Purchased a Calligraphy Hybrid FWD 3 weeks ago. We searched high and low and there is nothing that compares in luxury, refinement, or tech for the $50k price point. It rides and feels like an $80K vehicle. I've always driven luxury German cars and the build quality of the Calligraphy and tech just blows me away.

@RmPrtv 16 күн бұрын

There is nothing similar from a tech perspective, I completely agree, Mazda or Toyota feels like a car build 10 yrs ago

the Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum is my dream car but it's $71,000CAD (after taxes), whereas a base model Santa Fe Hybrid is only $49,000CAD (40% cheaper than the Toyota hybrid). Due to the huge price difference and the insane rate 'o theft, I went Santa Fe. It's about the same size and same MPG as the regular highlander hybrid.

The DCT in wife's 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman has performed flawlessly for 2 years and 32,000 miles. It's a 7-speed DCT, and other than a very slight engagement (about .5 second) from a complete stop, you'd never know it isn't a traditional automatic trans. Shifts are smooth, quick, and predictable.

@codincoman9019 Ай бұрын

While the top Japanese brands are the most reliable, Korean brands are out of Top 10 reliability. Is that a good enough reason to buy the segments' champions (ofc, Japanese)? If not, let's also look at the low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) ranking - where, again, the Japanese brands are the champions and no Koreans are there. If you are still not convinced, let's look at recalls percentage , where Koreans are champions 😂

The second row does move back and forth. It’s easy to fit 6 adults, simply move second row forward a few inches and you’re golden. *Combined legroom* is actually the same as the new Chevy Traverse. Cargo is smaller as is the vehicle but actual usable legroom is identical. Traverse also has a movable second row. They just offer less 2nd row and more 3rd row by default compared to Santa Fe. Where are you getting your reliability and or dependability information? Most definitely NOT JD Power, CR OR Edmunds, those who track this data. Because their results don’t match your assumptions. Wow you sure know how to exaggerate issues. Do you tell everyone when you review a Honda about their 1.5 T recalls? How about Fords record recalls this year? Looking at the results of JD Powers dependability study for 2023: 1) Lexus 2) Genesis- HMG 3) Kia- HMG 4) Buick 5) Chevrolet 6)Mitsubishi 7) Toyota 8) Hyundai-HMG 9) MINI 10) Nissan Honda ranked 18th btw.

@codincoman9019 Ай бұрын

It is dumb to label JD Power study on Initial Customer Satisfaction (relabeled as a Dependability survey) as a reliability survey. The most prestigious annual reliability survey belongs to Consumer Reports and despite some yearly bs (the last one with Bring My Wallet), it is still the best (a panel of more than 310'000 cars owners, with an error margin below 3%, thus statistically relevant), where Lexus/Toyota are the peak, Honda #5 and the Koreans are out of the Top 10. Similar for the low TCO ranking and for low recalls, thus the low resale value for the Korean cars. How good is JD Power is obvious from the huge gap between Lexus and Toyota (that are sharing a lot of the big components), Nissan, Buick, Chevrolet, mini placed higher than Honda and other bs.

@carhelpcorner Ай бұрын

I don't refer to JD Power because their reliability data only tracks periods from 90 days to 3 years. This paints a very misleading picture about a brand's reliability. Consumer Reports, ISeeCars, and CarEdge all use data over 5 to 20 year periods, and Hyundai normally ranks below average. Moreover, there have been severe heavily publicized recalls covering millions of Hyundai's over total engine failures and transmission failures, including the transmission used in the Santa Fe right now.
