2022 Subaru Outback

transmission

The cvt transmission is awful, sucking the life out of the engine.

The Wilderness is quicker off the line, faster overall, with much smoother shifts from the revised transmission, with little body roll compromise when cornering at speed.

The CVT transmission is the worst ever - jumpy, jerky, and unable to match power requirements to transmission gearing.

seat

With the touring trim, you also get a hands-free liftgate, napa leather, and air-conditioned front seats.

While the Outback is very comfortable with nice seating, it has some major flaws.

The seats are really comfortable, and the car is spacious.

On the plus side - very comfortable seats, nice ride, nice interior.

engine

You can accelerate to about 20mph, at which point the cvt goes to its highest gear and bogs the engine, putting a stop to acceleration.

The engine is well positioned (horizontal boxer engine) it keeps the car grounded.

More power than my six cylinder 2019 Outback.

The 2.4 turbo engine is noisy and rough-sounding, and only smooth at highway speed.

mileage

Give it more gas and the process repeats at 35 mph.

The highest mpg I have gotten, including extensive highway driving, is 20.2 mpg.

fuel

Like the idea not spending time at the gas stations.

The Rav4 Prime can really move with excellent fuel efficacy,

Basically I love everything about the car with the exception of the gas mileage.

comfortable

With three, it is a little less comfortable,

2021 Honda Civic

Nice leather seats and heated. Overall good review :)

Nice heated seats and a cool side view mirror camera.

Comfortable seats and a nice interior design.

Small turbo engine for performance pick up.

Good quality car that also has a turbo engine.

Plenty of performance being a small turbo engine.

Turbo engine is a nice feeling to have since it's my first one.

And a awesome turbo engine that gets up and goes.

Nice performance the car has being a small turbo engine.

The car has a nice performance kick being a small turbo engine.

We like the performance it has for being a small turbo engine.

I, bought this car just to get good gas mileage and to have a nice car that is low maintenance cost.

It's a fun car to drive being a small turbo type of car.

Nice stereo system with apple car play to enjoy the music.

Definitely affordable and it's a fun car to drive.

This car is fantastic and it's been fun driving it.

These cars are alot of fun driving around.

2021 Mazda CX-5

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.

noise

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.

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

The seat bottom cushions could be longer.

It’s large enough for an infant car seat, and can hold quite a bit with the seats laid flat.

but my friends all think the seats function great from their perspectives.

Turn out it had the same seats as the other and the signature had upgraded seats.

great handlng ,good safety features,beautiful red color,quick,smallish back seat,fair fuel economy

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

This engine really rewards you for smooth throttle input on the highway.

Turbo engine is nice and I am getting about 27 MPG, mostly highway.

Aside from that, the engine (Touring) is slightly under-powered, and the braking is substantially under-powered.

The turbo charged engine is only available on the upper trims pushing $38-40,000, and the Carbon edition with an MSRP of about $33,000.

Thinking that my old BMW could have potential engine problems, I traded it for the CX-5 signature thinking that is was a good choice and great value for all the features.

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

Love the CX5, and now with the Turbo engine, it definitely has the Zoom-Zoom factor.

The CX-5 has plenty of power with the standard engine.

feature

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,

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

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

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

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 Subaru Crosstrek

audio-system

but it doesn’t open)
2) too many notification lights &#38; sounds (distracting to me when driving or just sitting in car running.

Over the past 8 months I have experienced many issues with the infotainment system.

Audio system a little disappointing - poor reception on AM.

windshield

even though I owned the car for less than a month, I already got a windshield crack from a rock on the highway!

4) No back seat charging or air vents
5) Remote start is on my phone not the key.

There's plenty of leg room for passengers in the backseat  I got to test out how well the awd and 2 x modes  this past winter when we had 2 feet of snow and I was impressed.

All I got was the manual transmission, and the heated seats.

The power drive seat is a new, welcomed addition, as is the upgraded 2.5L Boxer.

This car is everything I was looking for,style,features, especially safety features, comfort for seating, legroom, roof racks for my kayak, beautiful to drive and so smooth, excellent gas mileage

Head rest tilts forward making it impossible to rest your whole body straight in the chair.

This car fits all my needs love the leather heated seats and sunroof.

I like everything it has especially the adjustment seat level.

The seats are slightly different feel than the other models and the water repellent material is a great touch.

There are no markings in the engine bay the Limited has a 2.5L engine and the service department generally did not know there is a 2.5L option in the two models of 2021 Crosstrek, the Sport and Limited models.

