2019 Infiniti Q50

suspension

I do find that the Dunlop runflats give a rough ride when cold in the morning.

It feels like the car is literally riding on the steel sidewalls and heaven forbid you hit a pothole or a small curb.

I've had over 30 BMW's and when I test drove one after driving the Redsport, the Bimmer felt stiff and uncomfortable.

brake

The Q50s Red 400 has offset stitching throughout interior, red brake calibres, dual turbo/V-6 and all the electrical options you can think of.

The brakes are super strong, and very impressive. 6.

The akibono red brake calipers with the gunmetal 19 inch infinity wheels comes standard with the red sport and makes the cars appeal pop.

Otherwise, the acceleration is great, the sound system is wonderful, the brakes are still working terrific, and the vehicle looks wonderful.

sporty

It’s sporty, it’s classy, it’s everything.

Comes with nicer black chrome wheels and sport seats.

Runs smooth and love how comfortable and sporty this car is.

Dollar for dollar, you would be hard pressed to find a car that can compete with the Red Sport 400.

Had and I35 (2003), M35X (2006), Q60 Red Sport (2015) and now a RED Q50 Red Sport (2019).

I have the red sport model and it is fantastic!

Very fun to drive and a great value for the $$$.

Leased Car in March 2019 and while I have only 16.5K on the Odometer, the car has been an absolute pleasure to drive.

but none were as much fun to drive as the Infiniti Q50.

It drives smooth and has many features we enjoy.

comfortable

Seats are comfortable and sound system is great.

The Q50  RED S rides nice and is comfortable.

Interior is comfy with a fair amount of legroom and a decent amount of  trunk space.

Car is very comfortable and quiet, decent size trunk.

Comfortable, spacious, steers great, and has good acceleration.

Seats are more comfortable, seat belts around the shoulder area is a better design (does not dig into your neck) and the 360 degree camera and blind spot indicator are great.

We have had several Infiniti products over the years and find them to be very solid and comfortable.

2019 Mazda CX-9

The driver aids work great and the interior is very hushed unless you encounter rough pavement.

Love the smooth and relatively quick acceleration, low noise level, and comfortable suspension.

The chassis and suspension deliver exceptional handling and a quiet ride overall.

5)	Rides well – takes bumps very nicely and is, for the most part, quiet inside.

The ride is still very comfortable and bumps are absorbed nicely.

Blind spot monitor, lane departure and brake assist.

This feature holds the brake down at red lights so you can rest your driving foot.

Driving in the cruise control mode is great, slows down automatically if someone breaks or slows down infront of you.

Love everything about this vehicle, ride, comfort, style, performance and price.

What a pleasure to drive in this comfortable, (in our opinion) fashionable, functional and solid car!

It is very comfortable to drive, and enjoyed owning this vehicle twice.

I love it drive smooth , plenty of leg room, very roomie , great on gas mileage, love the sound system sounds great ,  the seat so comfortable.

my daughter is 4’ 9”and she was just as comfortable as her hairy monkey man oo oo ah ah who is 5’10”.

Kids have plenty of room to be comfortable,

The car rides very smooth, and gives a comfortable ride.

The third row is more comfortable than many other SUVs.

Lots of bells & whistles, comfortable to drive, performs well and doesn't feel like a big, heavy SUV.

feature

Handles really well and has more safety features than the Lexus RX 350 It replaced.

Drives great, great performance , feels solid on the road, safety feature ar great too

Safety features are excellent now that I have a student driver.

Inside feels upscale and it has lots of tech and safety features.

My eyes are off the road 10 times more to check if proper option is selected via the control knob.

It has all the modern technology and safety features!!

I would recommend the CX-9 for anyone who would like the handling and features of a luxury SUV without the big price tag

interior

The interior is really gorgeous and receives compliments at this price point.

The Signature edition has a lovely interior overall.

Drives great; interior finish is luxury standard; exterior design is catchy; trunk room is short compared to rivals; and infotainment system is slow

Exterior and interior styling is incredible.

Love the body style and interior as well!!

The interior is also beautifully well done and all the controls are conveniently located.

2019 Hyundai Veloster

The dash and steering wheel makes me feel like I am on top of the road and the sport suspension is amazing.

I read EVERY review I could absorb,and ALL the praise included the interior.

but a very well tuned suspension and superior electronics, safety features, entertainment and nav system more than make up for a few missing ponies.

The safety systems are amazing, with the forward collision warning saving me multiple times, especially with people in austin loving to brake check.

It has great brakes with a big initial bite and zero fade, great turn in and on center feel, its flickable, and

My favorite feature is the adaptive cruise control that slow you down w/o having to brake and will than speed you back up when traffic gets moving again.

Great car for the price, plenty of power with the turbo fun to drive and great on gas.

