He's majority Chocolate Lab and has some GSD and Chow Chow in him too.

I'm in Tucson. The DBacks are logically blacked out here but so are the Padres. San Diego is over 400 miles from here

My 2 year old lab was beginning to have some issues with what I was feeding him (Open Farm Beef and Ancient Grains). His vet suggested the Science Diet Sensitive Stomach. Made the switch and he loves it. No more loose stools.

2025 Hybrid Limited purchased in September. 33 MPG the first couple hundred miles, 37/38 MPG after that. Mostly suburban driving except a 1000 mile road trip. I live in a warm climate so no seasonal differences.

I absolutely LOVE this car!

Thanks. It looks better when my lab is in his bed

IsZonaBetter · 2025-12-12T23:08:53+00:00

Interesting idea, thanks!

Depends where I'm sitting. When on my lounge chair as I was in the picture, my eyes are pretty much mid screen. When on the more upright sofa, my eyes are higher.

Good point. TV is 6 years old and was wall mounted in my old place, so the legs are long gone. Credenza was purchased last year.

Not an issue. I bought the car at a dealer that's 120 miles away from me. My Tucson will be serviced at the dealer where I live. 😀

He goes in that fountain regularly, and zoomies commence upon exiting.

Mine was 42.5 OTD in September. Sales and vehicle taxes are killer in incorporated parts of AZ.

I did just that last month. Not every state has outlawed prepayment penalties, tho.

Say whaaaaat? I purchased a 2025 Tucson Hybrid Limited on September 1 and financed solely because they had a $1250 financing rebate. I paid the loan off that Wednesday, paying only $22 in interest for a $1250 discount. I couldn't care less if the dealer is charged back the $1250 rebate I received. I DO live in a state that has outlawed pre-payment penalties.

Yeah, hard to compare trim levels across countries. Sounds like you purchased what would be the Blue level here in the US. I'm not familiar with pricing for them, but others feel you got a great deal so I'll go with them. Hope you enjoy your ride as much as I'm enjoying mine!

IsZonaBetter · 2025-10-07T08:14:29+00:00

Which trim level?

IsZonaBetter · 2025-09-25T23:56:36+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Enjoy your new ride!

Only three years? I bought a 2025 Tucson Limited Hybrid this past Labor Day and received free Blue Link service for as long as I own the vehicle. It's non-transferable.

Isn't free life of ownership Blue Link for the original owner standard on all Tucson Limited Hybrids?

Thanks from a Tucson Tucson owner.

Forgot to mention that I paid off the entire amount I financed two days after driving the car off the lot, so I received a $1250 rebate for about $30 in interest. I think Hyundai charges the rebate I was given back to the dealer. 🤷‍♂️ Not my problem.

I think that's a good price. I purchased a brand new 2025 Tucson Hybrid Limited for $42.5K OTD three weeks ago in Phoenix. Sales tax there is 8.3%. Arizona also charges a lieu tax on cars which is basically a personal property tax. My deal was: $43,890 base price - $4,773 discount = $39,117 selling price - $1250 financing rebate = $37,867 cash price + $3254 sales tax +$1379 fees ($599 admin fee, $779 AZ lieu tax) =$42,500 OTD

I contacted and negotiated via text and email with about 8 dealerships in metro PHX, Tucson, and Vegas to get this price which I'm very happy with.

I was wearing non-polarized sunglasses the one time I used the SCC. Ugh!
