2022 Kia Carnival

noise

Check engine light came out 2 times after I bought with in  2-3 months, it’s brand new van and it’s vibrating when press in gas what is unacceptable please don’t buy any kia I believe.

lights

2) lack of low end torque 3) check engine light came on twice in cold weather (-18c) .

Interior lights found on after parked for a while, 3 times, may be a fob click thing.

speed

Picks up speed in a snap and very tight turning radius.

With 290hp this MPV has the get-up-go attitude and ability to reach speeds quickly.

cargo

- The rear bumper could have been made an inch wider to allow for safe stepping onto when we need to reach for the rooftop cargos.

Comfort, third row seating that becomes a spacious cargo hauler, lots of

Enough room for everyone plus cargo space.

Features I liked most was a deep
Cargo space behind 3rd row, easy access and that
Table in the second row.

feature

Like it's look, rich in tech and features (bought the top trim),

The middle row reclining seats are a cool feature

Other really cool new features are that both the skylight windows open in the front and the back.

With that being said, all the features are great!

Overall a great vehicle, many great features

Great features on the EX trim, stunning looks, and smooth drive.

Love the passenger view and talk - handy feature for a carload.

Then for the price, you had to really empty the bank to get any of the nicer features on it.

although this Carnival had great features, there are somethings about it that are annoying.

comfortable

The carnival is stylish, clean looking, comfortable, and great for road trips!

My wife and I recently retired and wanted a new, reliable vehicle for trips and everyday driving.The KIA Carnival is great people and pet mover with a smooth ride and comfortable interior.

- Seats are, generally, comfortable for long trips.

Great car, spacious, comfortable and fun tech.

The 13 year old grand kids deal with the travels in comfort.

It is more comfortable than the Pacifica.

Super spacious, comfortable, loaded with features!

family

I am one impressed Kia repeat owner and I look forward to showing off the Carnival to all my mom friends!

We are a blended family and they are ages 10, 12, 12 and 14.

Plenty of room inside even in 3rd row for our 6’3” son.

but you have kids that love to ding doors parked next to your car, THIS Multi-Purpose Vehicle is the one to buy.

I got family that’s Kia fans and recommend me test drive one, it was nice I wasn’t too impressed with it, it had that familiar feel when I test drove a Sedona many years ago, felt cheap in my opinion..but to each their own.

What an amazing family car and this from for  Toyota owner! !

I would definitely recommend this vehicle to other moms.

2021 Toyota Venza

But I wasn't crazy for the stiff rides and the wind noise due to the height.

It is almost like metal piece rattling in the cargo area.

On highways, I noticed very little wind noise,

It make very very little sound or vibration when the gas motor starts/stops.

A little more road noise than I would;d like.

I noticed that when I play the radio a little too loud, the bass makes the dashboard buzz.

I am very disappointing with the 2021 Venza Driving Feel, I bought my Venza in December 17, 2020 and from the very beginning I heard the noise produced by the hybrid system (dealer technician said),

I have had  my car insulated to cut down on the road noise, thinking that was the issue.

Other than that the interior started squeaking after less than 3 months and 3k miles.

engine

though this car is a 4 cylinder, it does not feel underpowered at all and it zips around town with no issues.

I like how the engine shuts off coasting, braking, or stopped at a light.

no clunk when the engine turns off at a light like my wife's E350.

Perhaps the biggest compliment other than a droning engine when pushed hard is that you don't even realize you're driving a hybrid most of the time.

The start/stop of the engine does not bother me at all,

Not powerful or refined engine under hard acceleration as my 2014 Toyota Highlander XLE.

I have the 2021 Venza XLE I cannot get anymore than 41 liters of gas in it, and I run it down to where it says 20 KL left, anyone else have this problem, Toyota is doing nothing

navigation

Poor POI, tricky routing compared to smartphone, and sometimes hazardous paths: it led me to an UNBUILT ramp in Corpus Christi on 65mph which could be fatal if I was driving at nighttime and trusted the navigation.

The voice activated navigation is problematic at times.

The touch screen for the map does not appear on the entire 12” screen like in world like for it to.

Also, nav & upgraded audio not worth the upcharges.

It’s NOT as quiet as a Lexus  

Cons:
#Worst navigation system I’ve ever seen.

brake

We love everything about our Venza except , occasionally upon applying the brakes we hear a loud sound like metal banging.

