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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

service

Turbo mounted in the back - behind a motor, makes future service a headache and it makes engine bay super hot.

suspension

engine

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

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

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.

After a few months, I noticed my right headlight wasn't working as well as my left one, so I requested service through the mobile app.

As usual when you pick up the tesla car, you need to do a “thorough inspection “, even underchassis of the care, true enough, the model Y has  a lot of problems, the fittings are not the same, tail lights was not properly installed, the hood is not the same alignment, I don’t know what the quality control is doing.. most of the cars are built rushed.

Phone charger was replaced, back tail light was replaced, car came slights misaligned,  and finally at one point “hold mode” stopped working for like two days then started working again.

windshield

but I owned a Model 3 for almost 4 years and only changed the tires, not even the wipers, other than a problem with the 12 volt battery that runs things when the “mother battery” is busy with other things, but it was covered under the 50,000 mile warranty and they came to my home to fix it.

power

Let’s be real, this won’t save the environment let alone the fact the batteries will need to be disposed at some point, most power plants are coal, the amount of work to process and build this car, and this is a heavy vehicle youre not allowed to fix: this is the worst investment you can make for a daily driver.

heat/air-control

Other weird things: when you use cruise control every once a while it will beep wildly and slam on the brakes for no apparent reason.

but if you live in a hot climate like I do here in Riverside, you're not gonna get 300.

The quality control on the vehicle is terrible.

Good thing is I know a guy who fixes tires for Tesla so customer service is amazing so far!

They have mobile home service since your not dealing with big gas engines and transmissions and other old-fashion machinery.

If you have any issues Tesla will put you into service limbo.

Sales process, customers services, mobile repair - all excellent.

Negative Aspects:
* Tight suspension gives great handling,

Very overrated car, real range is not more than 200 miles..(winter driving),very stiff and bumpy riding on the performance car, luck of car control with this big tuch screen.

range

We have driven cross country with zero issues finding chargers or running low on range.

and even INCREASING the car's RANGE by 15km/ charge, yes they did that with a software update!

The Long range version has the perfect range.

Very fun and practical, no worries about range with Supercharger network.

This car is excellent when it comes to range.

I found out that the extended 320 mile range is only good for around town driving.

The 2022 Tesla Model Y has a range of around 350 miles and charging stations have not kept up with the Tesla and other electric vehicle fascination.

It's super fun to drive and easy to plug in at home and road trips.

It’s fun, handles well, good cabin experience, and it’s comfortable.

ride

The build quality, ride, and over car is amazingly improved.

The best thing to do is spec the car with smaller diameter wheels (19” wheel = cheaper tires/more selection and better ride quality) or buy a set of 19’s once you get the vehicle.

2022 Subaru Outback

navigation

With my vehicle it was that the voice activation of the nav and search systems simply didn't work.

Unfortunately the infotainment screen is laggy and shuts off randomly shutting down everything except the engine,, safety systems, radio, gps, ac are all used through the laggy screen.

Infotainment can be a little touchy, wish nav used Google maps.

Electronics are consistently awful, from the (not really) voice-activated navigation to the slow, finicky touch-screen that controls nearly everything.

button is almost impossible to find&#47;use. The voice-activated navigation is unreliable - try entering a local address and the system responds "Would you like to navigate to the center of Lenox Iowa?"

Electronics are awful - voice navigation pretty much impossible to use; touch screen very slow to react; some

The infotainment system can be a little confusing (mainly around profile management),

cons: HORRIBLE dash system, get RID OF the Screen!

I really do not understand all the reviews with hatred for the touch pad&#47;infotainment system, in fact for me it is a high point of the car!

failure

Subaru driver recognition works sometimes and in a repair order they say it’s designed to fail.

The electronics are annoying, faulty and poorly designed.

voice-command

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.

My salesman, sales manager, finance team, post-sale representative, and service department all get a well deserved AAA+ rating.

The turbo engine is rough, especially under acceleration.

