Re: What car would you buy?
While I know you don't like Hyundai's much (or at all), I have to say they are nothing like the Hyundai of old these days. We've just bought a 2010 Elantra Touring which is a good SUV alternative. Bags of room in the back, probably more than the average SUV, 29mpg combined, 2 liter DOHC 138hp engine. Quite a surprise. I'm 6ft tall and easily fit in it. It's basically the i30 model in Europe with very little changes for the US market so it has the Euro style road handling and little of the body roll-armchair ride so common with the US auto manufacturers

Re: What car would you buy?
So we test drove Hyundai Tuscon, Honda CR-V & Toyota Rav4
The Tuscon has alot of bells & whistles but handles poorly and drives like a cheap car.
The CR-V is being redesigned for next year so the have a special edition this year which we really liked.
The rav4 was similiar to the honda with a bigger engine, we found going up a ramp that the CR-V handled it better.
Unless you go high end neither the CR-V or Rav4 come with bluetooth, so we enquired as to how much to add.
CR-V $300 Rav4 $900
