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Outdated navigation and interactive system.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.

quality

Gas mileage (Measured by fill up) was 23.5 miles per gallon on a 360 mile round trip and the trip computer showed 27.6 mpg's Build quality seems okay

If you switching from Kia,Hunday, or Subaru - you might like what CX50 has to offer BUT if you look at Acura, Lexus, BMW build quality - CX50 is truly FAR behind!

buttons and excellent tactile feel, quality materials and thick leather, beautiful, low, wide stance, it’s an amazing car to drive.

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.

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

turn-handling

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

2023 Volvo XC60

Quality is top of the line.Once again Volvo is setting the standard for luxury and safety.

2023 BMW X7

Twin turbo is powerful and quick with no lag.

Quality of fit and finish is what you would expect from a German luxury vehicle.

comfortable

The seats are extremely comfortable, and it's both quiet in comfort mode and performs better than many would expect in sport mode, even as a 40i model with the 6-cylinder.

Interior styling and comfort are second to none.

2023 Kia Seltos

With the turbo motor it has very good acceleration and decent gas mileage.

As far as exterior and interior styling, I'm very pleased with the quality of the interior as well as the great touch points and an overall ergonomic design.

I have a spinal injury and I find the seats and suspension to be very comfortable even over longer drives, and when you use the driver assist features even longer trips aren't as tiring.

The engine puts out plenty of HP and torque to make the car responsive and it's quick which is very important when merging onto highways or general overtaking.

feature

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..

port

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.

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

I went into this expecting a corolla, or Focus as per the quality.

It gets amazing gas mileage,
Everyone looks at it..
Cons:
Build quality it appalling,
It’s useless on a highway, you’ll need miles to gain enough speed to pass someone.

ride

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

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

It rides great, accelerates just fine, and has more than adequate room for 4.

the truck rides great, it's very smooth and extremely quiet.

The ride is much better than my 2019 Civic.

Solid, roomy,  great performance,  nice smooth and quiet ride for a pickup.

Enough room for a 6'1" man at 260 to enjoy driving or riding in the Maverick.

The ride us much smoother and quieter than the Tacoma it has replaced and I'm using less than half the gas.

but when I sat in one at a local car show,  I realized my Maverick was much more roomier and comfortable than the full size Bronco.

Exceeds expectations: Beautiful design, perfect size, drives fantastic, comfortable on long trips, great visibilty, and its QUIET.

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

but big uses, no issues at 12k, very comfortable and drives great!

The seats are very comfortable even for the large and tall.

The interior is probably the most comfortable I've enjoyed in a utility vehicle to date.

It is actually very comfortable and the interior is very functional and I can park it in my garage.

mileage

but the dealer was able to take care of them  it delivers great MPG, of 45-50, around town, 32-34 on ths open road.

Overall happy with the performance and gas mileage (34mpg).

First edition carbonized gray
Mileage after 7 months of driving is 22 mpg.

It is so nice to get 40 plus mpg daily and run to the hardware store and pick up a load of mulch or haul bicycles and never.

So far, I am impressed with the little truck. Fuel economy is on par with what I was getting avg in my fusion (usually 40 - 43 mpg.)

The aerodynamics of the vehicle means you blow all over the place over 70mph
Highway MPG is less than the GTI i owned and that was way better built and more fun to drive.

It’s comfortable, easy to drive,  surprisingly peppy, and I am getting 43 MPG.

Very impressed with the mileage, as about 60% was freeway driving, and I still averaged like 44mpg!

Went over 120 mph on the freeway, very sturdy! Ps.

2022 Kia Sorento

The Sorento with the Turbo is the most fun to drive and the interior feels authentic and strong.

I traded a fully loaded 2015 Chevy Traverse LTZ that I loved all of the bells and whistles for a 2022 Kia Sorento EX Turbo and I must say that I am impressed!

With the removal of the V6, I was very hesitant with the 2.5l Turbo.

The 2.5L turbo is very impressive, with lots of power and torque, and the handling is fantastic, especially around corners at fast speed.

