The time had come to say goodbye to her 2011 Santa Fe. It had served her so well that it was hard to get her to look at brands other than Hyundai, but due dilligence compelled me to compel her to do so. Current Santa Fe - 'too big'. Honda CR-V - 'screams old man or soccer mom'. Mazda CX-5 - 'love the looks inside and out but a little small inside'. Toyota RAV 4 - 'don't like it'.
She settled on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson in Preffered / AWD trim. She's had it for a week now and is loving it. Her 6ft tall (and growing) teenage son gives two big thumbs up for rear seat legroom and headroom - and he loves the reclining rear seats. She just took it on a 400km return trip and loved every minute of it - 'smooth, stable, comfortable'.
If this one serves her even nearly as well as the last, she will be well pleased indeed.
