Hyundai Venue as a "toad" for the motorhome
For our purpose of having a vehicle to drive while our motorhome is parked in a campsite, this has met expectations. There were few options for a FWD with higher ground clearance than the average car. It's lightweight, short, and easy to pull on and back off of our tow dolly. It's a fairly comfortable ride and a good value for $22k (the SE). So far, with over 800 miles, it's averaging 37.8 mpg, and a number of those miles were up steep hills and while idling at the overlooks on Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. The IVT is smooth and likely helps fuel mileage. The back has plenty of room for a case of water and some groceries. If needed for larger items, the back seats fold down. The 10 year/100k mile warranty is added security. There was one on the lot and I got it! I feel lucky. I purchased new and drove a 2011 Hyundai Sonata for many years that was well-worth owning, and I believe this small SUV Venue will be also.
