Review of my car


I recently purchased a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. I was driving a 2004 Lincoln Navigator, and it was literally draining my bank account on the money I was spending on gas. I drive about 75-100 miles everyday and couldn’t afford it much longer. We decided it was time to look into purchasing a new car. We have a family of four and like I said, we spend a lot of time in the car. We wanted something a little larger than a car, but not as big as the navigator. We wanted something along the lines of a small SUV. We did a lot of research and we weren’t able to find many vehicles that were with in our price range. We didn’t want to spend more then $30,000. My husband had a friend who had recently purchased a Hyundai for his growing family. He had several good things to say about them. We started doing our research on them and found that since the brand if fairly new to the market, the reviews were limited. However, finding that they were within our price range and getting a good review from a friend, we decided to go check them out. When we arrived at the dealership there were several different styles and colors to choose from. The prices ranged from about $15,000-$40,000. We decided on the Tucson model. The Tucson is a little larger then a four-door car and gets great gas mileage. We were able to purchase it for almost $10,000 less then our budget. It has been about 6 months since we purchased it, and I don’t have a single complaint. We have taken about 5 road trips to Arizona, and the car has run great! The amount we spend on gas each month has literally been cut in half and the gas lasts twice as long. I am very happy with the car and would strongly recommend them to anyone!

  7. Nice Pam, your going to enjoy that new ride for a long time, isn't their warranty like ten years or something like that as well? The way these gas prices and our war situations are going who knows; ten buck a gallon isn't too far away?
