Hyundai Tucson
-
I am keen to get a car, to zip around, to fetch and send my kids to school, do groceries, etc.
Can anyone tell me what is the cost involved for getting cars and how much I have to fork out monthly to "feed" this car.
Hyundai Tucson or Santa Fe looks fabulous for me.
Any reviews about Tucson or Santa Fe will be appreciated.
Or other brands too. -
Do you really need a vehicle that huge?
-
I believe the new Honda Civic more than meet your needs. If u have the moolah, i think u should go for jap cars instead of korean cars.
-
it might be better if u could get a toyota wish. its not realli expensive too. may suit ur needs.

wow..first of all i must say that i love the 2 models! though i do prefer tucson because of it's "mean ass bad look" exterior.
I guess if you are looking at tucson the last i enquired it cost 58,000 for an off peak license. Normal plate just additional of 17,000.
If you are putting a downpayment of 3,000. The bank interest is at 3.5% overall you may have to put down roughly about 450 a month for a period of 10 years.
Though i strongly suggest that you should buy when there is a car fair since they normally throw in better deal and lower interest rate! -

Hyundais are known to have attractive initial prices, but maintenance (petrol consumption, repairs, etc) are really high. I had a Sonata before (as a second car and not used much), and even after 5 years, the auto tranny was gone and I had to scrap it 'cos it was too expensive to repair. Not much power too (Hyundai has been known to "accidentally" over-rate their horsepower figures - and later had to give an apology for doing so in the US). Still, Hyundai has its team of loyal fans - as well as its team of loyal critics....just like everything else in this world.
Its hard to answer your question on how much you have to fork out monthly. It differs greatly from person to person - depending on how you drive, how much you drive, how much loan you take, your driving records, insurance scheme, etc etc. Whatever you do, please don't be conned into taking too long a loan.
If you want something affordable and practical though....I'd go for the Tucson between the two. The Santa Fe is far too huge and heavy (in both weight and maintenance)....hardly a "zip around town" car.
As for reviews for Hyundai, what better way than to hear it from the locals themselves? Right here: http://www.clubhyundai.org/. Go to the forums section.
Good luck on your decision! -
Actually, if your family is not that big (in numbers as well as personal sizes), and if your driving style is relaxed, a good agile "zip around town" car would be like the following:
Mazda 2
Honda Jazz/Fit
Mitsubishi Colt
I suspect that you may not like the above because you seem to be interested in SUVs, but I had to mention them. -
if u like SUV type... perhaps consider
toyota rush or
daihatsu treos. -
depending on the family size and ur need before u choose a car.the 2 cars u memtion are petrol drinker,post ur needs and the sgforumers advice u. that why this forum is for

hey , this felle is coming to sg soon.very zoom zoom -

Remember you just want a car to move around and do groceries. Hyundai Tucson or Sant Fe is not the car for you, they may look good but they are not the car for that purpose and if you are worry about feeding the car.
Tuscon is a SUV. You be travelling more city roads, it is better off if you buy a small sedan . Tuscon is very very hungry for fuel.
I would recommend Toyota vios or Honda city, they are nice small sedan that can carry your family and a big boot space for trollery and groceries.
Other cars may be good and cool , but vios & city is the most cost-economical and practical car for you.
