Sorry Hyundai This is the last one!!
This is my 3rd Hyundai. XG300 - Loved it - 2004 Santa Fe - Loved it - 2017 Tucson - Hate it!! There are many things that I don't like but the main one is the DCT transmission (Dual Clutch Transmission). It jerks every time you accelerate. I have talked to service reps about this and they just say that's the way they are making them now. It holds back on acceleration at higher speeds. If I go from braking to accelerating the car hesitates before accelerating. I was told this is the computer "it gets confused" when you brake and accelerate to quickly. It nearly go me broadsided due to the fact I had to stop short from getting hit in a circle and it would not move right away after that. I floored it and it still didn't move. I not only could have gotten broadsided but I could have been rear-ended or worse. I guess the computer was confused!! I don't want a computer having control of driving my car. The wheels lock up every time I hit the brake on a wet road - not snowy or icy - wet. I have skidded through stop signs on occasion because the wheels lock up. The headlights aren't bright enough. There are no fog lights. The inside of the windshield fogs up all the time, also the side windows fog up. The outside mirrors never clear. The air flow inside the car changes all by itself. I put it on inside air and it changes back to outside air. Any questions??

acceleration
worse crossover I have ever owned! I traded it in within the same year I purchased it 2017. I literally had to wait to make sure both lanes were clear before entering traffic my gas peddle hit the floor with no acceleration what so ever! I owned a Tuscan plus AWD 2017 the engine is a 2.0L and a 7 speed transmission which is terrible!

Dangerous don't buy!!!!
My Tuscon has been nothing short of a nightmare. From day one it has shifted very very rough, almost stalls out in traffic, and fails to accelerate from a stop. I have almost been hit 3 times due to these malfunctions. All of these are due to a design flaw in the dual clutch system. Hyundai even has a recall TSB (technical service bulletin) out to all of it's dealers regarding these safety issues, yet they deny it. But their service managers freely acknowledge all of these problems the 4 times I have taken it in for them. They say they hear these same complaints over and over again about the Tuscon. If you Google search Hyundai Tuscon dual clutch problems, you will find thousands of the same complaints. This is obviously a dangerous vehicle according to their own tsb.

I love my car!
This car is beautiful. There is plenty of room for 5 adults and plenty of leg room. The console is beautiful and easy to set up. The only drawback would be that there is not much room in the very back trunk area. Other than that I highly recommend this car.

Tucson: Intro to SUV
My true love is for a sports car... age and arthritis sent me to a sedan... retiring and moving to a rural area with more severe winters prompted me to an SUV with all wheel drive. The Tucson is the third Hyundai I've owned, but my first SUV, so I opted to lease for two years to test the SUV waters. I was not disappointed. (And as I write this, my lease has ended, and I am trading the 2017 Tucson for a 2019 Santa Fe, as I am looking for more cargo space, and a heftier SUV-"trucky" feel.) There is nothing negative I have to comment about the Tucson. It is a well built, generously appointed (Ultimate package) small SUV, and has served well for the driving I now do. Occasionally, when visiting my kids/grandkids, I would have appreciated a bit more cargo capacity, but for my usual local driving, it was a comfortable and more than adequate vehicle. The all wheel drive feature was absolutely necessary for winter driving, and I had no issues in navigating our local roads or, most important, getting up the incline to leave my driveway! The features on the 2017 Tucson Ultimate package far exceed those found on comparable vehicles of other makes in the same price range. I opted to lease this vehicle as I was unsure if I liked having an SUV. As it turned out, it was more than all right, and I am going for my second SUV lease, as previously noted. I have been a Hyundai owner since 2003, and am satisfied with the vehicle quality vs price, and note that Hyundai overall quality standards have appreciably risen since 2003 (first Hyundai was a 2004 XG350, traded for a 2007 Azera Ltd, needed All/4 wheel drive, but loved that car!) Overall, the Tucson is a terrific small SUV - dependable, comfortable, and reasonably priced.
