2020 Hyundai Kona

transmission

Braking had no effect on the car.i had no time to shift possibly to neutral.

You may have to get used to the dual clutch transmission.

I owned the car for three days and the transmission failed and at manufacturer cost had to be totally replaced.

service

I’m so excited about my purchase and I’m so grateful for the service and sales team working with me for 10 years now the sales team always goes beyond my expectations I missed my Santa Fe I missed my Tucson and my Elantra

tire

Best Gas mileage I have ever had ( between 32 & 40 MPG) For a smaller vehicle it still has plenty of storage and room and I love the color which is called " Lime Twist"  Very sporty with wide tires and all wheel drive.

No spare tire with the limited version though, just a fix-a-flat type kit.

Very nice exterior paint, two tone interior is uplifting & there is a full spare tire as well as a privacy shelf that hides your stuff in the back cabin so it isn’t visible from the outside.

feature

Lots of amenities including heated seats which is great in the winter.

It sporty, sassy and has many  great features.

One of the key features is it has a low cost of operation. 4.

The safety features sold me as well as the cool looks.

Great car, handles Very well, plenty of legroom, the features are far superior to most other car brands, really good value for the money, would definitely recommend

Great features: sun roof and Sirius radio for starters!

Great features all around on the vehicle inside and out.

So comfortable, drives great and I love all the amazing features!

I would recommend the SEL PLUS grade as it has all the safety features that are ideal.

comfortable

Great little car, great on gas fun to drive. Comfortable.

Otherwise it is stylish, comfortable and prices with dealerships are highly favorable for the consumer.

It is not perfect to drive and perfect in size not to mention very comfortable and super cute!

excellent for my needs ,good gas millage, comfort reliable good visibility, excellent handling.most of all great safety features

I personally don’t think the seats are very comfortable and I bought a sheepskin seat pad to protect the leather from damage.

safety

With a new driver on the road, having all of the safety features was the most important thing to us.

I like the safety features such as lane keeping assist and forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic warnings!

It has a long list of safety features, attractive styling, plenty of cargo space, good gas mileage , plenty of power, comfortable ride and a excellent warranty.

I researched this car a lot on my own, and I was looking for something with great MPG, safety reviews, and of course it had to look nice as well.

2019 Jeep Cherokee

Transmission can't decide which gear to select when accelerating from a slow speed which has gotten dangerous in a few highway entrance ramp situations; info system is weird to use - you need to turn the radio on first before going to climate, Nav, etc.

The transmission is really slow and seems like its confused and wasn't geared properly.

Hopefully just 1 bad part in the sea of transmissions.

There is a hesitation in transmission when I put my foot on the gas and the car basically doesn’t “go” for a few seconds.

Like break issues, transmission, and more .

After 45 minutes my wife took the car to go shopping and in less than a mile the transmission shifted to limp mode ONCE AGAIN and the ACC/FCW not available message popped up along with ESC and back up sensor faults.

I got my Jeep last May and it's been one issue after the next starting with the 9 speed transmission.

Just didn’t feel it could keep up with the bulk of the vehicle and it seemed to struggle with compatibility of the 9 speed transmission.

By exploded, I mean I was picking up shrapnel off the ground and transmission fluid was pouring out.

noise

at the same time there was another issue of clicking noise coming underneath the car when I mentioned it to the guy at the reception, he said, "its ok this is a brand new car that should not be an issue because these cars are built like this.

For being a 4x4, the ride is very nice and you don't hear the tire noise from the more aggressive tires out on the highway.

Next, I thought a clutch fan was going out because of a rattle we would hear sometimes.

The engine is noisy and I found it under-powered while towing much less than the capacity rating.

Although most people dont buy Jeeps for the gas mileage, this new engine and trans paring is lacking the mileage as well as it's a bit noisy.

Road noise and ride quality were our main criteria.

You can feel the road and hear the noise a bit,

Brakes make loud humming noise while braking in forward or reverse.

radio

You can adjust the radio without your hands leaving the steering wheel.

Radio won't store selected stations; radio volume  is erratic; NAV gets lost sometimes; backup camera is nearly useless at night especially if its raining; tailight lenses have water in them; it's just simply not a Toyota or Honda.

