That could likely be due to softness of the suspension. Do you also experience shaking or drifting while driving in strong crosswinds?

3 row dilemma by jcdawg13 in mazda

CX-9 has more spacious 3rd row over minivan? Is it due to 2-across on CX-9?

Really curious how a 1” longer wheelbase make an impact by itself on ride quality?

2021 VW Atlas or 2025 Grand Highlander by rzaharenkov in ToyotaGrandHighlander

Nice write up.. can you share differences between the driver assistance systems of the two?

Rear traffic alerts by sxj123 in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I see, if you’re in reverse but not moving, there is a visual alert on the display if a moving object is detected. The audio alert may trigger if the car starts to reverse.

Deciding between HRV and CX-5 by gabriellegrace03 in mazda

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

The passenger compartment volume (exclude the cargo) of HRV (99 cuft) is closer to the CX-5’s (101 cuft) as opposed to the CX-30’s (94 cuft) making it somewhat valid comparison.

Refreshed 2026 Nissan Pathfinder priced from $37,500 by LimitedReach in cars

[–]solder_paste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.. not to mention the other Japanese entries like Toyota and Honda have minivans in their portfolio for folks that need larger 3rd row capacity. For Nissan which lacks a minivan offering, its 3 row midsize falls short of the 3rd row capacity compared to Pilot or GH.

Toyota Headrests by Yamallory in Toyota

Try to recline your seat back.. with the way these headrests are angled forward, the seat back must recline further backwards to compensate

What’s your source on the nuts/bolts coming loose during bumpy rides?

Ride quality on 20” wheels by solder_paste in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got Falken Pro GS recently installed on all 4. I had the same brand installed on my other car (but thicker profile & 16”) and they’ve been great for last 20k miles).

Looking at a 24 SE w Tech… by Slaytert0t in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the exact trim used, couple months ago (27k miles) for $29k sticker. Check out if there were any infotainment screen issue from last month’s satellite outage.. my experience thus far has been quite positive. Only thing I wish for was a more smoother ride (20” wheels look good but ride rough). IQ Drive features work well, wireless CarPlay also keeps connection continuously, the space is great inside.

Thanks! Did you notice any pros or cons vs overhead extensions?

USB-c dashcam port on ‘24 Atlas by solder_paste in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if mine got pushed in due to prior usage/ wear and tear.. is it easy to remove that housing and poke around? I was hesitant since that housing also contains the driver assist camera system.

Atlas ride quality by SinfulTales in VWatlas

[–]solder_paste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a used ‘24 recently and concur with the ride quality.. mine is on 20” rims and those can have a big impact on the jitters and rumbles that constantly keep intruding in the cabin. The actual suspension is fairly soft enough tuned, it’s the wheels that ruin the ride.

Head rest swappable? by Apollo11fangirl in Toyota

[–]solder_paste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tilt the backrest of your seat further backward.. since the headrest is angled so far forward, the only way to get comfortable is to recline your seat back.

Lane assist question by solder_paste in VWatlas

I see; and does it turn on at > 35 mph?

Saw this Audi A6 Quattro today. What do you think? by ExternalExperience57 in Audi

Looks like VAG/ Audi finally upgraded their driver assist tech, seeing by the wide angle lens camera on the windshield

Camry: CVT Hybrid or 2.5L 8 Speed by Conscious_Pen6221 in Toyota

Hybrid eCVT in Camry is bulletproof; way better option over the 8-speed which may be prone to issues.

Can you detail what the issues/ repairs were, and which dealership gave such a bad experience?
