Today, my mother and I went to a Subaru dealership and than a Hyundai one. At the Subaru dealership we only talked negotiated a lease for a Crosstrek. The salesman realized he couldn’t get my mom’s lease in early so we parted ways and said to come back in a few months. At the Hyundai dealer, the salesman (a very pushy one) immediately got us into a test drive in a silver Tucson.

It drove well, steering wasn’t too weird for a Hyundai and had a good amount of power. It also had so many stupid gadgets and gizmos that I (and thankfully my mother) didn’t care about. Didn’t really feel like it has a turbocharger, which could be a good thing. Overall it’s probably a good car for most people. If she decides to get one, it probably won’t be from that dealer as the salesman really wanted to get us to sign a deal today and didn’t “get” that we didn’t want to sign today. The biggest kicker is that the price for the Limited Trim (without the Ultimate Package) is $32k! A Subaru Crosstrek Limited is 7k less, even though the Subaru is smaller. These “Ultimate,” “Platinum,” or whatever they name the ultra top-trim levels are pretty stupid in my opinion, I guess that’s how they reap in the profits.

Legacy sti for your time

A Subaru can be any colour as long as it’s Blue.

The Hyundai salesmen around here are pretty slimy and pushy too. We went test driving for all the compact cars and did Hyundai first.

The salesman told my friend that the 1.8L engine in the Elantra pumps out 190 hp and 180 lb/ft, then said Hyundai is better than all the other competitors because it has airbags and traction control. No, really.

Still not the worst salesman that day...
