  Roller coaster ride / Unsafe to drive - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Charley - December 19 - 2:30 am

  1. During the week of April 1, I discovered the car was producing a bumpy ruff, roller coaster ride; tossing me up and down, back and forth and side to side. The seat was not absorbing the shock nor was it adjusting for my comfort. Then came the shocker: the cars right back wheel seemed to slide to the right, bumped, then righted itself. I was instantly knocked to the right and then back to center. This action takes less than a second and seems to happen on an uneven indentation, ridge or something in the road. This happens out of the blue and I do not feel safe. I notified Robert Lawson of my unhappiness with the seat and the ruff ride.

  My car is just great - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Georgina - February 20 - 12:00 pm

  I just got my Tucson a few days ago, but I love it. It is affordable, has a smooth ride and is very, very spacious on the inside. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a SUV but cannot afford to get a Benz, BMW or Cadillac. So get one and enjoy it....

  Great vehicle - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By DeerJohn - July 11 - 8:26 am

  When I decided I no longer needed a pickup, I looked at RAV4 and CRV, but chose the Hyundai because of price and warranty. I no longer consider American-made cars. The Tucson is roomy, comfortable, handles well, and has great visibility. The 4c engine seems noisy and underpowered to me compared to my wifes 4c Accord, but I no longer need those features. I did expect better gas mileage than 24 mpg, but that may improve. One bad feature is the light-colored interior, which is hard to keep clean. Did not think of that when I bought. I always felt that home carpets and car interiors should be a dark color, as people tend to walk on them. Seatcovers and mats help.

  Not a bad ride - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON

  As much legroom as a Ford Explorer but much better fuel economy...

  I love this car! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Lisa1970 - December 16 - 10:23 pm

  Ive been wanting an SUV for 5 years and been planning on buying one for the past year. I did a LOT of research. The Tucson Limited has not disappointed me. Ive almost hit 3000 miles on it after owning it less than 2 months. Its been on several day long road trips and did wonderful. My only real complaint is one I already knew about and applies to any SUV and that is the mileage. Im averaging about 20mpg which is a combo of hwy/city driving. On the interstate it averages about 23mpg. I actually expected it to do less so Im pleased. I am really enjoying driving this car. It rides smooth. Has good acceleration. Mine is fully loaded.

  New owner - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By longbeachjohn - October 8 - 3:40 pm

  Drove a 6cyl then a 4 cyl and there was very little difference in performance. Car has good space inside, controls and features great. I appreciate the safety stuff like traction and stability control and all the airbags. First weekend cruise got 24+ mpg, mixed bag intown and freeway at 75+. Will update in the future. Like to see more cubby holes for things like cel phone.

  Comfort & Intelligent Interior - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Country Girl - May 25 - 10:50 pm

  Quality interior & creature comforts sold me on this as well as a solid ride, not jittery like the Honda. Very well thought out! Front seat folds flat, several plugs for accessories such as dvd player, plenty of cubby holes, 6 cup holders, storage nets on back of both front seats. 4 adjustments for driver seat-very comfortable for a bad back. Great ride & handles nicely with tight turning radius. High quality materials. Very quiet & little windnoise. Very deceiving on power, feels like it is slower than it really is, power is adequate, about the same as a Ford Ranger & does great on the hills with it smooth shifting tranny. Can manual shift. Excellent mileage, 27 mpg in town.

  I Love this ride!! - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By karin - May 2 - 6:20 am

  Although I have had it for a few weeks I love this ride! My previous relationship was a Hyundai (Elantra) and that alone convinced me that this was a firm purchase and solid vehicle. I love the way it handles and the space on the inside. Any compact car owner could transition comfortably into this vehicle. I am trying to convince my husband to get the Santa Fe which is the 2nd gen of the Tucson. I am totally in love with this vehicle!!

  Comfy but not practical - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By nomer - February 21 - 8:23 pm

  Bought this 10 months ago and am looking to trade it in even though I know I will take a loss. has tons of cargo space and leg room, but the motor works too hard. Doesnt feel like it shifts properly. Not very darty--takes a long time to accelerate. Gas mileage for me has been consistently at 18 miles and less. I have never gotten even 19 mile per gallon as stated. 14 gallon tank is small--feels like I am always at the gas station. radio and amenities are positioned well for a comfy ride. Great heat and A?C but is hard to hear radio over it--not strong speakers

  Im sold on Hyundai - 2008 Hyundai TUCSON
  By JerZee - January 9 - 7:10 am

  Great car, great price, room galore. Quite, solid ride. My insurance went down $240 a year because of the safety features. Traded in my 2007 Patriot with no regrets. Tucson has larger storage area, more comfortable seats and sits higher. Very good mileage for this type of vehicle in a 4 cyl. A 4x4 will use more gas. 6 cyl,not worth the trade off for the difference in horsepower and mileage. Trailer hitch can tow small loads from the home centers. It is a heavy vehicle, with the front wheel drive, 4 wheel isnt needed if youre not an offroader. Quieter then the Rav4. Switched to synthetic oil increased mileage slightly. Still breaking in average about 24.4 mpg on hwy.
