2011 Hyundai TUCSON consumer reviews

Hyundai has raised the bar on the 2011 Tucson. I just purchased a new FWD Limited, Graphite Grey, Leather seats, Navigation System, Upgraded Sound System, Moon Roof, and have not questioned my decision once. In fact, all I have been hearing from others is ?Wow?. Sure I could have purchased a BMW or other top of the line vehicle, but at the end of the day, when I sit inside my Tucson and drive, I feel like I am in a top of the line vehicle. The feel, the handling, and the performance are the same if not better than the other SUVs of the same class. The body style of this SUV is incredible! Its futuristic design makes it a head turning object as you drive around. Additionally, it sits up like a full size SUV, giving you comfort while driving in all conditions. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The comfort inside sinks in when you first get in. The room is far better than most reviews indicate. I am a golfer and my large bag and 3 wheel push cart along with all my accessories fit like a glove. The back seats do not need to move or recline. I am near 6 foot and find it very comfortable, even when the front seats are fully extended back. The ease of accessing all the components on the vehicle while driving are without effort or difficulty. I can operate almost everything from the steering wheel, and what I can't, I have within reach. I am impressed with the heating more and more everyday. The system does not start blowing air until a certain temperature has been reached to provide additional comfort. Other vehicles begin to blow air the moment the air is turned on and the air can be very cold at first, not fun in the winter up North. The sound system is incredible. You have to experience it while driving alone. If you are with a sales person you will not experience it the same. The Nav Sys is quick and very easy to use. The comfort while driving on the road is excellent by my standards. If you are on the highway you will really enjoy the comfort, agility, and ability of this vehicle. I can't wait till Summer to roll the windows down and open the moon roof and turn up the tunes. I can't see anyone not enjoying this vehicle, if an SUV is what their looking to purchase. Great Job Hyundai!!!

I have had this car for 2,000 miles. It is a great looking car inside and out and has almost every feature you could want. However, the gas mileage is terrible. The correct mileage is 18 and 25, not the 22 city and 31 highway advertised. With this MPG, the 14.5 gal. gas tank is too small. It also is advertised as the 4 cyl. engine is better than the previous 6 for MPG and HP. As noted, the MPG is terrible and the car is underpowered for freeway and hill driving.

I had previously owned a 2002 Santa Fe & loved it. When it was time for a new car, I definitely wanted another Hyundai. The new styling of the Tuscon was great! I loved that it had heated seats & lots of little extras that similar cars in that price range did not have. The fact that it is only 4-cylinder was a little bit of a turn-off, but I honestly don't even notice the difference. Got the AWD with "leatherette" interior. The leatherette has a funky smell at first (kind of like Payless shoe stores), but I was the only one who seemed bothered by it. All of my backseat passengers (adults) are amazed at the room they have.
