Kelpie drives a COROLLA? Wasn't he the one that used to make fun of my
Astra (which is still up for sale by the way)?

No. I made fun of the driver who gets confused and drives in bus lanes :)

I've not taken either for a drive yet, but from looks and specs and size,
I'd prefer the 2010 Santa Fe over the Tiguan, but I'm only interested in the
2010 Santa Fes with the new engine. As there are a few 08 Tiguans starting
to hit the car yards now, I'd say that will be the one.

I have friends with a Santa Fe and they have travelled all over Australia in
it towing a medium sized Caravan without a hitch, they loved it so much they
have just bought a new one to replace hubby's work Ute (now that he is
retired)
The Hyundai re-sale value is working in your favour if you consider someone
else has already taken the depreciation hit for you ;-)
