My 2005 Hyundai Tucson has begun jerking violently when first taking off. Some power loss too. Any ideas why?
The series of jerks started suddenly, and doesn't seem to get any worse or better. After you accelerate lightly during the take off, the problem is still there, just not as bad. When I reach about 30mph. the problem stops, but power loss is evident. After accelerating up to, and setting the cruise on about 70mph, everything is fine. It is only...

Is a Jeep Rubicon less streetable than a Sahara?
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Rubicon, but I hear that the higher gear ratio, taller tires, 4" stock lift, and non-gas shocks of the Rubicon will compromise steetability. Is that true? My (stock) Sahara w/ a Dana 44 is having difficulty in the rough mountains south of Tucson. Do the 4.0 liter (pre-2007) Rubicons have the auto-disconnecting sway...

By streetability I'm guessing you mean ride comfort since you asked about the shocks. The Rubicon is a great vehicle for what it is. The ride quality is a good compromise for "streetability" and off-road use. The gas shocks are good, but if that's the concern you could always change them. The...

Good Volvo 740 repair shop in Tucson?
I need a good place to maintain/repair my 1988 Volvo 740 Turbo in Tucson, AZ. This car is staying alive through what miracle I don't know. I would like to continue to get it serviced through a reliable Volvo service place (NOT dealership). Any suggestions? If anyone is aware of a specific shop that you have used that would be what I need.

Why should I also consider these? X

Several years ago, the Tucson was one of the only models in its class to offer standard side airbags and electronic stability control, but over the past several years, other brands are offering them and they're no longer the differentiator.

The Tucson is beginning to look a little outdated in its design, and the new Honda CR-V stands out as an especially strong competitor, with top safety results, a refined powertrain, and a comfortable, roomy interior.

The Escape, though a dated design, has been recently refreshed.

If you're looking for a vehicle that feels sportier, the Subaru Forester is a good alternative--it sits a bit lower and handles more crisply--as is the Mitsubishi Outlander.

One advantage the Tucson holds over most of the competition is that its AWD system has a locking center differential, making it less likely to get stuck on muddy inclines or mixed-traction situations.

Finally, there's also the Kia Sportage, which is closely related to the Tucson but has slightly more distinctive, rugged styling.

Both the 2008 Hyundai Tucson and the Sportage offer an excellent warranty, with 10 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage.
