my understanding is the X-trail 2.0 FC is very poor, surely cannot compare FC with Tucson with new engine…

one more thing, X-trail looks antique and 10 years outdated… i think now uncle also may not accept X-Trail but good for people who love to collect oldies…hehe

Can anyone comment on coming new nissan Xtrail compare to the tuscon ? Which is worth for the money in terms of power, after sales service and maintenance ?

I have tested the car the only comment will be the back seat door if wider by 6 inches it will be perfect so that when you get in and out of the car the leg will not knock the center frame.

Would proposed the widen this area easier for teh leg to move in and out .

over all very good I plan to purchase one unit 2.4 series..

SA told us the warranty is only applicable if the terms and conditions are FULLY complied with. Therefore please read the fine prints before you start pushing it or else the waranty will be voided.

Al Maintenance must be done at Hyundai for 5 years or else no warranty. That’s where they make their money back!

The canvas they used to cover the glass roof doesn’t feel too “tough” to withstand the hot weather of Malaysia. Any comments on it?

Opposing Ken’s view.
went to a showroom for test drive, salesman demonstrated the sound system w a plugged in cellphone via the aux port meant for USB and ipod, running some music files on the audio system, sounds pretty good, u’ve got not only low & high to set n tune but ‘mid’ as well… well.. the fm receiver is just like most vehicle but reasonable.

Revving sound seems fine in fact, with a smooth acceleration on the ‘organ’ type accelerator pedal, the power kicks in with substance and at a noticably low rev! gear was noticed to shifts at about 1.5rpm and therefore possibly good FC.

depending on std or the high specs, the steering felt different, lighter in the std version perhaps without the presence of ESP. We got to test drive both, and there clearly was difference.

coming to stationary, engine idles with very minimal engine noise.. we’re surprised! at one point i thought the engine died off.

According to the salesman, the price increase is to reward the early birds who placed their bookings.

overall, the koreans did a good job on this one, now we pray for consistenct in their future models.

Plus w a 5 yr wty (or 300,000km)… it’s too much to ask for more when our arrogant T & H is selling their makes at ridiculously overprice.. but no one complains..

There ain’t an ideal car that fits your expectation and budget unless you are a billionaire!

Thus, there would always be a gap.

Ultimately, you must know what you want first.

If not, it would be a neverending comparison process!

Have been researching the new Tucson for months and done two test drives.

My two main problems with the car despite its seemingly competitive pricing, which btw went up by RM3k recently, are:

1. The poor visibility in the rear caused by a small and narrow back window.

2. Hyundai’s reputation for poor resale value. Even though the salesman said the new models are much better than the older ones, this does not change the perception of the brand. May takes a few years.

So may be a good idea to buy the car second hand after 2-3 yrs and you could get it 30-40% cheaper by then.

Hyundai Tucson is one of my favorite SUV. It’s bold in appearance also comfort to drive in a long range.

went to the showroom yesterday. nice design.
but the plasticky feel on the dash board and steering and center console is a big let down.

I testdrive the car recently at Hyundai HQ.Just like Ken said,too noisy during pick-up.

By: Ken

Ken — Mon, 10 May 2010 04:01:36 +0000

Anyknow know what is the turning radius?
I’m planning to get it. I drive a lot on highway. I guess this car with nice sunroof can be a breeze after work…..woho….

Downside:
- Side mirrow not electronic control (what do you call that??). Even vios has it!
- Rare seats behind looks rather cheapo. But the sunroof again compensate that. Keke..
- No body kit available yet? Will look very gang-ho if body kit available.
- Heard the parts can cost a bomb. Is that true.
- Sales men told me can take bith RON95 and 97. Got to know what Tetra II, better take only RON97. Who can verify that?
- Car with that price comes with normal front light? Aiyoh….why so lau-yah one….
- Car audio so so only. Test drive it during the weekend, sound system not impressive at all.
- Loud engine noise during pick-up but rather powerful. Anyone has the same thought about the engine noise?

Hyundai sime darby do something about the perception of poor after sales service n expensive spares u have done a good job bringing in the Tucson I have booked the 2.4 litre car without testing shows my confidence.

yoo guys,

I’ve seen the car in midvalley last friday. pretty impressive when passing by, V.stylish design, and from the side, v.much like audi Q7.

I’m currently planning upgrade my car to car budget at rm100k-rm130k max. Thou this car is much love at first sight. Especially 2.0 high specs, fit my budget and attactive specs which definitely far exceed those honda & toyota specs. Filled with sunroof, paddle shift, semi-leather seats, 2wd-lower fuel consumption etc.
however, still lack of confidence to commit as many ppl commented on hyundai car after sales services, durability which could affect the secondhand value in this market. after much considerations, i guess i would rather wait for new toyota wish 2009 design coming to MY. thou gotta give up the luxury settings of sunroof, leather seats etc.

Hey honda & toyota, cant you guys see the rival has begin?
