  hmmmmm, jury is still out. - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Salem Boicot - July 1 - 9:53 am

  So far, I like the general conservative styling of the vehicle. I have the black interior which gets rid of a lot of the tackiness and cheap feel. Audio is great. Handling is brilliant for a car in its class. A few blind spots, but otherwise vision is good. Space is well used in car, although question to the depth of the dashboard, could be smaller so that the interior is forward with larger boot. Fuel economy and engine performance is rubbish. Thus far have got no where near what the dealer claimed, transmission is horrible, it needs 5 gears with better ratios, and it loves a drink. You watch the fuel gauge more than the road. Dont get this if you want an economical car.

  Best SUV Ive owned - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By coyote prosapio - January 10 - 5:10 pm

  We live in the "outback" of New Mexico, a mix of bad paved roads and dirt. Ive owned a 4-Runner, a Tundra, a Subaru and a mix of Detroit bummers, this small SUV is at the top of the list. We got about 27mpg in the Subaru along with a tough ride. We get a great ride in the Tundra, but truck mileage. In the Hyundai we get 30 on the highway and a Tundra ride. (and a Tundra sound system, AM/FM/CD/Cassette.) I hope this one is as long lasting as a Toyota cause we intend to keep it as our main ride. Ive read the comments about "ungainly ride" but that isnt my experience at all. In fact this one rides as well as the Tundra which is like a limo.

  Best Vehicle Ive Driven - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Greg S. - May 8 - 11:20 am

  In driving cars since 1975 the Tucson is the best vehicle Ive owned. Does it have shortcomings, of course. But, I knew that when I bought it. As of 8-16-10 I have 36,000 and not one problem. Tires are still very good, oil is changed every 3,000 to 4,000 and lubed. Preventive maintenance is key. The only thing I dont like it that it is noisy from a tire standpoint. Good mileage up to 27 mpg on the highway and about 22 in local traffic. Its just a nice vehicle.

  Great buy! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By DeeJai - April 26 - 4:30 pm

  I bought my Hyndai Tucson in late 08 at a decent "end of model year" discount. This is by far the smallest, and only front wheel drive suv I have ever owned but it has proven it self very capable. I have taken it from Washington, to Utah, to Alaska, all the way up to Inuvik,NWT (look it up on a google) and then all the way to New York. It does amazingly well on snow (with some good snow tires)and even handles mud and dirt roads with ease. All around Im sure glad I bought a Tucson!

  By tom - January 13 - 8:13 am

  Only 800 miles so far. Firm ride but sporty feeling. Can see well out of the vehicle. Seems well constructed. Mixed gas mileage so far 24-25 mpg. Nice short turning circle.

  a wonderful little SUV - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By awongmath - November 26 - 3:00 pm

  I have owned this little SUV for 15 months now, with nary a service problem or defect. I test drove a RAV4, VUE, Escape, and the CRV; I needed a vehicle that could easily tote my daughters everyday wheelchair and a sport wheelchair. This SUV is roomy (can hold her everyday wheelchair in the back or two medium dog crates w/o putting the rear seat down), is great fun to drive, and the turning radius is good (better than Mazda MPV, about the same as a Camry, not as good as a Volvo or BMW sedan).

  Just got but love it !!!! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Derby - August 8 - 9:03 am

  I just got my Tuscon and love it so far. I have heard complaints about the mileage, but my only problem I have with that is, I want to drive mine everywhere, even if I have no where to go, because it is very nice to drive so if i am using more gas it is because I am driving more.

  Awesome - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Lori - July 13 - 12:26 am

  I absolutely love the way my new SUV handles. The gas is pretty good on highway, 28 and 22 around town. Not too shabby. Its extremely comfortable and very roomy. It offers a lot for the price. Tinted windows in the back, the seats fold down and the window in the way back can open with out opening the hatch back. I dont really have any dislikes. The only thing that I wish I could have gotten is four wheel drive. The warranty is Fantastic.

  Love This SUV - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Love My First SUV - December 28 - 10:00 am

  Ive only owned this vehicle for a couple of months and Im very pleased. This is my very first SUV. My sister owns a Sonata and my dad owns a 2007 Tucson and Ive never heard them complain so I got one. My Tucson is a 2.0L 4-cyl but I like it. Could do a lot better on gas.

  Going very nicely - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Tom - November 28 - 2:46 am

  Very sharp turning circle. Entire vehicle well constructed. Firm ride but sporty. Gas mileage so far for mixed driving is 23-25 mpg. Good view of road and the rear. Nice high driving position. Quiet for a 4 cylinder.
