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Outdated navigation and interactive system.

turbo

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.

turn-handling

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

Even at high speeds, this little truck eats up the curves like a more expensive luxury vehicle.

engine

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

Acceleration ok at best given engine size.

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.

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 Subaru Outback

navigation

With my vehicle it was that the voice activation of the nav and search systems simply didn't work.

Unfortunately the infotainment screen is laggy and shuts off randomly shutting down everything except the engine,, safety systems, radio, gps, ac are all used through the laggy screen.

Infotainment can be a little touchy, wish nav used Google maps.

Electronics are consistently awful, from the (not really) voice-activated navigation to the slow, finicky touch-screen that controls nearly everything.

button is almost impossible to find&#47;use. The voice-activated navigation is unreliable - try entering a local address and the system responds "Would you like to navigate to the center of Lenox Iowa?"

Electronics are awful - voice navigation pretty much impossible to use; touch screen very slow to react; some

The infotainment system can be a little confusing (mainly around profile management),

cons: HORRIBLE dash system, get RID OF the Screen!

I really do not understand all the reviews with hatred for the touch pad&#47;infotainment system, in fact for me it is a high point of the car!

failure

Subaru driver recognition works sometimes and in a repair order they say it’s designed to fail.

The electronics are annoying, faulty and poorly designed.

voice-command

transmission

The cvt transmission is awful, sucking the life out of the engine.

The Wilderness is quicker off the line, faster overall, with much smoother shifts from the revised transmission, with little body roll compromise when cornering at speed.

The CVT transmission is the worst ever - jumpy, jerky, and unable to match power requirements to transmission gearing.

This model has the turbo engine where you sacrifice gas mileage for performance especially if you live in mountain states.

The turbo engine had an outrageous amount of power making it excellent for passing cars and climbing elevation.

It accelerates better due to the turbo engine and is more comfortable inside.

And with the XT trim and the turbo 2.4 one of the quickest.

The Outback Touring XT has a rough-sounding turbo engine coupled to a jerky, inconsistent CVT transmission that makes smooth starts impossible.

With the turbo, it is just as quick as any other car, and never have to worry about power.

The turbo engine is rough, especially under acceleration.

The 2.4 turbo engine is noisy and rough-sounding, and only smooth at highway speed.

Try going around a corner using driver assist to get a idea of how a ping pong ball feels.

The best is cars turning Radius! Awesome.

Seat heater, can't turn it on from the screen, have to hit it, open another screen and then click again.

It rides incredible and handles beautifully too.

It gives you so much confidence as you enter the curves.

comfortable

Very safe, comfortable and nice car to drive.

Altho the cloth seats could be more comfortable, love everything else except the car shutting off at stops.

The vehicle was highly rated and is very comfortable,

This is the nicest riding most comfortable car I have ever owned.

The seats may very well be the most comfortable I've ever had in a car.

There are some positives: the seats are very comfortable and the ride is good.

ride

pros: Smooth ride, pretty quiet interior, nice seats, sound system is good.

Ride is great , gas mileage is 33mpg and Subaru reliability
 Really love this car and we feel so safe in it .

safety

The luxury and safety of the Subaru is unmatched for the price.

you need all the safety stuff because your always looking down.

however, beyond comfort, the excellent ‘safety’ rating was impressive to each of us.

However, I dare you to find another car that offers so much standard safety features.

Great styling, safety features and lots of space for transporting gear or shopping items.

My 2022 Outback Touring with Java Brown Nappa interior is simply the best yet, with Eyesight Technology and all of the safety features, e.g., Lane Keeping, Adaptive Cruise Control & Blind Spot Monitoring etc.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

port

Even using USB cable to connect Android Auto, the system has a hard time maintaining connection at 50&#37; of the time.

I was advised the items: tonneau cover, bed lights and electric cord in bed will take 3 to 4 months till dealers will be in stock. Bummer

heat/air-control

At night switch’s climate controls from whatever you have it set on to defrost and fogs windows up.

While driving the dual wet clutch transmission went into neutral while on a highway.

lane-assist

Even the SEL has electric seat adjustment, tilt steering wheel, heated seats, backup assistance, lane assist, blind spot and other alerts.

but the blind spot warning and various camera modes offset the issues.

child

Loved being the first to show this baby off.

