  Almost a 10 - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Car Girl - June 2 - 10:00 am

  I bought my fully-loaded Limited about 2 weeks ago and generally like it a lot. I am not happy with the gas mileage which is about 28.4 on the highway. I was hoping for at least 30+ mpg. The Aurora Blue is a beautiful color which does not show dirt as did my previous black vehicle. I have some hip and back problems, but this vehicle is very comfortable. This small SUV is large enough for my needs and it is nicely equipped. My husband and I are both tall, and theres plenty of room for us.

  Traded in a ML 320 for a Tucson. Great styling and value on this vehicle. Layout of the dash is great too.

  Good mileage so far! - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Sandra - December 13 - 10:00 am

  I like my Hyundai, just got it 3 weeks ago, it looks great for me, sport style. I got 35 mpg driving in the interstate the first day I bought it. So far the best gas mileage combined city and highway is 27 mpg, not bad for a SUV. My dealership offered me the special paint that will protect the car paint for ever, "unlimited warranty", I hope it works well, and I got the undercoating option too, "unlimited warranty" as well.

  Such a fun car to drive - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By igibbons - November 17 - 3:10 pm

  I recently traded in a 2012 Kia Sportage 6 speed manual for a 2011 Tucson that my girlfriend can drive as well. I wish I had gone with the Tucson from the get go. The steering provides relatively good feedback and it responds quickly. On twisty roads I would consider it sporty. The ride can be slightly firm but it IS an suv and that lends to the fun factor around corners. Gas mileage is low 20s but I spend most my days in city traffic and when I can let loose I push the engine. Cabin is comfortable and visibility is great when you properly adjust your mirrors. Completely happy with this new vehicle.

  Nice SUV, but does have one or 2 things - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Skynyrdfan5 - May 31 - 11:30 am

  I bought this car August 21, 2010 and already have 400 miles on it. Its a nice car to drive, however it does have its drawbacks. There are times the car likes to brake for you (or at least apply brake pressure) (so you could be going 60 mph, and then all of a sudden going 55 mph. Not fun, but they got that development over the fact that Ford is awful (the roll over issue and tires exploding). That being said, its got a nice ride - and handles well for the most part. Stereo is nice. Although be careful if you use water to wash it. Didnt know it would leave water spots on the car. If thats the way the paint deals with water, I may be giving the car back. Water shouldnt ruin it.

  Not so bad for a low-end compact SUV - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By hyundai3 - April 23 - 11:46 am

  This is the third Hyundai I have purchased. So far, it is great. Would love the electric drivers seat though. Has a rattle in the rear door, may be the license plate bracket, still havent figured out where it is coming from yet. Not a big deal. Fuel economy is from 16.5 to 19.1. Hot summer here so using AC all the time, plus city driving mainly. Has under 700 miles on it but I really enjoy driving it. AC seems to run warm on occasion. Had five people in it and drove nicely, still had ample acceleration.

  Love My Limited! - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By K - January 18 - 10:00 am

  Bought my 2011 Tucson Limited FWD with Navigation Pkg a week ago. Took it on a 300 mi mostly highway round trip last weekend and averaged 29 mpg. Its comfortable, quiet, and fun to drive. Learning the navigation package is a project in and of itself.

  The most awesome car Ive ever seen! - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By monicamae4 - August 25 - 11:17 am

  I bought a 2011 Hyundai Tucson, limited. We got such a sale, 18,900, 39,000 miles, for a fully loaded. We went for a Toyota Rav 4, 2011 with 54,000 miles on it, for the same price. Test drove both, and, the Tucsons much smoother ride beat the Rav by miles. I cant drive large vehicles and dont like sedans. This CUV, seems like it was made for me. I love the small turning radius, so much. The seats are very comfortable, even the back seats are as wonderful as the front. I cannot stop talking about this car, I, me, I actually have a Tucson in my driveway, it just blows me away. Driving this CUV, is a very fun experience, cant believe there arent more out there.
