BAD CHOICE

Bought this car for fuel economy. Did not get it. 14 local and 16 highway, if I'm lucky. No pickup whatsoever. Dealer took it in 4 times and claims there is nothing wrong with it. If this is running as they say it should, don't waste your money. You can get a much larger, better built vehicle and get the same or better mileage out of it. I am so sorry I bought this vehicle

I have had my new Tucson for about 2 weeks as of this writing. I drive an average of 55 miles a day mixed city and highway. I have been on a 900 mile round trip(to Gettysburg) with tucson. All of the "professional" reviews I read didnt seem to feel the tucson V-6 has enough power. I disagree. Even with both rear seats down and the cargo space full, with two adults up front and the A/C on- I never felt that I didnt have enough power to get on the highway safely. Its no sports car by any means but it is zippy enough to be a fun drive. My only complaint would be that I wish the steering wheel had a little bigger range of tilt and would telescope as I just cant get 100% comfortable

Is it really an SUV?

First time I test drove it, I couldn't believe it was an SUV! It handled great! I had to watch my foot on the accelerator, too. Very responsive. And all the standard features. It seemed too good to be true.

Hyundai Tucson: The Most Bang for the $

This vehicle is a far better deal than any of its competition (e.g., Ford Escape; Honda CRV and Element; Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander) because of all of its standard safety and driveline features, many of which are not even offered as options by the competition. Try to build a Honda CRV or RAV4 that has all (or even most) of the standard features of the Tucson and you are looking at a purchase price of at least $5,000 more! I know: I priced the three of them at local dealerships. The second reason why I love this vehicle is the very high quality of its construction. All of the fitments are like those in a Lexus: they click and thunk with the right sounds, and look great, too.
