  • Great SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Overall I love this vehicle. Have not been able to get the gas mileage promised. I have averaged 21 mph on hwy. (V6 engine) (although I do have a lead foot) But much better than my Durango I traded. I have been very happy with my vehicle so far.

    The Hyundai Tucson is a great buy for typical commuter driving. Lots of standard features especially safety. Mileage could be better but it is taller than a sedan and with wider tires and I prefer to sit higher up. If you have a typical 30 minute commute, go Hyundai! No problems to speak of. Car is well built.

  • BAD CHOICE - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Bought this car for fuel economy. Did not get it. 14 local and 16 highway, if Im lucky. No pickup whatsoever. Dealer took it in 4 times and claims there is nothing wrong with it. If this is running as they say it should, dont waste your money. You can get a much larger, better built vehicle and get the same or better mileage out of it. I am so sorry I bought this vehicle

  • The great car people dont know about. - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    This car rides like a dream, easy on the body and smooth like a car. It gets much better gas mileage that the EPA number. It has all the extras as standard equipment and is a great small SUV for the money.

    Looked at many vehicles in the compact segment including the Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV, Saturn Vue. I was impressed with the initial quality of the Tucson and the features that were included in the base price. But the thing that won me over the most was the dealership and the low pressure, freindly atmosphere involved in the purchase. They made this purchase the most enjoyable of the 30 vehicles that I have purchased in the past. This is a great vehicle and I am enjoying it completely.

  • Great value for money - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I have had my Tucson now for 2 months and I LOVE IT! For 2 years I had a Honda CR-V and I have to say the Tucson is a much better value for the money! The Tucson offers much nicer "standard" options and rides like a dream. I love the fact that I have four wheel drive and the warranty is definitely a value! I also love my heated leather seats in the Winter! Even my parents are impressed! Thank you Hyundai!

  • Another Hyundai winner! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    My Tuscon is really great. I have only one beef. Mine is the 4-cyl. / auto model. Highway mileage is SUPER! I have seen it as high as 34 mpg. However, most of my driving is city...and there, the Tuscon disappoints with only 17-18 mpg. (A V-8 can give those kind of numbers.) The Tucson is bigger than one would first notice; but, mileage for a 4-cul. vehicle sould be better. Build quality is outstanding, and hauling space is very generous. Would I buy another? You bet! My family is ALL Hyundai, and we are very satisfied.

  • fun so far - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This car has been fun to drive in the short time I have owned it. My only complaint is the rather mediocre gas mileage. A little more oomph on takeoff would also be nice, but it is very comfortable, handles well, looks great, and is priced right.

  • A great buy - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Purchased 11/04. Comes well equipped, handles well, no problems so far. Looked at comparable models before this purchase; you get more for your money with the Tucson without a drop-off in quality. Have taken on several long road trips. Decent mileage, low road noise, comfortable cabin. Factory sound sytem more than adequate.
