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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

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.

panoramic

The panoramic sun roof is a very nice touch during clear evening sky or sunny drive with my family.

I also love my ventilated seats on hot summer days and the panoramic roof.

engine

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

I love the handling and power of the turbo engine.

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

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.

turn-handling

There were much less body roll when I was twisting and turning in city streets.

Overall, the CX-50 is a  stylish in/out, fun to drive SUV with most things I look for.

It was so much fun, and I was so proud of my little Mazda!

2022 Hyundai Tucson

phone

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

radio

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

noise

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

but I have not had any issues getting up to highway speeds, or with stop and go city driving.

If I keep the speed close to 70 I average 33, which is excellent.

The 8 speed transmission is smooth, and the steering is responsive.

It handles well, is quiet at lower speeds;( with exception of noisy backup alert).

This vehicle bought for my wife, this vehicle is awesome so smooth quiet quick response when hitting gas ally the options u can ever want even panoramic roof my wife is so in love with it she’s had Murano and 3 rav4”s in the past she’s like a kid with new toy she is so happy

comfortable

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

ride

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

feature

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe

small-size

Within months my small town dealership has had four 2022 Santa Fe's with brake problems.

My only complaint (very small one) is the auto hatch release only works if you use the key fob, door handle lock, or digital key on your smartphone to lock the car.

lights

We learned early on that a front seat passenger can not use a seat pad and have the passenger seat air bag light go off.

This was due to the car burning through half of its oil in a day without any warning lights, without any leaks, and without any suggestion that anything was wrong.

The "Smart Cruise Control" uses brakes to control the speed you set and the distance to the car in front of you.

It works wonderfully keep the distance between you and the car in front of you and setting the cruise control at the speed desired is attained by 1

The Santa Fe’s turbo engine and 8 speed DCT transmission make it a joy to drive.

The stereo sounds great, the panoramic sun roof is really cool, and the interior is luxurious.

turbo

We bought a 2020 Santa fe and traded it in for a 2022 Hyunda santa fe limited 2.5 turbo best in the world.

This is the 2.5 turbo, 8 gears, very efficient and smooth shifting, and surprisingly powerful when you need to step on it to go quickly.

I took the car on my first road trip this past weekend and I love the passing power of the turbo charged engine on the highway.

Drives much like the BMW without the turbo lag the 330 had.

heat/air-control

All the controls are user friendly and well thought out.

I also really like the Lane Keep Assist feature with the adaptive cruise control.

The layout of the controls in the Santa Fe are the best I have ever seen and far superior to the single screen in the the Tesla.

The XRT is my 3rd Santa Fe an has great look to it with blacked out grill,side steps an black wheels only have it 2 weeks an getting compliment's notice it seems quicker with the 2.5 engine .

2022 Acura MDX

battery

I ended up disconnecting the battery to do a hard reset and it seemed to work fine after that.

Nothing would get it to open again except disconnecting the battery and trying again.

Aspec, SH-AWD: Engine is powerful enough to move the heavy SUV without problem
The transmission is doing well, especially after second gear; No gear changing feeling
Cabin is not on the quite or noisy side.

but it controls engine and wind noise so well that you hear a lot of droning tire noise which gets annoying.

Road noise and engine noise is also a bit louder that my Lexus.

The auto engine shut off is extremely annoying.

The 2022 has a great Honda built 10 speed that gets after it and

It is constantly searching for the right gear at speeds under 55-60 mph.

For &#36;62K the Advance package has even unusual extras like HUD, heated steering wheel,  driver-side seat memory, stay-in-lane-assist, 360 camera, panoramic sun-roof etc.

interior

The interior is comfortable with great seats,

All the comfort and tech features work as advertised, the style and the interior 3 rows of seats are great.

So it is Okay
Interior material  quality is very good and looks decent.

The interior (with the exception of all the piano gloss black trim is stellar).

Interior mood lights pretty cool and the headlights and fogs are very bright.

The exterior and interior design is so slick and sexy.

It drives like a dream and is a beautiful car, inside and out.

I went back in time when I opened the door to see the spacious interior.

The seats are insanely comfortable, excellent for highway cruising or around town.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

Cabin is very quiet, comfortable ride, and tech is great for the segment.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

The car ticks all my wants for technology and comfort.

Very comfortable, Good looking, handles well for a large car, glad I got the SH all wheel drive as it improves cornering substantially.

The car is comfortable and the technology package is impressive.

The ride is super smooth and reasonably quiet.

We were looking for a while ,we like the look and ride of this car technology is great!

The third row is big enough for children, or smaller adults could easily ride back there for short distances.

I'm glad I purchased it and love the ride Quality.

2022 Toyota Highlander

Sometimes I hear noises from the rear when backing out of my driveway when applying brake 
pressure.

I bought 2022 Toyota Highlander, and the rear seatbelt make a very annoying noise while driving on rough road and the dealer told me that I should put the seatbelt back to the clip, and they told me that is how they design it.

Mileage is not what I expected and the noise on the highway is just flat unbearable.

The hybrid version is powerful enough just a bit noisy when starting off and going up an incline.

It feels more solid, less road noise and has all the bells and whistles.

