  • Tucson review-4th Hyundai - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    Easy & fun to drive.Turning radius as good or better than a car.Snow driving has been handled with very good control. Like the size better than the Santa Fe. Like the comfort better also.4WD has been advantage to the size & ability to control vehicle.For the price in comparison with other vehicles of like it seems much more worth it than all the extra thousands for just a few more add ons or a little higher quality materials. Dealership has been very good in working with us. This is our 4th Hyundai-for Service,Friendliness, what they say they will do,they have been following thru,probably another reason why this our 4th 7 they get our return business.Only got 1000miles so farbutonly21mpg,

    I am very pleased with this SUV. We looked at cr-v and rav-4 and found this was a best buy for our money. We are snow birds from Boston so the space was important to us. We bought a fwd ( no snow in Fla. ) I have only 350 miles on it. I am getting about 21- 22 mpg. All city driving and the ac on.

    I got my Tucson after months of shopping and comparing. It is a pleasure to drive after my previous Toyota. I could tell by the look in his eyes the first time he drove it, he was in love so that when his car was totaled 2 weeks later. He went and got one. Now we have a blue and a red Tuscon.

  • AWESOME! - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I absolutely ADORE my Tucson! I bought it in Dec 04, and Im still infatuated with it. When I bought my Elantra the "honeymoon phase" lasted about a month. Hyundai improved their quality and performance by leaps and bounds between 98 (my elantra) and 04 (my Tucson). Ive actually been stopped by several people (at the gas station or parking lot) who were really impressed with it-and shocked to learn its a Hyundai.

  • Fun - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON

    Real nice solid ride

  • so far so good - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I have had my new Tucson for about 2 weeks as of this writing. I drive an average of 55 miles a day mixed city and highway. I have been on a 900 mile round trip(to Gettysburg) with tucson. All of the "professional" reviews I read didnt seem to feel the tucson V-6 has enough power. I disagree. Even with both rear seats down and the cargo space full, with two adults up front and the A/C on- I never felt that I didnt have enough power to get on the highway safely. Its no sports car by any means but it is zippy enough to be a fun drive. My only complaint would be that I wish the steering wheel had a little bigger range of tilt and would telescope as I just cant get 100% comfortable

  • Love Driving a Tucson - 2005 Hyundai TUCSON
    By -

    I love driving this car. My only complaint is that the mileage is only about 20 mpg and my old car did better. It has a lot of pep and a lot of room, but still isnt so big as most SUVs. Its easy to maneuver. The A/C will blow you into the back seat and it just feels good driving it. Before I bought the Tucson I drove a Suzuki SUV, a Toyota Rav4 and a Honda CRV and the Tucson won hands down.
