2022 Volkswagen Taos

transmission

The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic.

I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome.

The DSG transmission is a very poor choice for this vehicle.

The transmission is a bit laggy from a start

but until the embarrassing 7-speed transmission gets addressed, I wouldn't recommend the Taos to someone.

The only negative comments I have is about the transmission.

but the uneven power delivery is a hazard and I would warn others to avoid the AWD version until a future time when VW either fixes this condition or uses a different transmission in the next version.

lights

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

I purchased this in January and at only 4000 miles has been to the dealer multiple times for stop start stalling, EPC code, check engine light and other electronic issues.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

tire

All wheel drive and we added Micheline tires.

pressure

Quick, easy, no pressure, equals a beautiful car.

ride

but gained AWD, way more passenger space for family and friends and a more comfortable riding position for when I feel like running about.

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.

It has a very comfortable ride (a little on the firmer side) and it handles very well for a CUV.

Nice balance between sportiness, efficiency, noise, & ride.

It's a very compact car, I find that the passenger seat ride is okay - I have a baby-seat in the rear that only allows for so much room in front-passenger seat

It’s a comfortable ride and easy to maneuver.

The car is beautiful on the outside and such a smooth ride.

Acceleration is not bad, better in Sport mode, ride is good, and handling surprisingly nimble.

comfortable

The soft touch makes resting the elbow more comfortable,

Sporty stylish exterior and technology-packed interior with loads of room and extremely comfortable seats.

On our first road trip we averaged almost 42 MPG in great comfort and safety.

Interior is extremely comfortable for 4, w/ lots of luggage space.

but nice, and the seats are super comfortable.

room

I'm 6'6" and I fit quite comfortably inside, plenty of head, leg, and knee room!

Great fuel economy, handles like a sports car and plenty of room on the in the cabin.

but, you should not need to push the seat back for basic foot room.

I'm 6'4, and I have ample leg and head room.

2022 Cadillac CT5

The heads-up display is great and I've configured the dashboard to monitor things I want like tire pressure and coolant temperature (among many other possible things).

audio-system

Premium Luxury gave me all the options I could want including a 15 speaker Bose system.

engine

I have the bigger engine 3.0 V-6 and there’s plenty of power and the ride is excellent.

We have the twin-turbo engine and, as advertised, it accelerates well.

feature

2022 BMW 330e

So far so good no problems, the 19 inch tires lose about a 1 psi a week.

2021 Ford Ranger

I did notice that the tires were over inflated from the factory and reducing them to recommended pressure really improved the ride.

The big tires, cool wheels, awesome color inside and out.

The interior is surprisingly quiet and the 32” tires on the road are well mannered.

I love all the safety features (back-up camera, blind spot detection, collision detection) plus the conveniences of remote start (from key or phone), heated seats, rain-detection windshield wipers, navigation, etc.

but for the off-road capabilities and the luxury features of the Lariat package is a win&#47;win for me.

I purchased the Tremor package, which has slightly better interior with the ability to customize the truck with off road equipment.

If you need a truck and want to still be able to drive in the city and park, this is your best option!

It has all the options i was looking for.

It was really a tough choice as all trim levels and packages have a lot to offer, making the final decision for options challenging.

Enjoy the technology features and consider the safety to be excellent.

power

I was very impressed with the ride, handling, and power of the 2021.

Four cylinder engine seems to have plenty or power.

This truck has more than enough power and is easy on fuel.

Comfort, economy, performance and ease of parking and maneuverability.

Very comfortable driving it 
I have always wanted a truck and this one is perfect!

The Tremor interior is very comfortable and the seats are very nice.

The front is very comfortable, works well with my iPhone connected, is zippy when I hit the gas and is a good looking vehicle.

Comfortable, affordable, beautiful and reliable!

2021 Toyota 4Runner

I added bigger tires so it's a great family vehical that  Performs offroad as well.

Cannot get a TRD Pro with KDSS, so save your money if you plan on changing tires and wheels on a Pro.

Could not be happier with this vehicles 4x4 system (tires factor in as well).

The premium rides nice and has enough power.

love the ride    It is a good car very reliable.

Ride is sporty and resilient in the turns,

It has plenty of legroom in the front and back .The ride is good love it , Compare to other cars that i tested

was surprised that a 4x4 can actually give you a comfortable ride.

Smooth ride on road and great off road capability.

The 4Runner is comfortable to drive, comfortable to ride in, and is about the same size as the luxury SUV's I used to own.

