gt, as I said "If it gets better, I'd buy another one", that means if I nail a job within couple of months.

At the moment I'm "renting" friend's car. He's leaving the country next week and is abandoning the car. So I just pay its monthly installment (consider it "renting", cheaper than the cheapest rate from rental car company, but I got SUV instead of Lancer/Yaris), at least until either I leave the country (if nothing comes) or next reg renewal (it'll get stuck, won't it?)


Thats a good deal now isn't it. Probally you don't give a rats @ss about parking on pavements, paking without tickets, or hadicapped zone and getting flashed now 8)

I thought you owned a Kia Sportage for some reason. Did you?

I owned Tucson V6 2.7L. And this friend's car is Tucson too (but 2.0L). Man, I can tell now that I want my next car (whichever type) at least having V6 ;)

No regret having Tucson V6. I would buy it again if I'd choose a compact & budget SUV.

From ur list 350Z. Full stop.
For it's cost u gonna get a real good engine, one of the best transmissions ever, slick look, descent handling, reasonable service charges and a car that with a proper driver will effortlessly leave far behind the rest from ur list.

Corvette????? Charger? Mustang? Guys u must be kidding me...

Although, pardon me, someone who would "choose a Tucson again" can't be a proper driver to start with IMAO...

you can't seem to differentiate the words "sports sedan" and "SUV" (clue: "if I'd choose a compact & budget SUV")

I do differentiate darling. Its just beyond my understanding that a Driver would choose a Tucson, and then would choose it again.
If u know a bit about cars u would better be walking than wasting ur money on something like this.
I'm not getting my dough from a bush in the garden, and I can't always afford the car I want, but in the worst times Tucson and alike are out of my dictionary.
No offence, it's just my point of view.

everybody have their own preferences. despite i'd choose a sports sedan for next, what's wrong by choosing the same thing again?

however, unless you're a car tester who had tested many cars or owned it yourself, it's said "you wouldn't know until you experience it yourself".

if i had more money, i might probably consider others. but until then i'd stick to the priorities where budget was my first, then new compact SUV/CUV was my second, as stated in my previous statement.
