23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Your old 1988 Olds 98 was a sweet ride . The velour red seats gave me a flashback. My brother had one with blue seats he bought it new back in the day. I remember that Olds it did ride nice on the hwy. The car had a annoying squeak in the dash board that drove my brother nuts. He eventually took off the whole front dash to fix it . Don't laugh my brother sold it to his pastor of his church for practically a blessing after 10 years and the Olds lasted many years for him. RIP OLDS 98

My sons friend has a TT they handle well, I was quiet surprise also the room in them. Has yours been reliable with no issue's ?

I will say though, I have driven the RDX a lot lately, and the higher seating position is quite comfy. I drove that solo straight through from NC to NJ a couple weeks ago (9 hours) and it is amazingly comfortable for a long haul. Back, legs, all felt fine at the end of the trip.

Had to run the a/c just about the whole time. Kept the cruise on 72/73 as much as possible.
Best tank was 533 miles. 34 left until empty, and there is a little more left on top of that.
Driver's seat is definitely more comfortable than passenger seat due to adjustable lumbar and it has more adjustments than 4 way power.
Cargo room is pretty good, being a hatch and the rear seats folding down too, if needed.
Mine has been reliable, but it has had an issue. A major issue, but only one. A while back I noticed a very VERY slow leaking fluid (were talking a couple drops per day maybe) from the underside and rear half of the car. After some tinkering and toiling with the Haldex, they finally decided to replace the whole rear differential as it is a "sealed" system. That part took a month from Germany to arrive. The work was completed in a day, but they needed the part.
I told them that a month is too long for a new car to be sitting waiting for a part, and they agreed. Offered me a month's payment or free maintenance for the 15, 25, 35, and 45K intervals. I took the free maintenance (the math checked out, but just barely as I use a good Indy shop with fair prices).
Only reason the maintenance was worth it is the 25K service, which includes a DSG transmission oil service. Speaking of which, I'm at 24,500 or so, so that'll be coming up in the next week or two.
And for the compacts, interesting that Elantra+Forte comes in 3rd behind only the Civic and Corolla. I can't stand the looks of the Civic, although it seems to be a very nice car otherwise, and I'd take an Elantra or Forte any day over the Corolla. Oh wait... I did take a Forte (Forte5) over the Corolla!
Although it's being replaced, the 2018 looks pretty good. They fixed those bulgy front fenders.
"Our R-Line trim tester hit 60 mph in 8.4 seconds....For a little perspective, the Accord, equipped with its base 1.5-liter turbo-four engine, hit 60 mph in 7.6 seconds.
On the highway, plenty of outside noise seeps into the cabin, and handling at higher speeds only seems to get sloppier. The Passat handled fine during normal highway driving, but I almost never took a long, sweeping highway curve fast—it was a little scary (even in the GT). The more affordable, subcompact Honda Fit Sport hatchback and full-size Toyota Avalon Touring sedan I reviewed earlier this year both provided more confidence during high-speed maneuvers.
The dated VW platform also demonstrates its age gap during stop-and-go driving. And when the engine hits a certain low rpm, it emits a vibration throughout the entire car along with an annoying droning sound....
The Passat's braking feel should be better and could be improved by making it more linear. Initial bite is weak, but once you get about halfway through the pedal, it quickly becomes strong. This can cause a lot of unintentional and unsettling quick stops during daily driving....
For all of the Passat's mediocrities, there are some laudable features. The interior is spacious and comfortable...."

I'm going to echo what I heard . A golf buddy leased a 18 VW Atlas 50k . He had several problems with command center electronics'.

" I’ve now added the Malibu to the top of that list.
"This is, by far, the best CVT I’ve ever driven. Most transmissions of this nature make the driver feel as if there is something wrong with the car — the engine hangs at a higher RPM level, causing noise, or the needle might move up and down the tachometer in steady-state driving on the freeway. Disconcerting noises plague most CVTs. Not this one. Had I not read the literature on this car or attended a morning briefing before hopping behind the wheel, I don’t know if I’d have noticed the lack of traditional gears.
"And yet, I can’t stop thinking about how surprisingly well this Chevy drives.
" The continuously variable transmissions’ ratios feel perfectly matched to the power available, and the driving experience is marvelous."

If I'm after a little more serious performance I rotate the knob to Sport and it's a totally different beast; running RPMs to maximize torque before even considering changing ratios.