Pros:
- exterior styling
- interior styling
- interior comfort
- soft touch interior

Cons:
- buggy screen/control center (cuts in and out)
- radio (fm)  volume goes up and down while you're driving .

Radio is crap, dash lights coming on, I've had it 8.5 months and I can't get it worked on.

After 16 days the vehicle was finally diagnosed with a faulty radio and that was replaced and the car seemed to be running fine.

Have had the radio replaced which is unfortunately extremely common issue in Jeeps now days.

The two items I would prefer to be different are:   Why does the radio have to be "ON" before any information can be displayed on the screen?

The two items I do not like are the radio which MUST be turned on and left on (yes it can be muted or volume turned all the way down) before any of the screen information can be displayed.

The Jeeps software is out of date idk y they r selling it , no manual 4wd, the radio is faulty Cuts out , the car play won?t work , all these issues have been going on since the 2018 models now I?m stuck with a vehicle with faulty software

brake

If you let go of the brake right when the engine shuts of, you stall.

It’s a very easy car to drive not like the Evoque, which took at least a month to figure out the very long turbo lag, and extreme grabby brakes.

All the features, including the fog lights turning on when I turn the steering wheel and being able to release the pressure of the calipers when changing the brakes, really make the car even more special!

The brakes are very bad and takes a longer time to stop, causing a major safety issue.

.i detest the feature where the engine stops when you brake for a stop.

warranty

But be aware that after the warranty is up it has a defect that might leave you broke down on the side of the road

And the warranty is too much problems as well .

Only issue I have is a moonroof that leaks a little in a heavy rain storm, taking it to the dealer to have that addressed under warranty.

(Replaced under warranty on 08/22/18) on 07/08/18 - 07/09/18 - 07/10/18 I ran into an issue with the transmission shifting hard and then displaying a message on the dash that stated ?service transmission, restart in park at zero speed?

Have you serviced the car regularly

Yes, 4 synthetic oil changes over 18000 miles!

When I asked the service department to do it for me, they were totally unaware as to disable it BECAUSE no one EVER asked them to do it.

So far I've had problems with condensation in my tailights, a replacement nav/radio unit, XMGuardian services couldn't connect to the car and the active shutter grill was replaced.

Fun to drive both on road and off-road on BLM forest service land and gravel logging roads.

Chrysler Corp, Bayridge Jeep Service, Staten Island Jeep Service, the Area Manager, Bayridge Jeep Dealer no one will help!

Love this car and when there was a problem it was immediately serviced.

I like the jeep that I just leased, the car is everything that I could imagine and the service was great, that's all that I got

I have all documents from my service visits as well as videos and pictures of things when they occurred and it was safe to take / record the issue/concern.

but when I discovered it had no spare tire I was told it didn’t come with one!!!

I really like the 2.4 engine gas mileage is excellent and it is peppy  Great paint job and nice interior  Would like to have a spare tire BUT

Each time I get a tire rotation my tires need to be balanced and have to get my alignment done.

So, it is unabused, and unmolested with modifications other than the trailer hitch and the big all terrain tires.

has had it replaced with a real tire for sake of safety and my own peace of mind.

This car meets all my needs, it is fuel efficient and very comfortable.

Great deal, nice ride and super comfortable.

So here is the run down so far : 

Vehicle is comfortable both on short and long trips , I’m 6”1 and it is surprisingly roomy.

This car is comfortable to drive and good leg room riding in the back seat.

really comfortable , so many great features!

We bought it for our daughter and we feel very comfortable with its reliability and safety features.

Equipped great features such as Apple Carplay, Android Auto, Blind Spot Monitor, Emergency Rear Braking, LED headlights, dual tip exhausts.

This car has been very well made, no rattles every thing works, great features ,beautiful exterior and interior.

I love the style, features
And the new engine has great pickup.

It's loaded with a lot of features that  helps make you feel safe and confident in driving it.

It had almost everything I was looking for ( no tow package)
Love it!!! !

The car is awesome looking and has all the features I need.

ride

I love all the extras on it and the smooth ride.

Recommend this car for its performance and ride.

