What Qualities in a Car Matter Most to You?

Mazda3 owners told us their car was “comfortable and quiet” and “fun [and the] right size.” Legacy owners noted “the comfort [and] the room” of their cars. Many Bolt owners noted “the front-seat comfort could be improved” and “terrible front seats.”

Blazer owners noted the “overall driving experience and handling” and one said, “when I need to accelerate rapidly . . . [it] gets up and goes, without hesitation.” A Wrangler owner said the vehicle “wanders on the [highway] to the degree that it is fatiguing and requires almost constant corrections.”

Model Y owners praised the storage. Conversely, a Q5 owner told us it “needs more storage space front and rear.” Another respondent elaborated further, noting that they would like more “storage around driver’s seat. More cup holders, storage compartments.”

Multiple Palisade owners praised the touch screen, with one saying that it’s “easy to learn display features.” QX50 owners lambasted the system, with one owner saying “the navigation system is so user UNFRIENDLY, I routinely navigate using Google Maps on my iPhone.”

Many owners of the CX-5 and CX-30 listed the styling or looks as the first attribute they liked about their SUVs, as did owners of the Telluride. One Bolt owner asked for a “better, more stylish design,” and another noted “it’s cute but not very sexy.”
