  Not what I thought - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By watson - August 9 - 8:33 am

  Not vary reliable, The computor has had to be reprogramed twice. Now the front end is being repaired because car shakes. MPH is bad. Good side is that the warrenty and the finish are great. Would I buy it again? Not sure, but price and warrenty are good. Engine noise very loud.

  Bad Gas - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Diane - December 20 - 4:26 pm

  I lost my Santa Fe due to an accident where it was totaled. I then purchased the new Tucson. While it was a great car to drive, roomy and easy to park,the gas milage was intolarable. I was only getting 13 mpg, That was not acceptable so I traded it in for the Elanta. Much better gas milage but i was my Santa Fe back

  Beware of a Tucson - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Sue - June 11 - 4:00 am

  I purchased my 2006 Tucson new. I was expecting a great vehicle. Instead I got a vehicle with a lot of problems. The rotors warped at 300 miles and again at 14,500. I have had to have the radio replaced because it drained my battery on two occasions and left me with a dead car. The moonroof whistles and they cannot correct it. That is why they give you a deflector with the vehicle because it is a design flaw. The interior marks extremely easily and if very hard to clean when marked. The best I can get on gas mileage if 21.7 even though it was rated 19 and 24. I would never buy another Hyundai and cannot wait to get rid of the vehicle. The alarm system makes no sense.

  i got a lemon - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By kat - February 17 - 7:10 pm

  this poor vehicle has been in the shop so much. i experienced it dead in my driveway 3x in my first year, problems with the tire pressure indicator light, replacement of a stereo which was draining the battery (4 trips to diagnose and replace), and air conditioning which would not blow out the top vents. after a year, i am trading, or lemon lawing it.

  bad ride - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By not happy - January 17 - 6:16 am

  Bought my tucson in oct 2006. I checked reports. Wasn t happy after I bought it. I get 19 mpg. in town 17hgy. Seems like thats backward. After only 2000 miles I have had 11 tires replaced. Second day they turned the front roters they were warped. Service said tires were bad . The tucson shakes,wobbles at low speeds. Stering wheel vibrates bad. Service says nature of this to happen. I think it has to big of tires on it. Has 235/16/60. tire to wide.Service tech. said only way to change that is to drive it a while and trade it off. I think i will take his advice. I depended on J D Powers ranking when I bought my tucson. I was let down I am 50 years old. I buy new every 2-3 years . NOT HYUNAI.

  Dont be fooled like me!! - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By vwlovanow - March 18 - 1:03 am

  Ive had my Tucson for over 2 years, I bought it with 13K miles on it, only 1 year old. Within the first 3 months of ownership, it had to go into the shop, as the 4WD was kicking into gear while shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The dealership had for a day, and said they "fixed it", well not so much. Its been in the shop to fix the same issue 4 additional times. Whether its the dealership or the car, Im fed up! Also, this car has no power, NONE! Though I knew it was a 4 Cyl and therefore low power, this car is no power at all. Its embarrassing to drive this thing. This awful vehicle makes me miss my old Dodge Neon, and that to me is sad! My husband has a VW, and there is just no comparison!

  Hyundai Tucson - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By CarFan1956 - February 23 - 7:36 am

  I bought the Tucson because of Hyundais warranty. I bought the 4-cylinder because I hoped it would save on gas. I was wrong...it gets HORRIBLE mileage. I get 16-19 MPG consistently...which is lousy and not what was advertised. It has 34000 on it now and is falling apart. I take very good care of my vehicles, but it doesnt seem to make a difference with this one. I would not buy a Hyundai again.
