Hi All,

Had a change of plan, Mustang/Charger (leaning toward s the Charger at the moment) on old for 6 months, need a cheap 4x4 for the time being. Plan is that Jenny 'inherits' the 4x4 when she comes out to Dubai and i am free to get what i want.

So then, company has offered me one of these in the mean time.
Hyundai Tuscon 2.7 V6 4wd.
Top spec with leather and all the gadgets.
I drove it yesterday and was pleasently suprised. Performance and handling where pretty good, it is around the size of a Freelander so not too barge-like, having driven a few Landcruisers which have the handling of a Panzer tank!

The engine puts out 190BHP and 260ftlbs of torque (in this market/region) which is not bad at all.
I have to have it with leather (which is a pita in this hot climate)at the spec i want or it is a special order which could take 6-8 weeks where as i can have a car from stock tomorrow.

Any thoughts?

 

I had one for a few thousand miles and it was fine, certainly nothing special, but fine.
