I purchased the car in August 2015. A/C did not work properly but technician could find nothing wrong with it. After winter had NO a/c. Car was in shop for 11 days; they couldn't fix it so finally installed a new system. So far so good. Carried it in for oil change June 23, 2016. They managed to blow the cluster panel so I'm still driving (7/11/16) a used car not comparable to mine. It has now been in shop for 18 days for this repair and they have no idea when it will be ready. I'm paying a new car payment driving pretty much a wreck. Can't give it a better rating since it has been in repair 30 days so far out of the less than 11 months I've had it. It's bad points outweigh what I thought would be a great reliable selection. I contacted manufacturer and have received no response at all from hqtrs. I'm devastated! Worst auto experience I've ever had!

Update: 9/2020 car has 22,400 miles Purchased SUV in 2016 Fuel Economy - EPA rating was lower than I am getting. I am getting almost 25 to 27.5 mpg in the city depending on air conditioner use and weather. Performance - Acceleration, Braking, Road Holding, Shifting, Steering I tested all modes of performance and found none lacking in performance. Some people complain about power but I found that using the proper mode for what you want the car to do resolves all issues. Comfort - Front and Rear Seats - At first I thought the seats were a little uncomfortable (firm) but they are great once you get used to them. Getting In and out - I had no problems and did not have to use the handles at the top of the door. My friends range in height from 5'6" to over 6' and they all had no problems. Noise, Vibration, ride and comfort - The car is great I tested it over rail road tracks, uneven surfaces, pot holes. All bumps were absorbed very well. Noise was minimal compared to other more expensive SUV's. Interior - Here is where personal choice comes in. Cargo/Storage- Lets face it this is not a full size SUV but for the size it is great. I put a medium size dog kennel in it and still was able to put up one of the rear car seats. That left 1 passenger in the rear and a lot of space behind the kennel. Instrumentation - Once you get used to the different control modes it is fantastic. Interior Design - No complaints everything is easy to reach. It would be nicer if the center console was just a little bigger but I am being picky. Logic of Controls - Everything is easy to get to. If I had a suggestion it would be to move the transmission mode switch to the dash board, if it were possible to put it on the steering wheel that would make it amazing. Quality of materials - Some reviews said it had a lot of hard plastic and that is true but for me the car was fine. Safety - As far as I know everything is great. Technology - Fantastic but it depends on what you want. For me having the radio, blue tooth phone, cruise on the steering wheel is great. The blue tooth phone mode sounds great on both ends. The regular display size is also good. The sound system is good for most people again a mater of taste. USB ports are in a perfect place. Climate control on SE in manual and works as designed. Reliability - 2.0 with the regular automatic transmission - no problems shifting. I keep it in mostly in economy mode. If I shift it to sport it has a lot of pep. Dealer ship support - My dealer is ok and matches some competitor coupons. Dealer regular prices to high. Value - Fuel economy is great compared to full size SUV and other models of this size. Maintenance Cost - To early to tell, depends on were you get your car serviced, dealer expensive, I prefer local mechanic. Purchase price - Excellent when compared to other companies with the same options. Knowing how to negotiate very well can save you thousands. Warranty - Best warranty I found. I also purchased the Portfolio warranty that turned it into a 10 year/100,000 warranty for almost everything but wear and tear items because I will be having the car for at least that long (my last car had 174,000 on it and was 16 years old, had only 2 repairs a water and fuel pump in the last year (they do not make them like that anymore). Final Thoughts: Most of my trips are short and around town with my dog in a crate this car works great for that purpose. I thought I would miss my Ford Explorer but I don't. I found I actually prefer cloth over leather seats in the hot and cold. I do not regret this purchase. Repairs/recalls: In the first year I had an alarm horn replaced. In the 2nd year and 3rd year a manufacturers recall was done when I did an oil changed. The recall did not effect my cars operation.

I traded a 2008 Sante Fe for this vehicle. I wanted one that was just a little smaller and had the safety feature of backup camera and hands free talking. This suv has 3 drive modes: regular, eco and sport. It drives great and the seats are very comfortable. I love the automatic day driving lights and the fact that I can open the trunk without unlocking the whole car.

Renting it and loving it!

I am currently renting this vehicle and it has been almost perfect. Since it's a rental, it's the base version, without the turbo or the dual clutch transmission. Just the 2.0L engine and the 6 speed automatic. The weaker engine struggles just a bit in some situations, but I love this car so much, I don't mind. The engine is perfectly fine under normal circumstances, but load the car up with people and stuff and go up an incline and it will feel over-taxed. The steering and handling on this thing is just plain fun. I would not have thought that a simple people mover CUV would be so much fun to drive, but it is. Now, it's not a sports car, and it does start to feel a bit unstable at very high freeway speeds (over 90 mph - which traffic sometimes gets to on our Southern California freeways). Emergency maneuvers at highway speeds would probably be a bad idea (my normal car is a Mercedes sedan that is stable at just about any speed). The Tucson is also quite comfortable and roomy, both front and back. The cargo area is a very decent size, but it feels a bit smaller than the official figures. (Actually, I think the way cargo space is calculated gives an unfair advantage to SUV's and CUV's as compared to sedans). The gauges and infotainment features are very good, very informative, and very easy to use, especially considering that this is a base model. Overall, I love this car and can see myself buying it.

Went from always having a car to the Tuscon Sport

Okay, so I never had an SUV before and never planned on it, but when my lease was expiring on my Sonata it was time to look. The Tuscon Sport looked so great and sporty I had to give it a try. The heated seats and the way the seat hugs you is so comfortable! I tried the Sante Fe, but the Tuscon seat comfort was much better to me. The ride is quiet and pretty smooth considering I live where there aren't very great kept streets. I drive mostly in ECO mode and have turned it off and noticed the huge difference in power, I have also played with the manual shift and might experience some more as I can drive a manual. Brakes work great and I love the back up camera and was surprised when it warned me a car was coming up the street and not to mention I love the lane change indicator for the blind spots. So now I'll never go back to a car again... And I love Hyundai as their warranty is to die for....I have owned a 2003 Elantra, then the 2012 Sonata, but the Tuscon by far the best. I didn't even bother looking at other SUV's, I'm glad I read the other reviews about the other SUV's out there..confirmed to me I did not make a mistake in buying my Tuscon. My SUV gets great compliments...1) mailman was like wow that has a really great trim line, 2) dealership the person installing my remote start said what a beautiful vehicle, 3) my friend was wowed by the appearance....was not expecting the first 2 at all and never had anyone say anything about my Sonata. So go for it, if thinking of buying....I love mine!
