  • Im going to miss you. - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Durable, reliable and fun. First car I ever had and I loved it. I put that thing down ATV trails and logging routes and it took it like a champ. Quick pick-up, quiet, and very sound-proof. Surprising room when seats folded down. It lacked superior gas milage, but averaging at about 20 mpg, it wasnt too bad. Also wasnt impressed when the back window fell off into my hands after the hinges somehow corroded. Rusting was a problem inside back door. I installed an after market sound system (dash stereo, all 4 speakers and a subwoofer). Stereo installation was a pain in the you know what, but the speakers and sub wired with incredible ease. Got me where I needed to go and had fun doing it.

  • Great SUV for the price & dog friendly! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    This is the third Hyundai weve owned and they just keep getting better and better. I liked the Santa Fe but thought it was a little too goofy so I was leaning towards a Toyota Highlander. For a much better price, we got a great SUV thats good looking and has a lot of zip to it. We bought the GLS with the body cladding instead of the LX because were in Texas and certainly didnt need the seat warmers and I preferred the stereo system that had the cassette player anyway, but I wanted leather, so our dealer used a local shop and gave us much better quality leather than Hyundai offers for much less than the LX package price. Great fold-down flat rear seats for the 3 dogs!

  • So easy to maneuver - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I owned an Acura previously but because this was so stylish and comfortable I bought it anyway, plus it has 6 air bags. It is extremely easy to handle, and extremely comfortable. It hugs the road very well. I also like the heated seats, 6 CD changers, great sound system. And again the design is a real attention grabber.

  • Excellent All-Purpose SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I absolutely love my new Hyundai Tucson. It drives beautifully, is comfortable, is good on gas, and is very stylish. My only disappointment is that it is sluggish on hills even though it has a 6-cylinder in it. It often has to shift down, just to maintain driving speed when going up inclines. Otherwise, I havent found a small SUV that fits my own personal needs as well.

    I just bought this not long ago and Im very impressed. Hyundai is right up there with the competition no doubt. Great quality with the best warrenty! What more could you want?....go get one...youll be happy..

  • Terrific Value and Fun - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    After a few years of a haitus from SUVs I decided to buy the Tuscon based on very little knowledge other than its good looks and a good test drive. In fact I bought two at the same time for my wife and daughter since the price was right. Im impressed with the fit and finish and sold build quality. No squeaks or rattles so far. One of them did have to have the TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor replaced) after 2,000 miles. Overall, Im very pleased and would recommend it.

    Fuel efficiency is great. The warranty is the best on the market. The exterior design is appealing.

  • Is it really an SUV? - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    First time I test drove it, I couldnt believe it was an SUV! It handled great! I had to watch my foot on the accelerator, too. Very responsive. And all the standard features. It seemed too good to be true.

  • Why hadnt I heard of this car??? - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We looked at Chevy Equinox & Trailblazer(used), Highlander, Vue, etc. Hyundai was our last stop. We were looking at the Sante Fes, but when I walked into the showroom and saw the Mesa Red Tucson with grey leather seats sitting there, I fell hard. Although the other cars were "nice", they didnt excite me. The Tuscon did. And once you threw in all the safety features and extras, along with the best warranty ever, no one could beat the deal. (We paid just over $22,000 and extended the warranty.) Have had a week and taken 1 trip to Maine (320 rnd trip) and am extremely happy with this car! Currently getting 20/22 mpg. Our V8 Explorer got 15 mpg city OR hwy. GREAT CAR! We LOVE it!

  • A Terrific Ride! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I researched SUVs for close to two months but when the Tucson became available I knew it was the car I wanted. The safety features including stability and traction control are what sold me. At first glance people compare it to the Lexus SUV. I feel safe driving this car!