This car met all of my needs.It’s plenty of legroom in the front and back,the ride is great compared to other cars I tested.It has 3 USB ports

Whether I am driving off-road or on the highway this has been the most comfortable vehicle I have ever been in.

Really comfortable and built like a tank.

After my wife being a Jeep Girl for many, many years, she is coming around to the interior space, comfortable ride, and more power out of this machine.

The ride is comfortable and not abusive and I have no complaints!

Very comfortable, the controls and media of it are great, it’s intuitive and plenty of space for my kids and dogs.

The design is nice, very roomy, comfortable interior and ride is great .

NAV has greatly improved as have safety features .

Other than that, this SUV is the total package

but very functional as an SUV with Hill Start and Crawl feature.

Color works well, interior features are good, handles well in snow and ice as well as dry conditions.

The car has all the features I required and more.

2021 Subaru Outback

Then they have the motor shutoff for when we stop at stop signs - we can only disable it right after we start the car every time.

The engine shut off is about gotten me hit twice when I was nearly clipped in intersections.

For the most part I really like the car has a couple things about it I don't like I don't like the thing to shut the engine off every time you stop personally I don't use the cruise control where it'll drive itself and I get mad at it sometimes when it talks to me tells me to keep my eyes on the road

Only regret is not having the Turbo engine because it can be a little sluggish getting away from traffic lights.

But when it comes to an emergency, the 4 cylinder engine will fail you every time.

As many others have pointed out, the mileage has never been close to what is advertised, and the engine start&#47;stop is very rough.

I HATE the jerkiness of how the engine restarts at stop lights.

engine should shut off when stopped at proper setting

The engine shut down/stert up is abrupt as it says in many reviews, acceleration and shifting isn’t as smooth as the civic with a CVT,

I really hate the automatic engine shut off.

Coming from a VW Golf Alltrack - a lifted AWD wagon just a bit smaller - the steering is nowhere as quick, the mileage is not as good and the transmission is nowhere near as responsive as the DSG in the Golf.

Was prepared to be disappointed with the CVT transmission

The single biggest issue is the standard engine&#47;transmission package.

noise

The seat belt buzzer goes off immediately when you start the car so even if you're just rolling your car into your garage have to put up with that blurring noise.

but as soon as I got it home, I realized there was a very loud rattle above the driver's head.

My previous Outback had absolutely no rattles or squeaks,

but things like seat adjustments and cooling fans can be noisy.

gear

Better transmission and gear ratio spacing would go a long way.

Horrible leak in the front, large puddles of water in floorboard and under mat on passenger side next to gear shift.

small-size

4- Given the size of the car, the interior storage is not that good- the glove box and center console are tiny, the door pockets are too small and styling seems to have taken precedence over function.

This makes for poor protection agains small particles that hit the windshield when driving down the highway (I can't imagine how you can drive down an unpaved road without a problem).

Only negative for me on interior design is accessing the phone charging area, difficult location of the CD player and much smaller size door pockets as compared to my 2017 Outback.

Mechanically, this is a nice car: good gas mileage, comfortable, good 4WD capability.

Comfortable ride, lots of power, good handling, perfect size.

It is comfortable, reliable, and quite safe to drive.

There are many things I love about the car including the look, comfort, quality of the materials, 4wd with great gas mileage, integrated cross bars and how safe you feel when driving in bad weather.

The waterproof fabric covering the seats is very comfortable and seems to be wearing well.

The exterior of the car looks nice and the seats are very comfortable,

First the positives - the car is comfortable and can carry a large load of luggage and bikes.

The failed electronics for voice recognition, driver recognition, radio, and phone are killing the joy of the ride.

No one rides with me, which makes the car too large and long.

The car has a very comfortable ride and is fairly quiet.

Or sometimes it recognizes you when you get in and then forgets about you somewhere along the ride and by the time you get to your destination.

Smooth ride, quiet, lots of active monitoring systems.

but it drives easily and rides comfortably .

It is so well built, solid, safety features are outstanding and very enjoyable to drive.

Has more luxury features  (in touring trim) than my BMW for a lot less money.

The cruise control feature is nice because the car will automatically slow down.

There’s plenty of leg room , so comfortable and has great safety features that you would love.

There are lots of convenient features including plenty of safety features and lots of space.

The Onyx features black exterior trim components and rims for more style.