This car for the money is the best in build quality, driving fun, and affordability.

the Veloster N, for the fun and engaging time you will have driving it, when you're behind the wheel you wont be concerned with anything except where you can find some curvy roads.

It looks great and is so much fun to drive I can’t hardly stand it

Fun To drive plenty of features  and very economical.

It's so much fun zipping around, not to mention it just looks so cool.

The 2019 Veloster Turbo R Spec is just as much fun to drive,and has been tweaked for performance.

I bought my RSpec and it is a great all around fun car to drive.

I enjoy it a lot and like the three-door feature.

but now they've broken into the fun part of the market.

Ignition sound
3. sun roof
4. collision system
5. three drive mode (normal, sport, and economy)
6.

even though it is a FWD car, it can oversteer if you set the ESC to Sport +, it feels like a rear wheel drive car.

It has a three mode transmission which has a sport mode, normal mode, and smart mode for the freeway.

Not a family vehicle, and as with many sports cars does have alot of road noise.

but looks like a coupe and the exterior looks like a sports car

The vehicle design itself is just very sporty and sharp.

I forgot how much I missed a sports car to zip around town in.

In "Sport" mode the car is amazingly responsive and downright quick.

I love this feature so much, it allows me not to melt in my car once I step in.

The safety features and blue link are great!

Since the RSpec is basically loaded to start, all the features are excellent.

Overall it's a nice car with a lot of perks.

It looks great and has a lot of neat features.

I love all of the features from the heated seats to the infinity sound system.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N with performance package.

I love everything about this car and also has plenty of room for packages and luggage.

It s comfortable for such a small looking package.

2019 Subaru Forester

engine

I also do not like the auto engine cutoff when you stop it traffic.

I also do not like the fact that you cannot permanently disable the engine stop&#47;start feature,

I do like the engine turning off during stop lights, or traffic jams.

The only things I’d change on this vehicle are the windshield which is prone to cracks&#47;chips more than most cars and a stronger engine or add a turbo for towing&#47;acceleration (but goodbye great MPG).

but within specified parameters,

Alarm light flashes when engine is off, whether or not the car is locked, leaving you guessing if it is locked - irritating, 

On start the radio (sound) turns on, whether or not it was on at shutoff - irritating.

It took 4 trips to the dealer and a call to Subaru of America in New Jersey to there Tech center to discover that it was a random problem, and they had just found out what was causing it, now i had 2 new motors put in already.

The Auto on/off feature that is supposed to save gas while stopped can never really figure out when to consistently engage/disengage leaving you constantly wondering what the engine is going to do next.

As the Pro Reviewer here wrote; the auto start&#47;stop feature is akin to a drunkard who cannot decide which bar to enter next, it is just constantly confused about its own job, engine on or off.

but I will give them credit where it's due: they have mated an excellent engine and transmission, so I am just not sure I would have chosen anything different (but the option for a turbo would be a great addition to next year's line up!

The only thing I don’t like is the automatic engine shut off at a ligh we’ve had the car for a few months now and both my wife and I are very happy with it.

noise

If that isn't enough the EYESIGHT and myriad other "safety" features will bark, whine, whistle, scream, and rattle your nerves to death literally every trip.

I would give this car 5 stars if it did not have a CVT transmission , a 6 or 8 speed conventional automatic would reduce engine noise when accelerating.

The engine sounds taxed when accelerating and a bit noisy.

but yes there is definitely some road/engine noise.

The car seems extremely sensitive to any wind and drag from larger vehicles next to you, and the wind noise is very loud.

windshield

The replacement windshields are also around $1,000.

We bought the 2019 Forested less than 2 months ago in mid July 2019 at 500 miles the windshield cracked from driver side to middle of the passenger side.

Wind shield wipers needed to be fixed the first weekend I owned the car.

After driving it for 1 week a small rock hit the windshield.

radio

Great gas mileage, never have any issues other than a few radio issues here and there.

lets fast forward to  today it's in for the presets on the radio clearing every time car is shut off, apparently a software flaw.

I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE RADIO IN IT AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN.

Everything is great except for the radio and gas mileage could be better.

but if you switch to the radio it will not see the phone again
You can plug it in to android auto but it still will not make or receive calls.

tank

only a couple of concerns, the cup holders are too far back and difficult to reach for the driver and the gas tank is on the passenger side.

This system makes the brakes sound like the front gun of an A-10 Warthog (the Air Forces Tank Buster).

The miles left on the tank gauge bounces around wildly and is pretty unreliable.

Better suspension, better headlights, throttle response finally improved.

They are hard, the leather is stiff, the back has sides that do not fit back well.

Plusses: Space, seeing out of the car, tremendous ride over potholes, steering, amazing seat comfort in back & front, back reclines too.