I would never recommend it to a family with children.

Super vehicle I love it..I never owned turbo in my life. Lol

Better gas mileage, even with the turbo and uses regular gas.

With the 2.5L turbo, it’s got a ton of power and is really fun to drive on winding backroads.

Turbo lag is minimal and 6.3 to 60 is reasonably quick.

As for driving, the 4 cylinder turbo was nice,

It handles exceptionally well in all kinds of weather.

Beautiful Vehicle (turns heads) and is very economical great on gas if you drive it gently.

As others have said, be prepared to turn heads and have others ask you about it.

Tech is very good and it turns heads wherever I go.

It's fun and easy to drive and really turns heads.

It’s really fun to drive with tons of power, great handling and is super quiet.

Really pleased so far -- handles very competently, feels planted and competent in cornering, and has good acceleration and braking.

It’s surprisingly fun to drive with good handling.

), this vehicle also has the characteristics of a crossover and&#47;or SUV with its low profile, handling abilities, compact size, and evidently the price tag.

This is nearly the quality, comfort and full performance value of a BMW or Audi - which I have owned the X3 and the Q5.

Very comfortable, great for my work purpose, wish it got better gas mileage.

I absolutely love it - it’s comfortable, handles well, the bed is really useful and the gas mileage is pretty good.

A recent 300 mile day trip confirmed that the seats are comfortable and well padded.

It drives like an SUV, it’s smooth, fairly quiet, and comfortable, and at the end of the day, I can haul most anything I need outside of professional construction equipment.

The car drives great and the comfort and concept of it are outstanding.

We love this trucklet, it's my wifes fav car ever, plenty of power and very comfy, low wind noise and bed comes in handy, mpg not super

it's very comfortable and with a power driver's seat & tilt/telescoping steering wheel you would have to be a one armed monkey if you can't find a sweet spot.

I’d love something a bit more rugged and fun to look at.

Fun to drive, the gas mileage is good at 25 MPG.

I've only had it just over a month, and it is just a fun, smooth riding little yard waste hauler.

but has a bed that's really useful for all the wet stuff when I go kayaking, as well as for other messy fun outdoor sports stuff.

feature

Since I will not utilize the full capabilities of the Truck like features of the Maverick - I LOVE THE SC for the SUV qualities, along with the hard tonneau covered back truck bed; it's the "type" of vehicle I have been wanting for a long time ever since I visited Brazil and Colombia and witnessed the variety of small trucks in those 2 countries.

Overall, I don’t think there’s a more versatile option.

I'm now spoiled by the safety features and large touch screen.

All the goodies you can imagine and a great warranty.

Comes with all the tech and safety features I want and it's VERY well made.

I have the SEL which has all the features I need without overloading the vehicle or my ability to operate it safely.

Super comfort, nice features, the AWD-i system works nice on my everyday snow road… the bed isn’t huge,

The safety features are great and the truck bed is surprisingly useful despite its small size.

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.

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.

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

As far as comfort is concerned, we have been happy with the ride and handling.

All the controls are user friendly and well thought out.

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

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 .

This has everything you could want on a SUV, we are retired and were looking for something with good gas mileage and a very comfortable ride.

2022 Genesis GV70

tank

The fuel tank is only 18 gal so just under 400mi per fill.

The gas tank is pretty small, only a gallon larger than my previous Honda Accord, and with such a powerful engine, you can get under 300 miles on a full tank which isn't the best.

fuel

The only con I can identify at the moment is the fuel efficiency.

Lastly, the gas consumption &#38; mileage isn't the best.

Premium gas is required as it is twin turbocharged,

Love my 3.5 turbo sport prestige package.

The power from the 3.5 twin turbo is smooth, sneaky fast and coupled with a good 8 speed transmission always on point.

The turn signal with camera activates a screen view on the dashboard.

but with that comes great handling and style, I traded a Audi Q7 without batting an eye . .

I expected a little better, tighter handling than it has,

Buttery smooth acceleration &#38; down shifts, superb cabin noise isolation, adaptive and smooth handling--it puts it's German rivals that are at and even above it's price range to complete shame.

but it's amazing that it takes turns by itself. Crazy.

interior

The car is quiet, responsive, comfortable, sporty, gorgeous inside and out, and feels very sure-footed in inclement weather.

