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!!
Not a bad ride

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

What I liked about this compact crossover was the overall style (outside and in), the simple controls and A/C, the price, the medium gray interior which is hard to find now), the decent ride when first purchased, the best gear shifter ever seen, front air vents that could be aimed at your knees (also rare to find now since most cars have them too high on the dashboard), the perfectly placed dual cup holders between the shifter and middle arm rest, actual cup holders in the doors by the pockets (front and back), and a windshield that was easy to clean without using a step stool. As the tires lost tread, the ride got harsher. The cargo was on the small side so this wasn't made for long family trips. It also had a lot of road noise and would start to lean while cornering on the highway on sharp turns. One scary note though! When driving above 72 Mph, the steering wheel would get really light (not good at all) and frequent front wheel alignments on long drives (which was not done correctly at a Las Vegas, Nevada Hyundai Dealership and was kept for 3 hours wasting my vacation time). Also no backup monitor was ever offered (even as an option) and it really needed one! In the hot summer sun, the cloth door inserts would come loose (almost as if it was cheaply glued on by the factory) but would get tight again when the temperature cooled down. This vehicle also has a tendency to kick itself out of cruise control when going up steep hills on the highway and even worse, the dealership said it was normal (my current 2012 Nissan Murano never did that) and at that time I almost got rear ended by another vehicle who was following to close! My last complaint is that if you're over 5 foot, 8 inches you're going to hit your head at least every other day when you get into this car. I also didn't like to see so much of the hood (with bright oncoming headlights bouncing off and hitting my eyes at night). The rear cargo door that you had to use both hands to open. Bottom line-this is a city car at best with just adequate V6 power and it was intended to be more of a single person's car and I wouldn't suggest towing or carrying a lot of heavy stuff with it either!!

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.
Just got but love it !!!!

I just got my Tuscon and love it so far. I have heard complaints about the mileage, but my only problem I have with that is, I want to drive mine everywhere, even if I have no where to go, because it is very nice to drive so if i am using more gas it is because I am driving more.
