Fuel guzzler

Love it but chews through fuel, bigtime. 0therwise great shopping car, family car, touring car. But not economical. Might have to sell it on, which I don’t want to do.

Super dependable, great gas mileage, sporty look.

Super dependable, great gas mileage, sporty look. It goes well beyond the 100k warranty, I am at 133k. I recently changed a/c compressor. Definitely a great investment.

SAFE, RELIABLE and ROOMY

I have owned GMC's, Nissans and a number of other vehicles...This has by far been the most reliable and runs the greatest for the money.. Stylish, comfortable and runs tight...never any mechanical problems!

Uber tested...this car is a warrior!

Uber tested...this car is a warrior! I put it through some of the most grueling conditions in all kinds of weather including deep snow and put a lot of miles on it every night. The car has NEVER let me or my customers down...love this car!

Super reliable small SUV

I've owned a 2009 2.0 lt 5 speed manual Hyundai Tucson since new. It had a small vibration in 3rd gear the day I drove it out of the dealership....it was a fault with this model which was raised at a Hyundai conference that year, but the car has been great otherwise. I've now got 225,000 km on the clock and I'm sure it has many more to go. I've never had an oil leak with the car & it's been super reliable.

Bad experience but love our Tucson !!!

when we had 82000 klm. on our car a bolt came loose and came up through the motor and killed the motor . We had to replace the motor . Major expense , we can't afford to sell it now . We need to get some of our 4000.00 for parts and repairs back . Very unfortunate because we love it .

All the bells and whistles, but not for me

This car had all the bells and whistles of a modern car, but definitely was not for me. The rear window is extremely small and the design of the vehicle has a number of blind spots that made me uncomfortable even in the test drive. While it was a smooth drive with many internal amenities and seems to get good gas mileage for an SUV, the car itself feels light and sits lower to the ground than I wanted. This car wasn't for me, but I can see how it would be a great car for someone else.

Very reliable

I love this vehicle, it's perfect for road trips or just commuting to work. It drives very well through the winters, and gets good gas mileage.

Very Reliable

Our 2009 Hyundai Tucson Limited was avery good and reliable SUV. It has plenty of space for storage and for passengers. We had eight years of reliable service from this vehicle. The only major expense was a new set of tires for the car.

Comfortable for size

Car was bought for gas saving. Have been very pleased with that aspect of the car. Surprized by the style and comfort of the car.
