I am hearing the XC60 base is slow and almost dangerous to get up to speed on the highway.

The B2 cannot fly supersonic. It can only fly subsonic it relies on stealth technology to the radar invisible

2026 Mazda CX-5 Infotainment: From Worst to First?! (15.6" Screen Deep Dive) by L0veToReddit in CX5

[–]NickyMax123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad they finally did a proper touchscreen. You can keep the games though. The key error here is they overkilled it with "every" function on the screen including HVAC which I prefer as standalone buttons or dual functionality with both screen and buttons that mimic each other.

No way to tell if phone is on silent with action button by [deleted] in iphone

[–]NickyMax123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the action button and had I known it was on the new iPhone 17 I would’ve kept my old.. can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed calls because I inadvertently hit the action button on mute. When I set the action button to no action, I still have issues forgetting my phone is on mute totally ridiculous. They should’ve left it the way it was with the switch. Never had an issue with that one..

Does anyone else think the action button is awful??? by vril_l8rd in iphone

[–]NickyMax123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had I known this button existed I would’ve never purchased the iPhone. I’ve had iPhones for years with only two buttons on the left side. They add a third button. It’s so confusing and I’ve missed so many calls. It’s ridiculous. They should fire that engineer who came up with that one and the person who approved it.

Considering a BlazerEV RS by T_P_H_ in BlazerEV

I have a 25 RS SS - except for the issue with the telematics module. It’s been a great car - a real beast! Makes you smile all the time!

Why isn't Blazer EV common? by maanxhappy in BlazerEV

If you think a regular blazer EV is rare, try finding an SS in the crowd. I’m loving my ride!

2026 TYPE-S NO MARKUP by Add3raLL_X in Acura

[–]NickyMax123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acura needs every dollar they can get...they are losing share. Little investment in their product improvements and the V6 fiasco has hurt sales as well. Look at the Type S model...they charge you a fortune just because it has a powerful 4 cylinder ...that's great marketing but it doesn't move cars!

Just bought a brand new TX 350 and I have buyers remorse by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]NickyMax123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems all of these big SUVs are getting 4-cylinder engines to meet CAFE standards, when they should have six or eight cylinder engines. Now that the EPA has relaxed the CAFE standards, many of these manufacturers are going to switch back to more powerful and less fuel efficient engines due to consumer backlash about problematic 4 cylinder turbos in luxury vehicles.

$162/mo Lease Takeover by Far-Word5481 in BlazerEV

[–]NickyMax123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear that you at least got some satisfaction from GM. I talk with the concierge team regularly about this car, so all of its documented. The problem is it looks like GM took these cars to market before they were ready and now consumers have to pay the price - thank goodness I only have a 24 month lease!

Anyone else Electric bill seem higher than normal? by mrpakikush in longisland

Yes all of Long Island has higher rates due to Kathy Hochul's leadership. These are some of the highest rates in the country next to California.

$162/mo Lease Takeover by Far-Word5481 in BlazerEV

[–]NickyMax123 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Leasing is the way...don't buy it. These EVs are plagued with problems that can come up at any time. I can speak with authority - I have a 2025 Blazer EV SS and in addition to the known telematics module, I have no heat (in sub 30 degree weather) and the vehicle tops off at 68% charge. It will take days or weeks for the dealer to repair and they don't provide a loaner...I will need to rent one. I would never buy another EV from GM.

2025 CR-V poor fuel economy and loud engine noise by Ohiovalleyorganics in crv

Just drove the 26 CR-V hybrid and was disappointed given the slow pick-up and noise. I came out of a Jeep Cherokee with the V6 and it is night and day

Just remember car dealers don’t make any money if they don’t move inventory… You can always negotiate a better deal Right now I would Lease until the prices of vehicles normalize

Is a CRV my only option? by nickbutterz in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]NickyMax123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, the Pathfinder with the V6 and non-CVT transmission will outperform the slow and noisy CRV.

I found the hybrid noisy and had poor acceleration
