Tucson Article up!

Agh. I'm still getting used to working on this Eee PC, so my GIMP-work is a little shoddy... oh well... it's done, it's up, and I'm happy.

As I've said previously, it's not the best CUV out there, but it was a fun little thing, and I'm sad to see it go... especially since this means I'm stuck rowing my own gears again... in traffic... oh joy... but hope looms on the horizon... A test drive of the Santa Fe and Starex loom... as well as one for the CR-V... but then, I'd really like to sink my teeth into a car again. Something nice and zippy...

Hyundai Tucson

I'm currently finishing up an article on the Hyundai Tucson... I didn't expect it to be much of a test-drive... in fact, aside from the diesel engine, I couldn't think of a single reason for anyone to buy the Tucson... but man, does it handle sweetly...

Not many cars nowadays will talk to you about what's happening at the wheels, and not many will give you the adjustability that keen drivers look for in a motorcar... so it's very refreshing to find a compact SUV with a sharp turn-in... and even more refreshing to find one that you can actually trail-brake or throttle-lift into oversteer... quite an entertaining little beast... too bad the interior screams "Corolla" and the diesel in this car is the most gutless of Hyundai's CRDis... 13.8 seconds to 100 km/h... and only when it's cold out... this is a car screaming for a better transmission, an intercooler, and about thirty more horses.

Me? I'd love to have one... buy it? No thanks.

New Year, More Cars

It's been a slow Christmas, dental operation, sensor issues with my red rocket and the general blahness of the season... but now that the new year has started, I'm finally getting into the swing of things. I'll be posting an article on the Kia Carens this Monday, and I'll be doing test drives of the Kia Spectra and the Hyundai Tucson this month.

I'm also hoping to sink my teeth into a Chery QQ, as well as do some photography and a short review of the Alto.

Ahhh.. ain't life grand?
