I had a brand new Venue 2022. I loved it. 2 months after buying, someone went to sleep driving & slammed into it while it was parked in front of the house. Totaled it. 😢
The only replacement for a Venue is another one, unless your needs change (more kids/large dog.) I had to replace a totalled '22. Got a '23 and feel whole again.
@@racineurr.8924 it's the lowest-priced vehicle in Hyundai's lineup. People generally don't start at the top. No arrogance intended. I've never paid more than $20k for a car.
Imo without awd it is not an "suv" but merely a lifted econo hatchback . it is a replacement for the hatch accent . this is an ok vehicle for what it is but it is not a suv
👍🏻👍🏻 Someone has to do it G. P. Down in the trenches that's where the respect is earned. If you never had to drive a Hyundai Venue, you could never really appreciate the ones the rest of of only dream of driving, let alone owning.
I'm in PA too. AWD isn't needed. Just throw on some Blizzaks and you will be good to go. Unless of course you live on a steep incline like in South Bethlehem or something
I got the 2023 Elantra and my wife had a 2018 Sonata fully loaded was involved in a hit run now we have a fully loaded Mazda cx9 grand touring for her .
Brand new 2024 I love it it keeps me in my Lanes like if I take my hands off the wheel I can actually feel the car steering me back and if I dont stay in my line what heaven!! remote start sun roof Im retired so I am comfy w the price for what it does. I had em all as far as cars go. Oh fyi I i have Sirius XM on my phone so I can bluetooth that too Jesus take the wheel🎉
It's a convenience. You never have to take your key out of your pocket or purse. Just walk up, push the unlock button on the handle, get in, and press start. It's not massively necessary, but nice. Also, Hyundais with a key start are having issues with theft.
@@palebeachbum Lord, how lazy people have become. As for the theft issue, I need to know more about that. Never heard Souls and Venues were thieve's favorites.
@@racineurr.8924 conveniences are rarely necessities. As I said, "it's not massively necessary, but nice to have." Hyundai and Kia vehicles with a key start ignition have had a huge theft problem because they're easier to steal. Google it if you want to know more.
Do the math, the Soul is heavier and has a larger engine to compensate. Real World mpg will be higher. The Soul makes more sense in a one car family. Two cars, two people, a compact SUV for utility, a Venue for driving fun and fuel economy.
