Hello guys...
Selling off my 3 year old Proton Persona and planning to upgrade to SUV type vehicle.
Currently only the Hyundai Tucson catches my fancy...
Anyone had any experience on the new breed of Hyundai cars?
Thanks.

Copycat frm what bro?
From what I see... they appointed an own design team that came up with the Fluidic Sculpture Theme and it looks smashing at the moment.
Engine wise they joint venture with Mitsu and Kia to come up with GEMA world engine... which gives good power in paper.
The only drawback I can think of if resale value... but we are bound to lose money on cars right?
-
kia sportage?
-
Have you test drive Santa Fe or Sorento, at least you have 7 seaters when needed, can cope for future family grow, and not sacrifice the 4 wheel riding, just my opinion :Cheers:
-
the new santa fe is cool... tested its power.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
How about hyundai sonata. It is outstanding
-
Tried the Sonata, nothing to shout about.
For the price paid the options are little.
Engine is smooth but no much TQ.
-
han.
What are you looking at? and the budget?.
There are a few new launch every other day in Malaysia.
Want to look at some previews, lock onto Paul Tan automotive............

Budget around 150k...
I am a regular visitor of Paultan... aren't we all? ;D
Just need some feedback on the Hyundai tucson or any other SUV that might meet my budget and needs?
-
Honda CRV. Had one a long time ago. Never had a problem.
-
Why not try the Kia Sportage? Seems to be good value for money though I can't vouch for comfort and handling.
Looks like the Sportage has outshines it's bigger cousign Tuscon in every aspect. The best way to decide is to head to the showroom for test drives.
BTW, the pug 3008 is not bad too.
-
Why don't add an extra RM10K and go for the Kia Sorento? If I were looking for a 7-seater SUV, it's gonna be my best bet. Do a google for its review, and you'll be surprised as to how good it's been rated elsewhere.
-
There was a Kia Booth at my local shopping mall and I checked out the Sorento... pretty neat!!
Selling here at 163k... thinking thinking....
-
small size, i prefer Kia's Sportage, bigger size, i prefer Hyundai's SantaFe.
both fits your budget nicely.
or else go for 2nd hand RAV4 2.4 litre but recon.
-
It looks great, review also not bad. But being Korean made, not so much of quality issue ............... definately better than local one, ............. just the copycat image & their shameless culture of robbing other nation heritage & registered 'em as their own really put me off. :mooning:
no longer la fren

Done deal... dropped booking fee for a Hyundai Sonata... ;D
Now the long wait for the car to arrive...
I know I know... initially I was looking for an SUV but it somehow strayed to a mid sized saloon... :HammerHead:

Got my Sonata yesterday.
I bought the 2.0 high spec and comes packed with alot of goodies.
I am very satisfied with the car.
Granted is is not a Merc or Beemer but I think it gave the T and H a run for their money.
The 2 litre engine paired with the 6 speed gearbox provides adequate power...
I drove my boss' 2.4 litre version and I find it a little to eager, for daily use, I find the 2 litre one more enjoyable to drive.
Pricewise is cheap compared to the usual offerings frm T and H but the Sonata comes with keyless entry and start /stop button, panoramic sunroof, 6 speed gearbox and a killer design... for my eyes.
Comes with 5 year or 300000km warranty so I can have the car for 5 years without any worries...
After 5 years? Well, might post another thread here looking for a new ride... :Cheers:

Congrat Bro, Sonata is picking up in term of design and features. Yes, it will give a run to the T and H. But in KL, still see a lot of T on the road, but less H nowaday.

Thanks for the compliments...
The best I got so far was "Hey, this is like a poor man's Merc CLS" :HammerHead:

that's what you get for living in Msia, in U.S, you can prolly really get a CLS (maybe pre-owned 2 years old).
haha :HammerHead:
nice car, sporty low, but beware, my friend's ride got air-cond malfunction after 3 months.

Japanese car still the most worth it.
-
Honda CRV it is the best..i drive it too..its good
-
Anyone wanna buy new rides do let me know hehehe.....i deal all new cars...lets discuss hehe:)
-
cant go wrong with the HONDA CRV
-
u can try search for land rover air lander 2.5... nice and powerfull units
-
Tucson is worth to buy in term of space , power and design..
-
The new Tucson is worth the price and design imo.
-
A brand new Dream 125 is 1870. Bought one a few weeks ago. Looked at used as well, but the difference in price between the two made me decide to buy a new one. Maybe I looked in the wrong places for used bikes.
-
wonder hows the quality of korean cars nowadays with the new introduction of decent looking cars, maintenance as well. the big drop of depreciation should be taken into consideration as the total ownership cost is much higher than the buying price when its resale value is dirt low.
-
the Koreans have come a long way.
The Sonata is a handsome car today and even the Sante Fe looks great too.
A good option b for an affordable Sedan or SUV vs the Japs.
-
gratz on your new ride...
-
Congratulation bro :Cheers:
-
Its already 6 years since bro hanz bought the sonata..haha..upgrade soon?
-
Mercedes GLA 250 is really nice... if you have more budget, can opt for GLC or GLE coupes 8)
-
Now proton suv :thumbsup:
-
Proton X70 should be a good deal right now ;D
-
Haha Hyuundai kimchi cars will surprize u!
