anybody have a Hyandai Tuscon??

we are looking to buy a nice pre-owned and I was wondering if anybody has any BAD experiances??

what about a Sante Fe......

the wife likes them:noidea:

oh hey Wheely, you can move this if you like.....

My grocery getter is a Hyundai Elantra Wagon and I have had nothing but great luck with it. The warranty is excellent. Not that I have used it for much. My aunt bought a Santa Fe last fall and seems to like it alot also. My brother has an Entourage and likes it too. I'm waiting on a Hyundai truck.:rockon:

I don't have the tucson, but I have the Kia Sportage (which is the same car over here...just slightly different body shape and interior fitout). The kia looks a bit better imho.

Pros
Looks decent
Fair amount of power
Cheap
4X4 (stop laughing)
Long service intervals

Cons
Thin panels and micro thin delicate paint
Sucks more gas than comparably powered Nissan X-Trail
Interior wears fast
4X4 more for show than anything
Questionable longevity (had this one 2 years and seems more little stuff goes wrong the older it gets...and we're EASY on cars)

If you can find a Mazda, Nissan or Toyota ...even if it costs a bit more...I'd seriously consider it first. We had a Nissan X-Trail and loved it. Build quality was second to none...and it felt like it the whole time we had it. We just wouldn't buy what we've got now, again.

anybody have a Hyandai .....

:lol:

Yeah! Sure!

Good one Bunny!! :bowl:

Dont get me wrong, some of there saws are great......

thier other products and thier company policy's really SUCK......

that company can go to :censored: ........ have you ever had to call them for anything?? Try getting a human on the phone......

The wife wanted a Santa Fe so we test drove one two years ago. Watch out for the 2.7L V6. It'll get worked to death pulling this SUV around. Has to do too much down shifting.

Then we tried the 3.5L V6. It could smoke the tires almost anytime. Almost scary.

I believe the newer versions have a 3.3L which might be a nice touch.

All in all they are a nice vehicle, but I just can't see giving the dealer my 2000 Silverado and $15,000 for something that only gets less than 2 mpg more. Besides, my truck only has 107,000 miles, is paid for, and I only put about 7000 miles a years on it anymore.

Staring 2004 Hyundai really stepped up the quality. The wife and I own a Sonata and it's been a darned decent car. Rides a lot bigger than it is. The warranty is great, if you ever have need of it. We haven't.

are they american made cars? just a question...

Dont get me wrong, some of there saws are great......

Saws hjacked this un JR
so what
Yep Its is gitting a little rowdy and not for tha preacher man.
So what

HEY FUNSUCKERS.......it was my thread, we can highjack it now......:wave:

Stihls are too slow for my taste hombre.

Husqvarnas run at a higher RPM making them more productive for what I use them for.
You can throw meaningless numbers that you copied and pasted at me all day long.
Unless you cut timber then I really dont care what your opinion is. :mad:

I love when people try to look like they know what they are talking about.....

I just learned something about you, your a fanboy, who talks about things that you have NO idea about......

next time you have a thought about anything chainsaw related, DONT.......

As far as numbers that I copied and pasted.......

I WORK ON CHAINSAWS FOR A LIVING.......and for fun I CUT between 100-150 cords of firewood a year.....(land clearing/logging jobs)

this is one thing THAT I DEFINATLY have more knowledge about than you do....

NOW instead of making yourself look DUMB.......STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU DONT KNOW.....

SHOW ME THE PROOF.......

give me a comparable model's HUSQVARNA and STIHL and show me where one is FASTER......:noidea:

YOU DONT KNOW DIDLY ABOUT CHAINSAWS:noidea:

Because I feel that you are probably not very well versed in the world of comparable model saws.....lets take a look at SOME REAL NUMBERS....

HUSKY 395XP 13500 rpm TNL.............STIHL MS660 MAG 13500-13800 rpm TNL

HUSKY 372XP-13500rpm TNL................STIHL MS440mag 13500 rpm TNL....