This vehicle meets me and my family needs it has plenty of leg room hold the road very well the ride oh my God it is amazing smooth as

I love my Jeep latitude love it love it love the smooth ride, the space, the design love it all I would recommend it to a friend

I love that it is a trailhawk, and I like the size and ride.

The ride is smooth and composed, actually sporty, and the 9 speed is smooth as silk.

The  ride is very smooth and comfortable, and it has a solid, quality feel to it.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Only brakes recall no transmission problems 20000 miles so far i used to haul boats 2 a months and the truck engine is a beast

When shifting at times it slams into the next gear, not gliding in as it should.

The fuel pump burnt out, fuel pumpcontroller, the dash burnt out, it shifts weird, theres been about 10 recalls serveral on the breaks, seat belt, battery cable, alternator, the back camera flashes, the metal is thin, too, the interior is cheap.

but a headache since.transmission issues and they have no fix.replace transmission or give money back seems like the right thing to do

but have been having issues with transmission that are considered “normal” by GM and their dealers.

but I have a persistent transmission issue the dealer does not acknowledge or can not fix.

Transmission makes some odd sounds at time, not always.

Lots of transmission issues that know one knows how to fix because computers don’t tell them what’s wrong.

Apparently GM has known about this and other problems with the 8 speed transmission since it came out about 4 years ago

I thought this would fix the wind and road noise.

Went stop, went change 1 to 2 speed, morning trasmision doesn't work properly, brakes noise morning and too many recalls and dealer said is normal.

Only thing I would say that maybe needs is having the outside noise eliminated.

The Bluetooth doesn't work, there is a rattle that apparently only happens when I.m not at the dealership, the fit and finish is terrible.

30 minutes it has a rattle start making noise, its been in the shop twice to be repaired and it still has the issue, my dealer has no ideal or does it even want to try to repair.

but the experience Iam having with my 2017 a vibration in the gas pedal and clunking in the rear end and the complete b.s I’ve had to go threw the past 8 months not impressed with the service from the dealer or from gm .

The  parking brake being on every time you park seems weird too, so is the noise when you open your door when it’s not running.

There is no physical connection between the brake pedal and the master cylinder.

Now I’m back at the shop because the breaks have gone out again.

It took a little while longer having to pump the brakes it finally worked. 🤷‍♀️

Had the truck 2 days, service brake light came on,brought it back to dealer.

I’m not to keen on the push start and I do miss not having to put your foot on the brake to start it.

Completely blindsided that the towing package did not come with integrated brake controller !

Didnt know the LT deleted so much stuff disappointed that a 47 k truck didnt have a xm radio standard .

I was really disappointed to find out as I was leaving ,there is no XM RADIO ON SOME TRUCKS.I was even more disappointed that the customer was not told.

This is my 4rth Silverado LT all have been good trucks.My 2019 was disappointing for $54,000.No satellite radio,or fog lights and I miss the glasses holder on the above console.Always have driven Chevrolet-GMC, next time gonna try something else.

Xm radio is not automatic either anymore, and again not able to add a factory upgrade to get it afterwards.

lights

Headlights are a poor design, not projecting to the side or ahead sufficiently.

My engine light came on and it took a couple days to get it in, dealer replaced a module and less than 20 miles later the same happened again.

The grill and lights just  make me not want it from the lack of curb appeal alone.

It is taking some getting used to in having the truck shut off when stopped at a stop light,

That configuration is great because I can keep my eyes on the road rather than having to look down to see if the high beams are on or off (especially on stretches of road where I often switch back and forth between high and low beams).

They don't let the cheaper models have LED lights , which cost nothing and a really a safety issue.

I have spent more time in a service waiting room than any other vehicle I have owned.

Service at Hirlinger  Chevrolet was awesome and Gary is the Best.

Thank You Paolo and their sales team for a great service on our first purchase of our business trucks

Coming in with a 6 inch factory lift sitting on 35 x 12.50 x 20 inch tires really makes this thing have an aggressive curb appeal.

Good for a year (Good Year Tires) are a poor choice.

jack wont get the truck high enough to remove flat tire
'

Trail boss looks great .big tires, lifted, step boards.

