The Best Car I’ve Ever Had YET Almost Didn’t Buy...
When I needed a new car, I had a short list that did NOT include Hyundai. I was sure I’d end up with a Toyota, Mazda, or Subaru. I test drove quite a few models of each. When I walked away from each test drive, I was underwhelmed, not impressed, and generally had the reaction of, “meh…”.
My sweet 84-year-old dad heard all about the test drives, the lackluster reviews, and the general thread of disappointment. He took off to “kick some tires” on his own.
As I finished a disappointing day of test drives that felt too cramped in the drivers seat, had road noise that was too loud, and came with price tags that WAY exceeded the value of the vehicle, my dad called me to let me know I needed to head to our local Hyundai dealer where he had met a nice sales guy.
I am pretty sure I sighed internally and possibly rolled my eyes. I definitely tried to get out of it. I was tired and disappointed.
Dad convinced me it couldn’t hurt to look.
Well, thank goodness for sweet dads who take the time to stop by and kick tires.
I had absolutely no idea that Hyundai had such great vehicles, amazing warranties, and all the bells and whistles I thought would be outside of what I wanted to afford. My 2025 Tucson is my favorite. Heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, safety features that rival all other manufacturers, the ridiculously cool sun roof, the sound system, the cameras, lane assist, the features go on and on.
What I think I love the most though is how surprised everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, who rides with me seems to be.
What year model is this?
You said it’s a Hyundai?
Even the back seats have seat heaters?!?
How expensive was this fancy car with all this cool technology?
Your drivetrain warranty lasts how long?
And on and on.
I am a delightfully surprised Hyundai owner and one of the best sales people you've never had to hire.
I genuinely LOVE my Tucson and plan to be a Hyundai driver for life.