Enough grunt and engine doesn't become frantic like the 2.0 liter.

My car is very comfortable and has suprising amount of power for a 4 cylinder.

Plenty of leg room and engine has plenty of power.

I got the 2.0L engine, and I feel the power is enough since I'm not looking for a race car.

I'm glad I purchased the Sport for the 2.5 motor.

With the new 2.5 L engine and the Subaru Cross Trek  Sport.

This is the lowest model with a 2.5 liter engine, which is very smooth and delivers a good amount of power.

With the 2.5 engine, it performs very well.

Lots of safety features and excellent comfort if you are not over 6'2' inches or large person.

I like having the remote start option on my phone

The dashboard layout is convenient and android&#47;apple auto play is a great feature.

If hindsight was 20/20, I would pay for the option and I would highly recommend you do the same if your thinking of purchasing the Crosstrek.

There are some differences that I like such as the added eyesight features (adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc.

but still be comfortable and have something more fun to drive.

It’s very comfortable, and easy to drive.

Granted I previously drove a more expensive car geared towards comfort

It is comfortable on long trips as well as staying local.

Comfortable driving and reliable safety system.

I am 6'3" and find it ample in space and comfort.

traded my ‘18  Ltd for new 2.5 Ltd and wow what a pleasure!

Would and will be buying another on for our other son and now for my wife as she is have lots of fun with it.

This car is fantastic, overall I enjoy the ride, how it handles, and such.

Had the 2021 Crosstrek for roughly 3 months and I gotta say it’s the most fun car I’ve ever owned.

2021 Kia Seltos

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".

In general the interior feels a bit more rugged than in the Sportage and this shows with the road noise which is louder than in the Sportage,

Very good functionality, large back seat that reclines.

The seats are spacious both front and rear.

The kids have plenty of room in the back seats and it has just enough hauling room in the back, especially if 2nd row is down.

I traded in a 2017 Sportage SX for the new 2021 Seltos SX.The styling and gas mileage were what sold me.I gave up some comforts like heated steering wheel and cooled seats

It has all the technology I could ask for except cooled seats.

But that aside; this car has excellent responsiveness to driver demands, a very intuitive driver assistance package, a great sound system, comfortable seating all seating positions, great gas mileage (even in the thirsty Sport mode), and last

The front heated seats are also very nice.

The seat position is comfortable
Has good pickup except sometimes it misses
when giving it gas because of the automatic on switch.

but great room good safety great seats great tech have other larger cars and truck if need more room

The 1.6 turbo engine is very responsive and gets great gas mileage.

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

the 2.0 engine is exceptionally quiet when first started and both the engine and IVT is a perfect combo with very good 30 MPG in mixed driving.

In SX turbo, the engine is quiet, responsive and ready to go.

I went with lower trim for 17 inch wheel for comfort and lower maintenance of none turbo engine.

Performance with the Turbo engine let’s you feel the gains in HP from the standard engine offering, it gives you that boost once you hit the higher RPMs.

It gets great gas mileage and has quite a bit of pick up and go for a 4 cylinder.

is amazing and on the highway you don't even feel like the engine is on as it is ultra quiet and the ride is like you are driving on glass smooth  as silk.

You won't be wanting to race anyone from the line in the base engine.

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

Lots of safety features, great fuel economy, and value.

compared with HR-V and CX-3 Seltos beat both in every categories of comfort, features, and size.

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

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

but, I'm 6'3 300 lbs and I fit in this Seltos LX comfortable.

It is comfortable, affordable, and drives very smooth.

room

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

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

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 Hyundai Palisade

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.

It is very simple to get into the third-row seat and you do not feel like your knees are in your face.

Leather seats are extremely comfortable for driver and all passengers.

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

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

This car meets all my needs it has a charging ports in The seats a self  charger in the Center counsel  a sunroof a moonroof leather seats enough leg room and space for the kids this car is perfect

We loved that we could each set our own desired features (seat location, radio stations and cell phone connections, personal features) and with one

They also make it easy to access the 3rd row.

There is plenty of leg room in both the front and back seats and more than enough cargo room in the back.

Everything i wanted in an SUV , all the new technology, roomy and comfortable even the 3rd row.

Gas mileage has been surprisingly good for around town, with the engine stop feature not overly annoying.

Powerful engine lots of safety feature and good manufacturer warranty

Spacious, luxurious, above average driving and engine capabilities.

The Palisade and Telluride have the same engine and transmission as the Genesis which is silky smooth with adequate power.