Increased ride height with a soft and compliant suspension on rough pot hole ridden streets along with more rugged looks make the Wilderness a great option.

comfortable

Very safe, comfortable and nice car to drive.

Altho the cloth seats could be more comfortable, love everything else except the car shutting off at stops.

The vehicle was highly rated and is very comfortable,

It accelerates better due to the turbo engine and is more comfortable inside.

This is the nicest riding most comfortable car I have ever owned.

The seats may very well be the most comfortable I've ever had in a car.

There are some positives: the seats are very comfortable and the ride is good.

pros: Smooth ride, pretty quiet interior, nice seats, sound system is good.

It rides incredible and handles beautifully too.

Ride is great , gas mileage is 33mpg and Subaru reliability
 Really love this car and we feel so safe in it .

safety

The luxury and safety of the Subaru is unmatched for the price.

you need all the safety stuff because your always looking down.

however, beyond comfort, the excellent ‘safety’ rating was impressive to each of us.

However, I dare you to find another car that offers so much standard safety features.

Great styling, safety features and lots of space for transporting gear or shopping items.

My 2022 Outback Touring with Java Brown Nappa interior is simply the best yet, with Eyesight Technology and all of the safety features, e.g., Lane Keeping, Adaptive Cruise Control & Blind Spot Monitoring etc.

2022 Volkswagen Taos

The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic.

I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome.

The DSG transmission is a very poor choice for this vehicle.

The transmission is a bit laggy from a start

but until the embarrassing 7-speed transmission gets addressed, I wouldn't recommend the Taos to someone.

The only negative comments I have is about the transmission.

but the uneven power delivery is a hazard and I would warn others to avoid the AWD version until a future time when VW either fixes this condition or uses a different transmission in the next version.

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

I purchased this in January and at only 4000 miles has been to the dealer multiple times for stop start stalling, EPC code, check engine light and other electronic issues.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

but you do get what you pay for & appreciate that the first two services are complimentary plus the 4 year/50k warranty! !

Their customer service has been little to no help either.

The dash/cockpit and steering wheel are the best assets in the S. 
The area to plug your phone has a weird angle that makes it tough to plug into unless you're in Park, the CarPlay continuously disconnects due to the angle and/or hitting a bump disconnects the phone slightly making it necessary to unplug and replug the phone while driving.

but gained AWD, way more passenger space for family and friends and a more comfortable riding position for when I feel like running about.

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.

It has a very comfortable ride (a little on the firmer side) and it handles very well for a CUV.

Nice balance between sportiness, efficiency, noise, & ride.

It's a very compact car, I find that the passenger seat ride is okay - I have a baby-seat in the rear that only allows for so much room in front-passenger seat

It’s a comfortable ride and easy to maneuver.

The car is beautiful on the outside and such a smooth ride.

Acceleration is not bad, better in Sport mode, ride is good, and handling surprisingly nimble.

The soft touch makes resting the elbow more comfortable,

Sporty stylish exterior and technology-packed interior with loads of room and extremely comfortable seats.

On our first road trip we averaged almost 42 MPG in great comfort and safety.

Interior is extremely comfortable for 4, w/ lots of luggage space.

but nice, and the seats are super comfortable.

room

I'm 6'6" and I fit quite comfortably inside, plenty of head, leg, and knee room!

Great fuel economy, handles like a sports car and plenty of room on the in the cabin.

but, you should not need to push the seat back for basic foot room.

I'm 6'4, and I have ample leg and head room.

2022 Mazda CX-5

I myself prefer a touchscreen over the knob control and it does lack a hands-free lift gate and a real remote start (hate the app-only remote start!).

