Drive a Hyundai

I like to drive practical cars or SUVs. I may have my dream car but my preference for an economical and easy to maintain vehicles still prevail.

I have been driving my Hyundai Tucson for 4 years now. I am satisfied with its performance. In those 4 years, I have not encountered any machine issues. It is well maintained and I make sure that I have all the components and mechanism checked. I do recommend Hyundai. If you want to test drive it, you can visit Hyundai Utah if you are in the vicinity or visit any auto dealers nearest you and feel the comfort of a compact suburban vehicle without burning a big hole in your pocket.

Driving an economical SUV like the compact Hyundai Tucson has its many positive points. It is an inexpensive vehicle that is great for city driving. Out Hyundai Tucson has 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with automatic transmission. The gas usage is very economical as we can use the full tank for almost 2 weeks if our regular drive is within the city limits. It does pack much on power like other contemporary vehicles but this is why it is so gas-efficient.

The features of other contemporary vehicles is also present in Hyundai. It has MP3/CD player, airbags for safety, sport handle bars on top, sunroof (optional), manual/automatic transmission, alloy wheels with or without mag wheels and a spacious cabin.

It can seat 5-6 people and has ample space for storage at the back. The seat at the bag can be folded as well to accommodate bulkier items.

The exterior is also something you cannot be embarrassed of even if the price is not at par with other contemporary vehicles. It has a sleek but not bulky design. You can get it painted glossy or pearlized and have other trims if necessary and it will still look beautiful without trying so hard.

Drive one now and find out why having a Hyundai is a good decision when practicality outweighs other trivial factors.

Tinted Windows and More

Summer has officially arrived here in Dubai. It did make a grand entrance by making us feel the dry and scorching heat of Dubai's summer sun. Our bodies are like being baked in the oven. Running from the air-conditioned premise of our home and the office to our car parked outside is such a feat! Imagine those poor vehicles left under the very hot sun's rays for long. If they can only talk, I am sure they are already cursing us.

My husband is planning to have our car's window tinted and he will check for other car accessories to help diffuse the extreme heat. I don't know why we never had it tinted in the first place when we took the car from the dealer. They were already offering discounted rates and branded tints but we begged off. My husband just don't like how the people here apply the tints on the windows. They put the tints "outside" the window and not from the inner part. So, in due time, the tint wears and tears and make it virtually impossible to see from the inside. It is very hazardous.

I am thankful though that our vehicle is well maintained. At least I am not so worried about the air-condition unit breaking down or prematurely lose its freon. My husband and I just feel that we have to do this soon or we will end up toasted from the sun's unforgiving heat.

Deals on Car Insurance

Our company provides us with great deals on car insurance. So, my husband and I decided to change our car insurance recently when we had renewed its registration.

The new car insurance deal for our company's staff is comprehensive and we are also covered when we go to Oman for a drive. We get 7-days free car replacement if our vehicle is in service and 24 hours road-side assistance. We also get discounted rates as long as we show our company ID upon purchasing the insurance.
