    Im 75 years old and this is the best vehicle I have ever owned. This is the first time in 50 years that I have not owned a Ford Product. I have a scooter lift attached and it makes a perfect combination. Good suspension and a reasonable size. Very easy for me to access this vehicle. Color me HAPPY!!

    Ive had the Tuscon for about two weeks now, and I absolutely love driving it. It handles quite well in the snow. The body style is different than other SUVs out there. I love the two tone it sets it apart. I love all the safety features. This is truly one of the best deals out there.

  • Happy Tuscon Owner - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We had waited for the Tuscon to come out for a year. Just wanted to see what it looked like and how it drove. After seeing a commercial at our local theater a couple of months ago, (I was hooked). I tend to hold on to a vehicle for many years reluctant to trade but after seeing and test driving the Tuscon I had to have it. I reluctantly gave up my Elantra of five years, but I am very happy with the change. The Tuscon is very easy to drive and everything is very easy to operate. My first tank of gas showed the vehicles performance at 22 miles to the gallon. I expect it will get better after engine break-in. Thank you Hyundai for coming through with another great vehicle.

    I was surprised to read today that Consumer reports determined that this car would have poor reliability. I hope that is not true and would love to know more on what they are basing this.

  • Tucson Bond - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    As a primarily sports-sedan driver, the more I drive my Tucson, the more I am bonding to it. Surprising number of luxury design features, including heated leather seats, reclining rear seats, hard-shell rear compartment cover, hidden full-size spare tire, dual opening rear hatch/glass. Contemporary styling both interior and exterior. User-friendly interior design and controls, with easy accessiblity to compartments and storage. Generous standard warranty.

  • Still Happy After 4+ Years - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    The 2.0L GL is my wifes daily driver for the past 4+ yrs. Other than regular maintenance, no major issues. Weve put 85,000km on the car, incl. a couple of big road trips to the east coast. Gas mileage? 20/25 city/hwy is respectable for this class. For the price? This car has turned out to be great value.

  • No Power???? - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Okay first off, I am an avid car guy. I enjoy reading multiple reviews 4 many different cars and trucks, and I have read several reviews on the new Tucson. Every professional review I read talked about the Tucsons poor performance in regards to its acceleration and transmission. So going into my first test drive with the vehicle I was expecting a sluggish experience. This was definitely not the case at all. No, it wont outrun my Mustang Cobra, but it has plenty of low end punch off the line. It feels eager to go as soon as you touch the pedal. I now proudly own a Tucson and have been very pleased w/it. Build quality is excellent and the value that comes with it cant be matched!

  • Fun and Exciting!!! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I bought my first Hyundai (Excel) in 1993, & loved it. Then last year (2004) my partner and I purchased a 2004 Sonata & totally love it. So, when my Honda Civic gave out on me, I decided to take a look at the Santa Fe & was not impressed. I then began my research on small SUVs & was not too impressed with what was out there. Then one day I went with a friend of mine, to his Hyundai dealer, & saw the Tucson. Knowing that I didnt care for the Santa Fe I almost didnt look at it. I let my curiosity get the best of me & Im so glad I did. I couldnt believe the room it had in it. I decided to take it for a test drive, it handles so well and drives GREAT! I LOVE MY TUCSON & you will too