Very comfortable ride on long trips ,fuel efficient & dependable.

This truck fits all of our needs and is super quiet while riding in it.

The ride is smooth, it looks great inside and out, and does the heavy duty work, I need it to do.

Love the handling and ride of my new Silverado.

This truck has a lot of room inside.It gets great gas mileage and rides like a car.

The truck has a nice solid ride and is not as stiff as my old 2500 suburban.

Very comfortable, lots of amenities and solid.

Not the most comfortable seats for the cost of High County.

This truck has everything you need heated seats, stirring wheel is heated which my husband loves, constantly comfortable.

Since that requisite was meet the rest of the truck surprised me with the comfort, quietness and joy it brings driving it anywhere.

High Country has great features,  comfort and room for the entire family.

Great ride, v8 power, love the remote tail gate, comfortable interior, no its not a plush Dodge Ram or a F150, the driver controls and instrument cluster is old school not digital, has the column stalk shift.

Comfortable and roomy crew cab 4x4 just in case.

It has features not expected, plenty of room and a lot of storage.

Plenty of room and lots of features that I probably will never use,

I really like some of the functionality features and appreciate having full analog gauges , something my Mustang GT/CS didn't have (virtual and had to toggle through).

Very well thought out features and very user friendly.

Roomy interior, love the new design, features are good

It has every feature you could possibly want.

2019 Kia Sorento

Worst brake poor mechanical less efficient.

Hardly any noticeable wear on the brakes or the suspension system.

So at 7000 miles i started having break rubbing like i needed be breaks so i took it to the dealer to have it looked at and the guy said it was dirt  now i have  squealing  When i stop.

I like the ability of having a 3rd seat when needed
 The adaptive cruise control takes a little getting used to, especially when someone changes lanes and cuts you off short, and your car brakes suddenly

I enjoy driving this car ,also love its features ,especially when we had snow I didn't have any problem driving to work and back, also the life time service was the best I ever had

Look forward to years of service from our Kia.

Service manager told me it’s because of the weight of the vehicle.

Both times I had it checked at the local kia service center and both times they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

It gave me great service and reliability, so I decided to try the Kia Sorento (same company).

Pros: quite ride, great customer service, 100,000 mile warranty.

I love the back up camera and the UVO and Apple car play services.

My nice Hancock radials are very good tires suited for this automobile.

I have the L model and it rides and sounds like it’s a bad tire on it.

great driving vehicle great fuel mileage comfortable and handles great in town as well as highway driving

This car has everything I wanted, literally: all the comfort and features I wanted: plenty leg room, heated seats, heated wheel, navigation, satellite radio, Bluetooth,

I am able the carry all of my grandchildren in comfort.

Lots of room, comfortable, responsive dependable & a pleasure to drive, 
Easy to use information system,

It’s comfortable, drives smooth, and i love that it beeps when backing up to let you know something is behind you.

The ride is superb, the radio is awesome, and the comfort is something new for me which I’ve never before experienced.

The ride is comfortable and smooth, with the common *thwap* over expansion joints and frost heaves being present

Smooth comfortable ride and very powerful for a 4 cylinder.

Long list of "Standard" features as well.

We needed a nice family vehicle.The 2019 Kia Sorento is perfect for us.Plenty of power,smooth ride.Lots of room.We are extremely happy with it.It also has very nice features.

However I feel the new 2021 version is a cool new looking automobile because of its mini Telluride look and many new great updated standard features.

Interior is really sharp and safety and convenience features are great.

The trim level (SX) provides substantial amenities that are very well laid out and well explained in the Owners Manual.

The Telluride has all the same features, and many more, for that price.

family

We hardly ever use the third row so it's mainly a family hauler of stuff.

A perfect choice for both family use & utility.

Love that it provides ability to seat 7 or transport larger items and space for grandkids and pets together for outings

The car has been great so far several driving modes and it accommodates my family well.

It leaves plenty of room for our dog to lay,stand,turn around even with luggage and a stroller in the back with him.

Third row seats come in handy when transporting kids or other family members around town.

This is a Reliable family vehicle made for Cool Parents..The third row option is a dream..It’s perfect for the family on the go..I’m so glad we made this choice..
