  • Hyundai Tucson - Advice please first big purchase 5 Mar 2019 (Forum)
    I preferred the tucson, she liked the qashqai n connecta. We compromised and decided to look for a tucson but diesel version with some toys on it (reverse camera, sat nav, touchscreen infotainment system).  Budget 12-15k. At least 2 years manufactures warranty left on the car.  Ideally I'd like to keep it for as long as I can really so it needs to have a reliable engine and not too bad on fuel, but understand I won't get the greatest mpg from an suv.
