2005 Hyundai TUCSON consumer reviews

I was very impressed with all the standard safety features and the looks of it. Ive had mine for almost two years now and not a thing has gone wrong with it. The first two weeks I had it we had a heavy snow storm. I was getting around everyone else who was stuck or slid off the road.

As with all new Hyundai models, the Tucson is among the best in it's class. The value for money cannot even be approached by any other. The warranties are great. I have had 0 problems with this SUV.

Drove one of these as a rental. Thought I would dread it but was quite surprised at the performance, handling and comfort the Tucson delivered. I drove the 6 cylinder trim with 2WD. With prolonged high-speed travel this vehicle kept right up with me. Even at 80 or 90 mph the cabin was fairly quiet (quieter than my 96 Pathfinder by far). The Tucson only had 10,000 miles on it but it handled like a dream compared to other small SUV's I have driven. The exterior design was good and actually grew on me (unlike the Santa Fe which is bulbous in design) but the interior was not what it could have been. Hard to admit this but I am actually looking to buy one now.

We purchased our Tucson fully loaded in August 2005....had considered the Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda CRV and Chevy Equinox...after much research and test driving, the Tucson offered the best warranty and design...the interior is excellently designed with easy to use and read panels....I would prefer auto driver seats...the absence of illuminated vanity mirrors is also a minus...overall, we are very pleased with our purchase and plan to purchase another Tucson in 2007 so we both have one....
