2022 Polestar 2

suspension

The adjustable Ohlins dampers and 20” forged wheels make the ride a bit stiff,

brake

The Polestar 2 is a thrill to drive and has lots of modern tech, as well as excellent safety performance (except the terrible emergency brake that is way too aggressive in reverse).

The bonus is having huge brake discs and 4 piston Brembo brakes if I ever need them.

leather

The leather seats wrinkle within the first month.

The build quality and finish, especially with the optional leather and wood trim I selected, really make the car feel luxurious.

acceleration

Acceleration is scary fast--it leaves my Boxster S in the dust!

Outstanding acceleration and ride quality, impressive power.

ride

I had the dealer dial them back to a moderate comfort setting and the ride and handling are sublime.

2022 Hyundai Kona N

The suspension is very firm, probably to make the car corner well while maintaining its compact-SUV ride height.

but don’t feel too stiff, and the leather/suede combination (I’m not sure if they’re real or imitation materials, but they feel great) is nice.

The car hugs the road and pulls out of corners like a traditional hot hatch, and the brakes are great.

And in maximum attack mode on back roads, it is an absolute delight,

I also enjoy the navigation system attaching to your phone so you never have to update the system.

It is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned after owning a string of great vehicles starting with a then-new 1968 Z28 Camaro.

But as far as pure driving joy for the money goes, look no further.

exhaust

The exhaust pops and snarls and crackles in sport mode which will either make you giggle like a kid or roll your eyes, maybe both.

Even in eco mode the exhaust has some nice notes.

I personally like to have everything cranked to the max other than the suspension, which I leave in its lowest setting, and the exhaust, which I keep in sport rather than sport +,

small-size

As a former GTI owner, the Kona N still has some of the same characteristics of the GTI and other hot hatchbacks of days gone by- a practical shape for folding down the rear seats and shoving in a bike or a dresser on occasion, a reasonably small footprint, and performance numbers that will shock people who judge cars by their badge.

It gives you all the versatility of a small SUV with all of the fun of a hot hatch.

It's small for storage, it's good for 2 on a road trip.

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.

I like how the battery motor will simulate engine "drive" mode when letting off brake.

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,

comfortable

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.

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.

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.

We need breaks sooner than the car requiring a recharge.

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.

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 Toyota Highlander

noise

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

The rest of the time I am on on a curvy road or swerving to avoid a pothole or a bicyclist.

So far it has performed well with a slight exception for the all wheel disk brakes.

I know how fast I can go around a curve and it will sometimes slam on the brakes pretty good.

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.

feature

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!

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

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 Kia Sorento Hybrid

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

audio-system

The back up system drives you crazy while going down the boat ramp

The exterior camera system and the park sense system both stopped working.

I LOVE the air suspension and how it will lift the body up depending on what mode you are in (and you can set manually the height) and then lowers to enable you to enter/exit the Jeep.

Until the vehicle and the boat are aligned the car will drive you crazy braking and even applying the parking brake for you!

The interior is true comfort and the Jeep brand has definitely thought of everything.

Looks nice, drives nice, super comfortable, love all the features

Jeep could get away with calling it a Jeep Gran Comfort vice Grand Cherokee.

The V-8 is powerful, the ride is so comfortable and the front  massage seats are wonderful on long drives.

The interior is the most silent and comfortable SUV ever.

interior

The quality of the interior is outstanding.

The active noise cancelling and high quality materials make for a limo like ride.

2022 Acura RDX

Sport Mode is fun to drive with SH-AWD and Adaptive Suspension.

Sport mode changes how the car handles, accelerates, brakes, the steering becomes more responsive, and handles the curves.

Really like it so far, interior is amazing when fully loaded!

I own a 2014 RDX and it is more luxurious than the newer interior.

cruise

Lots of convenience features like heated steering wheel, automatic dimming hi beams, adaptive cruise control, etc.

When the adaptive cruise control is set, the car keeps you centered in your lane.

2022 Kia Sorento

Interior is stylish & spacious and the ride is as nice as my Cadillac.

2022 Kia Telluride

transmission

but that vehicle has a horrible transmission (9-speed that failed at 30k miles).

In addition to high speed balancing tires, front axle replacement and bearings, drive train parts from transmission to rear axle, still no resolution.

It has a very sporty and stiff ride (for a 3-row SUV), yet also soaks up the bumps and holes.

I love the way it rides nice and comfortable.

The care rides smooth and quiet and has plenty of get up and go.

The comfort, the ride, the quiet cabin, the standard features, the captains seats in the second row, everything about it is the way I like my cars to be.

From styling, ride and value it can't be beat.

You'll see why people rate this car well when you ride it yourself.

The drive is smooth and quiet, and the internal features make you feel you’re riding in a spaceship.

We are enjoying the style, the ride is smooth, comfortable seats and good gas mileage.

I get lots of compliments on the Kia and people are surprised how nice it rides in the back.

Well-priced, nicely equipped, and unquestionably refined, the Telluride is the complete package.

More space, hold its value better, longer warranty, more features per dollar and flat out more than Lux SUVs.

The body style, features and interior design nice.

There is not one unnecessary option and they're all in the right places in/on the vehicle.

Easy to navigate even on skinny lanes, great handling, lots of features, room for a big family or lots of dogs.

Stylish and comfortable family transport.

The 2022 Telluride is comfortable, Quiet, responsive, roomie inside and economical for this size SUV.

The car is comfortable and drives nice other than that.

The car rides great, has sufficient power, and is very comfortable.

2021 Volkswagen Jetta

radio

The only thing I wish my base trim had compared to the top level Autobahn trim is the Sirius XM radio.

The radio does not have SiriusXM built in and without a 3.5 aux port there's no good way to add it.

Things I dislike about the Jetta SEL: the radio sometimes does not work.

gear

However, I don’t mind it turning off when shifting gear into park or waiting at stop light.

Adaptive cruise control occasionally stops working.

The JETTA GLI would be better since it has the 2.0L Turbo and rear independent suspension

Has a great back-up camera, anti-lock brakes, multi-control steering wheel, keyless entry just to name a few of the cars features.

Auto Hold is great for when you come to stop light and not have to press the brake pedal the whole time you’re stopped.

It's fabulous gas milage of 40 highway/ 30 mpg city driving, the 1.4 L Turbo charged engine makes it a peppy car.

The computer will dial it back if you run lower octane gas.

The fuel economy is going be far better than I expected, and I expected excellent economy.

It’s quiet on the highway, has plenty of pep around town and gets great gas mileage.

It's fun to drive, great on gas, looks great and is very comfortable.

Handles nice, rides nice, great on fuel,  nice trunk space.

Super nice technology supreme  highly recommended to buy it has all you what on a car sport elegant and fuel efficiency car to keep for many years

It's very comfortable to drive, gets excellent fuel mileage.

turbo

So there is really no turbo lag around town.

This is a good compact&#47;midsize sedan it’s really reliable and fun to drive one that 1.4 and turbo combine together , super torquey from factory

also love the turbo charge and the way it handels.i would recommend this car to any one I know

room

It has more room in the backseat then my 2013 VW CC and drives very similarly.

There is plenty of space for your whole family along with trunk space for days.

Having driven a Beetle for 3 years, I appreciate the space that the Jetta provides.

2021 Tesla Model Y

Took in for service which was a terrible experience when I went in everything worked after leaving have a loud rattle above passenger side window and the bluetooth is gone.

With no engine noise I expected to hear more road and wind noise
