Great warranty and is easy to handle.
I love my Tucson. It is comfortable, reliable and I get great gas mileage. It has a great warranty and I love my Staten Island dealer.

This vehicle does not have good gas mileage.
Love the overall appearance, love that it is all automatic, love that stereo adjustment is in the steering wheel, love the room, love the heated seats.. Dislike that there is no read for outside temperature and not push button start..

Silver Tucson SUV drives great and is spacious.
There have been no problems with my car so far. The comfort of this car is amazing it drives so smooth. This car has heated seats to heat up the leather in the cold snowy winter. I love this car one of the best I have purchased out of the seven cars I have owned prior to this. The inside is very spacious and roomy great for long family vacation road trips.

A fine car for the price.
It is a fine car which gets good gas mileage is easy to drive and handles quite good. Is very comfortable and has plenty of space for suitcases and other items to take on vacation. It also has good interior which is easy to keep clean. The car operates well in bad weather.

It sits up higher than my last vehicle did, which makes it easier for me to get out of parking spaces since so many people have taller cars now. I also love having a backup camera. It's comfortable to sit in, and it handles better than my old sedan did!
It's comfortable and easy to drive, while filled with lots of fun extras.

The Hyundai Tucson is the perfect size for me and my dog to explore the world.
I love the size of my Tucson. The trunk is a little small for packing for long trips, but it is perfect for the day to day, and it is easy to park! I use my Tucson to haul my kayak, go camping where the roads are dirt at best, and for errands around the city.

Love this truck! You will not be disappointed.
So far I have no problem with this vehicle. We love it. Plenty space for the family and plenty of room in the trunk for groceries etc. I purchased this truck in 2015 and I am still in love with it. Still good miles on it and run like it is still brand new.

2015 limited Tucson review.
The value depreciated quickly causing it difficult to purchase a new vehicle. The vehicle overall is a great car for overall use. I use it daily for work and for road trips. The vehicle has plenty of room and interior built well. Leather interior is thick and has worn well.

Your engine. If you have engine issues you'll have a longtime issue.
It is decent on gas. It is just to crammed for me and has some odd sounds coming from the car a times.
accountCircle Madison B
Problems but overall reliable.
The performance of my car is not great and has issues frequently. It might be because it is an old model but it could be because of the model itself. The features are mostly fine and my car is overall very reliable. My car is also relatively comfortable.

Hyundai brakes are not good. Have a mechanic check out car before purchasing it.
I bought the car used. It only had 17000 miles on it. I have had to have the back brakes replaced. And a few weeks ago the front brakes and Calipers. The car has 24000 miles on it both front and back brakes should have lasted longer. I contacted Hyundai they couldn't help me because I did not take it to a Hyundai dealership. I feel like I got a lemon.

My 2015 Tucson is a good driving car perfect for a retired person like myself.
My tucson is reliable and a comfortable driving car. It has a limited hauling space but by design. Gas mileage pretty good. It has good pickup for a 4 cylinder. The back seat is a little short on leg room but a good space for children. It does not have temperature gage which I really depend on. The seat belts may have been replaced but front seat belts fall out when use is finished.
accountCircle Deb A
I love the fact that it has Bluetooth. It does run very well for the miles.
I like my car but I wish I had shopped around for a bigger selection. The car has been good to me not many problems except it keeps blowing headlights. I have over 100,000 miles on it and have just put general maintenance over the last few years. Right now I have a wheel bearing to that needs to be replaced.
accountCircle Brittany B
Adequate vehicle: has a great look (Interior/exterior), but not outstanding.
My Hyundai Tucson is a moderate vehicle. I love the look both internally and externally, however, I have had significant issues. These issues may relate to the past owner but they include: water leaking in from the outside through the hood, washer fluid leaks out of the front but not to the back, the windshield wiper switch is backwards to other cars I have had. It does have a very spacious interior and I really like the dash features, organization and colors.

Wonderful small sized SUV.
The performance of this car has been wonderful and very reliable. It is a smaller sized SUV which is perfect for me for running errands. The back seats fold down which provide a spacious trunk for carrying larger loads. There have only been two problems I have ever had with this car. One, a cap that sits under the gear shift became rotted (I am not sure how) which made the gear shift sticky. The problem was easily and inexpensively fixed. The second issue I have had is with the GPS or navigation not updating. The navigation system is not intuitive and needs to be updated at the dealership. I find myself using my phone more often than the navi. Other than that, I have zero complaints about the car. Runs wonderful when taken care of with regular maintenance.

Great for off road and great space for everything I need.
No problems but it has eco button on it and makes my gas mileage works better and I can go longer without using so much. The best car I have ever gotten. Also great space for anything I can put in there especially my mini bike I even go off road from time to time.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Shamekia C.

It's more spacious than my previous car there is a rack on top and a hitch on the back that came with the car. The Rear view camera is nice too. I also like the features in the car. The radio holds a lot of stations satellite radio is available for this vehicle.

likeFilled Amanda D.

I like the size of my SUV. It is perfect for a single person or small family of four. It has decent room in the back and trunk area. The back seats can be let down for additional space. I love the features on the driver side. It has adjustments for your back and height.

likeFilled Kasey D.

It is the perfect size. It is big enough to drive through the snow and has plenty of storage and space, without being too large. The gas mileage is really good, about 23 miles per gallon. I really like the color, I have black which I think is the best color for this car. It drives very smooth and is very easy to drive. The leather material of the seats make it very easy to clean especially because my dog likes to go on car rides and she sheds a lot.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Shamekia C.

With all those nice things in the car there is no push start which would be nice for a 2005 I also wish there were more connections for charging devices for passengers. There is only really ports for the driver I also wish that there was a button that you can push to close the trunk. And I still haven't found the button to open the trunk from the inside of the car.

dislikeFilled Amanda D.

I wish it had the same features on the passenger side. Other than that, I am quite satisfied with it. I got it in black which is always a good color. Midsize SUV. If other colors were available, I may have chosen a different one.

dislikeFilled Kasey D.

It is very bad with accelerating. Going up hills or accelerating after a turn are definitely a struggle. I do have to fill up the tires a lot but I don't really have to bring it in for maintenance a lot.