The wind noise breaks into the interior just after 40mph and driving 70 on a highway in addition to buzzing from the wheels on a large-fraction asphalt or whistling on a concrete will make you head blow in just couple of hours.

After several failed attempts and the brake pedal going to the floor, I got out of the car, locked it, then re-entered and this time it worked properly.

A few times the Venza does not going to gear and I had to press the brake pedal again.

From the first week I had the BMW, I had issues with the brakes, the electronics, total engine shutdown, and the list goes on.

tire

In the owner's manual, it says that the Venza is not designed for off-roading (off-road only if unavoidable) and that snow chains cannot be mounted (mine has the bigger tires).

It's not bothered by extreme cross winds, snow, ice, slush, heavy rain - if you have the right tires.

It may be the Bridgestone eco tires, which I’ll eventually switch out to a better riding tire.

It handles good and has plenty of pick up speed.

Other safety features work great: speed limit sign recognition, blind spot monitors, adaptive cruise and so on work perfectly in any weather and lightening conditions.

The transmission is more like an electric vehicle, no gear changing as you move up to highway speed.

One of my favorite things so far is when cruise control is on the vehicle slows down and speeds up automatically when you are a selected amount of feet from the car in front of you.

Don’t mind tap-tapping to increase sound volume or fan speed -reviewer  complaints not shared by me.

Don’t mind tap-tap-taping to adjust sound volume, fan speed etc.

But based on the smooth & quite refinement offered, the Venza's cargo space is as good or better than other peers such as the RDX, X3, NX, RX, GLC and Volvo XC60.

The cargo floor is high up and the sloped tailgate cuts out usage cargo space.

It does lack handy storage and has less cargo space than a RAV4,

We're empty-nesters and the cargo space is more than sufficient for us

1) Interior Space: This model just simply does not do well at providing interior storage or cargo capacity.

It’s also very small cargo which is noticeable if you’ve had a RAV4.

We sacrificed a lot of cargo space, and the Venza definitely lacks "cubby hole" space,

It’s a comfortable ride, gets phenomenal gas mileage and love my stargaze roof.

the inside is luxurious, so comfortable and very quiet.

It is quiet, rides exceptionally smooth, 45.4 MPG, Sirius XM radio, 1st class power hatch, nice wheels, very comfortable seats, nice leather steering wheel, ect. .

The heated, ventilated seats are comfortable the vehicle is sharper in appearance than a Lexus and I just can't get over how much fun it is to drive.

The front seats are very comfortable and I love the ventilated seat option.

Smooth ride, comfortable with great features.

Feels roomier inside than the Limited Rav and most definitely a more comfortable ride.

The interior looks amazing and feels comfortable.

The seats are the most comfortable I ever sat in.

A comfortable and quiet ride was a priority, as we were coming from a Lexus RX350.

mileage

Although I got 55 mpg, in eco mode, going 7 miles to my grocery store in flat terrain, it was a boring ride.

Great gas mileage, avg 39 miles per gallon

Buy it because it's a hybrid, love it if you're willing to give up some gas mileage and have some real fun.

Great mileage so far, do not visit the gas station every week.

My overall gas mileage is 46.7 which is outstanding.

You have three options economy 39.8 miles to the gallon without trying.

I knew I would never use moonroof, I was really happy to find a car with so many features without moonroof.

This vehicle is packed with luxury features like parking sensors, power folding mirrors, and memory seat.

Many of the tech features are easier to understand after reading the manual and/or watching the tips/tricks videos online.

2021 Honda Passport

It looks like this number is better if you go with a reasonable speed (50-60 m&#47;h) rather than higher, even in interstate (about 24 mpg).

on highways as it just ate up rough curves at good speeds. 4.

Car is spacious, back seats are roomy, car rides smooth and has great pick up speed and has a very stylish look.

The extra seat on the Sorrento can only fit a child and it takes away from the ca's cargo space.

Great space for my family of 3 (almost 4), solid trunk and cargo space.

The car is very nice and comfortable large back seat space and cargo area and great lift over height.

Lots of cargo space, leg room and added features that didn't break the bank.

room

My husband is tall and has plenty of head room which he loves.

This is the best aspect of Honda Passport in addition to the space, which I talk about below. 6.

It has plenty of room, drives great and has plenty of performance.

I love the room in it with plenty of leg room and storage in the back.

This car has super succeeded every expectation I’ve ever wanted in a vechile.., I love the handling and room it has and I have plenty of rooms for my pups..

