Thank God for the good (and bad) experiences recently.

 

Thank the person who drew my name for winning the weekend driveaway.

 

Thank bro Lawrence for heads up on this event.

 

Thank MCF / SCGM / Komoco for their generosity to allocate me not a 2.0, but a 1.6T Tucson and with almost full tank of petrol.

 

I had a very positive experience (and some points for improvement) about the new 1.6T Tucson since the collection 2 days ago. Can't bear to return it tomorrow (may I return my old one instead???  [:p] )

 

This ride is a far cry from my existing one which already gave me some positive experiences I had with a Korean ride but didn't find it in Jap ones. Those concerned with badge please "blindfold" yourself to try this ride out. It is by far my best driving experience (in dry weather). Even compared to an AWD SUV mated to CVT.

 

Exterior - instead of resembling an SUV, this somewhat a raised hatch, maybe a CUV cum SUV; this needs no intro. My ride is silver. Under certain lighting condition, may mistake as white if in well-maintained condition. Black plastic trim on wheel arc & skirt gives it a sporty / rugged feel.

 

Features - given a 1.6T, comes with keyless entry, e-tailgate, corner light, chrome door handle w welcome light. also has see-me-home light if set to auto headlight. wing mirror unfolds when u near front door even before pressing button on door handle to unlock. Key fob also has tailgate open / close button; cover is nice color of brown / gray depend on lighting - very special color; hope to have it as car color.

 

Interior - gettin in is easier since it being raise hatchback instead of full SUV. being all-black & local fitted leather, nothing to shout about. but leather is taut, interior space as good as prev except less headroom. driver gets electric seats adjustment w e-lumbar adjustment. steering is reach & rake adjustable. Gear knob nice to hold & button on it is matt chrome very classy though cannot see if u don't purposely notice. Centre console box cum armrest can be a lil longer i feel though no issue w resting of elbows for me n partner. Aircon is cold even during hot weather (new car noted). All buttons & steering control (incl cruise control but not adaptive) well put with no freeplay. Blind spot detection avail for my trim. Seats are relatively firm but comfy (as a gauge i can only say not as firm as contis like BMW X1 / Land Rover Disco); front headrest can be moved up n forward. my model dunno wc model - aircon is manual adjust using knobs. rear seats has centre armrest w cupholders.

 

ride - chassis feel taut when going over humps at an angle. very stable ride (dry weather tested only); doesn't panic when depress accel during bends. have engine sound, but also power. doesn't feel like 1.6T, more like 1.8T - 2T. accel til 3-figure speeds still stable; i thot was 2-figure speeds. when travel at 80-90 i thot was 60. on Kumho tyres (not conti / jap tyres) some more. on 17" alloys, over uneven surfaces / humps / strips felt comfy when going over. nvh insulation is definitely better than some rivals like the Harrier - engine makes lotsa noise but car doesn't move as urgently. I enjoyed listening to music on board a car for first time (prev cars all BnB type so road noise affected enjoyment of music). Engine note nice to hear. paired w DCT, gear shift pretty seamless, though i expected it to changed gear a lil faster.

 

ICE - as if Hyundai hired acoustic engineer; with such sound system n sound quality, don't waste money to upgrade speakers and amps and HU. output can match / beat those cars with few grands spent on ICE. 8" supposedly locally fitted HU c/w 10-band EQ, Galactio GPS (need some getting used to as I'm used to TomTom format), sound n video file playability (so far no issues with all my sound / video files), able to display foreign language (mine has Jap ). However, I'd prefer touch sensitivity & search speed a lil sensitive & faster respectively.

 

Likes - better than expected performance, handling, NVH and ICE

 

Improvement - price can be lower, nicer color options (e.g. pearl white, mandarin gold)

 

Conclusion - I got hooked to driving the 1.6T Tucson; may I return the old one instead???


Pls note I'm not trying to advertise for Hyundai, but I genuinely found it a very competent contender in its category. I'm currently driving a 9-yo one and am switching to another Jap ride due to family needs and not wanting to spend beyond 110k for a new car.

Well writen bro!!! [thumbsup] 

 

Thanks to bro fuelsaver, after begging him to let me take the driver's seat for a while, I was given a real drive of this 1.6T Tucson.

 

Simply blown me away, and I totally agree with what bro fuelsaver has written. Love this car, just be alert on the speedo, quite easy to get a speeding ticket without realising. [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Depends, if 1-5M, I'll still settle for Hyundai Tucson 1.6T or Kia Sportage 2.0GT.. dowan to spend so much on cars esp conti where svc cost n parts replacements cost premium n only 10yrs tenure. I like the feeling of cash rich. Likely to buy 1-2 pet properties too :)

 

N I don't think every aspect will surpass them either. For example, BMW 2 series ice sound quality is nowhere near Hyundai n Kia.

I wish!!! [laugh][laugh][laugh]

 

thurs toto if I tio, I straight away go buy one,! ^_^[laugh]

Ok hope u tio!!! Huat ah!!! Then u must come my place let me relish as a passenger..
