Saved his life

Review

It saved my 16 years old life when an 18 wheel truck ran through a red light at about 55 mph and hit him at front on driver's side. He walked away thank God with no injuries (as we can tell) but a bump and bruise on his head. Car is probably totalled but it saved his life. Thanks.

Took a chance on a Tuscon

Review

I bought the Tuscon over a Honda CRV because it was almost $3000 less and it provided a smoother ride and was conquerly equipped. The seats collapse all the way down whereas in the Honda they remained bend up slightly when folded down. My only disappointment is the fuel consumption, rounding out at 24mpg and the low HP at 173. These are two big sacrifices to make in buying the six cylinder. Otherwise the vehicle is quite nice.

Favorite Features

Rear seats as well as passenger seat reclines forward fully flat.

Suggested Improvements

Better fuel economy and more HP is a must for the Engineers at Hyundai to consider on future models.

Far superior value to Toyota or Honda

Review

After extensive research & lots of hoofing it on foot in car lots, & many test drives the Tucson rose to the top like cream. The Honda CR-V is ugly & uncomfortable, the RAV-4 was *way* overpriced & lacked features we wanted & the Toyota dealers were arrogant beyond belief. As soon as we drove the Tucson, it was obvious. Super quality build, all the features one could ever need (Even in the bottom of the line GL trim we purchased), & most importantly, safety features beyond compare. Throw in the warranty & it is a no brainier. I find it hard to believe anyone would buy an RAV-4, which is overpriced to start then the dealer wants list price. Yeah right, I'll take my Hyundai thank you.

Favorite Features

Outstanding warranty (60K bumper- bumper, 100K power train), all the safety features you could want (standard, side impact and head air bags, anti-lock brakes, Electronic Stability Control). Excellent build quality. 4cyl has adequate power for tooling around. Reclining rear seats were huge for us.

Suggested Improvements

Perhaps better mileage - Getting 25.1 with mixed driving. Cruise control seems backward. I am concerned about the door frame covering. Rather than paint it is a decal. Only other thing I can of is long term reliability and resale. Based on our experience so far, both should be outstanding.

2006 Tuscon

Review

We bought a five speed Tuscon for it's 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; it's 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. It's so easy to keep clean and has lots of wonderful little features that you wouldn't expect for the price!

Review

I have found that you feel every bump in the road. I did not realize this when I purchased it. It is a very nice vehicle to own other than that.

Favorite Features

I like the feeling of security with eight air-bags.

Suggested Improvements

Change suspension - too tight.

Great car for a great price!

Review

Watch out Toyota and Honda! Hyundai makes a quality vehicle for an unbeatable price. I got ALL the options on the Tuscon -- leather, sunroof, etc. -- for thousands less than a similarly equipped Rav4 or CRV. Plus, the sporty design of the car makes it look more like a luxury SUV than the typical clunky and square SUVs. I have gotten numerous compliments on this great car. You can't beat the price, warranty and quality of a Hyundai!

Favorite Features

The great design is what really sold me on this car From looking fairly small on the outside, it feels SO roomy and comfortable on the inside. Smart little innovations like door cup holders, luggage hooks and console design make this vehicle a cut above the rest.

Suggested Improvements

I guess I am still gettng used to the gas mileage... it's is slightly less than my old compact sedan but I have read that it improves with driving. No complaints here!
