"The Guy with the Hat"
The only disappointments I've experienced have to do with the apparent rapid turnover of personnel. Just as I grow fond of an employee and develop an admiration for his/her work ethic and efficiency, so many have seemed to have moved on and are no longer employees. Therefore, it's can be a challenge at times to develop a working relationship with a sales person, a service representative, or a mechanic. I suppose this is the case for nearly all, if not all of the agencies and therefore do not consider this to be a specific negative criticism of Parks Hyundai of Gainesville.
Finally, the product itself: I own a 2017 Tucson Limited which was manufactured in South Korea and initially engineered in Germany. I have to think too hard to nail down how many cars I've owned since my first, a 1947 Ford purchased by me when I was 15 in 1954 with money I made mowing yards at two to three dollars a clip. The engineering of the Tucson is fascinating. The 1.6 liter engine mated with a twin-scroll turbo feels like a V-6. The 7-speed dual clutch transmission is an engineering marvel. And those shifts are REAL, not phony like some of the ones now programmed into the continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) of some other popular vehicles. I thoroughly enjoy the ability to take it out of automatic and shift sequentially when that is my desire. Driving around near home with lots of "stops and goes" my Tucson gets over 30 mpg. It handles beautifully and is downright fun, especially on mountain roads. I suspect that the future of internal combustion engines for vehicles lies in forced induction and, because I feel quick shifts with no significant turbo lag, yet acquire such great economy - I feel that I've made a great choice for my needs. Though my four-door '47 Ford is my second favorite of all of my cars (mainly because of the big seats, front and back), the Tucson is by far my favorite thus far. Oh, and unlike my first car, the Tucson has a radio and a heater!
