  One of the best cars I have owned...... - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By chezslav - May 8 - 2:03 am

  I leased this car then bought it at the end of the lease. I have 90,000 miles on it and it has been trouble free. I did have to have the radio replaced but it was under warranty. I get 23.8 miles to a gallon. The car is fun to drive, VERY practical, and is loaded with features. We have driven this car hard and often. It has been from coast-to-coast and back. I intend to keep it until it dies. It is comfortable, but I DO wish it had another 4-5 inches of legroom in front. We are ALL tall in my family. I recently had the car detailed by my dealership and it looks brand new. I change the oil, fluids....etc..as needed. If you can find one of these cars and it has been cared for, buy it!

  15,000 mile follow-up - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Tahoe Commuter - April 1 - 10:30 pm

  I already reviewed (see below) right after purchase; heres my 15,000 mile update: Fuel economy is all the way up to 20.8 mpg with the 4WD V6. Pleasantly surprised with this, because I drive up and over a 9,000 foot mountain 2x a day and didnt expect the gas mileage to be this high after reading all the reviews. Ive had zero problems with the vehicle, havent had to go to the dealership for anything. Would still definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe (5-star crash ratings front & side), inexpensive 4WD with a great warranty. And its not killing me at the pump, either. From a guy who spends 2 hours commuting every day in the worst conditions imaginable: 2 thumbs up.

  I Love My Tuscon - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Nancy V. Farrell - February 27 - 6:33 am

  I Love My Tuscon, it is the best SUV. I dont even think of it as an SUV, it just rides so nice and smooth, handles like a car, and is so comfortable. I didnt think I would like it, but was I wrong! I LOVE THIS CAR/SUV. Its fun to drive, its performance is just great. Its a well built vehicle. With being a Hyundai, it is a reliable car/suv. It does very well on gas. We drove to Florida and back and it averaged 28mpg. My husband was very impressed, but he still likes his Sonata. This will be my last car for a while and I am very happy that I bought a Tuscon. I Love My Tuscon!!!!

  2006 Tuscon - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Brenda - February 5 - 1:50 pm

  We bought a five speed Tuscon for its price and fuel economy. We love it. It is so much fun to drive and gets so much better fuel economy than the last three automatic transmission Ford Escapes I have had. I love the side view mirror defrost feature and the cargo area liner; its great to just lift up and dirt falls off versus having to vac carpet every time you purchase plants for your garden and bring them home. Its so easy to keep clean and has lots of wonderful little features that you wouldnt expect for the price!

  Big Car for Little Money - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Elaine Sommer - February 4 - 11:36 am

  I love my car. I used to own a van and was not ready to go back into a vehicle. This sport utility is great.

  Great small SUV - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By JTB - January 22 - 3:43 pm

  It is really nice, and comes with a lot of options standard. Great for the price and very well built. The V6 has good pickup and it drives very well. I had a 2 door sports car before this one. It was a big change but I am really pleased with the Tucson. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a SUV that has a lot of options yet affordable. Gets good MPG too.

  First SUV - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Jersey Shore - December 26 - 7:50 am

  This is my first SUV after owning strictly sports cars. I love the ability to shop and fit many items, including large inside without too much effort. Nice design. I looked at several SUVs prior to this purchase, my decision was based on the design, bank for the buck and the warranty. The mileage is not that great, it has improved. Only getting about 21-22 MPG. Having owned it for just one year, barring any future problems, I would buy another Hyundai.

  Bad Gas - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Diane - December 20 - 4:26 pm

  I lost my Santa Fe due to an accident where it was totaled. I then purchased the new Tucson. While it was a great car to drive, roomy and easy to park,the gas milage was intolarable. I was only getting 13 mpg, That was not acceptable so I traded it in for the Elanta. Much better gas milage but i was my Santa Fe back

  Good Value-Weak Engine - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Roger - October 31 - 5:43 pm

  I like everything about this vehicle except the engine- I bought it for the overall value (safety especially-air bags/stability control, etc.) and I am very satisfied- got the V6 for more performance but its still weak and only 20mpg- Its still a good value vs. competitors.

  Late Bloomer! Good Vehicle! - 2006 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Dean - October 20 - 2:50 am

  I was looking at cargo space when I bought it new. The 2.0 L 4cyl 4WD Man. Transmission was not exactly what I wanted at first. The vehicle was really underpowered when new. I changed the oil with full synthetic & changed the air filter waiting for some change in power. At 25k miles, the engine started to change for the better. It loosened up and had enough power to get on the freeway and pull a trailer. My friends & I are impressed. I really enjoy driving it now and use it daily. The Dealer Shop has been good at checking it out and supplying parts. I like to work on it myself changing the oil & perform light maintenance checks. Friends with other SUVs like mine for its size and performance.
