2010 Hyundai TUCSON consumer reviews

This is the 2nd Hyundai I've owned. I previously owned a 2007 Sonata Limited V6, which proved to be reliable, comfortable, and powerful. I wanted to move back to an SUV for the higher ride height and because I like having the space in back to put my two 50-pound dogs. PROS: 1) Interior/Exterior Styling 2) Beautiful interior (mine is black with the saddle leather) 3) Decent gas mileage 4) Excellent assortment of standard features such as full iPod integration, hands-free Bluetooth for the phone, power driver's seat, dual-zone A/C which is COLD, and automatic headlights 5) Great handling for an SUV 6) Absolutely outstanding passenger room. My 6'6" tall partner has extra leg and headroom when driving or riding passenger. 7) Incredible warranty CONS: 1) A little more noisy than I like, but its not terrible 2) While the gas mileage is probably similar to other vehicles in the small SUV segment, I had higher hopes. I've not yet achieved the 31 MPG on the highway and typically get around 27, which is about the same I got on my V6 Sonata. I drive the speed limit. 3) The only moonroof available is this massive panoramic monster that has no total sunshade: a recipe for unbearable heat here in SE Texas and likely to let in more noise. I wish there was a standard, rectangular moonroof available. 4) The horn is the WORST. HORN. EVER. I found that vehicles from other manufacturers to be far more costly to equip comparable to the Tucson. Hed and legroom were especially important to me for the front seat due to my partner's 6'6" frame (and he's not overweight). All in all, I would buy my 2010 Tucson again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Amazing exterior and pretty thoughtful & good interior styling. Pros- nippy yet smooth acceleration, tight turning radius. Cons- grating/scratchy sound on running, unpredictable deaccellaration, big blind spot, anterior columns huge, window level high-can't see curb properly, on opening rear door one can see dirt on the body where the door fits flush, handling at high speeds little unsure, poor fuel efficiency, a little loud engine noise when fully loaded. But still in Conclusion - most stylish and value for money small suv/cross over.

The pros: Unbelievable acceleration for a 4 cylinder. Unnoticeable transmission shift. Interior and exterior styling. Driving comfort and handling. Great city fuel mileage. The con: Terrible tire and road noise from the rear of the vehicle.

Great handling, good gas mileage, plenty of "get up and go". Love the way it looks, inside and out. Ipod hookup is great. Small cargo space, but I wasn't looking for much-still plenty of room when I put the seats down. Lots of great features that come standard that you would pay extra for with other vehicle manufacturers. The ONLY thing I don't like are the front drivers and passenger headrests. Hyundai designed them to "give" if you get in a wreak; to help prevent whiplash. Unfortunately, what happened is that their design of the seat/headrest is curved too far forward, almost like a "C". This causes your head to be pushed forward and out of alignment with your spine if you like to sit with your back pressed up completely against your seat, which I do. I resolved the issue by yanking the headrest out and turning it around. That defeats their "whiplash" design, but now allows me to drive my car in comfort. If you're looking for a small SUV (but not too small), give this one a try. I think you'll be surprised how much you like it.

mechanically good, comfort average with dashboard display of time, gas tank, temp being lcd type is useles in sun and I am not able to tell the gas left in tank particular since the gas tank is probably small - about14 gallons but fills up with about 10 gallons. Drivers seat- not power, is uncomfortable Windshield wiper does not cover rigtht and left side and blind spots can be botersome. rear seat sticks up and does not lay horizontal when folded down.

All the reviews I have seen talk about how great the Tucson is, looks, economy, feaatures and I'm not going to disagree. My case for buying this car is it is the perfect vehicle for an empty nester like me. I don't need to seat seven I just want to be able to put a full size adult in the back seat occationally and they can be comfortable. The Tucson allows any six foot guy to seat in back and not feel like a sardine. Pick up grocerys or some plants at the nursery, the back door has great access and mine came with a plastic floor insert that keeps the dirt and spills in the back contained. You can remove it for easy washing and your back in business. I'm not a techno nerd but I do like the GPS which is very easy to use and I even started using the IPOD my son gave me now that it is so easy to access the songs with the screen in the Tucson. With all the features available this Tucson can definitely be your only car. Finally the Hyundai brand. My daughters each have a Hyundai Elantra and I was so impressed with the reliability I bought a Hyundai Azera that has been a great car for the past four years. Now I have the Tucson and Hyundai has me hooked. I haven't bought four cars from the same manufacturer in my life because none of them have deserved my loyalty, but Hyundai has.

FROM A MAN POINT OF VIEW , IT GREAT ! FROM A GMC YUKON DENALI . TO THIS NOT BAD AT ALL LOT OF ROOM LOVE THE DASH BOARD ON THE CAR @ THE INTERIOR IN THIS CAR MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR IN A 50,000 DOLLAR CAR . THE GAS MILEAGE , WOW, WOW, CAN BET. I WOULD DEFINITELT RECOMMEND IT . CAN"T BEAT THE WARRANTY

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?
