  I LOVE my Hyundai!! - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By camillerrose - October 27 - 10:58 am

  Before buying my hyundai in November 2011, I tested out a few other SUVs and out of all of them I loved the Tucson! I was given a really good price and was able to do a trade-in. I love traveling, so Im always in my car. Very cozy, and I enjoy all of the accessories inside and out. There werent too many color choices when picking out the vehicle, but Im not complaining. I get compliments from everyone around town. I actually feel safe when Im driving in the car. Very good choice when changing from a sedan to SUV! Now my SUV has tinted windows, street-glow and a system, which the vehicle handles everything VERY well! Ive had the Tucson for 8.5 months and have gone about 11,500 miles

  2012 Tucson Limited FWD - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By psanning - May 10 - 3:15 pm

  Owned for 7 months, have racked up 14000 miles. As weather conditions vary in central Midwest, its handled well in snow. Safety features, quality all positives. Just returned from 3500 mile driving vacation, avgd 29.7 mpg - included interestate, local hwy and city driving. We were very pleased with performance & comfort. Suspension would be a bit better (for Arizona hwy driving--roads stink) and some road noise but not so bad as to want to trade. Yes, there are blindside issues but Ive gotten use to them & have adjusted. At purchase, very few colors available - mostly all dark - I couldnt get my 1st or 2nd color choice.

  Love It - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By adamsdad1 - January 2 - 2:08 am

  Ive owned my 2012 Tucson GLS for two months now and just love it ! It handles well..rides great..and just an all around in & out attractive vehicle. Is it the quietest..or the smoothest..or have all the bells and whistles..NO, but it didnt cost me 45,000 or more either ! The mileage is VERY close to what is stated, Im getting 21-22 around town. I have the Iris Blue and get compliments on the car all the time. I have no complaint at all. Worth the money.

  My New Vehicle - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By kimkim4 - August 13 - 7:51 pm

  The Tucson is a very stylish midsize crossover. I love the look of this vehicle, it’s still hard for me to believe it’s a Hyundai. The only downfall so far in the seating....the seat needs to be a little wider so the seatbelt wont dig into your hips.

  Great Car with a couple of annoyances. - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By drjc3 - September 11 - 8:52 pm

  6 months & 4000 miles later ... All around performance is great. Gas mileage is a bit off the stickers EPA estimate, but not by much. I wouldnt hesitate in buying another Hyundai.

  Love the car! - 2012 Hyundai TUCSON
  By timtimtim - May 15 - 2:17 am

  We purchased our 2012 Tuscon in around November of 2011. So far, we love the car. We havent had a single issue and its a great car to drive. Its not fast but it does fine getting in and out of traffic. In city driving we get 25mpg almost every tank, sadly though we get just slightly better (27-28) on the highway at about 70-75mph. The interior quality is good for the price point of the car, it looks good and everything fits well. no rattles or anything so far and were at about 15k miles.
