Very comfortable car to drive, easy to get in and out of, feels safer sitting higher up, nice design. Feels good now but we'll see how it is in the winter.

It’s our second Tucson — a diesel manual and a petrol automatic. I can only confirm that our next one in 2027 will be 99.9% a Tucson again. Gorgeous, pleasant, economical and sporty. Top choice.

Toyota Hilux

The Toyota Hilux is a no-nonsense pick-up that blends worksite toughness with proper off-road ability, built to shrug off punishment and keep going long after fancier rivals give up. It won’t win any beauty contests, but buyers who want a practical, rugged truck that simply gets the job done will appreciate its honest, hard-working character.

It's the best thing there is since you can carry five people and you can push it into jobs that nothing or no one else can handle. By contrast a lambo is only for two people and only for joyrides — your family can't even come — it's garbage because it's useless for daily use or simple work, so toyota is better; on top of that it's cheap and effective. The lambo is insanely expensive and doesn't provide good service; it's trash — what does it have inside to make it so expensive, gold or diamonds or an engine made of banknotes? I stress that it's useless rubbish.
