The great car people don't know about.
This car rides like a dream, easy on the body and smooth like a car. It gets much better gas mileage that the EPA number. It has all the extras as standard equipment and is a great small SUV for the money.
Excellent
This is my first new car, and I love it. I started looking at the Santa Fe, but then I saw the Tuscon and I loved it. It drives smooth, great on gas and is a pleasure to own. If you are looking for a compact SUV this is it!

Great except, is gas mileage overstated?
I enjoy the drive experience. The vehicle feels high quality and well put together. I like the relatively short vehicle length with the small turning radius making it easy to park, maneuver, and fit in the garage. I like everthing except the gas mileage. I got 15.5 mpg in my day to day city driving and 18 mpg on my combined city highway. I saw some write-ups stating that city mileage should be 20 minimum and others saying it should be 19 minimum (my window sticker). I must admit I really enjoy the vehicle but if the window sticker would have stated 15 mpg city, I would not have purchased it. I have owned the vehicle for 3 weeks and have put about ~650 miles on it. (GLS 4WD 2.7L).
fun so far
This car has been fun to drive in the short time I have owned it. My only complaint is the rather mediocre gas mileage. A little more oomph on takeoff would also be nice, but it is very comfortable, handles well, looks great, and is priced right.
DEFECT
I enjoy driving this truck, it's fun, looks good, but in 4 months of owing I had to get towed in because a hose under the hood stopped it from moving. This hose melted and twice came loose causing the truck to stall or not move forward. 3rd time it's been "fixed". I've been given a loaner vehicle each time, but I really want my truck to work well - I don't want a defect 2005 truck. It could be roomier, better on gas for city driving. Mp3 system is nice but no one at dealer could not explain how to use it. I like having a cassette and CD player. A lot of great standards for a great price.
