  Poor gas mileage - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By hotrod5 - January 24 - 1:07 am

  I considered this vehicle initially because it was rated with 27/32 mpg. Not even close. I now notice it is rated 20/27 mpg. Were they not being truthful? I love the car, how it drives, and the styling, but I will not ever get over this mileage issue--especially since gas prices have gotten so high. I agree with other reviewers that the rear window needs a water squirter and that egress causes dirt on your leg due to the wide sill plate. The center console does not have a shallow tray so I went to the kitchen store and bought a small baking pan to hold my little stuff. Weird, huh?

  Not as good as Advertised - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By kayaktheriver - May 1 - 1:32 am

  After looking around for an all-around economical vehicle, I settled on the Tuscon. For the most part, its very nice, decent room, rides well, and has a nice base package of interior features. BUT, Im not happy with my gas mileage or some of the design flaws. Ive driven the vehicle for 7000 miles plus (mostly highway), and at best, Ive gotten 24 MPG - more typically Im getting 22-23 MPG. As MPG was one of the key reasons I purchased the vehicle, this is highly disappointing. Two other issues are bothersome. The rear wiper does not have a liquid sprayer. Also, when it rains, and the car is wet, when you open the doors, water pours into the vehicle. BUYER BEWARE.

  GPS System - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By sand1042 - February 15 - 3:08 am

  The desgin of the GPS in this car is very bad. You cant use in the daylight. It has the back-up camera but its worthless during the day. A true waste of our money for this package. Other than that we really like the car.

  Great value for the money - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By tuscky - October 24 - 9:41 am

  Hi, Ive clicked over 6 thousand km in this car now, and its been nothing but good so far. I took the top of the line model and even added the front and rear guards, and side steps. Anyway, Ive listed my likes/dislikes. For the money, the car is definitely great value and well worth it. I am a happy camper!

  1 week old - 2011 Hyundai TUCSON
  By thundercat - May 29 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Tucson 1 week and I love it. However, as others have noted, the mileage is not what I expected or is reported. I am only geting 21.5 mph on the highway - granted the AC has been on high due to the high outside temps we have been having. May have to contact the dealer about it. Very comfortable especially when compared to my 2001 Forester! Am looking forward to using the heated seats in the winter, which are standard on the GLS model. Loving the blue tooth, XM satellite radio, and steering wheel controls, which are standard on the GLS I hope that it is as reliable as my Subaru was and that I am able to get the mileage up.
