Replying to: charlatains (Jun 27, 2007 7:00 pm) If you are in a situation where you need to seat 7 on a regular basis, then this or a van is the way to go (vans don't really deliver any better mileage). It's not economical to drive two vehicles given your impact on the environment would be even higher doing that. If you don't need the extra seating then then you can chalk it up to personal indulgence. Either way, your opinion is worthless because I don't think you've changed anyone's mind.

Replying to: arumage (Jun 28, 2007 3:58 am) Veracruz seems like a great vehicle for a family with 3 to 6 children of varying sizes. Good for a car pooler or scout leader or team coach who helps in transporting groups too, even over uneven, muddy, wet or snowy roads, especially with the all wheel drive option and some good tires. Really good mileage for all that too, and with over 260 horsepower. A Sienna or Odyssey or Entourage/Sedona would be fine if it was always on pretty smooth roads.
#13 of 164 First Fillup by carbuyer11 Jul 04, 2007 (11:33 am)
Only 520 miles on my AWD Limited. Achieved 16.2 MPG (true calculation- not trip computer) on the first fillup. A little disappointing although most of the miles were city vs. highway so I guess it's not shocking since the city rating is only 17. I'll be happy if the highway rating of 24 is realistic.
#14 of 164 900 miles on my GLS FWD by ultcar Jul 04, 2007 (1:18 pm)
(Purely based on the trip computer, resetting it after each refuel...) My fwd GLS was around 14-15mpg, in city only at first. After passing around 400 miles, mileage started getting better. Right now, city is about 18-19 mpg. Just took a 7-hr trip on the highway over the weekend, and highway mileage was 23-24mpg (75mph, w/air conditioning on & a bunch of cargo).
#15 of 164 Advertising by outbackj Jul 05, 2007 (6:13 am)
Wondering if anyone has an idea as to why the new Veracruz is NOT advertised in any of the papers or on tv? I would of never know about it if I hadnt gone to the NY Auto Show. Thanks Replies to this message: joe97 (Jul 05, 2007 6:37 am) nxs138 (Jul 07, 2007 5:37 pm) mkc99phd (Jul 10, 2007 7:49 am)

Replying to: outbackj (Jul 05, 2007 6:13 am) To tell the truth, the only commercials I remember seeing on TV for the new bunch of CUVs out there is for the Mazda CX-9.   I understand that the internet is a happening place for advertising, but I almost never glance at the ad, and if I do it's for just a few seconds. TV forces you to see it for 30 seconds.   I have this theory that the Veracruz didn't have a "full" launch, i.e. the dealers around me only have a couple on hand, never the Limited models. So it makes sense not to waste a lot of money on advertising if you don't have the inventory... Replies to this message: mkc99phd (Jul 10, 2007 7:49 am)

Replying to: nxs138 (Jul 07, 2007 5:37 pm) I saw my first ad on hte weekend here in Canada. Hyundai is sponsoring the World Cup under 20 soccer tournament. I have to admit that the commercial didn't make me want to run out and get one. Good thing I already have one!!
#20 of 164 Varacruz advertising by himi1 Jul 10, 2007 (11:20 pm)
The only advertising happening since the launch of the Veracruz was the word of mouth and internet web sites such as this one! And still the sales has increased to 1500 units in June. When we see some TV commercials in next few months sales numbers should be even higher. I hope Hyundai will ship enough VCs to US till then to satisfy the demand for it.
