Thanks @kezo. You mention the acoustic glass in Premium and up but would you say that’s worth it as I’m deaf? Some reviews say the road noise is a bit concerning so I imagine the acoustic glass helps with that, yes? Just seeing if it’d be an issue for myself. It’s been a while since I had a car that wasn’t a quick hatchback so checking if the Tucson is sluggish or quick for its size? Paddles help with downshifting? Saw the recent photos of yours and was very impressed; lovely looking car.
Sorry mate, I forgot acoustic glass would be as much use to you as a chocolate fireguard lol.
No worries @kezo, may be something to consider for me as my cochlear implant picks up the loudest noises (engine/road noise), so I tend to turn it off whilst driving. If Tucson is as quiet inside as you say, may open up opportunities.
That reminds me, some manufacturers (Ford) have a speaker in the boot floor, is this the same with the Tucson? I ask because the partner dog will be in the boot, so if I do have the sound on, obviously the volume may be an issue for her. Ford dealer just told me to remove the speaker but it’d likely not be covered by warranty so I decided not to go that way.
My question of speed/engine was more of auto gearbox being hesitant at times as I’ve seen it said. I’m 44 now, not looking for a flashy speedster, just a car that can get up to speed quick enough and not take 10 secs to reach 60. The official 0-60 speeds listed wildly downplay actual speeds so that’s good.
The Kia Sportage GT-Line S PHEV? Can I run that car without an access point for charging it? Not sure if the costs for public charging AND petrol would make that feasible. Good car though at a good price.
Thanks for the video.
Suzuki is a no as I followed up your suggestion a while back about the Swace estate and didn’t like the interiors. Cheers for suggestion though.
