Yes, at the time it was the only new, diesel based vehicle, with reasonable safety that was not a "pick up" and within the price range I was looking at..and that was the only reason, what I wanted was a different story.  |

Why don't you just get it serviced on a Saturday?
I trust the San F'do branch less than the POS branch. So I drop my wife's car off at POS on a Saturday when it needs to be serviced. |
Sometimes they tell you, depending on which service it is, it wont finish on a Saturday; so if its one of the B or C type services they say it takes the day, so you wont get it back on Saturday if you drop it off in the morning.
Generally the A type service I get done on a Saturday and all others during the week..carrying in for the 50K this week, so I take a day off from work to do other work |

I was only kidding, try Automotive Components (ACL) in Arima for service, they are a division of N&M. It's certainly an alternative to Morvant or other direct N&M service centres. Hassle free just ask for Sean, Tony or Risham. Sean is a gr8 mechanic, personable and an all round good fella. Did all my cars there with no issues, and unlike other places - L&DG or MServ, they will accommodate you on a Saturday till 12p (once u go early enough). |

Norstar2k, are there any places in South like ACL tht I could go to besides NnM south and still keep my warrant intact?
BTW, this is off topic, but I does be scared driving on the Highway at times no telling wht can happen. I could be innocently going to or from class and have some vehicle flying off lane etc and hitting me. |

Master Serv, Cor. Scott St. & Cipero St. Saturday service by app though. Check with your Hyundai rep first.
To your second point, that's the reality of driving on T&T roads. The more time spent, the greater the odds. Night time is even more hazardous.
* Consider classes closer to home.
* Take a defensive driving course which can help build situational awareness, confidence, etc.
* Drive alert, and keep on the left lane. Most median jumps impact the car on the right lane following a crossover.
* Just be careful
Interestingly, when I'm going south for example, I have either my wife or son riding shotgun and they scan the opposite lanes for erratic driving or anything out of the ordinary, and I scan the lanes ahead, the cars alongside and behind me. Hard work to drive these days. |

Thanks for the tips norstar. I really appreciate it
I do 3 out of your 4 tips. Concerning the classes I have to go uwi STA. If uwi South offered those classes would have surely taken it in South.
As you said its hard work driving on our roads these days. |

Gem and DW, no discounts 
Well we shld be able to book an order in about 2-3weeks for the tuscon...i hope that we dont get the frustrations that you got esp since we are going through the company...who knows, maybe we might get better service (i hope)..
Anyway the 'free' roadside assistance doesn't sound like much esp since that comes with the insurance and if my vehicle were to need assistance in the first year, i'd be very worried...  |

The price quote we got was not bad..but do they offer any discounts? |
The dark colors need some sort of paint guard........ can't recall exactly what they called it....... but it cost extra.
I will post the mileage on the gas when I work it out.... I am about 3,500 thus far...... I agree the mats are crappy..... I will be changing mine this week. |

Hottgirl, so you decided on the Tucson then?
The front mats are ok but the back mats are like small rectangles tht doesn't cover much.
I also got roadside assistance with my Insurance and last year TSTT called me up and said I had won a 'free' fone and 'free' roadside assistance to.
Wonder why everyone giving away 'free' roadside assistance. |

Laughlin is behind Toyota if your in South..on the EMR close to Eric Williams Medical Complex and the name of the street in POS escapes me now, but its a down street, upper most, close to the savannah
Well I did the 50K , told them about a noise I was hearing, sounded like a belt. Apparently its a leak by the exhaust manifold, and its just over the 40K warranty that covers me ...so I have to carry it tomorrow to "repair". Its the same place that the firm uses, so I get to keep the warranty. They said in all the Tucsons, this is the first they saw with that issue..
Everyone else doing ok with theirs, anyone got the running boards, nudge bars, changed deck etc ?? |

I didn't buy the side steps again. Got other use for the $$$
Now tht I am driving on the Highway almost everyday I am racking up a lot of kms.
Am also noticing a lot of Tucson on the highway. In South where I usually drive around I don't really see them but its like they all on the Highway, North and Southbound.
Tuesday early morning a Police PCJ Tucson passed me on the highway, Northbound, and if you see how much tht vehicle was smoking. A lot of Black smoke. |

Oh! I know where the Laughlin is in South. Didn't realise wht it was. I just knew a business was located there.
The road kinda bad at the entrance.
When I get some time I would check them out.
Is it a store tht I can browse around? Or its like those parts place in Cipero St where you go and have to tell them wht you want?
I like to browse. |

Yes, you can "browse" around at Laughlin, lots of interesting stuff..more so when they have a "sale"
Yeah, every morning and evening on that highway the amount I see, there was a gray, diesel HC something one I used to see on mornings.
A few ppl are buying the foreign used version and decking it out with all the extra accs. Quite a few put on the front and rear nudge bars.
I am still thinking of the running boards, I might not get the nudge bar as my front / rear bumper is not the painted one, so its already "kinda" a nudge bar  |
