  Hi, anyone out there driving either SUV? Care to share with me your thoughts and views? I'm contemplating getting either one, but can't decide. Basically, Kia is owned by Hyundai, and both SUVs share the same platform, engine and mechnical stuff. Price-wise, Kia is $2k steeper.
  
  Appreciate your frank comments!
  
  Thanks!

  Have read from magazine(Aseancars-Feb2005 issue) that actually both are using the same engine/Technology as Kia is part of Hyundai Group...

  Of course a Tucson lah! Got a larger supporter base. When more people drive it, it is easlier to find accessories, mods and support.
  
  Go to www.sgtog.org to read about it. Read what you can do with your new tucson.

  er boys, the 2.0L Tucson is a 2WD car. Only the 2.7L is a 4WD. So driving a Tucson 2.0 is no diff from your 1.6L car.
