          @kezo – Looks good, i’m really impressed with the quality interior and exterior, i love that the seat moves backwards when getting out and forwards when getting in. The pano roof is so much bigger than the Kuga, The car overall seems smaller than the Kuga, however its been no issue, to be honest its probably the right size for us.

          The drive I have found to be smooth and responsive, the acceleration is impressive, so is the handling overall, other than i’m getting used to the slight steering control.

          However main thing is.. no more changing gears!!!! its like luxury and I think I actually prefer the Tucson over the Sportage, i’ve had neighbours come over to ask to look inside the car and sit in it they all said how lovely it looks! They’re aware it’s a MB car for my son. Even the Royal Mail Postie commented on it and said she was looking at one also.

          Still loving the new car smell though! A Smell you just can’t buy (well unless your buying a new car)

          Mine didn’t come with car mats, you’d expect the basic mats on a £4k AP, however got some off amazon next day delivery for £20 which seem a good enough quality.

          My mum noticed the piano black on the exterior of the door looks all scratched however i’m aware it goes like this from being cleaned/ car wash, it was something I noticed on the Sportage in the show room was the swirl marks on the piano black bits. This can’t be prevented unless you give a strict no clean rule and as my vehicle was a stock vehicle inevitably when I collected it, it had been cleaned (with a few cobwebs on the wing mirrors still) but this is pretty minor and like I said to my mum its not exactly mine to keep pristine to ensure resale value, its for use, practicality and hardback so a few swirl marks isn’t enough for me to complain, not giving as the dealership got me a car so quick and were genuinely lovely.

          My partner likes colour coded, however he said the black bumpers/ sills/ arches make it look rugged due to its shape it suits it, which I agree, the grey also blends in lovely  particularly with the front bumper/splitter as there is a different grey and the silver adds to it!

          So overall i’m really pleased with the Tucson, less than a week in!

              @Coruro Yes the Kuga is a bit bigger but, looses out on interior quality. I’m surprised you didn’t get Hyundai mats with the car, as both @Glos-Guy and myself had them included albeit we went for the PHEV’s.

              Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Ultra-Cut Compound or similar will remove the swirl marks if you so wish however there’s alot less of the stuff on the new model.

              Glad your enjoying the car and all the latest tech from Hyundai/Kia.

                  Just for the record, our Polo GTI didn’t come with mats either.
