T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[speedwerk]

fellers, I have to decided between a 2012 Tucson and a 2013 Vitara both cost $229k but the Vitara has a few more fetures and its had a better resale history I believe. Going tomorrow to buy one just not sure which, so please post reviews thanks.

[dogichi]

I would say go with the Vitara. I have heard lots of stories on the new Tuscons. I am not a fan of Suzuki, but on that comparison the Vitara wins easily

I will have to agree with dogichi...hearing too much horror stories wit dem tucsons (not like the SGV is mutually exclusive) but given the choices. Co worker of mine has a current gen SGV PBX, a 2005 model which he paid off since 2010. Time flies so quickly since this vehicle is in its 8th year of production going on to 9! Dated design but selling ok locally. Note that Suzuki declared bankrupt in North America and as such they pulled out of the market. Suzuki got less and less interest in the US and Canadian markets and that says a lot for me.

SGV attracts carjackers. A friend of mine pregnant wife got hers stolen by was recovered with GPS, and recently there was that carjacking in Lange Park with the baby still inside.

They both suffer the same level of target for car jacking. The sportage, the Tucson and the grand vitara. To me, I wonder if the popularity of these models will lead to some of those safety issues?

misleading post. Check the date of publication and sadly North America still said goodbye to Suzuki. Nice try.

I know it's From December but there was a scramble import a few batches on hearing of the bankruptcy. Still they have left and suzuki just didn't make it in the USA.

[JStaples]

Where selling the ford ranger and those prices??

[JStaples]

Sorry "at" those prices

[dogichi]

Speedwerk, if you could spend a little more, you could get a better SUV. The Suzuki Vitara has its own issues, more with bandits it seems. Keep checking around

[drchaos]

After 5 years my uncle's SGV is rusting on the doors just behind the sealing rubber.

[speedwerk]

Bpoght the SGV yesterday should get it by next Friday. For the price and features it was the better deal, Test drive the tucson twice and two different ones and got the same noise with the brakes. The rep said it has to be adjusted before they deliver it to the buyer. BS! As for being car jacked that can happen with any car thats why there is insurance. The SGV is for the wife not me

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I like the look of the SGV. Simple lines age better than swoopy ones.

[dogichi]

Congrats speedwerk

same thing i was wondering...yes any car can be jacked but some tend to be jacked a whole lot more than some others...and you assuming that they will take your car and tell you bye bye...some will kill you with one shot to your chest then take the car.

Hi, I am looking to purchase the new Rio Hatch or possibly the Kia Soul, do any of you know from experience/friends etc. if there are any known issues with them or anything I should be wary of please? The SX4 Hatch is also an option, I would appreciate your views.

[DJ Q]

The Rio Hatch is (IMHO) the BEST car in it's class locally!

[Ted_v2]

Rode in a Rio already. Suspension was pretty rugged on harsh terrain, i really liked that. The acceleration was excellent, left quite a few tire marks. Overall is a pretty nice car, ideal for a small family

[gastly369]

^^ also optima has a pretty stiff suspension(sport package) also for size for vehicle it corners nice

only problem for me (not rest of family who drives it) .. my hair on my head touches the roof ever so slightly when i set the driver seat to drive then again i eh standard height n all and prob need hair cut ..rocking cave man style right now

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I doh biz bout what some say. D new Octavia styling not bad at all. I wish they would bring this version here:

[dogichi]

Don't hold your breath for this one allergic

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I won't but even a lower spec trim new Octavia will look nice and even compete with Jetta, A4, A class and 1 series.

[aidan]

that octavia rs is sey

[Morpheus]

That Skoda looking hott

[scotty_buttons]

Octavia resembles the Jetta too much IMO

[christopherwilliams2]

I know the 3 series starts at 435k....anyone?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]
