  • Great SUV for the price & dog friendly! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    This is the third Hyundai weve owned and they just keep getting better and better. I liked the Santa Fe but thought it was a little too goofy so I was leaning towards a Toyota Highlander. For a much better price, we got a great SUV thats good looking and has a lot of zip to it. We bought the GLS with the body cladding instead of the LX because were in Texas and certainly didnt need the seat warmers and I preferred the stereo system that had the cassette player anyway, but I wanted leather, so our dealer used a local shop and gave us much better quality leather than Hyundai offers for much less than the LX package price. Great fold-down flat rear seats for the 3 dogs!

  • So easy to maneuver - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    I owned an Acura previously but because this was so stylish and comfortable I bought it anyway, plus it has 6 air bags. It is extremely easy to handle, and extremely comfortable. It hugs the road very well. I also like the heated seats, 6 CD changers, great sound system. And again the design is a real attention grabber.

    Steers like a truck. Transmission shifts to many times, when not needed! Poor gas mileage. Large blind spot in rear side windows. Black fender molding chips easily and shows white.

  • good little SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    All in all its a great value. Roomy for a small car. Nothing is exceptional, but nothing is poor either except for the gas mileage. Im getting 17 to 19 mpg.

  • Excellent All-Purpose SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I absolutely love my new Hyundai Tucson. It drives beautifully, is comfortable, is good on gas, and is very stylish. My only disappointment is that it is sluggish on hills even though it has a 6-cylinder in it. It often has to shift down, just to maintain driving speed when going up inclines. Otherwise, I havent found a small SUV that fits my own personal needs as well.

  • What a nice truck - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We were looking for something that we could "put stuff in" and didnt want to pay $30,000 plus for a Jeep. Looked at Chevy and wouldve paid more for a lot less. More airbags than my Volvo, took it on a trip from Jersey to Florida over the holidays and it was great!!! And I needed the 4WD in North Carolina of all places.

    I just bought this not long ago and Im very impressed. Hyundai is right up there with the competition no doubt. Great quality with the best warrenty! What more could you want?....go get one...youll be happy..

  • Terrific Value and Fun - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    After a few years of a haitus from SUVs I decided to buy the Tuscon based on very little knowledge other than its good looks and a good test drive. In fact I bought two at the same time for my wife and daughter since the price was right. Im impressed with the fit and finish and sold build quality. No squeaks or rattles so far. One of them did have to have the TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor replaced) after 2,000 miles. Overall, Im very pleased and would recommend it.

    Fuel efficiency is great. The warranty is the best on the market. The exterior design is appealing.

  • Tuscon Regrets - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Very dissapointing gas mileage, not 22 MPG as quoted, more like 17 MPG. Engine performance leave much to be desired, always doggin. This vehicle did not hold its value, purchased at $18,7k, at trade only worth 10k (and I shopped it around)!
