Used 2005 Hyundai Tucson GLS Fwd 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
I love it!
I absolutely love this car! I bought it almost two years ago and I can't wait to upgrade and get the new Tuscon! The design is sleek and the size is perfect for a family of 4, with a lot of storage space in the back. I've only had to complete basic maintenance. The interior design isn't a 10, but it serves it's purpose. My mother in law drove my car (she travels a lot and gets rental cars fairly often) and she loves my car compared to many others that she's driven.
Best Mid-size SUV out there
It is fun and drives very well. The suspension is great and it handles better on curves than other SUV's I've driven. The engine is smooth runing and the automatic shifts VERY smoothly. My only complaint is wind noise at 55 MPH. It could be a little quieter.The sound system is great! And best of all, the seats are comfortable. I'd have no trouble recommending this car to anyone who is unsure about buying a model in its first year on the market.

Not so manly??
Ok, so I have been dogged out for buying a NOT SO MANLY vehicle. I don't need to put the manly in the vehicle, I have enough of my own. ha ha ha. I used my manly brain with this purchase and my brain muscles flexed well. This has been a smart buy. Good performance, excellent design inside and out, and a pretty smooth looking vehicle as well. It certainly doesn't hurt to have a great warranty too so I don't have to flex my bank account muscles.
Poor resale /Trade-in value
I love my Tuscon, but having a few problems, when you go through standing water you lose power steering and a battery light comes on. Scared I will lose control. Also off and on the power locks will not work have to unlock each door manually.
SUV that drives like a car
This vehicle is far superior to my RAV 4 except for one thing - gas mileage. doing all city I get 17mpg and during the best possible driving conditions I only get about 21.8. That was a huge disappointment to me. It is a smooth ride, fun to drive, and feels great. Too much plastic in the interior but still well worth getting. Except for the mileage and now at over $3/gl that is a big deal, it is a great little car.