I love the design, inside and out, fit and finish is Mercedes quality, and the tech is first class.

Wife loves elegance of interior and sound system.

So quiet on the inside and sound system is great.

I wish Genesis GV70 would offer heads-up display and heated rear seats in lesser packages, like the 2.5T Advanced, and offer the Beige interior with more gloss light exterior colors, like with the Savile Silver or Brunswick Green.

Nice finish inside and out,  and a great bang for the buck.

The interior is luxurious, the performance stunning and the tech element is out of this world.

I have been driving it for a week now and even my family and friends have been impressed with this inside and out.

It has fantastic exterior and interior styling, smooth yet quick 3.5TT engine, and all the bells and whistles to keep you excited to drive it ever time you get in.

The options and amenities Genesis included in this vehicle is amazing.

AND the best part is the safety features!

Especially like the excess of heads up safety features .

But after seeing this car in person and driving it, I think it has more style, more features, more luxury, and more power than the competition.

For the same price or less, I can move into the others and have all the features that I wanted.

This a beautiful and luxurious vehicle with all the sporty and up greated features, as any suv on the market.

On top of all that it's exceptionally functional: all the safety features you can ask for, it can borderline drive itself, has remote and smart park features, and comes with Hyundai&#47;Genesis' unbeatable warranty and maintenance.

The tech package that is included is phenomenal compared to the other high end luxury brands.

Wonderfull styling comfortable for long trips.

Looks great, sporty, comfortable, great technology.

In Comfort mode it's a lux cruiser, in Sport it really changes to a different vehicle,

Blows away the X3, GLC300, F-Pace, Evoque, RDX and Q5 in comfort, ride and power of the same 2.0L-2.5L engine.

Rear passenger comfort is excellent-I only wish US spec cars had cooled rear seats.

Bold new design, beautiful style, outstanding comfort, great performance, cutting-edge technology &#38; class-leading warranty (+ extended lifetime drivetrain warranty at no additional charge through high-volume dealer).

Drive it in comfort mode and this thing is

2022 Ford Maverick

Fords ordering system is the worst thing I have ever seen.

When I roll four passengers deep, everyone has plenty of space for ergonomically correct natural resting positions (they don't have to contort and twist to fit for the ride), decent audio from the base factory radio, a place for their small personal belongings in the convenient door pockets, convenient cupholders for beverages, plentiful and easily accessible ports for charging their phones and tablets, and - to top it off - in-vehicle WiFi (which has excellent bandwidth in my area - only &#36;25 a month through AT

The EV sound is annoying, since they forgot to add any insulation from the factory, it's loud.

The hybrid sound is too loud,
The horn makes more noise in the cabin than it does outside.

noise

The only issue so far is a clicking type rattle in my dash that only happens on certain slow bumps in my neighborhood, once I am on the highway it goes away. Strange.

My first impression during the test drive was that nearly everything about it seemed well-refined for the price point except for the engine noise.

The Panels all rattle
The dash rattles
The Gas engine is loud and unrefined
The Hybrid brake system was an after thought..

Ford needs to eliminate the small storage compartment on the right of the screen since it is useless and in my view eliminate the electrical outlet in the rear seating area to be replaced with an AC vent.

phone

The only thing you have to move eye focus to is the touch screen radio--unless you have your phone connected and can just use CarPlay to do everything.

brake

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

The First Edition model with towing, 4cyl turbo is really fun and responsive to drive.

My 2022 Ford Maverick XL AWD with tow Package
Powerful and proven 2.0 turbo charged motor mor torque than a Toyota Tacoma
Comfortable to drive and sit in on long trips, plenty of large widows for a good view of traffic.

It's fast (relatively) with the turbo and awd, rides and handles well, and gets good mileage (24 mpg in local driving).

Gas mileage is decent, averaging 25 mpg on the 2.0 turbo engine.

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

the vehicle handles like a small, has a comfortable driving position lots of options and nothing else out there looks like it!

It has plenty of pep and handles very well.

4 can ride nicely,back seat has just enough room.

the vehicle is fun to drive the ride is smooth and the build quality seems to be very good, no squeaks or rattles.
