2022 Acura MDX

tire

my 18 tlx a-spec V6 had zero 80,000 trouble free miles the only thing I replace was batteries and tires.

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

What I don’t love is the crazy amounts of tire noise on some surfaces on the OEM tires.

The Bad: Tires are louder than they should be.

radio

The radio will just stop working for no reason.

So when I am a passenger in the car, I can not use the phone at all, otherwise the XM radio turns off (I’m not trying to play any audio or video on the phone, just checking email will turn off XM).

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.

The auto heating and cooling is not so great with comparison to my 2016 highlander

Either way, very cheap vent parts that will definitely break off if a knee hits them sliding in/pushing on them from the middle seat.

speed

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

I swapped out the tires at 8500 miles and the problem became much better with the car becoming much more pleasant at highway speeds on rough surfaces.

The naturally aspirated V-6 mated to the 10 speed transmission is very smooth, with good acceleration.

The MDX is supposed to show you the speed limit on any given highway, and I know it works perfectly with their RDX,

sporty

I had so much issue with my Range Rover sports and X5.

It’s stylish and sporty the way it should be!

The A-Spec is basically just a sport aesthetics/audio package costing over 5k more than the Tech.

but sporty - and looks and drives like a smaller car than the actual dimensions reveal.

ride

Wife has a 2017 MDX and the '22 has a significantly upgraded interior with all the latest technology, while improving on the ride and driving experience.

As for handling and ride, Acura has always excelled,

The ride is super smooth and reasonably quiet.

Purchased a 2022 MDX Advance SH-AWD a week and half ago and I have to say that this is by far the most comfortable ride I have been in.

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

I love the technology, the ride, the looks, and how practical the cargo space is.

This car is beautiful and its rides excellent .

comfortable

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

but also performed great, comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

Seats on the leather suede combo very comfortable.

We want to feel comfortable driving anywhere in any weather.

The rear sitting areas are equally comfortable.

It’s plush, comfortable, and feels solid.

interior

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

The leather interior is a big improvement.

I think the car looks beautiful and modern inside and out which is why we bought it.

I really do love the look of the car inside and out.

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

A Hyundai Tuscan has a nicer interior and better tech than this.

We really like the new aesthetic redesigns on the exterior and interior--dramatic improvement.

I think they could have done a better job of creating interior storage for small items.

The pros to the SUV is it looks nice from the outside and it looks great on the inside.

2021 Kia K5

noise

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

After a month of owning my k5 EX the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is the terrible wind and road noise that comes into the cabin.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

lights

2400 miles in and it already needs to go in for an engine diagnostic on 8/6/21; stopped at a red light and the car had NO pickup/power and RPM’s were pegged at 4500-5000 when I took off from the red light; lights started flashing on the dashboard, etc.

With LESS THAN 300 MILES and after owning for only 3 weeks the engine light came on and the car started shaking violently.

the door handles light up as you approach the vehicle, the smart trunk opens automatically when you stand in front of the trunk, the front collision detector sounds if you're getting to close to the vehicle in front of you.

My engine light came on and it turn out to be a faulty ERG valve.

The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day.

Car is great, however; driver headlight veers off to left with a distinct V shape that is void of light and light isn't adjustable.Dealer is trying to resolve,

A few cons to the car, the approach lights in the door handle could be a little brighter.

Has power, speed, sexiness, and fuel is good.

Car has just the right amount of power to get up to freeway speed without getting in to trouble.

but with turbo charging and 8 speed transmission it feels fast, smooth and powerful.

Rides smooth at any speed, easy to handle, exceptional acceleration especially in the sport mode, the seats are both comfortable and offer great support.

I have had just about everything, VW, CAMRY,NISSAN, love this K5 it is classy, beautiful, great performance love sport mode, All wheel drive and feels like a race car when you drive it.

It is a sporty car that gets good gas mileage and is big enough for my family.

Reliable, comfortable  and very sporty for the GT line.

Sporty look with good pickup, rides smooth.

It has amazing acceleration in sport mode and its just an all around great buy.

The fastback look is very attractive and sporty.

Drives AMAZING, the features in the car are AWESOME, and the look of the car gives a very sexy sporty feel.

This can is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than my Honda Accord or my BMW 528i.

Seats are comfortable and with all these great sides it costs relatively low which makes it perfect for my first car in my life.

It has the comfort and gas efficiency of a nice family car

I have the GT line and I love it it’s a fun sexy comfortable vehicle very good on gas and everywhere I go people always complement me I did a few changes

It’s a beautiful car that’s fun to drive, comfortable and gorgeous inside and out

I went with the sapphire blue.. Looks badass and the interior is sweet with comfortable leather seats and an IPad-sized display screen.

