2021 Honda Civic

turbo

It's a fun car to drive being a small turbo type of car.

Small turbo engine for performance pick up.

Good quality car that also has a turbo engine.

Plenty of performance being a small turbo engine.

Turbo engine is a nice feeling to have since it's my first one.

And a awesome turbo engine that gets up and goes.

Nice performance the car has being a small turbo engine.

The car has a nice performance kick being a small turbo engine.

quality

These car's are nicely made with quality.

Nice looking quality car with newer technology.

Just a nice quality car with a lot to offer.

Nice interior, and good quality condition.

Just keep your car nice and good quality condition.

fuel

I, bought this car just to get good gas mileage and to have a nice car that is low maintenance cost.

mileage

Nice stereo system with apple car play to enjoy the music.

Definitely affordable and it's a fun car to drive.

This car is fantastic and it's been fun driving it.

These cars are alot of fun driving around.

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.

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.

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.

No other car manufacturer comes close to the quality.

The power is fantastic, the ride is soooo much smoother , and the build quality is in a different universe from the GMC.

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

Great quality vehicles, great sales, and great service!

Fit and finish is phenomenal, no rattles, no noises, you can just tell it is build well.

This is my third Mazda, and I really appreciate the value and quality this brand delivers.

I was happy with the interior styling and the quality of the upholstery.

For the money, you can not beat the quality.

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.

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 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.

Brakes are extremely mushy, and the overall user experience while inside is higher quality, the total package is a let down.

I'm blown away with the quality, fit and finish.

Fit and finish, ride quality and cabin quietness is simply unsurpassed in this price category.

I knew of the purported quality of the CX-5.

The interior quality is remarkable, the dash design is intuitive and clean, and it is really fun to drive.

I’m very impressed  - the build quality is excellent, everything is very taut, the road handling is very good - on a par with my 2007 Acura RDX (IMHO the best handling CUV ever).

It’s a good buy for the money, good quality for lower end of suvs, we are satisfied for what it has as being a base model, safety features etc, rear camera, body lines line up good, doors shut nice, we are just average size, fits us nice,

Has safety goodies like the cross-traffic backup warning, blind spot, lane warning systems I like and need.

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

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 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.

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.

Exceptional interior quality in top trim and blows away the Honda and Toyota comparable SUVs.

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.

It is proven over and over, stylish, advanced, safe, excellent quality, user friendly, very well thought you.

The safety features and build quality are excellent.

Great car, excellent workmanship and value for the money.

Subaru quality and reliability brought me back.

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

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

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 Kia Sorento

The Good Stuff

The powertrain in this Sorento Hybrid is just excellent; I generally leave it in "eco" mode and it drives like it has a normal or turbo 4 cylinder with much larger displacement.

The power from the turbo charged engine will totally surprise you.

Feel the turbo power, very fast to be a 2.5 T. Sporty look.

This car is fun to drive with the V4 Turbo.

I value quality and engineering above all, so this is my first experience with a Kia.

KIA is now a manufacturer of quality and value which others better pay attention to.

Some favorite features: hands free and kick free tailgate, just stand behind it.

This SUV has  safety, comfort, performance, and convience features of  vehicles costing many thousands more.

It is a beautiful car with lot's of safety features.

This car is loaded with features, looks good, drives good, and is very reliable.

A lot of safety features that are standard.

The SUV thats just right for a person who likes adventures and also has all the features of a luxury suv.

The x-line package is first class and a steal at its price.

family

All around, a great SUV for a couple like us or a small family.

This car is perfect for me and my soon to be extended family!

I have 2 kids and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

I want the “kids” to have plenty of room in the back and for it to lay flat.
