Korean I call my car

Hyundai, 2005, Tucson 2.0 CRDi Style Version 4WD

STORY PHOTOS

My car I purchased last year because I like its appearance, package features and all this for reasonable money. I took the full package version. So, I like its superb spacious inner with huge number of different compartments for small things, in addition it could be easily transformed into big bed. And of course it has amazing handling and easy maintenance. Its plastic molding bumpers round the body bottom are very useful thing, especially if to take into consideration I spend much time on bad country side roads.

Before this I owned Honda Civic of 1999 and I won’t tell you about its incontestable cross country advantage, even in the road I don’t worry more about existing kerb and deep snowdrifts. Before purchasing my car it were many warnings form my friends about bad noise proofing of Korean cars, however it don’t disturb me. The only thing it is noise form the front suspension it seems like the dumper post is knocked. And this appear from the very first time after the winter this noise become louder and at past scheduled maintenance I asked the mechanic about this problem. He tasted it for proper way however there were no beaks detected. So I wonder maybe this is normally for this model? If there are other Tucson owners who faced with the same?

The other is only good I even can afford to myself to be slightly hooligan at the road because it has not bad dynamic characteristics. I hope that this car will be no problem in future. Anyway for this money, I paid 18,000$ the quality is beyond the comparison. The cheaper is only China’s with shady reputation and weak package feature trims.

I love my car very much and don’t want change it!

Yeah it seems to be good car, especially taking into consideration the fact you get new car for money of used. Yes it is not so cheap but still not expensive for package you describe in your car story. Thank you, man.

I think this is not so cheap for such a car, 18 000$, but if it occurred a reliable one - I'll remember and take into my consideration this info. YOu knoe I like your cool car story, I like everything relating to cars, I'm a real crazy auto fan.

Generally speaking I don't really beleive Korean cars can stand one level as Japanese or Germans. Theprice is essential but I don't think you will like often car work shops visiting. I had a friend who's owning Hyundai Tucson. He says and assures this is a great car! Nice car story.

Dude this is the same as my car, even the same year. I have some problems with pillar noise proofing, but I haven't noiticed something bad with dumpers. You should do another service taste because it can be some defect that in feature will cause of big problems. This is advice of amature mechanic ;) I used to repair my previous cars by my own hands.