The ride is smooth and buffers the potholes in PA well.

The Auto On/Off is rough and you must disengage it every time you start the vehicle.

The EMERGENCY braking system will unload itself and smash its own brakes.

Then when the traffic started flowing again, the Forester released the brake and started accelerating up to the flow of traffic.

Car meets my needs for utility and comfort, good pep for 4 cyl., great for safety assists such as backup camera, rear/forward brake assist, rear cross traffic alerts, blind spot sensors, etc.

When it does, the car immediately starts back up when you ease off the break.

I've never had a car that the window breaks in half over a tiny rock chip, and don't think that you're going to get a replacement easily.

2019 Subaru ForesterTouring - So many safety features, "all wheel" drive, fit and finish is top of the line, audio system is below par, value is better than almost any car on the market, white is the best color for the market.

They should do away with the start/stop feature!

Industry leading safety features add to the appeal of the SUV.

Fantastic safety features with cameras and mirrors and sensors for me, an aging driver.

Great safety features are part of the base price.

In fact, I liked it so much I went back and traded it in for an upgraded package with the ‘20 Forester Touring.

Although, the backseat is roomy and comfortable.

Front seats are comfortable for both long and short drives.

It’s quite comfortable even on long road trips.

The ride is very comfortable and it is easy to see out while driving.

Good gas mileage- comfortable for extended trips out of town.

It handles well in snow and is comfortable to drive.

great visibility - comfortable - handles fantastic - feel very confident in NY winter weather, have driven Foresters for last 3 cars - wouldn't drive anything else

I feel both safe and comfortable in them.

safety

I was so excited to be buying my 1st NEW vehicle and had spent 8 months researching as safety was a huge priority having 4 kids.

There are many other safety features that are standard now on the Forester.

There are a ton of safety feature alarms on the car so alarms are constantly beeping at you which is annoying and distracting.

Great chair- love all the safety features- especially cruise.

Great safety features and is fun to drive.

2018 Toyota Camry

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

but wonder how long it will stay that way. RATTLES.

Mostly quiet some wind noise on the highway Good highway gas mileage.

Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible:  Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!)

transmission

but at some speeds there is some throttle lag and I've assumed that is again transmission related, again new it before purchasing.

The only complaint I have is the transmission; I have noticed the car up shifts prematurely to obviously save on gas.

The transmission was wonky and started to slip pretty bad

The manner in which the continuous variable transmission is programmed causes the car to hesitate, sometimes a lot, and other times not at all.After visiting various owners forums, I’ve discovered that this is a very common complaint about this vehicle.

When we purchased it, shift points were grossly wrong.

I wish I took it for a test drive.so far no luck with the dealer ship.tells me that's  how it is supposed  to shift.

the transmission, first off, I hate the 8 speed setup, it is constantly wanting to downshift, it is pretty much impossible to cruise in 8th gear at above 60 MPH, unless you are going downhill.

but I’m rather impressed by the engine and transmission performance.

Transmission shifts beautifully when using it manually, or when it?s left on automatic.

Will occasionally produce a huge jolt when shifting from park to reverse.

gear

Currently have 50k and seems like it 3rd 4th 5 the gear will vibrate bad at 40-55 miles and hour.

except the car isn't changing gears at this point.

Biggest complaint is that car seems to have trouble shifting into gear from as you begin to accelerate from 0- 15mph.

The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible thing.

The get up and go from Toyota?s new 2.5L is surprising to say the least, the 8 speed automatic transmission shifts smooth and doesn?t have issues with searching for gears on inclines like many other sedans I?ve driven.

The transmission is horrible, shifting into higher gears too soon and requiring significant amounts of throttle to downshift and then, only after the transmission ?thinks?

My only drawback is it hesitates a little stepping on the gas dropping into a lower gear.

The 301hp engine while very powerful and responsive at higher gears and speeds, it is unfortunately somewhat sluggish off the line unless manually shifting.

failure

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

The radio does not stay on after you turn the car off, this is a huge deal.

to use radio you have to download and install software.

It is even difficult to tune the radio or to change the display.

I just wish the radio station selection was easier for the driver.

I ASSUMED it came with CD and XM radio..  NO it doesn't!!!

Cons of the car consist of a horrid Entune system that requires your phone to be connected to the car to play pandora/IHeart radio.

Specifically, it doesn't support the following apps, all fully supported by Android Auto: Google Maps, Waze, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Tunein Radio, as well as several messaging, audio book, and podcast apps.

This car meets all of my needs and wants (except for no CD player or SIRIUS radio).

The 300 horsepower, 19 inch wheels, low profile tires, (I know, a con above), and sports tuned suspension put this car quite a few a notches above being a boring grocery getter.
