I'm still thinking about a note what are they like on long journeys?

We find our 1.6 auto ok it will cruise ok at the speed limit and still return good mpg.

Enough room for 4 adults and some luggage.

Easily get 4 bikes in the rear with seats down (although rear seats don't go flat) .

I find it comfortable enough.

Well 3 days of Tucson use have passed and so far I have enjoyed it but would have been more enjoyable if I knew what was going on sometimes and if I knew what some of the beeps and graphics meant.

I am starting to get the feel that I have partially got the cruise control operation sorted but not 100%.

There's a green steering wheel with a green line either side that's on a lot of the time along with a slight stiffening of the steering wheel at times when the green steering wheel flashes ?

The central arm rest has 5 buttons that I am not sure what they all do?

Why didn't the hire company keep the manual in the car

Right I dropped swmbo off at blood clinic and parked up in car park awaiting her .

When swmbo came out I couldn't get the Tucson into either drive or reverse it would only select park or neutral and we lost the radio.

After several getting out of car and locking it and then leaving it 30 seconds before reopening and trying again still the same.

Then after a couple of attempts it allowed me to select drive so off we went minus radio which we couldn't re activate and the sat nav was trying to direct me to an unknown address in mk .....

Very odd
