I would be in the same boat mileage wise. The Tucson is $17k (purchase price) with everything I want. It's very hard to pass up.

Passat lease is almost up.
- Thread starter wemay
- Start date
My dealer said he could get me to $325/mo on a 39mo lease for a base Tiguan with AWD and no money down.
But I'd be at almost 100k at lease end.
We just got a 17 Tuscon with 10k miles for $14,500. Took it on a road trip, 31.5 mpg highway.
Wife is happy with it. Ours is 2.0L GDI, 6 speed auto. Just had a full service at the hyundai dealer (OC, rotate tires, inspection) was $55.
I'm guessing the service on the Passat is nearing $100.
I think of the Hyundai as a disposable car that I will dump when it hits 100k, but it runs good and we like it.

No manufacturer is perfect, go for the SEL if you go Tuscon.

I completely agree. No manufacturer is without its issues.
The Value Edition with the Nu 2.0 non-turbo is my sweet spot. I know "slow". But acceleration beyond adequate is not on my top 5 list items a vehicle needs have to purchase.

I'd be leery of any Hyundai with a 4 cylinder, they have simply had too many problems with them and we keep hearing it's fixed after whatever year but it's not. Hyundai has replaced so many engines on their dime I wonder about their profitability if this keeps up.
They do take care of it though.

I have never seen anywhere that "the population at large have had great reliability with them" regarding the VW brand. Excellent reliability at a price comes with the Toyota RAV4, but for value almost nothing will beat your offer on a new Tucson. As a compromise, have you considered going back to the Kia Sportage?

I actually had one. The deals aren't the same right now but that's a sharp looking car in my book too.
$17k for a brand new crossover that has everything you want? Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure why you aren't at the dealer right now.
A 3 year lease will probably be $10k out of pocket for all the payments and fees with nothing to show at the end of the lease.
Two pages and no "Hyundai Hate"....remarkable. My wife's 2017 Santa Fe XL Limited (AWD) was a good $5,000.00 less than anything else in the segment-with the additional power train warranty we have yet have to use. I had one issue a year in to ownership-the power liftgate failed. The motor went bad and they had it fixed the same day under the bumper to bumper coverage.
My wife loves the car. My slush/clunk - a- matic (6 speed) Silverado is a whole other issue......

The 3.3 in my Santa Fe is engineered for 150,000 miles. Of course it could go longer.-or not.
Same here, also - LOL!
I can empathize. My 335d, which was partly financed, was simply perfect and then with a month left of warranty the Urea system started acting up. I bought an under priced extended warranty and spent the next 6-9 months in return trips. The job out of warranty would've cost me $$ and BMW hadn't yet extended the warranty on the system.

Got the Tucson.
We have a couple at work, they drive super. Congratulations.
Congratulations, wemay. $17K for that vehicle seems like an excellent deal. Did any factory incentives or loyalty bucks bring the price down like that?