HUSKY 357XP-13500-14000rpm (acceptable).......STIHL MS361 14500rpm TNL

HUSKY 346xp 14500 tnl................................STIHL MS260pro 14000rpm TNL

HUSKY 338XPT 13500 TNL.............................STIHL MS200T 13800-14200 TNL

HUSKY 350 13500rpm TNL....................STIHL MS270 13500-15000 rpm TNL

SO NOW....here is the proof....these are the more popular models of each company.....if you like I can go on all night.....

THESE NUMBERS WERE OBTAINED FROM ACCTUAL DOCUMENTS FROM EACH COMPANY

Ever think about caffeine free soda this time of night Bman?????
I pulled a Geo Storm from behind the barn this evening. If I can get it to hold water i'm gonna start running that back and forth to work.

Go ahead BMan throw some more numbers up to make yourself look good.

I have been using saws for about 11 years now, mostly industrial. So no, I guess I dont have any experience. You call firewood, and land clearing industrial? Get real man.

You just work on them, right? :noidea:

Ask any timber sawyer around here, they will tell ya the truth bud. :rockon:

If a tree fell in the woods, and someone was a logger doing the cutting, and their chainsaw broke....would Bunnyman fix it?

Anyway, instead of pondering the sound of one hand smacking...I DO have a question:

What are examples of bonified "industrial" chainsaw uses? I would have thought clearing forests would be fairly commercial equivalent.

Oh oh...and does anyone know what kind of chainsaw they used in the Texas chainsaw massacre? (actual massacre...original movie, and modern remake)?:dizzy:

I think I might have had one too many pain killers....screen is melting. :)

Me and Chip are good friends Buster. :mad:

I'm glad I know your opinion. I can respect that. I have mine as well. :bored:

lots of people cut lots of wood around here. Stihl is the biggest seller in this area. not sure if that makes it the best. im not up enough on chain saw facts and figures to prove anything one way or another. i do know some of them that come into my buddies small engine shop are pretty old. seems like no matter the brand though those who own whatever brand swear by them i have a small Stihl here but i paid $20 for it a garage sale it tells ya what kind of shape its in.

:focus: I looked at both of those vehicles Bunnyman.. problem is the gas mileage.. and for the overall quality, i keep bouncing back to the Honda CRV..
Still havent bought anything, but am getting closer.. i have really decided that higher MPG is the major factor right now... so may end up with a Honda Fit... ahead, laugh....


and as far as Chainsaws... I've been around them all my life, I grew up in lumberjack country, Northern NH, and Stihl is the way to go.

We have an Accord now, and thats been a GREAT CAR.....I am thinking the CRV might be the way to go.....one of the issues is the cargo room and getting the rabbit carry cages in the back and enough room for us all to fit....

Trailer hitch and build/buy a cheap little trailer to tow.

Since there aren't really trucks over here (well...sorta but that's a whole other thread) most people have a ball hitch put on anything they buy....even sports cars! You can buy/rent little trailers for fairly cheap all over the place. They are only about 6 feet square, but they suit their purpose.

We rent one to take yard waste to the dump on clean up days (i.e. limbs from our hedge and stuff that doesn't chip easily). A little utility trailer comes in handy...and opens up your options for a people mover.

Also...those little trailers are GREAT in the woods. Small enough to move around the camp by hand...and some people here even pitch a tent over them...throw a mat in the back....and sleep in it once they get all of their gear pulled out and put under a tarp.

They use these little trailers to transport from 4 to 8 national champion show dogs...and they are worth about $5k to $12k each.

A little more elaborate than I was thinking, but how good are you with a welder? :)

They make trailers for anything now a days. Bunny, you could even go so far as to put little shockabsorbers on each cage. Don't forget the poly pans 'cuz you wouldn't want the trailer to rust in a few years.:laugh:

If you get a chance, measure the cargo area with the 3rd row of seats in the down postion, and the up position.....:rockon:

Have you thought about a mid-size of small 4 cyl truck with a crew or club cab? Might be reasonable and still break 20 mpg.
