CRV sucks

[Rabscallion69]

hey i am jsut wondering if this car can tow an atv in a small trailer such as the SnowBear 4½-in. x 7½-ft. Landscape Trailer ? I need to tow my atv around which is around 350lb

hope for a response, would help alot thanks

Why this guy is comparing a Tucson (a best seller in its class around the world) with a Mazda CX-7?? That is not fair, both cars are in a totally different segment and price range (CX-7 cost MANY THOUSANDS MORE). Next time, why not comparing that CX-7 with a BMW X3 or to a Audi Q5??... Damn!!

The2011 tucson volumes and design seems like a fly

[davidhalifax]

I guess Hyundai should at least offer the V6 version back for people that don't put gas prices on their priority list to make the Tucson more exciting to drive.

[TV843]

Other than the Mazda, which you mentioned in the review, what small SUVs have you driven that you would say did "Wow" you?

[stevehammes]

@TV843 Other than the CX-7, none really come to mind. The CR-V is still pretty impressive.

[harrygoozee]

its pretty much same as santa fe

[rg0r]

Looks actually pretty good... Impressive Hyundai.



[Theobieze]

is this or the Sportage a better car?

[wtrdogg20]

@Theobieze They are pretty much the same....but with different skin.

[kikinisyun]

@h4h4h4 Dude, you probably need a pair of new glasses, look again!

[kikinisyun]

This guy doesn't get it. Hyundai made only 4 cylinder for better gas milage. It actually have a sport suspension. Now for a 4 cilynder that have 176 hp is I think impressive, it even has more power than an older version of V6 Tucson with the fuel economy of a 4 cylinder.

crv 180hp 4 cylinder cost more

rogue 170hp

murano 265hp $3800 CND

Ford escape v6 240 hp transmission problem

rav 4 v6 269hp cost more.

[steve9509]

@kikinisyun what do you mean escape tranmission problem? my parents just bought one.

[Silvertrine]

@kikinisyun Disagreeing with someone and telling them 'they dont get it' are two different things. Your point really doesnt make much sense at all as you immediately dismiss the reviewer and then try and unsuccessfully twist the argument. Show a little more respect next time.

[kikinisyun]

@Silvertrine Ok smart guy! What you nedd is you need to get a life.

[kikinisyun]

@Silvertrine also what did I wrote that was disrespectful?

[Hughesburner]

I currently drive an V6 FWD '05 Tuscon and am not sure why this guy think it's forgettable compared to this model. I would take mine over this thing any day.

[carsaregood911]

@Hughesburner Are you serious? No offense but why? Just because of the V6?

[Hughesburner]

@carsaregood911 Not really because of the V6, it's comparable aside from the better highway mileage of the new model. It just seems as if the only advancements have been cosmetic. I just hit 65k miles, original owner and only have had to change the battery and brakes all around. I just don't trust the inline 4 yet, my model has proven itself over the past 5-6 years..unlike my friends newer Sonata that has been back to the dealership 3-4 times for electrical problems. No offense taken BTW..

[carsaregood911]

@Hughesburner Damn that's a bummer, but don't you think you friend might have been unlucky since the newer Hyundai are reliable as any Toyota? But I see what your saying, and I agree with you actually. My mom wants this new model or the new Sportage, we'll see what happens.

[valkyrieXX]

mazda cx7? are you freaken kidding me?

you say that the tucsan is a competition to the likes of the boring as hell CR-Vs and RAV4s yet you conclude that you didn't like it because it's not fun to drive like the CX-7, which isn't even in the same class and costs thousands more? were you on some kind of medication when you gave the review?

[palebeachbum]

Am I missing something here? Why did Hyundai not drop in the new 2.4L GDI engine? It makes more power and is better on gas. They instead used the old-ass 4cyl. from the last generation Sonata. Uh...why?

[TheNewMrCool]

So Steve, it wasn't as engaging and sporty as the Mazda, but was the CR-V or RAV4 a better drive in your experience?

If it's about on par with those two, its equipment and style should elevate it above, but only if it's comparable.

[maikumaku84]

I'm glad you pointed out the driving dynamics. Driving pleasure seems to be the only thing missing with this one, but Hyundai is definitely on the right track. - Stylish, light, good power-to-weight ratio, and well-equipped while still offering good value for money. Just needs to be more fun and involving to operate. Like always, Great review!

[keithie13]

hyundai is getting better at designing there cars this just shows us there improving this tucson is a lot nicer i mean A LoT haha but this design has to grow on me but the cars interior has really improved.
