"Once you sit in the drives seat, you feel like your part of the car. Here I go it drives like a car, not a SUV. You get the best from both worlds. You have the room to haul all your Christmas gifts and the luxury and comfort you want. Looks red hot and drive red hot."

"I love my Tuscon and have no regrets. Performance is great. It's spunky, sporty and fun to drive. Turns corners very smoothly. I love my little bucket."

"I've had my 2012 Tucson Limited for 12 months now, nad have loved every driving moment. I've been on long trips and just tooled around the neighborhood. cars features are great and I'm very happy with the ride and the gas mileage. I drove only Acuras and Infinity's prior to this and only notice that the Tucson does not receive the acolades it should which seem to be limited to the more luxurious vehicles. I plan to buy this car once it is off lease (the first time ever after 21 years of leasing) and would recommend it highly."

"The speedometer is very hard to read, and should be redesigned. The transmission keeps adjusting around the 30 miles an hr. spot & this is annoying as this is the usual speed we need to drive at daily in our area."

"I got my 2012 Hyundai Tucson Limited just a few months ago and am extremely glad! Don't get me wrong, I loved my 2005 Accent. I figured I would miss my Accent because I loved being able to fit into the tight spaces that SUVs couldn't. Once we got this, however, I realized that while it feels much bigger than it looks (the inside is awesome and there's plenty of space), the car still isn't humongous, which means I got the best of both worlds. The gas mileage is similar to what I was getting in my Accent, but with a bigger gas tank I notice I'm filling up less. My insurance went up by a whopping $4 per month! (Yes, that was sarcasm... I expected it to go up much more). Apparently the safety ratings for the Tucson are awesome, so that's why there wasn't a huge price hike. I have to revert to the Accent to talk about reliability, since I've only had the Tucson for 2 months. The Accent was very reliable so I have no reason to doubt the Tucson will be just as great, especially with the warranty there to cover it in case it begins acting up. Piece of mind has been a staple ever since I've been dealing with Hyundai. The turning may be rigid, but I honestly don't notice it much at all. It keeps pretty straight while i'm on highway roads, which I appreciate more than seeing it as a burden. The car is not an off road vehicle, though it can handle a bit:-) I'm looking much more forward to driving through the mountains in this thing than the Accent. Initially we were worried that we got the wrong car - we were more interested in waiting for the 2013 Santa Fe. And while I have no doubt the Santa Fe is an amazing car, we do not regret going ahead and buying the Tucson before the Santa Fe came out. It is an awesome car with great fuel economy - for a good price. I have a hard time seeing the downside to it."

"Dealer in Riverhead,LI was absolutely no help. After the deal was closed, wouldn't even return phone calls. Service department was cool, though. Took the new 2012 Hyundai Tucson from Long Island to Massachusetts for a weekend trip (after the 600 mile break-in period). Got 30.5 MPG during the trip. What a great little vehicle!! Had ECO turned-on for the whole trip, and the pick-up was still within expectations! After 1400 miles now, getting about 20-21 on local street driving. Should be going to about 23 MPG soon."

"This is a great car for the price. It looks like a Lexus at a fraction of the price. I bought the GLS so the leather trimmed seats are nice. There is plenty of space for my two kids even in the boster seats and plenty of space for grocery's. The warrenty is excellent. Make sure you ask for the Bumper to Bumper for the full 100K miles they can do this for you. The only things I do not like are the blind spots and the ECO on for city driving. The blind spots are awful you have to be very careful and the ECO fights itself if it is on in the city, it works great on the highway. The paint is very pretty but it scratches very easy. I do love the car and am happy I bought."

"The car has great air conditioning, but since I bought it for the advertised 32mpg highway, I've never been so disappointed. Latest fwy trips have given me an average of 23mpg. I got better fwy mileage with my 2001 Rav 4 when it had 150K miles."

"A great value. Very good quality vehicle at a reasonable cost. And most important these days is good gas mileage. I would definitely recommend this vehicle, if your looking for great style, good gas mileage and the best warranty available."

"I have had my 2012 Tucson for 6 months. From day one my gas mileage has been terrible. I drive 99% highway every day of the week. The best I have gotten on the highway is 26.5 mpg, but normally it is about 24.5 mpg. I have had it to the dealer 3 times. Every time I take it in, they say wait till 3000 miles, then 7500 miles, then 10,000 miles, then this last time 12,500 miles. The trip computer shows consistently 1.5 mpg more than the actual gas mileage. After reading the other reviews, I am sure there is something wrong with my car and with the price of a gallon of gas I'm ready for the lemon law. I had previously owned 3 Sonatas and always got really good mileage and what was advertised. Other than that, I love the car. It is extremely comfortable and had a good ride. You do have to be careful when exiting the vehicle because it is easy to accidently lock the door where the lock is placed and the doors don't always close the first time. If it would get the advertised mileage or even close I would buy it again, but right now, I would not purchase a Tucson again"