It’s got head-turning good looks (mine is white), and the performance with the 2.5 turbo engine is terrific.

The ride quality is good and overall quality is quite good.

The ride quality is immaculate to other competitors at this price point.

From what I have read, Kia continues to have longevity mechanically and in the body build.

Kia has been on a great streak with quality and design.

It rides nice ,we have had 2 trips in it that were over 1000 miles.

It’s spacious, safe, smooth ride, great gas mileage.

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

Excellent ride and handling with very quiet cabin.

My step dad has the 2020 I have driven before and always liked how smooth the ride was,

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.

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!

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

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,

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.

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.

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.

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 Kia Soul

lights

~It's SO light that when cornering very fast at all, that ANY small bumps or cracks in the pavement will nearly send you spinning, as the car will quickly lose traction when it hits them.

~Exhaust note of the Turbo model has just a hint of bite to it, which is a nice touch if you prefer sportier model cars.

The Kia Soul train eight door hatchback with compator or super charger I am MJ and am John of Heartbreaker contact KFC about my location CEO of Philippines airlines also would Kia Soul ev turbo black with red stripes thank you Dr Kurt Roosevelt

I bought the turbo model and I love the performance .

We quickly noticed that the ride quality is MUCH different with the Turbo model than the lesser model we did drive at a dealership.

interior

This is our second soul and we love the interior room, turning and parking radius and the great MPG’s.

It's very spacious and comfy on the inside, and has all the digital requirements I wanted.

Do not let the small look deceive you because this car has plenty of space inside.

It looks great, the two tone interior is very nice as are the little chrome touches inside.

They are roomy built for comfort and they have speed when I need speed!

I am tall and I'm very comfortable in it.

I'm 6"4' and I'm happily surprised with the amount of room and comfort when driving.

I am TOTALLY pleased with the driving and comfort of My Soul.

room

but provides so much space under the hatchback that it could basically rival.

I am 6"3 and there is a ton of room plus plenty behind me.

2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid

2022 Nissan Rogue

large-size

great vehicle overall seats should be a little bigger .

The cargo space is not that large as described (a couple of inches would solve the issue

Heated leather seats, panoramic moonroof, Bose speakers, 202 horsepower with turbo, the cameras on it are neat, and remote start both from the fob and from the app on my phone to name just a few things I love about it.

Love the smooth ride and performance with the turbo charge engine and better gas mileage.

Even thought it has a 1.5L 3 cylinder engine turbo it drivers so smooth and it has plenty of power when you needed.

Not sure if the 3 cyl and turbo combination is any better that the 2017 SL, I previously drove.

Ride quality is fine for this class and has the best Gauge cluster screen.

fuel

The car consumes much more fuel, than advertised, I do not know, how it is possible to cheat that much in adds, the average is 21, that is terrible.

The engine runs very smooth and has excellent fuel economy.

although I’m going to loose some mileage per gallon it is well worth it.

The car is incredible, handles well, is good on gas, and for me who just moved from an RVR, the resources oferred on the platinum trim are impressive.

Gas mileage is very good because I drive in ECO mode all the time.

Car is very nice overall,  fuel  consumption still high I never reached 28 mpg in the town,

Driving 2022 Rogue Platinum from last 2 months, it’s really comfortable (all seats), Entertainment system could have some more options

We always get a very quiet and extremely comfortable ride.

Both seats the driver and passenger seat are very comfortable even if the passenger does is not powered it provides the same amount of comfort.

No amount of adjusting the seat, headrest or mirrors can make this safe or comfortable!!

Still the rogue is a very reliable and stylish SUV, that delivers about the same comfort and reliability that other Dull SUV's do with out taking the style, and is economical on gas.

Comfort, visibility, safety features, technology&#47;infotainment, A&#47;C are all great.

body style is good and lots of safety features , engine has some pep with quick acceleration, smooth ride with good music system.

Great styling, handling and lots of engine power.

Don’t care much for the new 3 cylinder engine:  it’s noisy

In terms of engine power in city ( not that much more acceleration) and hwy.

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.
