  • I LOVE IT!!! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This my first SUV- traded in my 2000 Mustang for more room and practicality. My dogs love it- I fold the back seats flat and they plenty of rooms to roam, and dont have to put their paws on the door handles! Very comfortable drive- I took it on a lengthy road trip, and didnt have an aching back when I got to my destination. Very fun to drive, and handles extremely well. Im extremely happy with my new investment!

    Solid well built SUV, had a RAV4 which was great but underpowered. This has everything you could want except power seats and NAV system but at a price you cannot beat at any other make, best bang for the buck, will put the others to shame.

  • The best SUV yet - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We tried every other SUV vehicle in its class (Honda, toyota, Saturn) and this SUV blew them all away. It is comfortable, good gas mileage (22-24, great to look at and is an all-around great buy. If you want a fantastic SUV, look no further this is it!!!

  • Hyundai is here to stay - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    This is a great little SUV. So roomy and comfortable seating too. The warranty is unbeatable and proves that Hyundai is confident in its product. The standard ammenities that it comes with just surpass all others (cd, 8 airbags, heated mirrors, back defroster) just to name a few. The gas mileage is average for an SUV. Not great, but then again your not driving a compact 4 cyl car either. The dealership I dealt with was wonderful- not pushy or high- pressure. I foresee many Hyundais in my future. Actually have my sights on the new 06 Accent.

  • What a ride - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    This is a wonderful vehicle. It has as much room for the driver as my Expedition. Drives like a sports car. The all wheel, 4 wheel drive option is quite surprising. Had the vehicle in the snow, no problems. The sound systems is very nice.

  • Wow! Way to go Hyundai! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We purchased our new Tucson on 4/10/05. And all I can say is WOW! This tiny vehicle is big on the inside, and small on price. We traded in our 2003 Elantra GLS GT and we are completely satisfied. I was already used to good pick-up and power from having the GT,but I didnt think they could do better. We live in the Mts. of PA and the Elantra never really handle the inclines that well, but the Tucson rips up the road without a problem. Previous reviews about the Tucson that said the gas mileage was not good, but I disagree. Gas mileage is comparable with everyone else. At todays gas prices all gas mileage seems bad. Weve had it for 4 days now, and put on 800 miles. I love this car.

  • Love my 05 Tucson - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Ive driven 05 Tucson for 4+ years now, and Ive been very happy. So far just changing wears and tears like tires, breaks, oils, wipers, belts, etc. No major problems at all so far after 71,000 miles. My old Volvo usually cost me annually $2-3000 for major repairs with constant halts on highways. Happy to get rid of it. Living in East coast, went through a few big snow storms, and no problems at all with 2WD(front), and ETS always helped me staying on the road. I also took many long trips to Chicago, Main, Virginia, etc, and very comfortable with 5 people in the car with luggage. I also used this car a lot for moving, excellent when frnt&rear seats completely go plat, lots of cargo space.

    With in the first 1500 miles I had to take my wife to a Philadelphia hospital.Thats a 250 mile round trip for me. The Tucson was great on the highway and even better driving in downtown Philly. I would recomend this small SUV to anyone.

    I love my Tucson! The size is perfect - I dont feel like I am driving a bus. The ride is smooth and it is very easy to drive. It takes corners better than any SUV Ive driven. I feel comfortable and safe when I drive and thats what I love about it the most. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a smaller SUV and better gas mileage!

  • Great SUV! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I purchased the Tucson in July and I love it. In March, I purchased a Santa Fe but I wanted a smaller SUV. So, I traded it in and bought the Tucson. I really love it - performance, style, interior and exterior. However, an eighteen year old smashed into the SUV the first week of August. I am still waiting to get my SUV back. The SUV smashed very, very easily and the person was going 15 or 20 mph when he hit me. He smashed my door, side fender, and the SUV has suspension damage. It is now Sept. and I am hoping to get the SUV back before the end of the month. It appears that parts are hard to find.
