2021 Mazda CX-5

transmission

Feels like the motor is winding while the transmission waits too long to up-shift.

I also find the engine noisy under acceleration with transmission shift hesitancy and roar.

The transmission hesitates and thumps (in lower gears), making cornering, stopping and starting terrible.

The main problem is the automatic transmission.

but the transmission .it some times shifts hard .

The BMW drives like a dream with a smoother transmission and ride, much better build quality, has a light interior, a panoramic sunroof, and a bigger gas tank with better gas mileage.

Not as good as we had hoped, I could change gear in a manual gearbox car quicker than this car changes, also for the money not at all good value, sad to say we are already talking about changing it for something else.

tire

My only complaint would be the budget tires they use.

The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated.

noise

Wind noise while driving with windows down very irritable, Gas mileable ok

but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further.

turbo

The CX-5 Touring is recommended by Consumer Reports, is comfortable, quick and economical enough without the turbo engine.

The ride is very comfortable and the turbo provides enough power to be taken seriously on the highway when merging or passing.

Turbo engine is nice and I am getting about 27 MPG, mostly highway.

I loved the acceleration with the turbo and the windshield display

The CX5 is very quiet, the Bose sound system superb, and the turbo flat out hauls a. ..

The turbo charged engine is only available on the upper trims pushing $38-40,000, and the Carbon edition with an MSRP of about $33,000.

The Turbo 4 has plenty of power and can run on regular fuel.

The CX-5 turbo has met or exceeded our expectations.

Love the CX5, and now with the Turbo engine, it definitely has the Zoom-Zoom factor.

leather

I bought the Signature trim which has the Napa leather interior, very comfortable and I love driving it.

Love the Parchment color leather seats too.

Interior color and black leather make for really dark,drab interior.

On the interior, the black leather seats are accented with red stitching.

The interior red leather is also very pretty and the various mechanisms and accessories are very well designed.

The leatherette is very comfortable and I feel cradled in the multi adjustable seat.

The new Nappa leather seats are a dream to sit in.

feature

We like the stability of the AWD, the safety features, the responsive steering and the seats.

I’m absolutely loving my cx-5, there are so many safety features and it’s purely luxury

but gained a multitude of safety features, gas usage reduction  and it is as much fun to drive as the Acura.

but also tilts side to side, making selecting options easier than a touch screen.

The high tech features are a continuing irritation.

Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features.

This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I really like the cylinder cut-off feature.

I purchased this vehicle mostly based on its safety features,

comfortable

At a glance, it’s very polished and riding around in it is plenty comfortable and seems luxurious.

The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Comfortable, packed with tech & safety and stylish.

but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

interior

The interior is upscale, the exterior is classier than the competition.

Mazda cuts corners with tech (especially) and cheaps out on some finishes to give you a 4-turbo and "soft touch" interior.

The interior seems plush and refined compared to other models

It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market.

I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

Looks very classy and I love the interior of the CX5.

The interior design is very luxurious for a car that is inexpensive.

2021 Subaru Outback

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.

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 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,

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

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.

engine

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

I really hate the automatic engine shut off.

They need to pipe in some mildly robust engine sounds to cover up the annoying real engine sound.

The Outback XT is a vast improvement over the underpowered non turbo models.

The new Subaru Outback XT Series with the 2.4 liter Turbo engine is fun to drive, plenty of power and still good fuel economy.

The eye sight system is impressive the XT models with the turbo have good power!

This thing is like driving on air and the power in this XT turbo model is unbelievable.

Turbo charged engine has alot of power and I average 26.5 mpg so far.

Especially love the turbo that my Onyx has.

The Onyx offers the rare combination of a high level of trim without leather (+) or a mandatory sunroof (++).

The car's interior is great with good quality leather all over the door, dashboard, and seats, giving the Subaru a much more luxurious feeling.

We upgraded to the Touring level, which has a very adjustable passenger seat in a very comfortable Nappa leather (also heated and cooled, very nice) and was a significant improvement.

The cloth seats are very comfortable, nice looking and much cheaper than the leather option.

best vehicle ever,better than my 2018 outback touring.bigger screen,better leather seating.hd radio,backseat reminder,

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.

On a positive note, the seats are much more comfortable compared to my '19 and I wish I could have seats like that in my '19.

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

This vehicle has a very comfortable cabin.

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 .

The ride Kandloff quite on a smooth road or highway

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 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 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.

brake

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.

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

For example, the CX-30 Turbo’s heads-up display, black painted side mirrors as opposed to the CX-5 Carbon’s black plastic mirrors.

The added turbo in the 2021 CX-30 really puts the Zoom back in Mazda, front and center!

We own both an Audi Q3 and Q5 and the Mazda CX 30 Turbo Premium is in many ways superior to both.

The four cylinder engine, non turbo, gets you where you are going, with enough acceleration to make your heart beat slightly faster.

Turbo closed the deal for me - smooth acceleration great zip off the line , all the tech and styling / comfort of German luxury

This car does NOT need the turbo engine; the base engine has plenty of power as long as you are not a race-car enthusiast.

when you kicked in the turbo on all 3 you had better have a hold on it.

The leather seats are supportive and heat up nicely during the winter.

The Premium Leather package makes the car feel like a higher end luxury vehicle, BMW/Audi

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 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,

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.

Additionally it looks great has all the bells and whistles without the $$$ tag on I have an LS 3cycl no turbo.

with the 9 speed transmission and turbocharged.

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

It has a turbo engine so it accelerates quickly, it has great safety features, an amazing sound system and screen display, it is sleek and has the perfect room in the front (back is fairly roomy

Car has everything I need, it's comfortable and the 1.3 Turbo is surprisingly quick.

It’s very comfortable and I honestly thought only leather seats were heated.

The leatherette offered does look fantastic and generally feels good,

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.

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.

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

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-9

The 2.5L turbo with its 300+ft of torque gives a nice shove at low rpms.

It handles extremely well in corners, the turbocharged engine has amazing pick-up for a smaller SUV, rolls down the highway very smoothly, has all the bells and whistles and the average warranty.

The turbo gives it just enough pep for those times when you want/need it.

The car comes with Soft Napa leather interior is great with stitching on the sides of the seats.

My Mazda is fun and easy to drive, has a lot of features, the color in the Carbon Edition is great with the red leather, and overall I am completely impressed with this vehicle while also saving $20k compared to my Nautilus.

Adding a full digital display dashboard (or even an option like in VW and Hyundai) would really push this vehicle into the current day.

In my opinion the 
2021 Mazda CX9 signature has all the amenities I was looking for minus the panoramic roof which I would like to have seen in the vehicle so that is a letdown.

Car handles great, the safety features are mind blowing, it’s a smooth, quiet ride, roomy enough for my clan and the pep to this car is AMAZING!

Another feature that I love is the front camera and 360 degree camera.
