2010 Hyundai Tuscon

Friday, June 18, 2010 10:01

I am a single mother of two boys that just purchased a 2010 Hyundai Tuscon. I purchase this small SUV for the size and price which was within my single income range. It’s hard not to like my Hyundai Tucson. It was reasonable priced and has long list of standard features. Also, it provides good room to fit my boys and their gear for both hockey and baseball. About the only serious problem is too much interior noise which reminds me of my convertible car days. Overall, I am a happy Hyundai owner and for the price, recommend the Tuscon.

2009 Toyota Prius

I am female and retired school teacher that drives a 2009 Toyota Prius. The vehicle has exceptional fuel economy and lives up to the 45 mpg tag. Additionally, the vehicle may seems small but it has ample room for hauling my weekly grocery pick. The interior has a clean look for a sub compact with some futuristic features with a touch screen functionality. The downside to the vehicle is acceleration which is not the cars strong point, it moves steady by somewhat slow. Also, it is a great city car but on highways seems loose at higher speeds. Overall, I give the Prius a big thumbs up and will buy again if I outlast this one.

2009 Hyundai Accent

55 year old, semi retired male that is the grand child chauffeur. I drive a 2009 Hyundai Accent that has all the adds like sunroof, CD player, leather and power seats. Like the car, it has great rear seat room with no problem to fit the grand kids. It turns on a dime with great handling and the gas miles is good but always could be better. The one major downside is the car has a blind spot in the right rear which creates problems when changing lanes. Absolutely would recommend the 2009 Accent, love the car and would recommend it to any car buyer.

2008 Toyota Corolla

I am a 33 year old female that drives a 2008 Toyota Corolla LE.   It is equipped with a 6 Disc CD and leather seats which make the car have a comfortable seating.  The positives are nice interior room, great pickup, smooth silent ride with good gas mileage.  The only issue is with the trunk space which is limited but the back seat makes up for it.   The road grip at times, in rainy weather, is suspect but probably due to the smaller size of the vehicle.  Overall, I am happy with the Toyota Corolla and would recommend it to other drivers.

2008 Mazda 5

I drive a 2008 Mazda 5, I am 34 and married.  The car is great transportation to and from work with an ability to park it anywhere.  The interior is somewhat tight but has room to carry passengers.  For a small minivan it gets close to 30 miles per gallon which is a huge advantage to the Mazda 5.  The 5 is a economical purchase for those that need passenger space but want to minimize transportation costs.    The third row seat gives room for 3 small children but the cargo space is minimal.   Great economical value and worth the price for a family with small children that are looking to keep costs down. Definitely recommend the Mazda 5 is well worth the money.

2009 Honda Civic

I am a 24 year old single male and I drive a 2009 Honda Civic DX.  The overall style of the car is nice with the spoiler and it drives nice for a small 4 cylinder engine.  It has great comfort due to a quality suspension system. The engine runs soft and at times you do not know whether the car is on or not.  The gas mileage is a plus and it has comfortable seating which is great since I am tall.  I have found nothing I dislike other than it is a basic vehicle and I would want to move up to a nicer car if I had the money.  I would recommend it for both the style and price.  Honda makes a good car.

2007 Ford Edge

I am a 42 year married male with 2 children. I drive a 2007 Ford Edge with GPS, XM Radio,panoramic view, and leather seats.  The car rides nice and the GPS and satellite stereo is excellent.  Also, I like the seats which are heated and warm very quickly.  The only issue with the vehicle is the interior could have been made with better style.  The interior doors and dash have zero style and a boring plastic look.  The vehicle is a small SUV but the rear seating is good and fits child seats well.  I would recommend the 2007 Ford Edge overall and the price was hard to beat.

2007 Jeep Patriot Sport

I drive a 2007 Jeep Patriot Sport and am a 31 year old single male.  The upside to this SUV is the gas mileage is good for an SUV and I like the ride.  Also, I like that you sit up high and have good vision as a driver. The CDplayer and audio system overall is fine but not top quality.   The issues with the Patriot is the back seat does not have enough room for an adult and the placement of the cupholders in wrong.  I would recommend removing the cupholders to create more room in the back seat.   For the price it is right and I would recommend the Patriot overall bu8t you pay for what you get and this is a middle level SUV.

2007 BMW 328i

I am a 44 year old male and drive a 2007 BMW 328i.  It is a nice car with great acceleration and style, the audio system is great quality with high volume if you like it loud.  The downside to the car is it is not very roomy, as an owner for a few years it is tight, almost too small.    It really rides nice, you know you are in a luxury vehicle when you are cruising on the highway and handling is great.  I recommend the 2007 BMW 328i overall but definitely not for a family that needs any room.  The 328i is all about style and less about basic utility.  For the young and single, it is a great car.

2008 Mercedes E350

I’ve had my car for over a year and recommend it. It’s nothing super fast or over the top – just good upscale transportation. I have the black on black 4 matic which is the only way to go in Chicago weather. The only part of the car I would change is the GSP. My Garmin portable GPS is much better than the one built in. The GPS in the car gets you within a couple blocks of your real destination which can cause you some problems. Other than the GPS the car is rock solid. Also, I will never by a car with Sirius radio. Long live no commercials and Howard Stern – both make long trips very tolerable. You can find a 2008 Mercedes E350 at Autosales.com or Cartango.com
