"A winner in all departments except perhaps a little noisy on less than smooth surfaces. This vehicle is a well thought out piece of engineering and I imagine its brethern 2011 Kia Sportage will expand upon the subject. Great styling. Only other minus on driving is larger than normal right rear blind spot but all of these compact SUV's suffer from the same malady. Great paint color, might prove to be a little thin. (Bright blue) We compared to others and comparably equipped Compact SUV's were $2-3m more expensive. City driving we experience 24 mpg, have not hit the highway yet but saw 26.5 mpg from Denver over Berthoud Pass to Granby and back. After owning a large SUV, gas tank is a little small, but we are getting around 280 miles between fillups (wife gets nervous if light comes on so we don't stress limits)"

"The choice really simmered down to a CRV and a Tucson. So why a Tucson? Positives: The Tucson thoroughly thumps the Honda CRV silly for value for money! The Hyundai is just as reliable a brand these days. The Tuscon has been completely redesigned for 2010 and the design will remain current for at least another 4 years. The CRV is a >5yr old design with virtually no new tech and the interior screams this. The Tucson has uptodate interior tech and feels like the entire car was built around the driver with all the tech beautifully/intuitively integrated (you won't need an instruction manual to figure anything out). Finish is top notch with extremely low tolerances for the interior and the exterior. The fully equipped Tucson is at least $3000 cheaper than a comparably equipped CRV and the dealer made no fuss or drama about it (no back and forth, "I'll talk to my manager" nonsense). I am getting about 26 in the city and about 36 on the freeway!! Negatives: Much firmer ride compared to the CRV during the first week off the lot. Although, the car provides much less firm a ride after two weeks of driving on Chicago roads. If you want a numb ride like the CRV or a cadillac, this is not your car. The voice on the integrated GPS sounds like frogs croaking! The rear does not have as much space as a CRV. Then again, we were not looking for a pickup."

"I?m a 20 year plus Honda Guy and was looking for a new car, in recent years I have been very disappointed with their quality, so I took a chance with Hyundai and I couldn?t be happier. I want to share with you a recent driving experience; I was driving my new loaded Diamond Silver 2010 Tucson Limited on the freeway and passed a brand new Mercedes GLK ?Class SUV, he sped up to check out my ride, he just kept looking and looking, I turn around and smiled, thinking what a fool, my car looks better, I?m getting better MPG?s and I paid half the price. If you know anything about cars you have to like the looks and you can?t beat the warranty. Watch out Hyundai?s coming up big time?"

"I have owned my Tucson for only a month now. I have traded in a BMW X3 2006 for it, and I love my new car WAY more than my old one. I purchased the Limited edition which comes loaded, leather, heated seats, IPOD entry, cruise control, blue tooth, etc. I love it so far,its fun to drive and all the controls are very easy to use. I would definitely recommend it !!!"

"My Hyundai Tucson Limited makes driving fun. Our Hyundai dealer has been terrific. We where invited to dinner at the dealership a few weeks after we bought are new Hyundai. There was 20 new Hyundai owners present. It was great to ask question and hear others ask specific question. Listing to the feed back insured me I bought the right vehicle."

"We knew we wanted a small SUV to carry items for household projects, bikes and etc. We saw the Hyundai Tucson Limited on display and immediately fell in love with it. It had a sense of style, had a remarkable amount of features/technology, was practical and relatively reasonably priced. Since we were unfamiliar with the competition we set out to look at all the products in the segment. At each dealership we became more impressed with the Tucson. We went back to the Hyundai dealer to take a second look at the Tucson. We learned that it was a completely new design and product which explained why it was so far ahead of the competition. As a matter of fact, this was the first one this dealer had received. We would have bought it on the spot but hated the salesman and the dealer's ridiculous sales tactics. We went to another dealer a few miles away, had a great sales person, had a great sales experience and bought a bronze colored Tucson Limited the next day It's only been a couple of weeks and I must admit I am more impressed with it now. The build quality on the Tucson is amazing. The amount of features on the Limited is remarkable, except for the mind numbing omission of any home-link (garage door opener) system. It's really amazing, I never seriously considered a Hyundai before. I remember what a joke they were in the late 80's / 90's. While I was aware that Hyundai had made great strides recently regarding build quality and customer satisfaction, I really never took them seriously. It's too soon to tell whether I will still feel the same way in the years to come but so far I am impressed The bottom line is if you like it buy it. I don't think you will regret it. While it doesn't have the cachet of some other cars it makes up for it in areas that really matter. How much is the cachet really worth at the end of the day anyway? Trust me I have spent thousands over the years chasing it! I think eventually public perception will catch-up with the product. I am old enough to remember when a Toyota was a joke. We also have a Lexus which is a remarkable car. I am not saying the Hyundai is better but for someone that is relatively spoiled the Tucson does not disappoint. Ironically, The Lexus is mostly sitting idle next to the Tucson in the garage lately although I am sure it will be ignored less once the novelty wears off on the Tucson."

"The Hyundai Tucson 2010 will be my second Suv. I currently own a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. Between the two I'd say goodbye Outlander Hello Tucson! I love the power as you press on the gear, handling is great, seats are comfortable, great for the family, cool aerodynamic design, has ipod connection feature... and finally great gas saver! So far no problems..."
