Replying to: sockpuppet1969 (Nov 14, 2005 12:44 pm) Ultimately it is a matter of opinion. Still you could have made your comparison a bit more relevant if you had indicated upfront you were comparing an I4 to a V6. A casual reader would not have known that, irrespective of your opinion as to real world relevance, it is something people do consider. If the shoe was on the other foot you would certainly call it CR-V bashing if this type of information was left out. Besides to quote Shakespeare "me doeth think you protest too much".
#114 of 211 Not protesting... by sockpuppet1969 Nov 15, 2005 (10:29 am)
just relaying my reasoning behind buying the CR-V over the Hyundai. As I said before, the Tucson is a great little truck and I hope you are happy with it. From my perspective, you are the one the doeth protest too much.

Replying to: sockpuppet1969 (Nov 15, 2005 10:29 am) Regarding Not Protesting and Mileage Math... I think one interesting point about this debate is that we're going on and on over two FOREIGN CARS... No American SUVs are even getting a mention. As for me, the last four cars I owned were American. All were duds.   I bought a 2005 Tucson GLS with the V6 in August. First BRAND NEW car I've owned in 42 years of driving. I LOVE it. We compared the Tucson to a friend's CRV and liked the Hyundai's added safety features, ride and the fit & finish both inside and outside. Style is not a major consideration since we drive cars at least 7-10 years. Plus, the Tucson was about $6,000 less than the CRV. Have almost 5,800 miles on it now and absolutely NO problems. If it keeps up that way, I'll be a brand-loyal customer. Replies to this message: sockpuppet1969 (Nov 17, 2005 10:22 am) guyf (Nov 18, 2005 8:13 am) rdillier (Nov 18, 2005 11:23 am)

Replying to: rdillier (Nov 17, 2005 6:33 am) What added safety features does the Tucson have that the CRV does not? Replies to this message: guyf (Nov 18, 2005 8:13 am) rdillier (Nov 18, 2005 11:23 am)

Replying to: sockpuppet1969 (Nov 17, 2005 10:22 am) Stability control?
#118 of 211 Re: Not protesting... [sockpuppet1969] by rdillier Nov 18, 2005 (11:23 am)
Replying to: sockpuppet1969 (Nov 17, 2005 10:22 am) Stability Control, Traction Control, six airbags, standard driving lights, heated windshield wipers, electronic brake force distribution and a spare tire that's not mounted on the tailgate raising the center of gravity. At least that's what I thought in August.
#119 of 211 Safety features by sockpuppet1969 Nov 18, 2005 (2:39 pm)
CR-V has stability control, traction control and electronic brake force distribution. I hardly see the spare tire thing as a safety issue. Ditto heated windshield wipers (might get you going sooner in the morning but as long as you have a brain and don't drive with your windshield iced over it is not a safety issue, more of a convenience issue).   CRV is also proven safe in crash testing. Tucson has yet to be tested. Replies to this message: tenpin288 (Nov 18, 2005 3:09 pm) averigejoe (Mar 27, 2006 6:01 pm)

#121 of 211 That is great... by kyfdx HOST Nov 18, 2005 (3:15 pm)
..but this is a prices paid forum for the Tuscon..   We have a lot of forums available for comparing the Tuscon and CR-V... or, just to discuss the Tuscon's many attributes...   So, let's move it on over there...   thanks, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums
#122 of 211 I paid 2005 Tuscon LX by aladinlamp Nov 22, 2005 (10:25 pm)
I paid $17099 (= 22099(MSRP) - 2000(dealer disc.) - 1000(customer cash rebate) - 1000(Hyundai finance rebate) - 500(Hyundai royalty rebate) - 500(trade-in of 98 Elantra with dead transmission)). As mentioned in the title, this is 2005 model, not 2006. I drove it upto 500 miles so far and I really like it. My cash on it was worthwhile.
