  • Better than Expected - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Ive come to enjoy this buggy more and more. Its an adult car! Even the back seat is adjustable for adults. You set the controls and it does what youd expect. ESP off and 4 Wheel lock work up to 25 mph then go to normal safety mode. When youre bogged down below 25 it kicks back in.. Great bad weather car!

    I have been followng this car since it was intorduced ant the 2004 Auto Show. I knew all that was to know about the car before it hit the dealership. When it finally arrived I was at their door. Bought the car on the spot. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. By the way......I also own a Santa Fe. Two fantastic cars.

  • Former Honda CRV Owner - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    We had a 1998 Honda CRV and shopped many compact SUVs, the Hyundai Tucson had many more safety, comfort, and design features for the price than any other compact SUV. After having it for a couple of months we have not missed our Honda CRV, that we enjoyed for 7 years. The Tuscon is far more comfortable and easy to drive than the Honda. We keep saying "the Tucson is like a small luxury vehicle." Its comfortable, low wind and engine noise, and easy to drive. Fit and finish are top notch. Gas mileage could be better, we do not get the EPA listed on the sticker. Over all we could not be more pleased at this point. For a small SUV it draws a lot of attention from other drivers.

  • Great little SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I traded in a 1999 Pathfinder for this used 2005 Tucson. So far it does most of what I expected it to do. I did loose some cargo and tow capacity with the trade, but the extra MPG makes up for it. It could have more road handling. You dont want to push it too hard into the corners. The stock stereo had to go. I couldnt hear it on the freeway if all the windows were down. The tie downs in the back could be a bit stronger or moved off of the cover.

    I am very pleased with how the vehicle was thought out. Ergonomically well done. It drives like a car.

  • First SUV - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Saw the Tucson at an auto show. We had just purchased a new Elantra for my husband and were picking it up when I sat in the Tucson to see how it felt. Really liked it. I traded in my 2003 Sonata GLS that was wonderful for the Tucson that I fell in love with. It handles well and is a pleasure to drive. Roominess is great. Im 6 and my husband is 63".

    Weve only had it for 3 days, but so far we love it. We shopped around for about a month and the Tuscon was by far the best small SUV.

  • Had to have two ! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    We had been reading about these SUVs for months and couldnt wait until they hit the showroom floor. After we drove one we were hooked ! Love the size and V6 and its a kick to drive. We ending up buying two ! Fit, form and function on both of our SUVs are excellent and they are just really fun to drive.

  • Great ride - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I purchased a 4 cylinder 2 liter automatic. It has a very comfortable ride like a car, smooth not bumpy. A lot of interior space. It is just me in it most of the time but I dont have to rely on asking someone to pick up large items for me. Once youve had an SUV, it would be very hard to go back to a car. This is perfect size.

  • What a GREAT car!!! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Before buying a Tuscon I test-drove Hondas CR-V, Toyotas RAV4, Saturns VUE, Hondas Element, Chevy Blazer - none can hold a candle to the Tuscon. A smooth, QUIET ride was a must for me; it gives by far the most solid-feeling, quiet ride. Everything about it feels "sound" - even the doors close w/ a solid sound. Love this car!
