    I love my Tucson! The size is perfect - I dont feel like I am driving a bus. The ride is smooth and it is very easy to drive. It takes corners better than any SUV Ive driven. I feel comfortable and safe when I drive and thats what I love about it the most. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a smaller SUV and better gas mileage!

    Battery will go dead at infrequent random times. I installed a new battery, but same problem. Dealer has no idea how to fix it. The trans-axle began to leak oil and make a burning smell. The dealer repaired it alright. Front tires are already worn out at 38k miles. The door remote control function is intermittent. I find myself shifting in manual mode most of the time, to obtain the most power and gas mileage. Also, the warranty may appear good at first, but the required maintenance schedules should be reviewed before buying. Would I buy this vehicle again? I dont think so. Mostly because of the battery issue.

  • Great SUV! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I purchased the Tucson in July and I love it. In March, I purchased a Santa Fe but I wanted a smaller SUV. So, I traded it in and bought the Tucson. I really love it - performance, style, interior and exterior. However, an eighteen year old smashed into the SUV the first week of August. I am still waiting to get my SUV back. The SUV smashed very, very easily and the person was going 15 or 20 mph when he hit me. He smashed my door, side fender, and the SUV has suspension damage. It is now Sept. and I am hoping to get the SUV back before the end of the month. It appears that parts are hard to find.

    I bought it a few weeks ago and love it. We had a big snow day beofre Thanksgiving and it went right thru the worst of the snow like it was nothing. Had a blast driving it. Very roomy inside, very comfortabke seats. Almost like sitting in a living room. Tons of standard cool features. My only gripe is the gas mileage. It was estimated to be 20/27, but I am getting 18avg city/highway, and most of my driving has been highway! Whats up with that? Otherwise, it was better than I expected.

  • so far so good - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    We just purchased the car, we upgraded from a 4cyl. vehicle and we are still adjusting to the additional fuel costs, but not bad. We love everything about the car, I would appreciate a better arm rest in the front and the cd player when switching to another disc doesnt always start on track one. I was slightly concerned about my image if caught driving a Hyundai, but now after 3 weeks I think it is the smartest buy I ever made and know it is going to be a big seller, The only other car that compared in comfort and a smooth ride was the Lexus rx, I drove them all! The Tucson is a great ride.

    Have driven the vehicle over 6,000 miles since purchase. No problems of any type have been observed. Good acceleration, traction and handling characteristics. Fuel economy, approximately 20 MPG average, is within the lower portion of the published range.

    I traveled this summer from Ga to PA. My children came with us. My son is 64"and my daughter 57". They expressed how comfortable and spacious the back seats were. The back seats also have the option to recline for better comfort.

    I love my Tuscon. This vehicle is incredible. I routinely get comments on how nice and easy the ride is. The drivability is great as it has very quick reflexes. Its awesome. Fuel economy is the same as what I had in my old sedan--24mpg. Its stylish, versatile, easy to drive, and an excellent buy.

  • Best For Your Money - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for a quality built vehicle. They gave this suv a lot of thought. Has alot of room to haul people or grocerys. The warranty they put behind this suv is amazing. If all the other manufactures can build them this good then they would back it up with a warranty like this one has. It is a joy to drive. I would buy this one again.
