I find it's one of the nicest small SUVs available right now. Either that or the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which I believe is more expensive. You should do a search, this sort of topic has been discussed before. Below is one of the many threads.

Best Diesel SUV from the firm

DW · Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:33 am Post subject:

I have been using the diesel model as my daily driver for nearly a year now.

No complaints ( other than having to go to the firm so often for service to maintain the warranty ).

It does not have all the "luxuries" of other models, but for a small - diesel SUV, it does well enough.

Now only if I could find someone selling accessories for it at an "acceptable price" Mr. Green

Hi all.

I haven't gotten mine yet but it reached in the country. Bought at Neal n Massey, South.
I had to preorder mine becos none was in stock. When looking at the computer bookings I saw many people already booked theirs so a lot of the vehicles coming in the ship already have people waiting on them.

I should be getting mine in 2weeks.

I was shown accessories today and the price for some things I find so expensive. Am no expert so am not sure if am overreacting

Am trying to recall prices. I was told tint is $350, alarm is $1300.
I like the thing at the front and back tht have the name TUCSON on it. Is that the grill? Forgive me if I don't know names. The front one was $4100 and the back $3500. The silver side rail step up things were $3500.
I was also shown the silver door handles and silver part for over lights and even for wipers. And something for when reversing. All this is thousands of $$$

He told me name of place tht they get it done at but I forgot.

I want to know if there are other places that I can get such accessories for cheaper or thts good prices?

Btw I am in South.
Thanks all...

Oh ok. Thanks. I didn't know tht the warranty could be void by adding my own stuff. I would ask.

I wonder if doing my own tint and alarm would void warranty :-/

Rear bumper 3,300
Front bumper 3,500
Door handles 575
Tail Lights Pkg 1,200 (Incl reverse warning sensor)
Rear Wiper Pkg 800
Alarm 1,325
Tint 275
TOTAL 14,475

Their supplier is AutoAir on Cipiero St
Okay...... cough it up now who has better prices............
Oh and where can i get chrome guard that cover the front including lights etc ?

Gem_in_i · Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 2:39 pm Post subject:

Right I think it was AutoAir.
But those prices you quoted there are vat exclusive, at least I think so.
Becos when I asked abt the front and rear parts he quoted prices you said there but said vat to be added.

Oh gosh I asked tht and then saw the address was mentioned above.

But thanks. I would give them a check maybe next week to compare prices.

I see tht NnM sends their vehicles for polishing etc to Chippy's.

Don't know if they also use tht other place but they told me tht its Chippys my vehicle would be going.

When the vehicles coming down from Morvant they drive it down? Been yrs since I saw they transport new vehicles in those huge trucks.

but ent Kazim Ali have them thing also or he just installs it? which one?

I saw one on Frederick St. and boy it look real good. Its the single muffler version so I'm guessing it was the 2.0 DOHC 16V petrol engine. It had sunroof, spoiler, leather seats, side steps (chrome), chrome tail lights and the front semi-bush bar and the rear lower bumper bar with reflector lights mark "TUCSON". The door mirrors and handles were all chromed as well as the rear wiper and it was the 4WD version. That model is around $230k I believe. Not bad, oh the sunroof GLS models have side and head protection airbags, a more powerful audio system with in-dash 6 CD changer and auto climate control. No wonder they flooding the market. Unlike the SGV, this has rear disc brakes!

I saw one where everything on the outside they could chrome was chromed. Down to the hinges on the rear window and the rear wiper.