I got leather seats, AWD, blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, heated seats, dual climate controls up front and leather wrapped steered no wheel and shifter all standard.

gear

I believe the transmission gearing could and should be modified to accommodate the lack of horsepower, and the lack of horsepower and poor MPG experience are honestly my only complaints.

but definitly for me - Also , worth a second mention , most suvs in this catagory have CVT transmissions -  Continuously Variable Transmission -   in other words , it does not have stepped gears , its like stepping on a sponge , not crisp and they try to trick you with CVTs saying you can use it like a regular transmission -  bs &#47;.

Everyone at Empire Mazda in Huntington was wonderful from start to finish. AZ & Mike Farina were both very helpful and patient - 10 stars for service :)

Always followed up with me, great customer service and the best choice for me

interior

I love the color, step in height, the look, the interior, the exterior.

Best and transmission is normal excellent interior is very luxury for the model, excellent quality interior and exterior, recommend for family small, motor is high performance in sport drive mode

The interior (white parchment) is very classy with plenty of accessories and features.

The interior is design and seating are sweet, the ride even and the handling are sweeter yet.

Love the red leather interior and all the options it came with.

Comfortable with a great interior and the driving experience is great.

The styling is excellent, the interior reminds me of an Acura or a Lexus, and the car is definitely a drivers car.

feature

Very Happy with my recent purchase of my 2022 CX5 (preferred package).

I needed a reliable car, quality features and an overall highly functional car with the best  rating.

Also I love the auto start feature that lets me warm my car up on cold mornings.

Though it’s the base version standard AWD and safety features included are top notch.

Mazda has greatly improved this model in recent years with a better, quieter ride, more comfortable seating and better performance.

Decent ride and performance for a 4 cyl, compact SUV.

The handling &#38; ride is like an even higher class vehicle.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK

2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

It feels like it could benefit from an extra 1Kw sized battery and gain a good bump in mileage.

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!

mileage

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 Genesis GV80

Sales experience poor.Now go to another dealer who has Lexus type service and is a Genesis dealer not a Hyundai dealer.

Would love it if it had air suspension otherwise love the car.

Totally comfortable
and smooth riding whether in the City or the Open Road.

After 3 weeks I have found the car to be everything I was looking for, performance, comfort and stylle.

My Gv80, is comfortable , fast and a luxury ride.

The style, both inside and out, is stunning and the ride is as luxurious and comfortable as all the reviews say.

This is quieter and more comfortable than the GLE.

We have the blue exterior with the tan interior, we get thumbs up or compliments all the time.

but GV80 feels like in a next league with interior, luxury and comfort.

2022 Rivian R1T

Their service is unbeatable as they will come right to my home to service the truck unless it needs special attention which requires it to be put on a lift.

Rocketing from 0-60 in 3 seconds *in a pickup truck* will never get old :) The ride quality is fantastic too; the air-adjustable suspension is in a league of it's own.

The ride experience is varied depending on which mode you select.

If you are looking for a responsive vehicle that has a sweet comfortable ride and can also haul most gear and is great for camping; this is the truck for you.

Really Fast, Handles unreal for a truck, Smooth as glass ride.

I really like that it raises and lowers the ride height depending on the application.

It can ride like a Corvette giving you a total sports car feel on the road, or like a F-150 which can handle anything I throw at it.

It can handle tight, twisty mountain roads like few vehicles can, and then jump off the road to crawl up roads that very few stock vehicles can survive.

Although I only have a little less than 1600 milesAcceleration handling and comfort and love the size

Even so, the back seat is very comfortable for two and even three people.

I was immediately comfortable with the technology and the truck is wonderful.

From highway, to white sands, to mountain rock trails, this truck has the versatility to swap between any mode that you need and do it in style and comfort at the same time.

2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

And you get 5 service visits free - a nice surprise.

4) There are a lot of little rattles on rough roads.

I would think with the gas mileage I get with the Highlander I'll get at least 46 mpg with the Venza.

My best trip mpg has been 40 when driving from the Portland OR area to the coast.

its a perfect match for our needs and great mileage so far Happy

Great mileage, quite a comfortable ride, and surprisingly quick, even without using the Sport mode.
