2016 Tucson had 41,000 recalls due to transmission issues. It was a software fix. I took my 2017 sport in to dealer a few times (dealer very helpful) for slow or no acceleration & rattling sound in engine. They determined new transmission was needed (@5,500 mi). I have a loner provided by dealer. I hope the new trany solves issues? I like my car, very pleased in general. Fingers crossed. 1 year later: I really like the tucson sport. But I am still having on going issues such as: unreliable acceleration, engine makes a WHIRRING sound. I have 11,000 miles now and would not drive a long distance, as I feel car is unreliable.

Look for a car to replace my 2001 Mazda Tribute. The Hyundai Tucson Sport does the job. While I have only had it for 2 weeks I am enjoying it. The seating is comfortable even for my 6' 2" frame. Visibility is good and the ride is great. Just filled it up and got 24 mpg driving in town. I love the kick it has with the Turbo engine. Rear seating is comfortable and the cargo space meets my needs. The instrument panel and displays are well layed out and very easy to use. The only down side is it hesitates at times when turning at an intersection after coming to a stop. I can't quite understand it but if it continues I'll take it to the dealership. If you want a small SUV I recommend this one.
Suprisingly good performance from a 1.6T

This is my mom's car I borrowed it a couple of times for a road trip. I was pretty skeptical about Hyundai(I remember the old low quality cars) but pleasantly surpised by the Tuscon. The pros: good acceleration, shifting in manual mode is slick, the cloth seats are comfortable(rear seat recline!), Handles pretty well, the radio is nice and pairing phones are easy. The Cons: Gearbox is finicky at low speeds(like a tractor trailer), Mazda cx5 has better interior desing/quality, keyless start(thats just my personal gripe)

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.
