  Ho Hum Hyundai - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By CB500Rider - August 13 - 9:56 am

  My wifes 2000 Accent got wrecked. It was a good car and shed been asking for an SUV. Because of the reliabilty, service, functionality and fuel economy we had with the Accent we bought a Tucson. We went with the 4cyl because of fuel economy. Hyundai says this engine gets 27mph on the highway. Dont believe it. In a 5000 mile round trip from Florida to California we averaged 20mph at 70mph using the cruise control. My pick-up gets bet mileage that that. The service department overfilled the oil as if it were the 2.7 V6 and then scarred up the dash when the CD player had to be replaced. They also broke off the rear window whiper. Its mount is made of cheap pig- metal.

  Hyundai Tucson Rating - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Alan Wade - June 13 - 6:03 pm

  Purchased nearly 3 mos. ago, my wife primarily drives it but we switch off. I think it is fun to drive & has a better ride than expected. More head room than our 2004 Sonata which is also very nice car.

  60,000 miles and now my engine just shuts off - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By jmartin99 - April 7 - 3:42 pm

  I love my Tucson, and I have not had any issues until I brought it in back in August for its 60,000 mile warranty check up, and Now randomly my engine just shuts off while driving, this is scary. I have read up on many forrums that this is a problem that occurs in the 2005 Tucson. Shouldnt there be a recall???? This is dangerous!

  Great Drive - Best Quality and Pricing - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By dolomite - March 24 - 12:36 am

  A very good vehicle. As compared to other SUV/Crossover type vehicles (RAV4, CRV), this one definately outperforms over them all. Hyundai is slowly, but surely and definately improving their image and quality of thier vehicles - and the Tuscon is proof of it.

  6 month owner - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By kevin - September 29 - 9:46 am

  I have owned for 6 months, and have been very happy with it so far. After extensive comparisons and test driving, I chose it over vehicles like RAV4, CR- V, Liberty, etc. Why? Value for the price, comfort for driver & passenger, automatic with manual control, 4WD lock. My complaints so far are few: The console between the front seats is too low to function well as an arm rest, and needs to be about 2" higher (Im average height). I would like an inch or 2 more clearance. The automatic transmission is not as smooth as I would hope. And gas mileage is not stellar for the vehicles size. That said, Im extremely happy with the Tucson and would easily recommend it to others.

  Great Value, for the price - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Joe - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Bought the 05 Tucson in October and so far so good. The exterior is flashy and the interior isnt half bad either. the small v6 is good on gas and still has the pep that it should. Gear timing could be spaced a little more but i use the manual power shifter most of the time anyway. Good stock 6 speaker sound system with good midrange. Seat adjustment knobs are a little funny to play with; havent quite found that perfect setting. 6 airbags are wonderful and give me peace of mind. Decent MPG. A great little sport cross for the price. I am impressed.

  6 Year Review - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
  By red70 - March 31 - 3:06 am

  Since the last 5 year review, have solved a few issues. #1) Removing the interior dome lights have solved the battery going dead problem. Maybe its related to the automatic lamp dimmer circuit which activates when you close the door. #2) The trans-axle has not leaked again, and is working fine since repaired a year ago. #3) The door remotes are still intermittent, but I can live with that. #4) Replaced the tires with Kumho tires, and must say they ride nice. #5) I have confidence once again in the vehicle, and now feel the Purchase was worth it.
