@dlg5485 yeah, i know. This was actually one of the first videos I did and obviously I got a lot of things wrong but you do make a good point and I'll include that info in future videos. Thanks for the suggestion

Thank you for these details. I wasn't aware of them actually. Thanks for sharing

Thank you

I didn't do a test of the lights at night. It's a good idea so I'll see what I can do next time I go to the dealership

Yikes... you're the second person on here that says they have issues with the batteries. Hopefully kia takes care of this issue because they'll have a lot of brand new MPV's sitting in their lots

@yayodaflyez it doesn't say anything on the website about what brand but I found on Google that it's a Bose sound system

Sorry it's not what you expected. I don't actually do reviews, I do an overview of the vehicles features. I can't do a review on a car I haven't used or driven and have had some experience with. That's why I provide mostly information and let you, the viewer, make up your own mind if you think it's worth it or not. As for the test drive, go test drive it yourself and see if you like the way it rides/accelerates,stops etc. Because only THAT is a real world "review". Your own real world review for that matter. I appreciate your opinion though.

Yes it is. I have no idea why I said 11. I should carry measuring tape with me lol

That sounds like quite an issue actually. I'm really sorry you have to go through this. I'm sure you're pretty bummed out about the car too. It's a very nice ride but issues like that definitely give you a bad after-taste. That's why I try to never get a first gen type of car (in this case the hybrid version of the Carnival) /phone/tablet or pretty much anything technology-wise. They are usually the "test subjects" for future models and have many issues. I hope they at least have the decency to give you a loaner car and fix the issue soon!

@@UrbanAutoAdventures sure this is technically a first year refresh, but it only has a few tech updates and that's it. Nothing structurally or mechanically changed. This is actually extremely common to provide small tech updates on a yearly basis. This should not happen and it shouldn't have been a year to avoid, refresh or not.

@@colear3 Yeah, I know and I agree that small updates are essential to stay relevant in todays industry, no argument there. I was just saying about the Hybrid version intro to this year's model. Technically they shouldn't have ANY issues because it's not like the hybrid engines have just been invented. It also could be an isolated incident, I don't know honestly. Hopefully it gets resolved because this minivan literally checks a lot of boxes with a lot of people.

@@UrbanAutoAdventures totally. But the hybrid hasn't hit land in the US yet and I'm strictly referring to the V6 variant. Nothing mechanically changed. They did make minor changes to some components and shouldn't really be considered a mid cycle refresh because a lot of the changes were just cosmetic, and the tech changes were relatively simple additions and tweaks. It's basically a yearly update if you really think about it. Not rocket science! At any rate, the fact that a lot of us haven't been able to drive it yet after we bought it is shocking and ridiculous.

@@colear3 ooh. ok, I see. Now we're on the same page 😅. Yes, in that case I couldn't agree more. I think anyone caught in this predicament would be angry to say the least. Hey, i really hope they fix this so that you can enjoy it to its full potential (if you don't decide to jump ship beforehand)... I'd be curious to hear how they address and fix this issue so if you don't forget, keep me/us posted here. If it's a manufacturing mistake they'll probably make it a recall or something...

Congratulations on your new car! You definitely picked a nice ride 🥳 Come back and let me know of some features I missed ; I'm sure there are a few 😅

Plus, you'll get a much better fuel mileage on it as well!

It's an amazing SUV actually and I'm sure you'll love it! I'm sure there's some features I've skipped but with time you'll learn all of them. It took me a long time to learn almost everything about my Palisade too. Congratulations on your new car!

I don't think it has. That would be a nice addition though

Does it have ambient lighting

@@araanmohammed6680 yes it does

😅 I always struggle with these 🤣

Definitely one of the safest and most reliable vehicles out there!

🤣 yes it is. It's pronounced Joko but spelled Gjoko 😏... fancy shmensi 😅... no, I'm actually Macedonian 😁. How'd you get Indonesian?

@@UrbanAutoAdventures joko is really common name in indonesia, thats why i thought u hv indonesian background or something 😅

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately not all cars are created equal

If toyota offered a better warranty, I'd consider them too.

Maybe...I don't have kids so I wouldn't know if it's convenient like the l that

Thats awesome! I'm glad I could be of help 😊

Thank you for the tip!

Oh wow, that's a pretty bad design flaw. Sorry to hear that it happened to you. I'm sure it bummed you out a little, plus the paint damage...dang..

No worries, you will get there with hard work and dedication. Instead of focusing on the subscriber count, focus on the videos and your content. People that like that content will follow automatically! Heads up and go at it!

Why do you think am I not being objective?

I'm glad I could be of help. the 1lbs weight approach is interesting. No i haven't done anything remotely close to that. Honestly I can't trust the self steering feature in a city driving circumstance which is why I rarely (almost never) use it in that occasion. I have tried in the very beginning but it almost ran up a curb once and I was like..."yeah, nah..." Open highway though, no problems (with the exception of the "take a break" annoyance). I don't think you can turn it off though. I've tried looking through the menu of the car and couldn't find anything.

