  • 4.5 yrs and still like new! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Still love this car, no problems 4.5 yrs later. Also was the least inexpensive & best bang for the buck when I bought it new vs CR-V, RAV4, X3, Escape and the only one of them that had all elements V6, 4wd, ESP, 6 airbags, Sunroof, Leather Heated Seats, and a 5yr Bumper to Bumper. I was worried at time about investing in a Hyundai but now believe they are a solid value company for cars under $30k. What Nissan and Toyota used to be 20 yrs ago! The 4wd & ease of driving in snow/rain has been fantastic, I will never go back to 2wd. Perfect utility car for daily commuting, running around with the kids to soccer & LL on weekends, and camping. I expect 10 yrs out of this car easy. Fun Ride

  • Tucson is a great value - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    This is the third SUV Ive owned after a Ford Explorer and a Nissan Pathfinder. I am extremely pleased with the Tucson. The build quality, fit and finish, and overall quality is the best of all of them. No problems in my first month/1,500 miles with no squeaks, rattles or anything else to have the dealer fix. The safety features are great to have and standard too. An incredible value.

    I just got my Tucson and i love it! I do agree with everyone about the get up and go on it. It could be better. Other then that it is perfect for me. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee before this and i am happy about my new choice.

    After owning five new american cars and having nothing but problems, I decided to buy a foreign car. Many months of review and test drives kept bringing me back to Hyundai.I am so glad that the reputation Hyundai has put behind them as a cheap unreliable car.Only owning the Tucson for a short time ,I am sure with the quality and craftsmanship that went onto building it, I will be happy for years to come.Take note,another company to overtake American cars...Hyundai

  • Never again... - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    At first I enjoyed the vechile, until the interior parts such as the ashtray (broke 2 times) the sunglass holder broke. I have also had ongoing fuel system problems with leaks that the dealer can never seem to fix and keeps giving it back broken. I am not happy with the fit and finish of the vechile I think they could have used better material. But i guess you get what you pay for. But i will have to definatly say never buy a vechile from the Atlantic Automall in West Islip. Terrible Service, terrible sales, they told me they were going to include a better warranty on the vechile. I ended up paying for it without even knowing. Not happy. I guess i bought a lemon

    After a year of searching... Needing something larger for my business, switching from a 4dr Corolla to an SUV, my searches for something with equal or better quality for a price that wasnt going to bust my bank account, the Tucson gives me everything the others do, at close to half the price. A Highlander equally equiped had a sticker shock of 34K (not kidding either), was quickly xd off the my list once I got into the Tucson. The interior has that roooomy but cozy feeling. Its solid and drives great. My neighbor is envy.

  • My New 2006 Tucson - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Just bought a new 2006 Tucscon, Alpine Frost. Love it! Other drivers stare at my cute new car. Drove my baby grandson, daughter & son-in-law up to visit my elder daughter & family in the Tri-Cities area two days after I bought it. The Tucson drove great! I am very impressed with its stability around curves and the way it holds the road. Very comfortable drive. I havent had a brand-new vehicle since I bought a new 4-dr Datsun in 1965.. This little Hyundai is so sturdy and so well made, I know Im going to love it the more I drive it. Im retiring this December and look forward to traveling between grand-kids... even in the winter! I just dont think you can go wrong with this car.

    Excellent, beautiful leather interior, attractive body style, drives like a car, comfortable as a expensive auto.

  • My 1st SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Great so far. Nice stereo system - MP3 player a plus. Much bigger inside than it looks. Good ride - smooth on the highways. I like the dashboard features. Glovebox is HUGE. Lots of rear seat room, even when front seats are pushed all the way back. A great value so far (except for the gas mileage)
