2012 Tucson Limited FWD
Owned for 7 months, have racked up 14000 miles. As weather conditions vary in central Midwest, it's handled well in snow. Safety features, quality all positives. Just returned from 3500 mile driving vacation, avg'd 29.7 mpg - included interestate, local hwy and city driving. We were very pleased with performance & comfort. Suspension would be a bit better (for Arizona hwy driving--roads stink) and some road noise but not so bad as to want to trade. Yes, there are blindside issues but I've gotten use to them & have adjusted. At purchase, very few colors available - mostly all dark - I couldn't get my 1st or 2nd color choice.
Just got the Tuscon LTD FWD today
Bought this earlier today to replace an 03 Camry. I tested this vs the base Santa Fe Sport. While the Sport was a smoother ride, it was slow and the standard options were underwhelming. Next, I drove the Tuscon LTD FWD. Even though the ride is stiffer, the little 2.4 ltr engine has plenty of get up and go. The standard features on the LTD are plentiful and useful. Options added, mats. cargo net, cargo tray, first aid kit, mudguards and wheel locks. I got the Garnet Red w/ Taupe leather int. It's a sharp looking car. I got an awesome deal on the car. Very awesome vehicle for the money in today's market. IMHO This is my 2nd 2013 Hyundai purchased with the last 30 days. I love Hyundai.

Engine blew up!
They have had problems with these motors, know about it, but have not taken any action. Our engine "blew-up" with less than 70,000 miles on it and if not for the extended warranty we purchased it would have cost us over $6,000 to replace the engine. Would never buy another as they have a problem, yet have not done anything to help the consumer. They have recalled and replaced some car engines as they have had trouble with these as well. Warning! Stay away from this company as they do not back-up their product.

Intake Manifold
I was fairly happy until 49k miles and 3 months after warranty. The runner control valve on intake is going out. Supposed to have 10 yr warranty on powertrain, but was told that mine isn't covered because it is standard emission control. I was not told when I bought it. Very unhappy now.

Bad Tires
I have 15k miles on my car and the tires are bald (3/32 on both front tires). The car is supposed to have a bumper to bumper warranty, but it doesnt cover tires. I went to the tire company (Kumho) they informed me these tires were not meant to last but they will allow me to buy much better tires and they will pay 50%. Hyundai says they are sorry I'm unhappy buy not their problem. I was given lemon tires and now I need to spend more money to replace them.
