Don't get a Tucson!

If you are considering a Tucson, do the research. If you are considering moving down from a V6 (I was in a '14 Rogue before) to a 4 cyl, don't do it. You lose so much pep. I thought that the Sport drive feature on the Tucson, would be sufficient and while it works, it's not great. I have thoroughly disappointed in the Tucson and have literally been counting down the months to the time when I can get rid of it! The front passenger seat is not height adjustable, so if you sit in it, you are going to feel so low, as if you can't see over the dash or side door panel. I am 5'6 so it's not like I'm short. There is hardly any leg room for a tall person in that seat. As for the drivers seat, when I do raise it high and need to look to the right, my rear view mirror is in the way, so I have to dip my head to make sure my view is clear. As for the heater - HORRIBLE! This car never seems to heat up! I let it run 20 min before leaving in temps ranging from 10 degrees all the way up to 40 and it still takes more than 20 minutes to heat. I drove almost 5 miles the other day, after letting it heat for 15 min and only after those 15 minutes and 5 miles, did it finally start to get warm. It never does get HOT. This car constantly has to have the defrosters on high, otherwise, the car fogs up when in rainy, snowy or cold conditions. This has been a complete nuisance because I like to have the air on my feet when its cold and I can only keep the floor feature on temporarily before the windows fog up. Also, the A/C isn't great. It doesn't get very cold in the hot summer and intermittently shoots out a colder than average blast. This was the first I bought a black car and never again will I - I'm not sure if it's the color or the cheap paint used on the exterior because it shows EVERY little scratch. As for reliability, the car is fine and I am grateful I'm in a car that is new and hasn't presented any functionally issues that has left me stranded. Overall, I really hate the Tucson and I don't use the "hate" word very often. I have 2 years left on my leave and will be getting out of this vehicle, never to return. I will be returning to Nissan who makes a much higher quality car.

I purchased this vehicle less than 3 weeks ago. The entire purchasing process was the easiest I have experienced. The dealership, (Ralph Thayer Hyundai-Livonia, MI), and my salesperson, Don, were terrific. I knew the trim and preferred color, Sedona Sunset. Don found it the next day, and I took delivery a couple days later. This is the third Hyundai I have owned and by far the best. I was presented with a very attractive offer, way below MSRP. A fair trade in allowance was also appreciated. It was a no hassle no haggling easy process. My salesperson gave me a detailed explanation of all the features and electronics. Dealer prep was flawless. I have put about 800 miles on the Tucson and it has been impressive so far. Interior is very comfortable, with a quiet ride. The 1.6L turbo is plenty for me, as well as the AWD. The Infinity 310 watt 8 speaker entertainment system is incredible. Apple car play is so convenient too. The many many accessories make this an amazing value.

Everything OK but power

A good car, well equipped, an excellent value for money. Unfortunately acceleration is rather poor, which is problematic- and might be dangerous- in those circumstances when you need power.

Not totally Happy!

I bought the Tucson Sport 1.6L I-4 cyl 2017 in December 2017. It had many features that I wanted. I had researched the other vehicles in the same class: CRV, RAV 4, CX-5. What Hyundai was offering as standard equipment, the other brands offered the same at an added cost. At first I was so happy with the car. It was comfortable, back-up camera, auto tailgate, keyless ignition, etc. As time went on the infotainment screen seem smaller and smaller at only 5 inches and it wasn't capable of displaying the navigation from my phone. Every time I would play reggae dancehall music the rearview mirror would vibrate so much. The clincher was the acceleration! It was very unpredictable. When making left turns I never knew if I would make it to the other side in time. That's how bad the lag time was. From a stop, it felt like the car wasn't in the proper gear. I thought I had done a thorough research prior to purchasing this car, but apparently I didn't. The dual clutch transmission was the culprit. Hyundai has been having problems with the DCT in the Tucson for the past several years. There are pending lawsuits and many complaints about this problem . After 11 months, I decided to trade in the car for a 2018 Tucson Sport 2.4L I-4 cyl. I test drove it and I loved it! I didn't feel any hesitation at all. It has the added bonus of a 7 in infotainment screen and auto climate control. Since I just bought the car yesterday, I'll wait a few months to write a review.
