Tuscon just shy of Outlander - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By harry lawrence - November 5 - 3:33 amPriced to compete with the Highlander it cannot match safety and resale. Outlander best of both worlds with all safety features at price of base Tuscon

It would be exceptional other than one thing - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Jeffrey Koch - May 17 - 8:44 pmOverall its a great CUV. Performs brilliantly in the snow which is why I got it. The one gripe which is a big gripe and you can see it peppered through the other reviews, is that the tranmission, the dual clutch is jerky and confused and feels like the clutch is slipping in very low speeds (1-10 mph). I had a VW dual clutch before this car, and from my understanding former VW engineers built this car which was a big selling point, but the VW dual clutch doesnt have this issue and its incredibly awkward in slow moving traffic. It would have been a 10 out of 10 if they just got this right, and I think a proper software revision would fix it. Hope to god they do.

New Tucson - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By docdearth2@aol.com - May 16 - 9:55 amI drove a bunch of different SUVs in this price category. My impressions: Honda CRV - Nice car but under powered. Would have bought this if it came in a 6 cyl. or turbo. Mazda MX-5 Also nice but rather austere and plain. Ford Escape - Very nice styling, good power, busy instrumentation and a bit too close and crowded in the front seat. Hundai Santa Fe - unimpressed, also under-powered based on the non turbo version I drove. Hundai Tucson Ltd 1.6 with turbo engine....Goldie Locks - everything felt just right. Nice styling, nice ride. Very impressed with the 1.6 turbo engine and the vehicles acceleration. Turbos sometimes take a little getting used to. Instrumentation is clear and not cluttered. Sporty feel with very good brakes. Cabin feels larger than the competitors. Lots of technology bells and whistles. This year 2016 is a new re-design. I have the vehicle a short time, so I cant attest to its reliability. However, Hundai offers one of the best vehicle warantees in the business. So far, I have been very pleased with the vehicle.

Honda who? - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Titan415@hotmail.com - January 5 - 7:16 pmMy wife had her 2007 Honda CR-V for almost 10 years and 140,000 miles and loved it. It never gave us a day of trouble--not one--and she didnt even mind that it was loud and rough and crude. Based on this, I assumed that when it was time to upgrade, shed go with the car she felt comfortable with. Nope. She drove a new 2016 CR-V and was pretty surprised that it hadnt evolved at all. In a field of competitors, Honda had done nearly nothing to improve on a car that has fallen further and further behind. Im shocked that it remains a top pick for small SUVs. I chose a few cars for her to sample. She really liked the Subaru Outback and the Hyundai Santa Fe, but then she drove this and fell in love. Its got a taut but smooth ride, a comfortable and quiet ride, great safety features, easy-to-use technology, and its kind of gorgeous. Theres a LOT here to love. My only complaint (it doesnt bother her at all) is that transmission everyone is talking about. By all accounts the problem is much worse on the base model, but even here on the top-line Limited its odd. The transmission doesnt know what to do in certain circumstances, and feels unsettled until it gets it legs under it. It does concern me, but the 100k warranty soothes my brow a bit. All in all, its a pretty great if imperfect car, and I was unable to find a better value anywhere.

Love it, but... - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Brett VanBenschoten - June 15 - 10:55 amThe automatic shift from depressing the gas pedal to accelerating is frighteningly, dangerously slow.

Compare to more expensive cars - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Rocket Ron - June 12 - 10:30 pmIve had this care for about 1500 miles and generally am very happy with it. Im excited to get in it in the morning and drive it. I have the top of the line model so I think you have to compare this car to the Lexus NX and Audi Q3. Both are 10K more than the Tucson. This car has all the luxury features that the others have. I now understand the future of driver less cars with all the sensor the Tucson has. It really does make you a safer driver. Although I love driving the car, I do have one concern. The turbo lag from a stand still is very noticeable. Sometime the car just does not respond for a few seconds. Im learning to compensate so I think it will get better, but that is one benefit of a larger engine. All in all I would definitely recommend this car.

Great Vehicle for a Small Family - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON

Great car if you can handle the turbo and DCT - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Doug C - January 2 - 2:49 pmI love the DCT and little 1.6L turbo. I get 31 mpg and drive normal. And sometimes Ill hit sport mode and the car is really fun to drive (but I lose some of that great mpg). Lots of people complain about the DCT and maybe there are issues, but not with mine. You have to know what to expect with the turbo and the DCT. It has only a little 1.6L engine and you need that turbo to get it going. Once under boost, it is impressive. The DCT takes about 1/2 a second to engage, just like you would if you drove a manual. Give it the 1/2 sec and it all works great. Id like to see better integration with iOS and Android and a lower cost for the Bluelink package. I had a 2003 Infiniti FX35. The 2016 Tuscon is a better vehicle.

Hello Turbo. - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By William Conlee - June 10 - 2:38 pmI have always had big V8 trucks. Didnt have to worry about gas mileage because they were always weekend vehicles. I had a company vehicle during the week. I ended up with the 2016 Tucson Sport 1.6T mainly because of Edmunds.com expert review. New position at work required me to have my own commuter vehicle, so I figured compact SUV with great mileage. Granted, I have had this vehicle for a week now and have only put 115 miles on it... so take this review with stride. This is more of my first impression than it is longevity. I will keep reporting my views as I travel through the mileage. First off, it costs less then $35 bucks to fill up. I live in Texas, so gas prices hover around $2.20 - 2.40 at the moment. This is huge to me since I was used to $70 fill ups. I looked at all the comparable vehicles as well. My wife has the Mazda CX-5 Touring. I could have purchased one as well, but honestly, its boring to me. The Ford escape is a good vehicle but they are super proud of their pricing... and the experience at the local Ford dealerships is lack luster and somewhat insulting. Then there is the Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav-4. Reliable? Sure. Boring, boring, boring. Like having a mini van. I am a 6ft tall, 200lb, 38 year old man who used to think it had to be huge and if it didnt have 350 plus horsepower, dont bother me with it. If your like me and looking for a compact SUV for a job, travel, or for some other reason go and test drive the Tucson Sport 1.6T. Put the vehicle in "sport" mode and punch it. It will surprise you. Points I like so far: - Quick little motor. Got Boost? Yes. Yes it does. - Headroom, headroom, and headroom. - Holy safety features Batman - 19" wheels look nice and set it apart. - Hypnotizing LED lighting. - Transmission shifts are like a magic trick. - Wife likes it. This of course it the final say all and high point. Give this thing a shot, you wont be disappointed.
