The seats fold down. There’s enough space out back for a large rear-facing car-seat. Both driver and passenger have decent head and leg room, and the seats are comfortable. The only real criticism here is that the redesigned 2016 Tucson is on the way, and it’s got a number of improvements to brighten up the interior. The FCEV’s insides tend a bit towards the spartan, although there’s proper connectivity and a simply excellent navigation system. Performance: A fuel cell is a sort of tiramisu of power extraction. Hydrogen gas enters the cell, here about the size of a normal four-cylinder engine, and passes through a number of membranous layers. It reacts with oxygen in the air to form water as a by-product, and the electrons shed in the process are captured and used to power an electric motor to propel the car. It’s a nearly noiseless process, making the Tucson FCEV ghost off the line without a squeak. Like many electric cars, horsepower figures are quite modest – the FCEV has just 134hp to shove around 1900 kilograms of crossover – but the off the line torque is excellent at 211lb-ft. As a result, the Tucson FCEV makes for an ideal urban runabout. The run to 40km is quite zippy, it’s got enough space to carry kids and cargo without being too big to squeeze into a narrow parking space, and the tall ride height lets the driver judge traffic flow more easily. Perhaps this is the reason the FCEV doesn’t have any cruise control. It’s capable of easy highway travel, but with a claimed range of 426kms and a single refuelling point, it’s not a roadtrip machine.

Simply attach the connector at the pump, key in your PIN, and with a huff and a psst of escaping gas, the tank is recharged.

Many parents contribute money toward the purchase of their teenagers’ first car. But even those who don’t help kids finance the pur-chase of their first vehicle may still want to offer some advice as their teens start to look for the car they will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives.
Different drivers need different things out of their vehicles, so a car that might be perfect for adults will not necessarily be the best fit for teen drivers without much experi-ence traversing the nation’s roadways. The following are a few factors to consider when helping teens find their first car.
SizeTeenagers have little to no experience
behind the wheel, so it’s best that they not drive cars that are especially small or large right away. According to the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration, young drivers between the ages of 16 and 17 are significantly overrepresented in fatal crashes. The NHTSA suggests such drivers’ immaturity and inexperience plays a significant role in that overrepresentation. So parents likely do not want their children in the smallest car possible, as such vehicles may not protect teens as adequately as slightly larger vehicles in the case of an accident. In addition, very large cars, such as pickup trucks or SUVs, can be difficult to control and are best suited to older drivers who already have years of driv-ing experience under their belts. A mid-size sedan is big enough to protect teens and their passengers in the case of an accident, and such vehicles are small enough to handle easily.
PaSSenger caPacityAnother factor to consider when shopping
for cars for teenagers is passenger capacity. The more seats there are in a car, the more friends teens can pack into their vehicles. Nu-merous teenagers in a car at once can prove distracting to the driver, and that distraction can pave the way for an auto accident. Steer clear of minivans, SUVs or other vehicles that feature a third row of seats, as teens may be unable to stay focused on the road with so many passengers in tow.
Under the hoodFew teens would not light up at the sight
of a muscle car awaiting them in the drive-way. But cars that accelerate quickly and those with substantial horsepower and high-performance engines may tempt teens to speed or spark the development of poor driving habits. Look for a vehicle with modest acceleration instead of an imported sports car that teens may be too immature and inexperienced to handle.
Wear and tearTeens’ first cars are often preowned vehi-
cles, and such cars may have significant wear and tear on some important safety features. Wear and tear may not be a reason to avoid purchasing a preowned vehicle, but parents may want to replace the brake pads and tires on recently purchased preowned vehicles. Brake pads in strong condition may prove the
difference between avoiding an accident or getting into one. In addition, poorly inflated or worn down tires pose a safety risk to teens and their passengers. If such features seem to be worn down, replace them before letting teens hit the open road on their own.
Teens will remember their first cars for the rest of their lives. Parents can ensure those memories are positive by finding a car that teens can handle comfortably and operate safely.