@@UrbanAutoAdventures I actually find my self using the Lane Keeping Assist in my small town as long as there is double lines for the system to see! Having another set of eyes on the road makes me feel safer. I only wish the full HDA 2 wasn’t restricted to Interstate Highways, I also love the one touch lane change since I’m usually driving almost always hands free and watching that the steering system is active. I do wish Hyundai would put the centering arrow on the heads up display? That would be nice.

I see. Yeah if you drive on a road that has good visibility of the lines, it definitely works much better. I don't think Hyundai will incorporate the full HDA into local driving circumstances any time soon though. Too big of a liability for the company I think. Plus, I don't think we have a good enough road infrastructure to make it available on all roads. Sure, big city areas and suburbs are good, but out in the country, there may be some roads that aren't even on google maps :D. Yes I like the one touch lane change too. AND it's actually very intuitive. I've had speeding people just cut me off right before switching lanes, and it actually saw the speeding car approaching and stayed in the original lane to avoid an accident. Regarding the centering arrow on the HUD, I think that would be nice too

@@UrbanAutoAdventures If you get a chance and since you own great filming equipment, I would love you to tryout the cheap 1 Lb wrist or ankle weight on the right side of your steering wheel and see if you experience any issues or like me absolutely love not having to drive or touch the steering wheel on road trips! I regularly drive 120 miles from Woodward, OK to Oklahoma City, OK and can make this trip with only touching the steering wheel 2 TIMES!

@@ElRobo1956 It sounds very tempting and I will actually try it out because I do use the feature on longer road trips quite a bit.

It's a very nice suv, I'll admit. Plus now that it's even bigger it's become even better. Congrats on your new car!

It absolutely does!

LoL. I know it sounds crazy but I actually like it. I have the same trim on the dash on my '23 palisade and I enjoy it. I honestly don't see a problem with wiping it down and keeping your car clean but I have seen TONS of car owners who don't give a damn about their interiors so I can see why this could be a nuisance. Also, I don't have kids, so maybe that's why I still like it and it doesn't bother me to wipe it down every so often. If I had to do it daily, oh yeah, I'd be pissed too.

Exactly just without the car parking lol

LOL...It does resemble it a little...not gonna lie :)

Camry doesnt compare, no panaromic, no self parking, no good looking wheels and no electronic boot....plus the grill looks ugly af

I own a 23 limited hybrid and I like it better.

Maybe in the front a littttlee bit, if you squint your eyes real hard :)

It's mostly unchanged, correct. I was told the only changes were the front bumper, the wheels and the interior updates (touchscreen display and more speakers)

Belleza ❤

As soon as they get them, I'm on it!

@UrbanAutoAdventures Hopefully, next month they will show the refresh

At this point, they never gonna redesign it

it's understandable that some people would prefer the touch pad. I, for one, really think it's annoying but if it works for you then great. I just hadn't met anyone yet to say they liked it. In that case, yes, it would be cool if Acura/Honda provided both options. Thank you for your input!

@UrbanAutoAdventures reason some people agree about problems is they are like tumble weeds and agree with anything that seems popular. I like touch screen because it's faster to get to, but often in most cases I rather track pad as I can hold look at road and press either Sirius radio channels or category, or navigate menu, or navigation. But most complaints is not using enough to get used to it as I had learning curve along with family members. Too many things Honda listen to only reviews online like jobs complaints about volume nob which has steering wheel controls.

you don’t need to have a spare, cuz the tires are run-flat.

Yea, I was told after I made the video that it doesn't come with a spare which I think is also kind of a bummer.

@@jusnass303 Run flats can have blowouts. On past cars I’ve had to replace run flats way more than cars with conventional tires. No coincidence. My BMW salesperson convinced to get tire insurance. I soon realized why. Lesson learned

Run-flat tires are good for if you are driving mainly on local roads at low speeds. But when it comes to driving on the open road, at longer distances, trust me, you'd wish you had a spare tire. I've seen tires blow to pieces at higher speeds. It doesn't matter if its run flat or one of those temporary inflation systems I've seen on other makes. If your tire is shredded to pieces you are stuck on the road.

@@UrbanAutoAdventures Tku for that comment. Rubber is rubber. Run flat or not. I take 1200 mile round trips quite often. MDX Advance is at the top of my list.

Yes, finally! I feel like that was kind of the only "turn-off" for the MDX. Well, that and the 3rd row in my opinion. They should take that out as well, it'll create so much more room in the second row. Thanks for the comment! :)

The few people I know who have a recent MDX have little kids in the 3rd row or they have it folded down all of the time for a ton of room. This is a really nice vehicle. AC/Heat never seems to be an issue. The ventilation is good in that third row unless it is super hot/cold.

@@NMan40Yes….we only really need the third row for a week every year when the grandparents visit and we throw the kids back there so we can all fit in one car. It’s great for that, and we like not owning a longer vehicle that would take up more garage space.
