We're planning to buy this car. I already had test driven it I'm quite satisfied with its performance. Does anyone already own this? Care to comment on its performance and reliability? Thanks
test drove the crdi tucson this morning...and i must say that it's a great ride...very smooth driving, very quiet even at high speed, plus the features all bundled together! wow! but, im opting to get tyhe much affordable gas variant, will be going back sometime this week to test drive it...how about u? btw, fuel consumption for tyhe gas is around 8.5 km/liter (at least) for city driving...got it fropm a foreign ticson forum...
On reliability, I think it's a bit early to tell, for the local market since it's a new offering. Perhaps other websites have inputs on this. Performance is okay. It's got a low end kick, but then it seems to lose some of this kick when the revs go up. And there are quite a lot of plastic touches on the interior, like the dash for instance. Customer space is great. Overall, it seems to be quite a solid SUV with a very reasonable price for SUVs of its size.

what d u plan to get?
I also plan to get the gas version. I already test drove it and I must say the power is adequate. My real apprehension is really on reliability.
yung sa akin 2wd , AT CRDI, bought in korea September 2004 while i was stationed there. So far, wala pa namang recall akong nabalitaan or nabasa pa. Sa ngayon, almost 2 months na dito yung aking karitong tucson using local diesel ( shell lang po ang gamit ko) at wala pa ding kausok usok at the only time it went to shop ay nung nagpa change oil ako (pwere usog). Sarap ihataw sa nlex, ang lakas ng hatak at ang bilis sa accelaration and i am averaging about 10Km/liter for mixed highway-city driving. OT na yata ako. BTW, hindi available yung gas version sa korea.
