Performance and Looks in One Package - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Rod Grodt - February 7 - 10:39 amCompletely re-designed for 2016. The Tucson looks great. The 1.6 turbo has terrific performance, especially when accelerating in second and third gears. There is enough to pass in a hurry in Interstate driving. Our gas mileage has greatly exceeded the manufacturers figures. We get 31-34 combined and normally between 34-38 on the highway between 70-75 miles per-hour. We topped 40 on one occasion. The car is quiet, handles well and the seats are extremely comfortable for trips. They are firm and the lumbar support works well. Cargo space is almost as much as was on the 2012 Santa Fe we traded in. This is our fifth Hyundai and we have never had any problems with any of them. We are also very fortunate that our dealer has been fantastic. They treat us like family.

Best bang for your buck CUV! - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By tthacker32@gmail.com - October 23 - 10:43 pmThis crossover is amazing! The power from this little thing is amazing, dont let the size fool you. This thing has everything you could want in a crossover. Whether your looking for a family vehicle or just looking for something thats versatile for your everyday agenda, this will exceed your expectations. The interior is extremely roomy, I am about 6 1" 175lbs and can sit in the back seat and have plenty of room to relax. The back seats recline just like the front seats do which is great for long trips. The dash layout is very logical but also feels high class. The exterior styling is very sporty and aggressive, plus the 19" rims complement the styling even more. Ive had this car for a month now and love it. My favorite things are: -Panorama Sunroof -Beautiful leather interior -Super spacious -Great styling -Quick engine and transmission I looked at all the other cars in this class, but the only one that came close was the Mazda CX5, but I think this is better by far. I havent had this car long so I will post in the future with a lono term update.

Dangerous!! - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By JO - August 17 - 10:10 amThe transmission is unreliable. Have about 3600 miles on my new car and I never know when it wont go into gear! Tried to go into reverse this morning and the car would not move when I stepped on the gas...dangerous! Have had it to the dealer twice about the transmission and they have a canned speal that says it performs like other cars of this year and model (in other words, ALL of them are flawed). Internet says they are working on a software update and Nissan dealer (who services it in my area since there is no Hyundai service dept. available) hinted a software fix is coming. Hope it comes soon and before I get hit or ram into another vehicle due to the flaw in the transmission! My advice: dont but a Hyundai Tuscon until they address this issue!!!!

2016 Tucson DCT - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Bob - August 5 - 11:15 pmThe DCT is an accident waiting to happen. There are reviews about the transmission on NHTSA, Hyundai Forum, and other web sites. It only took one time to happen to my wife that I decided to get rid of this car. As expected, dealer couldnt replicate the problem (because it is a design flaw that needs to be addressed by Hyundai). Decided it was too unsafe to drive off the dealer lot. With only 3700 miles on it, decided to trade it in on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. Had 2 Santa Fes before with no problem.

Love it, but... - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Brett VanBenschoten - June 15 - 10:55 amThe automatic shift from depressing the gas pedal to accelerating is frighteningly, dangerously slow.

Modern throwback without the throwback! - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Tim - June 14 - 10:39 pmGreat overall small SUV! The turbo is more than enough and the 7 speed transmission is smooth and efficient. It has a dual clutch transmission which acts like a manual at low speeds without depressing a clutch or shifting. Reminds me of my first vehicle I ever drove except with ALOT more technological advances. Nice and roomy inside. Safety features galore. My only complaint is the somewhat numb steering feel. Three different driving modes (Eco, Sport, Normal) that allow you to tailor it to your surroundings. Im averaging 27.4mpg with 80% city driving in Normal mode. Overall I felt I made a wise choice.

Compare to more expensive cars - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Rocket Ron - June 12 - 10:30 pmIve had this care for about 1500 miles and generally am very happy with it. Im excited to get in it in the morning and drive it. I have the top of the line model so I think you have to compare this car to the Lexus NX and Audi Q3. Both are 10K more than the Tucson. This car has all the luxury features that the others have. I now understand the future of driver less cars with all the sensor the Tucson has. It really does make you a safer driver. Although I love driving the car, I do have one concern. The turbo lag from a stand still is very noticeable. Sometime the car just does not respond for a few seconds. Im learning to compensate so I think it will get better, but that is one benefit of a larger engine. All in all I would definitely recommend this car.

Deadly DCT! - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By SusanInFL - February 13 - 10:05 pmI bought my 2016 1.6L Turbo DCT Tucson Limited w/ Ultimate package the night of May 16, 2016. First incident: within 300 miles, stepped on the gas pedal & it didnt move; kept stomping on the pedal; it finally lurched forward, into oncoming traffic, then didnt move; kept stomping; it jerkily and slowly starting lurching forward; the engine was revving high through all the gears, but it didnt "kick in" until about 5th gear. Second incident: backed out of my driveway and put the car in Drive; it revved through about 5 gears and hadnt moved yet. Third incident: stopped at a red light; light turned green and car wouldnt moved; shifted through all the gears (Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive) about 6 times before it finally peeled out and sped through the intersection (sure am glad the light was still green, because I wasnt looking). Headed straight to dealership. They discharged the capacitor and "re-taught it the system". Mine was not the first Tucson brought back to the dealer. Thought I noticed a failure to accelerate within a day or two, but was confirmed when... Fourth incident: Turning left, after stopping at a Stop Sign; mid-turn an oncoming car was approaching rapidly so I stepped on the gas pedal; it revved over 4K RPMs, but didnt accelerator; oncoming car swerved to miss me; frightening as hell! My Tucson has been at the dealership since June 24th. Ive been told many stories: waiting on a back-ordered part; part due in 7/16/16; manufacturer instructed dealer not to install part because it isnt a "fix"; filed complaints at carcomplaints.com, NHTSA, Hyundai Corporate, and now here; as of yesterday (8/1/16), Ive been told a "fix" was discovered last Friday. Its supposedly going through the approval stages and should be disseminated to the dealerships within 2-3 weeks. I know I didnt get to drive my Tucson for very long, but, what I did have the opportunity to experience (interior, comfort, & technology) I fell in love with, or I would have gone through the Lemon Law and gotten rid of it. There was even talk of a "buy back", but I really wanted to wait for my Tucson. I dont have buyers remorse, I just have great disappointment that Hyundai sold me this 2016 Tucson in the first place, knowing they are death-traps that they cant keep on the road nor fix, and knowing they are releasing 2017s with the same faulty DCT. If there is not truly a remedy in the near future, I will be squeezing that Lemon.

Great car if you can handle the turbo and DCT - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
By Doug C - January 2 - 2:49 pmI love the DCT and little 1.6L turbo. I get 31 mpg and drive normal. And sometimes Ill hit sport mode and the car is really fun to drive (but I lose some of that great mpg). Lots of people complain about the DCT and maybe there are issues, but not with mine. You have to know what to expect with the turbo and the DCT. It has only a little 1.6L engine and you need that turbo to get it going. Once under boost, it is impressive. The DCT takes about 1/2 a second to engage, just like you would if you drove a manual. Give it the 1/2 sec and it all works great. Id like to see better integration with iOS and Android and a lower cost for the Bluelink package. I had a 2003 Infiniti FX35. The 2016 Tuscon is a better vehicle.
