2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

turbo

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,

size

Overall I’m enjoying the trucklet and for what I would use the bed for it’s a good size for 2 bikes, mulch, gardening plants&#47;supplies, etc.

), 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.

comfortable

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

The ride is fantastic and comfortable, easy to drive.

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.

It’s surprisingly fun to drive with good handling.

Just finishing my first 1000 miles on my Santa Cruz limited model and it is a joy to drive, has fantastic safety features, acceleration is phenomenal and it looks great (numerous compliments).

feature

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

2021 Kia Seltos

noise

Road noise is very noticeable and having a conversation with a passenger can be a bit difficult.

Cabin noise when driving on the highway is fairly loud,

This even after Techs from two different dealerships test drove and declared 1) "That is not right" (when he felt the vibration) and 2) described in his report to KIA as "Excessive Steering vibration".

In general the interior feels a bit more rugged than in the Sportage and this shows with the road noise which is louder than in the Sportage,

Plenty of legroom for a small CUV good power in the non turbo version and alot of cargo room for a small vehicle .

I love driving this seltos with the turbo.

The 1.6 turbo engine is very responsive and gets great gas mileage.

The SX Turbo is fun to drive and has great luck-up!

I went with the SX  and love the turbo and awd.

In SX turbo, the engine is quiet, responsive and ready to go.

I went with lower trim for 17 inch wheel for comfort and lower maintenance of none turbo engine.

Performance with the Turbo engine let’s you feel the gains in HP from the standard engine offering, it gives you that boost once you hit the higher RPMs.

This vehicle is very attractive and the perfect size for me.

compared with HR-V and CX-3 Seltos beat both in every categories of comfort, features, and size.

The seltos is a great sized SUV as holds almost as much as a van.

I especially like that there is good leg room for the rear seats for your average sized person.

Perfect size, excellent mileage, smooth transmission, great new safety features.

Also went with S-AWD model to get safety features and heated seats.

Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver.

but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

It has all the safety features and amenities I wanted and needed.

but not too big, tons of safety features and I love the look of it.

The trim package has the features I want.

but felt the new styling and mileage made up for those comforts but als picked up some new features such as the automatic cruise control,auto headlights and remote start.So far very impressed with the new Seltos

Lots of safety features, great fuel economy, and value.

But that aside; this car has excellent responsiveness to driver demands, a very intuitive driver assistance package, a great sound system, comfortable seating all seating positions, great gas mileage (even in the thirsty Sport mode), and last

AWD standard in the lower model plenty of visibility and confortable on long drives .

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

SMALL ENGINE BUT REALLY COMFORTABLE INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL VERSION OF THE RANGE ROVER.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

but, I'm 6'3 300 lbs and I fit in this Seltos LX comfortable.

It is comfortable, affordable, and drives very smooth.

room

Car all and beyond very reliable transportation and most of all space room to travel shopping sports gear with the children games and there team

but this is a game changer so easy to handle and the space is wonderful this definitely changed my mind

Perfect for traveling with my family and has plenty of room for all of my grandbabies stuff.

Plenty of upfront room for me which was hard to find coming from a roomy 09 Pilot!

I'm Surprise it has allot of Leg Space as for general it's not the biggest Interior space

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.

That being said, I do really like this vehicle and would've given it 5 stars if it had a reasonable size gas tank and adequate rear view.

For size comparison the cx-30 is more like a hatchet a kid sedan very compact and sporty like I said.

I sized down from the CX-5 model to the CX-30 and I LOVE IT!

Surprisingly powerful for its size with great handling in addition to a very nice interior.

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.

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

interior

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 Kia K5

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

After a month of owning my k5 EX the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is the terrible wind and road noise that comes into the cabin.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

lights

2400 miles in and it already needs to go in for an engine diagnostic on 8/6/21; stopped at a red light and the car had NO pickup/power and RPM’s were pegged at 4500-5000 when I took off from the red light; lights started flashing on the dashboard, etc.

With LESS THAN 300 MILES and after owning for only 3 weeks the engine light came on and the car started shaking violently.

the door handles light up as you approach the vehicle, the smart trunk opens automatically when you stand in front of the trunk, the front collision detector sounds if you're getting to close to the vehicle in front of you.

My engine light came on and it turn out to be a faulty ERG valve.

The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day.

Car is great, however; driver headlight veers off to left with a distinct V shape that is void of light and light isn't adjustable.Dealer is trying to resolve,

A few cons to the car, the approach lights in the door handle could be a little brighter.

The 4 cyl turbo is snappier than my 57 chevy small block V8.

Big improvement with turbo, trans, steering.

I'm a big fan of the turbo that Kia has put into all of the engines.

but with turbo charging and 8 speed transmission it feels fast, smooth and powerful.

Turbo engine is awesome when you need power to get around big trucks on short stretches, and taking corners on winding roads is like dreaming.

K5 is designed well with its just-fine size.

Also, in my opinion, the best looking mid sized sedan on the market presently.

So for anyone in the market for a mid sized sedan the K5 should definitely be on your list to consider.

This can is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than my Honda Accord or my BMW 528i.

Seats are comfortable and with all these great sides it costs relatively low which makes it perfect for my first car in my life.

It has the comfort and gas efficiency of a nice family car

I have the GT line and I love it it’s a fun sexy comfortable vehicle very good on gas and everywhere I go people always complement me I did a few changes

It’s a beautiful car that’s fun to drive, comfortable and gorgeous inside and out

I went with the sapphire blue.. Looks badass and the interior is sweet with comfortable leather seats and an IPad-sized display screen.

The car met all my needs, it’s smooth, has all the features that I need, big trunk, comfortable and has really surprisingly big leg room

Extremely smooth handling, comfortable ride.

I ended up getting all the bells and whistes including the GT package with the racing seats, steering wheel, rims, moon roof, stereo, heated and cooling seats and steering wheel and more!!

This vehicle is well worth owning for the price and standard features.

The console is great has so many goodies not sure how to use them all yet.

Overall, as I rated it all 5 stars for the 6 features above, and it is definitely very well worth it, & I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a brand new Kia.

The Kia K5 is everything I wanted in a car it meets all of my needs and is so comfortable,it has so may options that have exceeded my expectations.

but my first Kia, decided on this when I saw their new K5 (formerly known as optima) when I test drove it I fell in love and this car has more features and more comfort as well as better looking over all than the competition

It has so many safety features that really sold me.

If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5!

The only thing I haven't been happy with is the type of material used in the interior it collects EVERYTHING!!

but that was for me I change my emblemsAnd I change the color of my interior I love this vehicle I recommend anybody to Lee’s go test drive this car I promise you you’re gonna want to leave out the car lot with it

the overall ride and how quiet it is has plenty of power and the interior is stylish and comfortable and it has plenty of cool tech

Major upgrade with the interior and design.

I have been enjoying the sunroof and beautiful interior!

I love this car overall great  time with it mine is blue with black inside

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.

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

Love the size, the handling and the look.

I absolutely love the size of the screen for navigating directions.

The little 3cyl engine is surprising peppy for it's size and the gas mileage is also pretty 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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Very good gas mileage for a vehicle of this size and four cylinder engine.

From the style, looks, interior size, fuel economy and handling.

This vehicle  comes with all the features you need, the overall cost of maintenance is inexpensive and is a great size vehicle for a couple or a whole family.

Main reason for purchasing was size of car with captain chairs.

I really wanted a bigger suv and this meets all my expectations, it’s the perfect size, third row seats, back seats are extremely roomy.

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.
