Hello Hyundai forums!

I owned a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT hatch, 2.0L, 5 speed manual, leather, sunroof, Canadian model from 2009 to 2012. I was very happy with it, and only sold it because I was moving away. Its 1800 lb towing capacity with brakes was very useful, the seats fit my thin body much better than most American market vehicles, including my made-in-USA Honda Accord and Pontiac Vibe. My favourite feature was the rear hatch, and while I would prefer a true wagon, I believe the Elantra was a better choice than the Focus wagons I was considering due to reliability and comfort.

Now in 2016 I purchased a 2006 Tucson at auction. 5 speed, 4WD, same 2.0L engine as my old Elantra but with variable valve timing. It's not as comfortable, fuel efficient or quiet as my Elantra, but living further north I appreciate the ground clearance.

I'm joining this forum for technical discussion, since I like to work on vehicles myself. I'm even more likely to work on them while living here because of the shortage of qualified mechanics in this northern Canadian town.