After 30 miles I have a headache from the noise and hard to walk from the cheap seats.

Just bought a brand new Toyota Highlander Hybrid le and have terrible wind noise on both sides in stronger wind and not sure about a smooth ride.

The only reason I give the Highlander any mark over 1 is because it seems to be solid and has a smooth ride.

The console is really solid so resting your arm there is a bit uncomfortable for any type of a lengthy ride.

large-size

I really think Toyota should either make the arm rest in the door bigger or put an actual armrest on the side of the driver’s seat.

but it has auto start, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats, panoramic Sun roof, large screen with JBL speakers and Apple car play.

wheel

There is just not a comfortable position for your left elbow with your left hand on the steering wheel.

Manual steering wheel tilt
The map doesn't utilize the full 12.3 wide screen
Function

The heated steering wheel, also in this model, is mediocre at best as it does not heat the back side of the steering wheel and over heats the front.

steering

Plenty of power to drive whatever speed you need on the freeway.

It just doesn’t adjust to a fast enough speed for my taste.

The panoramic sunroof is awesome as is the stereo on the platinum pkg.

Excellent quality, adequate tech, good economy, drives very quiet and smooth, very comfortable seating, vary comfortable second row captain’s style seating, extra large cargo capacity with third row seating folded down.

We will be putting a fair amount of highway miles on this Highlander and feel very comfortable driving it anywhere without being stranded.

The seats are massive, so super comfortable.

I think the design is a good balance of functionality and comfort.

It’s comfy and drives amazing and roomy and sporty and not a typical mom car as my husband doesn’t mind driving it either ! !

The front seats are comfortable and in this model they are heated and ventilated.

The technology options are too numerous to mention and still learning 
but love the blind spot notification features.

The idea of a self driving car strikes me as laughable when they can’t get this feature to work very well.

A few other options that could have been included with that price point and several options that came with it I will never use!

Minor issues that I will gladly live with in order to get all of the other features that I like so much.

It has all the features my previous one didn’t have that I wanted and the price was reasonable compared to what new SUV’s are going for theses days.

All the other features on the XLE are driver programmable and makes customizing the car to your requirements/preferences.

fuel

I love my XLE Highlander my first new one .Very smooth ride.Great look and easy to park ,great on gas.

Smooth, quiet and phenomenal gas mileage.

Update: car came in on time, cleaned and full tank of gas.

For a vehicle this size, with the V-6 engine, it gets excellent gas mileage (30 plus).

As noted by some other reviewers, the gas mileage is just okay.

We have a 2022 Hylander Hybrid Limited and given the price of gas this was a good practical choice.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid

but amazing sound), physical operator control panel (user preference but IMO touch screen settings should be reserved for one time settings), interior comfort, cargo room, 6 speed dual clutch transmission, and mechanical all-wheel drive system.

Good job Hyundai using a 6 speed trans vs a variable, shifting is all good.

This is a well designed vehicles and some of my favorite features so far: lane centering assistance (works great with steering wheel torque modulating based vehicle position and is far superior to the 2020 Rav4 we own), adaptive cruise control, panoramic moonroof, surround sound stereo (stumbled on the setting

Wonderful vehicle - smooth, quiet and comfortable.

Overall, this is an outstanding vehicle, it's super comfortable, very roomy and performs well.

The car is very comfortable, about the same as the Benz,

I had a very enjoyable and comfortable quiet drive.

It has virtually every feature of a high-end luxury car.

Helping to have a home charger installed would be nice or even offering the option.

I drove about 1000 miles and satisfied with performance and safety features of this car.

The home plug-in option works great, just plug it in at night when you get home.

Quiet, spacious, considerable safety features, easy charging to run daily short commute.

At the time of writing, it has been very difficult to find a Santa Fe PHEV limited so I didn't care about color or installed options.

safety

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

Also, the key on your phone will not work if you have an iPhone.

but I cannot use android auto google maps on full screen; for some reason, it shows a sidebar with the Android auto logo, which is a waste of screen space.

navigation

I also think the navigation and back up camera is not as good as the prius prime.

Try to use the map function and it would crash.

gear

Reverse Gear warning sound - It is much too loud and sounds like a backhoe backing up.

but at times the transmission seems to shudder into 3rd or 4th gears and almost lurches the passengers forward for a half second, but it's not consistent enough to be checked by the dealership.

The only cons are at very low speeds and very light acceleration it sometimes hunts for the correct gear.

My main complaint for this model is the fuel tank, and if you are doing long-distance travel, you have to stop every 300 miles; it only holds 11 gallons, that's ridiculously small for an SUV.

For a 27k vehicle it has so much plastic that even a small light impact takes out the to low to the ground turn signals.

The biggest con is the small gas tank and range.

tank

Plenty of power, smooth ride, effortless to drive, and comfortable.

The interior is very comfortable &#38; with the Limited trim we also got the 10" screen.

Otherwise it is very comfortable and has a nice ride quality.

People have complemented its looks on several occasions and it's a comfortable ride.

This Tucson is a much smoother ride than my previous version, and it has the styling that turns heads.

I'm overall very happy &#38; look forward to several years with my new ride!