Needed something comfortable to drive with all of the necessary safety features as well as having enough power to tow my ATV.

It has all of the features of a luxury vehicle.

I love all the security features added to the Outback: I had a 2013 Outback which I loved

On a smooth flat road the ride is very comfortable and on the freeway I like the lane centering feature that my other one didn't have.

2021 Ford F-250

Mines a super duty fx4 and it rides like a lumber wagon with square wheels unless I take the tire pressure down to 40psi.

The interior is great and very comfortable!

The interior space is comfortable and large enough to bring extra technicians, equipment or supplies.

Comfortable and powerful for all my towing needs.

but this one is the most comfortable and a smooth ride for a diesel.

More room and more comfortable than an F150 with a ton more towing power.

This truck is a Tremor package and it is really great.

It has all the features of a luxury car with the performance of a big truck.

Truck is very nice with King Ranch package.

diesel

although not as thrilling as the 6.7L diesel in our 2020 F-350, is responsive and provides plenty of power to haul anything we need to do our job.

Acceleration is unbelievable with this diesel.

Plenty of torque and overall towing power in the diesel configuration.

2021 Subaru Forester

Road noise seemed pronounced to me in around town driving.

Lincolns don't have this included even and you only care when you need it so this is piece of mind
+Minimal cabin noise during highway driving, excess of 75 or really windy you can experience some wind noise

+Panoramic moon roof 
+Visibility is incredible, being tall, I can almost see to the very front of the car with front view angle
+Tons of storage, seriously there is a ton of room for a family with gear and even room in the spare tire department which has a foam insert to keep personal belongings separate from the tire and such so things don't take on new tire smell
+Rear hatch privacy shade to hide your goods
+Spare, tow hooks, and jack are all included.

I find the acceleration very responsive when I apply smooth steady pressure to the gas pedal.

Fit and finish are exceptionally good and the cabin, while not super fancy, is quiet and comfortable.

This Forrester Touring has similar comfort

It is a very comfortable car and very quiet.

Those who have rode in the back find it very comfortable and enjoy that the seating height is higher than in front giving them a great view ahead.

but the car has all of the features we need, great room front and back and great comfort.

Love the handling, seating comfort, sound system - great car!

This car meets my needs of comfort seating, leg room,
Traveling space and room for grandkids!

I feel super safe, comfortable, and current with all the available new tech.

Outside features are very nice except the looks.

The handling, safety features, styling, and technology are all on point.

I have the Limited version, it has all the amenities I could ask for.

It has amazing safety features as well as ease of entry.

This SUV meets all our needs and gives features that we didn't even expect Being older drivers the safety and driver assist allow us to feel very safe behind the wheel.

The suite of safety features is complete - lane departure, auto braking to emergency stop, adaptive cruise.

The amount of storage is excellent, and with all of the safety features I've never felt more secure on the road.

safety

Reliability, dependability, safety, quality and fuel economy for a full time AWD vehicle.

Subi knows their value and I think they care about the customer and their safety first, everything else falls in place because of that.

Besides the outside appearance, is the safety of the vehicle.

2021 Ford F-150

They don"t seem like a good tire for driving on snow and ice in NEPA.

The buying process was easy with no pressure!

The comfort and versatility are exceptional.

The seats are more comfortable than the 19.

Very comfortable to drive and great MPG for a 1&#47;2 ton truck.

I needed a comfortable ride with good towing capacity, navigation, and safety features.

Ery comfortable seat and great dash board disply with an 8 in screen .

Seats are comfy, has more than enough space in the vehicle, jas tons of power and drives smoothly.

I believe this truck will be more than I expected  It is comfortable.

Love the comfort and smooth ride
Lots of room inside, seats are to die for.

I like the spray on bed liner and pro power generator.

I had some issues with the optional POWER GENERATOR,..and apparently, it's now fixed!?

I’m getting 23 miles per gallon in every day driving and the power of the 3.5 liter Powerboost engine is quite impressive.

The power and off the line acceleration is remarkable.

Between the capability, MPG, power, luxuries, and style.

This truck has plenty of power and very reliable.

It has plenty of power
And looks as good as it runs

It's roomy and very comfortable with a nice smooth ride.

It has great pick-up, good gas mileage, and rides comfortably.

The ride is very comfortable and 10 speed shifts smoothly.

2021 Ford Escape

large-size

The Escape is more powerful, comfortably bigger, a bit plusher, better towing than the 2018 EcoSport I'm coming from.