I couldn't find a competitor than came close to the feel and the comfort.

It is very comfortable for long road trips and just as easy to get around for everyday use.

The seats are definitely more comfortable.

Conclusion:
Honda Passport is a beast, powerful, spacious, BOSS SUV that handles roads very well with balanced comfort. Great value and respectable depreciation due to strong Honda reliability :)

I feel so safe driving in the rain and even in the dirt.. it's so fun to drive and super comfy.

This vehicle is quieter and more comfortable than the three Honda’s I have previously owned.

ride

It is a quiet ride and I have no problem with the Driver Assist Technology.

It’s a great ride, quiet on roads, secure handling and it’s quick.

Ride quality is acceptable with big 20 inch all season tires.

The Honda Passport looks great and the ride is amazing.

Stylish, comfort, not to big for a SUV it’s a beautiful car and a great ride.

Looking forward to a nice comfortable ride!

2021 Honda Pilot

The cruise control is cool that it will slow you down or speed you up.

but average, once it’s going on Highway speed, is very quiet, sometimes i found driving s little faster than i thought it was.

Plus the performance out of the 10 speed transmission backed by a powerful V6 makes it enjoyable to drive.

With all the new updates and now all trim levels come with 9 speed transmission it seams to be a much better ride now.

Good amount of cargo room & roomier 3rd row than many models.

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.

My whole family loves the space and comfort.

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.

I wanted something with room and the Honda name behind it.. the ride is smooth and it feels like I’m the pilot of a Lear jet

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.

Good size excelente engine confortable y reliable brand.

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.

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.

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

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

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

but for me it is fine a little noisy but great.

On good roads it is quiet and drives smoothly, there is some Road noise over rough roads,

Took it to my friendly auto mechanic and couldn't find anything wrong with brakes

The dealer claims it’s an issue with the break boaster.

I have had my new Trailblazer for over a month and just under 1000 miles, it’s has great torque in lower gears and quick take off - I will admit it doesnt have a good passing when at highway speeds.

with the 9 speed transmission and turbocharged.

Fun to drive, speeds up quickly, turns tight on corners and curves, and looks really great interior/exterior-wise.

You hit the accelerator and the power is there and the 9 speed automatic works seamlessly.

Bose speakers… lots of cargo space and still great on gas, especially with the prices.

I think the cargo area is set up quite well.

Living in an urban area, this is a great option.

It handles great fun to drive, roomy and the added features are amazing the detail in mine is over the top!!!

It a great car for the price and comes with a lot of goodies!!!

It has all the new safety features and is very quick and handles nicely.

car has plenty of options and looks really good.

Drives great, it’s loaded with so many safety and convenience features.

I was looking for a SUV and  I love all of the safety features that the Trailblazer has.

Has all the same features as the car  I turned in making the transitions easy.

From the exterior design to the beautiful interior, packed with features and technology for comfort and reliability, I'm blown away.

It’s very comfortable and I honestly thought only leather seats were heated.

The Trailblazer has a very comfortable ride!

Comfortable roomy just a great bang for your buck.

comfortable ride and good value of the price that we paid

but this TrailBlazer Activ is already the best, most comfortable, sharpest car I've ever owned.

Drive is very comfortable, plenty of interior room, great looking exterior.

Surprisingly roomy, accelerates great, comfortable seats, looks sporty, great mpg, would recommend this nice sized SUV to everyone. Chevrolet.

Packed with features, comfortable, roomy, fun to drive, all in a great looking package.

interior

Surprised that I am consistently getting 35 mpg going back and forth to work (30 mile round trip on mixed roads)  Styling and interior is great.

Exterior is super  (its what got me to look at it), interior is fresh and nicely done.

inside is great I like being high up in the seat better then a car.

The design of the car catches your eye and makes a statement, and the interior design and comfort are unmatched by any type in its class.

Comfortable AND stylish interior and seating with tons of leg room, plus all the bells and whistles.

Very comfortable even on long trips, the design is outstanding, I get complements all the time, the interior is exceptional in workmanship, style and lots of room.

Bottoms of inside as well as up the inside top as well.

2021 Kia Sorento

The rear wiper could use one more slower speed,

Love the speed and style of the car , 
Missing is memory seats, HUD, ambient lighting and more soft touch in cabin, apso less gloss black that get dusty and dirty , better sound system

Plenty of leg room for every one, lots of cargo space with third seat down.
