想买辆SUV, 看上了Tucson, 请教大侠,这款车怎么样? 多谢!

两万多的价格可以买个SUV当然划算啦，我试开过4缸的Tucson，加速差些，减震偏硬，去年刚出的车应该很少人知道它到底好还是不好。本人的车是Santa Fe 2001，感觉不错。:rolleyes:

that car based suv is soooooooooo under-powered

Thanks for you two's replies.

I am also considering Ford Escape hybrid, but the price of this hybrid is near $40,000, big difference between the two. Any comment for the hybrid?  Thanks a lot.

I would rather a 2nd-hand US brand SUV, not a new Korean brand SUV.
Performance, Security, steability and so on, so on...

Escape hybrid没开过，但是开过escape 2000年的车，动力性很好，不过舒适性一般，我开过的SUV车里最舒适的是cherokee V8，不过也许因为车重加速性比我的车要差很多。escape在打滑时自动换成四轮驱动设计的不是很好。

不要以为hyundai的车都很差，2001 Santa Fe V6的发动机是Honda的，Transmition是Porsche的shiftronic。

我现在常开tribute(exactly same as escape), 不太喜欢. 高速上感觉有点飘,座椅不舒服,高速开时间长了后背疼. 不过我开的是01年的车,近几年的不清楚,你还是自己去试试车吧.如果你是环保主义者,买hybrid我没话说,如果不是,差价足够补油费了.

Tucson is there since 2004. The 2007 model is coming. Look at the awards the Tucson is getting,  Hyundai had never get that much awards for a single model.

KIA Sportage is the same design, but different assambly plant, the quality is much lower than Tucson.

Have to admit the V6 2.7L is not so powerful accelerate like 3.3, 4.7L, that make sense. If you think about save gas, go buy CR-V or RAV4. Finally CR-V get rid of the rear spare tire.

The average gas consumption never lower than 10L/100KM. In winter always around 11-12L/100KM.

What I heard from Hybrid buyer is, not worth it. You will not actually save gas as you expected.

Did you see the price of Tucson is increased around 50 to 80CAD on each model since Jan. 1, 2006. I bought it on Decembre 30, 2005. When they raise price they won't let you know, when they said they are raising price or stop promotion, you can wait, because they won't.

Insurance is cheap because of the safety features. My all insured with replacement cost on around 1K.

You won't buy a solid car with this Money, but it will worth it. Besides, I like the exterior look of the car.
