are a little too big.

The front seats are not comfortable, no leg room on the back seat, lacy of cargo space, ride is noisy, inside is cheap plastic, hood rattles while driving, lack of power and smoothness, auto stop feature is anything

When I reverse in the morning it makes this loud hard noise which was scary at first.

Bought the Bronco Sport and within a week I noticed some strange creaks and rattles.

there is a light rattle and some oil or fluid may be leaking from the engine/transmission area.

Have an escape that is  not making the noise when I back up and turn out of my driveway.

Car ride good for 3 cyl engine is a gas saver with power the only problem is going above 45 mph it has a wind sound in the rear window that even dealer ship can’t find what’s the problem, waiting for Ford to see what’s wrong with that noise.

Now I hear this rubbing noise in the back like a howling  could it be the rear breaks?

There was a very obvious rattle under heavy bass.

Long story short, had to have the entire transmission replaced and while the noises became more subtle/quieter they still existed.

Another 22 days for the transmission to be replaced.

7998 miles on a 2021 big bend Branco and stuck transmission will not shift rotates shift knob by itself from drive to park stranded on vacation.

Edit: The transmission calibration was significantly better than in the Escape.

I’m still discovering little “bells and whistles” everyday that I didn’t realize I wanted or needed (like auto sensing on/off of high beams).

During an errand,  my wife was unable to start the Bronco warning lights flashing and alerts being generated and the parking light was flashing on the shift knob.

Warning lights go off every-time I drive it.

Another thing happen that alarmed me, my lights inside/outside all came on & stayed on & then I was not able to turn it off with the key fob, I had to put the key in the ignition to get the car to turn off the lights.

I had it for 1 week the low oil pressure light came on.

I’m really not used to this and it feels kinda rough when it re-starts after shutting off for the light.
