A wonderful small SUV
I have always enjoyed Minivans and good old fashioned station wagons, so the SUV craze hasn't thrilled me - at least not until my wife and I bought a new 2002 Santa Fe "way back in the day." It had all the things I liked Plus the Hyundai reputation. We drove that thing for over 115,000 miles before I sold it to a friend who Still uses it every day. We also have a 2014 Sonata that was purchased new, trading in our 2011 Sonata. When my old Dodge Caravan started costing more than it was worth, we decided it was time for me to have a new car for commuting (60 miles round trip in East Texas). We looked at a couple competitors, but we just couldn't match the year end offers for a similar vehicle. We first drove a Kona, but decided it was just a little too small for those occasions we might take it for a trip. As soon as I sat in the drivers seat of the Tucson Value Edition, I just felt like I was slipping into the Santa Fe, only with a lot more nifty features and options. The room, the feel, the way it drives - it's perfect.
