  • My car is just great - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I just got my Tucson a few days ago, but I love it. It is affordable, has a smooth ride and is very, very spacious on the inside. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a SUV but cannot afford to get a Benz, BMW or Cadillac. So get one and enjoy it....

  • I love this car! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Ive been wanting an SUV for 5 years and been planning on buying one for the past year. I did a LOT of research. The Tucson Limited has not disappointed me. Ive almost hit 3000 miles on it after owning it less than 2 months. Its been on several day long road trips and did wonderful. My only real complaint is one I already knew about and applies to any SUV and that is the mileage. Im averaging about 20mpg which is a combo of hwy/city driving. On the interstate it averages about 23mpg. I actually expected it to do less so Im pleased. I am really enjoying driving this car. It rides smooth. Has good acceleration. Mine is fully loaded.

  • Comfort & Intelligent Interior - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Quality interior & creature comforts sold me on this as well as a solid ride, not jittery like the Honda. Very well thought out! Front seat folds flat, several plugs for accessories such as dvd player, plenty of cubby holes, 6 cup holders, storage nets on back of both front seats. 4 adjustments for driver seat-very comfortable for a bad back. Great ride & handles nicely with tight turning radius. High quality materials. Very quiet & little windnoise. Very deceiving on power, feels like it is slower than it really is, power is adequate, about the same as a Ford Ranger & does great on the hills with it smooth shifting tranny. Can manual shift. Excellent mileage, 27 mpg in town.

  • I Love this ride!! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Although I have had it for a few weeks I love this ride! My previous relationship was a Hyundai (Elantra) and that alone convinced me that this was a firm purchase and solid vehicle. I love the way it handles and the space on the inside. Any compact car owner could transition comfortably into this vehicle. I am trying to convince my husband to get the Santa Fe which is the 2nd gen of the Tucson. I am totally in love with this vehicle!!

  • Best SUV Ive owned - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    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.

  • a wonderful little SUV - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.
