Hyundai owners come forth

^^I agree but one must not expect much from that old tech engine (iron block design) with no VVT at all mounted to a dated 4-speed auto tranny. Fuel economy would be poor especially since for a compact SUV/Crossover, the Tucson is Heavy. With 139HP and 184Nm of peak torque I suppose it was good while it lasted. Other than that the engine and tranny is solid as the rest of the vehicle.

norstar2k - this week finally, Toyota Ltd. of T&T gave a full-page press release on the Exp. newspaper stating to local owners that - owners have nothing to be concerned about on the recalls as our range here in T&T do not carry the same specs. Just confirming what I said previously.

Very good vehicle and high safety rating, I swear by hyundai...have owned a 96 and 08 elantra.
A family member was in an accident with one where it rolled a few times and all three occupants survived.
You won't regret it.

THESE ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT IN N&M DIESEL COMING IN MAY.......

the man say 80 eh wtf they think it is? Now N&M will get smart and raise the GL model from $216k to $235k

yeh no doubt they will raise the price due to the sales response....

lily_evo-X · Postby **lily_evo-X** » April 18th, 2010, 10:46 am

THE 216K WAS AN INTRODUCTORY PRICE... IT WAS MENTIONED TO THE POTENTIAL BUYERS THAT THE PRICE WAS GOING TO BE RAISED WITH THE NEXT SET OF ORDERS. SO SAID SO DONE. WHO VEX LOSS CUZ THIS IS A GREAT SUV AS HYUNDAI HAS IMPROVED THE QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES. SOON THEY WOULD BE IN PAR WITH THE BEST CAR MAKERS OUT THERE. really great investment if u ask me.....

yea folks,i pre-ordered mine since february,paid 20% downpayment and have to wait probably till july-august till it gets here.

Mazdout · Postby **Mazdout** » May 3rd, 2010, 10:02 am

N&M, keeping demand more than supply. Shouldn't have to wait so long for a vehicle, that was then about 30yrs ago. What happens when you need parts?

GMAN · Postby **GMAN** » May 5th, 2010, 9:44 pm

i have mine 3 1/2 years serviced by the firm . I go all over the place, no problrms no issues in fact, its quite tough considering what i put it through beside i sail thourgh roadblocks easy..( cause i got the police issue :wink:

). I am going for the new model but next year. Good all-round-all purpose vehicle

Postby **Daren 3NE 2NR** » May 18th, 2010, 9:30 pm

Excellent buy. I owned the previous version, sold it a month ago and placed an order for the new one. Best value for money especially if you have to compare price of parts etc with other suv's in its class. The previous model was great on gas as well.

Evening fellows,

Just a heads up, if you see PAZ 6440 (blue hyundai elantra) Ask the person driving it if they willing to sell, and let me know. That was my first car, and i would like to get it back to do a project.

Thanks!

Well this is a woman - and I need help from the men. I'm new at this - I have a Hyundai Accent 2000. i need to get a hub for the front right tire. Where can I source this? I called a few places but nothing. Thanks.

dervynayr · Postby **dervynayr** » August 9th, 2011, 12:32 pm

Good Day all,

I am new to the Hyundai thing, interested in the new 2012 hyundai accent....
Test drove one and it felt quite impressive.... for a diesel vehicle!!! I think the turbo is quite impressive for an entry level vehicle.

Anyone out there with a 2012 accent per chance??
