I have now had the vehicle for 8 months. I continue to like the car a great deal. Since that time we've had a long trip with three of us in the car. The car was comfortable for the entire trip of 10 hours each way. Actually, there were three people and a dog and everyone was comfortable the entire time. No complaints---even from the dog. This is a very comfortable ride, both in the front seat and the back seat. Gas mileage on the trip was close to 30 which was really good. Around town it's between 21-22 and that's not all that great, but it is what it is. Since I do mostly town driving this is my standard expectation. I don't have a problem with the transmission; it is a bit on the funky side. In part, I believe, it's because the new cars all seem to be 6-7 gears instead of the old 3-4 gears. The transition with the transmission is not difficult; it just takes a little time to grow accustomed to it. I have the 2.0 engine and for the most part it's fine. When challenged a bit, it is a little underpowered. Rapid acceleration is not a strength of this car at all. At times the acceleration is very sluggish. And when I put 5 people in the car, while the car ran well and did everything it was supposed to do, you can feel the strain on the engine. This isn't a big deal for me; it's usually just me or my wife and I. So, am I happy with the car? I'm delighted. I continue to be happy with my purchase. I read copious reviews of this size of SUV and watched a large number of road tests on YouTube. We own a Subaru Forester which my wife drives and is a good car; I don't find it to be particularly comfortable, but she does. So, using that as a barometer as well as test driving the Honda CRV and the Toyota RAV 4 and the Tuscon, I chose the Tuscon. It was easily the best price and I liked the car better. I didn't like the Honda very much at all. I'm sure it's a wonderful vehicle but I didn't find it to be comfortable and the price point was not what I wanted. I liked the Toyota; solid car but again, the price point was not what I was seeking. Both the Toyota and the Honda weren't as nicely equipped for the price as was the Tucson. I read the reviews and there were some criticisms of the acceleration on the 2.0 engine. My experience is that the acceleration is just fine. When I want to go, it goes and it accelerates quite nicely. The interior is comfortable and incredibly quiet. The Bluetooth works great and the sound quality is very good. I appreciate the layout of the controls; they are logical and easy to use. I've had the Tucson for a month and really like it a great deal.

This car doesn't have all the frills of the "Value" or "Limited" models, but I wasn't looking for a flagship vehicle. The ride and handling is really good. The seats are decently comfortable. The sound system is fairly good. The amenities that you get on it for a base model are nice. Even got power driver's seat. Had the car for about 1.5 months now. MPG has been about 25-26 in mixed city driving. That's better than my last vehicle, a 2010 Kia Soul. Plus, I'm living in a more hilly part of the USA now, so it seems to have better fuel economy going up and down the hills here. Plus, the 2017 model I got new has a CD player in it. The 2018 models didn't have one. Being that I have music on hundreds of CDs, this makes it nice for me if I don't have a USB stick handy to drop some tunes on. If you're not looking for lots of flash and something that will turn heads and impress friends, but want something that looks nice, drives well, and is a good value...I could definitely suggest taking a look at this vehicle.

Just so happy with my new car. The ride is so comfortable and the car handles so well. Just couldn't have found a car that had everything I want for an affordable price

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.

Horrible air conditioning

I am having trouble with the air conditioning. It blows warm air and then cool air, will now keep vehicle cool. Took it in for service, and O'Brien Hyundai said nothing is wrong. Wish I never purchased this vehicle.
