I went to the dealer with the intention on buying a Hyundai Value, Ruby Red after reading all of the Edmunds reports this car had everything I wanted, almost. During the test drive right off the 1.6 engine turned me off, with the noise and hesitation. I drove a ruby red sport awd and didn't like like it all, walked away. I wet back the next day and requested the dealer to find a fwd ruby red 2.4 eng. sport. They found a gemstone red fwd which i purchased. I like the way it drives, the quietness, comfort of the seats, elect drivers seat. The main thing that I am very irritated with is the radio, it has the cheapest sound system that I have ever listened to in a vehicle, very cheap sounding, low power range on picking up close stations, very disappointed in the radio. The cover over the AC/HEAT/HEAT info panel is very dark tinted and unable to read under normal conditions. Somewhere a long the way I lost it and bought the sport instead of the Value which was what I went to buy and missed out on a much better car. I don't like the sound system at all, very sorry, useless. I have driven the car fo 1yr. 6000 mi. Eng. is powerful' runs well on the freeway at reasonable rpm, but around town I have noticed it to be a little noisy on start up. I plan to change out the radio soon. Two oil changes without adding oil in between. Hyundai has yet to come up with a paint touch kit for the car paint color. Overall I like driving the tucson sport. Highway mileage 32 city 24.Update, I have had the car just over 2yrs. I love to drive the car. For quick results I drive in Sport but, normally I use the ECO option with very little difference in gas mi. The ride on the free way is very good, 75-80 is normal with me. After having to slow down it quickly reaches normal speed. Still like it very much. I have had no problems at all. Can’t change out radio, probably fine for people without hearing loss. Love the little car the more I drive it. It’s quick and Advils, turns sharp. Fun to drive, not a single problem so far.

Make sure you are getting all the technology that you want. I bought a CPO model and was expecting more but was a base model and I did not ask enough questions. I test drove the Tucson but found with further driving the drivers seat is too low my height and must use a seat cushion.

4WD TUSCAN LIMITED

This is my second Tuscan . My first was a 2014 and it broke my heart to give it up. I have had 4 Runners prior and sold my last one in the gas crunch and bought a Jetta. Six months later I sold that. Now this is not normal for me, but my life style demanded more room. In the Jetta I would have plants in front/back/truck areas - it just did not work for a gardener at heart. Well I knew I wanted back into an SUV and was on my way home from the grocery store and stopped to get a brochure. My groceries had to be moved to my new Tuscan Limited. I commute over an hour each way to work so in 4 years there were 60,000 miles on it. I started in December 2017 thinking about replacing it. At that time I would only look at the Tuscan Limited. Well my mechanic told me it would go for an easy 100,000 miles so happily I put off buying another car. Then July rolls around - car is still running great - not one problem between March 2014 and July 2018 and I loved my car. It was the end of month and the new 2019's were due to come out in a couple months. This was the time to deal or wait another year. So one Saturday with my research on the Honda CSV and Tuscan Limited I struck out to look. You know what is sitting in my garage now? The Tuscan Limited 4WD - and I am in love all over again. In the four years between the two cars so much more safety has been added plus little things like a heated steering wheel - I know, but those winters can be cold. My seats have a cooling thing for Texas summers even! My son brought up all of the SUVs in the same size and basic design - Hyundai Tuscan Limited was still my pick. I talked to a man who had a REALLY old Tuscan - he was well over the 100,000 mile mark and was still in love with his car. Of course being a smart man he offered to trade me and was willing to let me continue to make the payments. I really had to think about it for one second and turned him down. The next week what was sitting in the parking lot at work - he had also bought a new Tuscan Limited - HOWEVER he told me he still had his old one. Once he told his wife about all the advancements she decided a new one was for them also.

Unsafe 2018 Tucson

This car suddenly loses all power on the highway. It completely shuts itself off (or loses all power) forcing you to get it off to side of road. A few minutes later power comes back on by itself. Huge safety issue!! It also will not start some mornings. Car is kept outside. Few minutes later it will start. We replaced car fob batteries. Have taken in to dealer after each issue. They cannot find anything wrong. Do not buy this car. If you are driving on highway and it suddenly loses all electrical power it could cause an accident.
Disappointed

I thought that buying a Hyundai Tucson would provide me with a better driving experience that it has. I bought a 2018 model back in May of 2018. First of all the reverse camera is extremely low quality. It is blurry at best during daytime and at nighttime practically unusable. The Android Auto keeps disconnecting from my phone. The climate control has a mind of it's own and not very consistent. It much harder on gas than I expected. I have the 1.6 Turbo model. It has a decent ride. The panoramic sunroof is nice. The chances of buying another Hyundai are next to nil.
