    There seems to be loads of unmarked Tucsons about. They're very discreet in fairness

    1.6 litre diesels. Not much difference in performance to the i40.

    They blend in very well though, but it won’t be long before everyone know them.

    I haven’t heard anything regarding Skodas.

    Every second suv on the road is a Tuscon. Grill/rear lights aren't massively noticable. Windscreen light is all but invisible when it's off.

    I they maybe the version that RPU have, they may have the turbo unit addition with 180hp.
    The 192 we have is a 1.6 litre with 115hp.

    Its always about the bottom line. Why buy 2 high spec when you can get 3 bog standard for the same money!

    Even inside is hard to notice. Light controls in the sunglasses holder and no visible Tetra.

    What’s the limit for mileage 300k? What’s the highest mileage yous have seen on one? I’d imagine traffic cars would get serious mileage

    The funny thing is the van is in no way built for that, to be honest for the work they a do it should really be a lot less.

    Will the tucson and Kona be classed as the 500k

    Van are made for working. They're robust. That's why they have the longer lifespan. They may respond to calls but are not driven as hard as a car.

    The pearse street transit (SWB) was thrown around quite a lot. The transit in finglas was also.
    Although I agree they more
    “Battlehardened” than the cars.
