tucson: iv been driving an 06 tuscon for the past 4 years but totalled it this past weekend. how much different is the 2010 model?|||We just traded our 2006 Tuscon in for the new 2010 Tucson about three weeks ago now. Here is what I can tell you so far. 1. The new Tucson is much better on gas in the city, about the same on the highway driving. 2. The seats (unless you go with all leather seats) are ugly in the new Tucson. The fabric ones are the cheap hard canvass type fabric and the leatherette seats (which we opted for ) are butt ugly (pardon the pun). The seats were much better in the 2006 model. 3. The radio now comes with a jack to plug in a iPod or a USB music player (nice feature). Also, the new Tucson now comes with Bluetooth standard. 4. The brakes on the 2010 Tucson are very, very sensitive I find. You hardly have to touch the pedal to get good braking. 5. The power is better in the 2010 Tucson (more power off the line I find) 6. The 2006 Tuscon had better full fold down seats in the rear, the new rear seats in the 2010 model don't fold all the way down unfortunately. 7. The 2010 Tucson is roomier and not as cramped as the 2006 even though it is about 80 pounds lighter. All in all, we are enjoying the 2010 Tucson. Excellent value for the money you pay for a small SUV, none can match that.|||There are no working parts shared between the two.