The car met all my needs, it’s smooth, has all the features that I need, big trunk, comfortable and has really surprisingly big leg room

Extremely smooth handling, comfortable ride.

feature

I ended up getting all the bells and whistes including the GT package with the racing seats, steering wheel, rims, moon roof, stereo, heated and cooling seats and steering wheel and more!!

This vehicle is well worth owning for the price and standard features.

The console is great has so many goodies not sure how to use them all yet.

Overall, as I rated it all 5 stars for the 6 features above, and it is definitely very well worth it, & I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a brand new Kia.

The Kia K5 is everything I wanted in a car it meets all of my needs and is so comfortable,it has so may options that have exceeded my expectations.

but my first Kia, decided on this when I saw their new K5 (formerly known as optima) when I test drove it I fell in love and this car has more features and more comfort as well as better looking over all than the competition

It has so many safety features that really sold me.

If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5!

The only thing I haven't been happy with is the type of material used in the interior it collects EVERYTHING!!

but that was for me I change my emblemsAnd I change the color of my interior I love this vehicle I recommend anybody to Lee’s go test drive this car I promise you you’re gonna want to leave out the car lot with it

the overall ride and how quiet it is has plenty of power and the interior is stylish and comfortable and it has plenty of cool tech

Major upgrade with the interior and design.

I have been enjoying the sunroof and beautiful interior!

I love this car overall great  time with it mine is blue with black inside

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,

brake

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.

It has a great sporty look and feels great in the road!! !

I always loved having a sports car, so when I got this I was pretty pleased.

I have the RS and it looks sporty inside and outside.

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

just love this car , I had a 2021 trail blazer lt  since October and just traded it in 3 days ago for the trail blazer rally sport , great looking suv .

The ride is good, it handles very well has plenty of power for a 1.3 turbo and the appearance is sporty.

This is a beautiful sporty SUV Trailblazer.

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.

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

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 Mazda CX-30

cargo

My only complaints are: The small cargo area with the back seats up, especially with the sharp angle of the upper part of the hatch gate.

It seems to be the majority opinion now that the Seltos is slightly better, because of (1) the larger room&#47;cargo space, (2) low-end torque, (3) more gadgets.

The rear cargo department is a bit small (even compared to my former Civic).

wheel

but trust me you’ll get over those things because the rest of the car is phenomenal and I couldn’t be happier with the car, I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off it.

That said,  I’m very happy behind the wheel of the car, and I haven’t been able to say that since before the kids came on the scene.

Second, it's crouse control doesn't work correctly if a car stopped in the road ( for example, behind the red light, it's never detecting it and the car just stopped with emergency brake.

but right out of the box I had troubles with rattles and now with the Smart Brake system locking the brakes up in normal stop &#38; go traffic.

The 6 speed transmission is seamless and the engine has lots of torque.

Great pickup speed, quiet and comfortable ride.

"look ahead "places your speed out in front  of you like it is riding above your hood.

The Sport switch moves you into a higher rpm range and is great for climbing steep hills.

In Sport mode, the car really gets the most out of its 2.5L engine.

YES it's sporty luxurious for turbo premium trim remind me smaller BMW

As I mentioned the Mazda cx-30 looks big and sporty.

It looks beautiful and sporty, the interior is easily functional for the driver and meets all my needs.

sporty, lots of safety features, well-made.

Interior - sharp, sporty , contrast stitching. My first Mazda (I'm very impressed)

Has safety goodies like the cross-traffic backup warning, blind spot, lane warning systems I like and need.

Brakes are extremely mushy, and the overall user experience while inside is higher quality, the total package is a let down.

Lots of power, comfort &#38; all the safety features you could ever want.

The safety and convenience features this car has are just incredible.

Great car to drive and many valuable features such as navigation.

It’s stylish, well appointed, had all the relevant safety features, and is as fast as you want to drive it.

For the price, you really get a lot of options and I'm enjoying the Mazda Connected services on my phone.

Great driving car and features, particularly safety features, without having to buy the Premium.

.I leased the CX-30 Premium model (the highest package until you get to the 2.5 premium plus) and was shocked to find that

Inside and out much like a premium brand like Volvo, BMW, Audi and a step above a Honda, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia.

The interior has a minimalistic, stylish feel.

Which takes room from the inside to reflect a modern sleek look on the out.

The stylish exterior and upscale looking interior pulled me in and the features made me feel like I wasn't stepping down from the luxury brand of my previous vehicles.

Best in class Elegant interior Quiet Handles like 3.Best awd system I've owned

The interior quality is remarkable, the dash design is intuitive and clean, and it is really fun to drive.

Just the car I wanted from the color to the interior and exterior features of it.

safety

I love having so many safety features, especially the bright headlights which make it so easy to drive at night or in the rain.

This is in addition  to all the standard safety equipment that you get with all models makes this a truly great value.

Is good for city driving with all the safety features.

This car is my first car and what i love about it is that its cute, has safety features, easy to use and prize is affordable.

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
