I am considering both the 2005 CRV lx 4WD and the 2005 Hyundai Tucson 4WD
V6. For 900.00 dollars less than the CRV the Hyundai has a V6, heater
wipers, mirrors, fog lights and a roof rack. Does anyone have experience
with Hyundai in terms of reliability, quality or owner satisfaction? I have
had an accord and civic and strongly considering the CRV, because I like
Hondas. I live in the North East where it is cold and snowy, so both will
come in handy. Should I give Hyundai a chance?

Thanks,
Tom.

hyundais have improved... a lot. that said, the tucson is brand new. any
bugs in the design wont show up for a while. longer warranty, and more
features, but is the quality there? who knows.

this is a Honda group....what do you think you would hear about the Hyundai?
Tom - 05 Feb 2005 18:33 GMT
Well actually believe it or not, people sometimes have more than one brand
of car in their household and someone might be familiar with both Honda and
Hyundai and post in the Honda NG. I have had Honda, Nissan, Pontiac, VW,
ford, Mazda, and had family with Toyota, so I have been accustomed to more
than Honda.

I'm looking for a reliable small SUV such as the CRV and haven't heard
anything bad about it yet.

How long did it take you to become bitter and sarcastic? Is your life so
miserable that you answer a simple question with sarcasm?

Listen John,

I'm not here to argue, I just wanted some basic facts and opinions on
Hyundai from those that owned them. I have a successful career and I am not
bitter and miserable. I am not sarcastic, just wanted to state the facts. I
already have an idea I am buying the 2005 CRV this spring, but I just wanted
some input from others.

I think John was talking to dragon who posted a snide remark.

I would recommend the Honda unless you feel like a gamble.  The
Hyundai will lose value more quickly but that won't matter if you keep
it a long time.  The problem is that, if you keep it a long time, you
may find it isn't very reliable/durable.  Then again, it may be fine.
Like I said, a gamble.

The CR-V will have that same Honda 'fit' that you're accustomed to and
the AWD is great. A reliable, efficient honda engine is way better than
 a bigger engine from anybody. Another point to keep in mind . . The
resale value for the CR-V will be retained WAY better than the Tucson.
The ACTUAL cost of ownership on the Honda products is lower, according
to the brochures they hand out every month at the honda dealers.
