  Great vehicle, bad mgp - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Paetz2 - February 17 - 5:30 am

  When I purchased the Tuscan, I was looking at the Santefee.... I was drawn to the Tuscan for more leg room ... (I am 63") I have enjoyed the comfort up front, but the mpg is not that good. I have taken it thru snow, responded well, I have taken it on vacations, good too. I have never had to replace anything other than the drive belt. This car is really a reliable vehicle. It just stinks when it comes to mpg.

  Strong buy. Love my blue Tucson! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Yuri Aurich - February 15 - 2:00 am

  The first Tucson I bought was a 2006 gls 0 miles and I loved it! Then gave it to my mom and bought a BMW 325i 2006 after taking care of the bimmer and dealing with "way to expensive" service and maintenance fee decided to sell it and I did. I feel so much better now I bought an used 2005 Hyundai Tucson gls 4wd and I love it! I feel so good driving my car and going to Mexico 650 miles roundtrip from Las Vegas! With 70,000 miles on it it drives and feel like new. I would definitely buy another one and definitely recommend it to family and friends and you guys! Peace of mind, Hyundai never let me down!

  New Hyundai Tucson - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By PrestonRich - January 27 - 10:00 am

  A totally fresh vehicle! looks fantastic compared to the Mazda Tribute or the Ford Escape this is sure to be a winner. Driving is a pleasure, the V6 engine delivers good performance and the transmission is very smooth (as in common with other Hyundai products) Rear seats fold down easily, overall this is a very user friendly comapct SUV, added to this the peace of mind of the long warranty from Hyundai....a win win for the consumer!

  8 Month update - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Pharmac - January 20 - 11:23 pm

  I have had my Tucson since Aug, and have put about 12,000 miles on it so far. Most of it on the Washington DC Beltway and 1 long trip. Overall very satisfied. Very responsive (for an SUV), never felt out of control, enjoyed the sound system. I really believe it has about the best balance of styling and features. NO real complaints. Mileage could be better, sure, but hey I knew what I was getting when I bought it so no complaints from me.

  An awesome, awesome vehicle! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By chadnskey - January 16 - 10:56 am

  I no complaints about the Tuscon. It is comfortable, very smooth ride, and the V6 performs very well. I bought this SUV because of the excellent 10 year warranty, the 5 year roadside assistance, the sporty styling, dual exhuast and its "bowed up" stance. It looks like it is ready to rumble! My wife loves the car as well. The engine compartment is extremely simple with all of the fluid dipsticks color coded and easy to check. There are so many standard features available. Other manufacturers charge for whats standard on this vehicle. So far, I am very, very happy with this Suv!

  Hyundai Tucson: The Most Bang for the $ - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By John Keene - January 7 - 6:50 am

  This vehicle is a far better deal than any of its competition (e.g., Ford Escape; Honda CRV and Element; Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander) because of all of its standard safety and driveline features, many of which are not even offered as options by the competition. Try to build a Honda CRV or RAV4 that has all (or even most) of the standard features of the Tucson and you are looking at a purchase price of at least $5,000 more! I know: I priced the three of them at local dealerships. The second reason why I love this vehicle is the very high quality of its construction. All of the fitments are like those in a Lexus: they click and thunk with the right sounds, and look great, too.

  First Glance - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By justme - December 31 - 4:30 am

  Whats this poor gas mileage? Got 26.3 mpg on the first trip of 320 miles! Sound system is great - cruise control is tight and the ride is solid. Its just fun to drive and Ive been doing that for over 45 years. What used to be extras are included - heated outside mirrors, fog lights...and what a warranty that includes roadside assistance. Seems impossible to beat or even come close!

  Tuscon - Good Mileage, Interior Room - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By BobG65 - December 24 - 1:53 am

  I drove my 4 Cyl 5 Speed Tuscon 8000 miles from the NY to Oregon and back. Over the trip I averaged 26 MPG (70+ MPH on most thruways). I also found that wind resistance is a major contributor to the mileage. I got much better mileage in the high altitude states of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana than in the lower altitude states. I also am very suspicious of ethanol because when I used it in Iowa and Nebraska I got by far my worst mileage (22 MPG). I am very satisfied with my Tuscon in most respects. I found that the odometer is off by 3% (you have driven 3% further than it says, so my milage was actually 26.8 MPG). I also am not happy that two levels of my wiper intermitent settings no delay.

  Love this SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Kait - November 17 - 12:06 am

  This is a great truck. It meets my needs for something fun to drive, comfortable, and with a good basic sound system. It meets my husbands needs for something that looks "rugged" that can handle hauling all of our camping equipment for our trips to the North Shore. It handled great through the MN winter and is a fun truck to zip around in.
