Kinda realizable everything else falls apart

This vehicle was sold to me 20,000 off the lot with 80,000 miles on it already, first day I hate it battery went completely dead had to miss a full day of work and almost lost my job. Then rear twilight would get moisture in it and had to take out the light and put it back in a lot because it says it’s burnt out all the time....... both my rear doors don’t work..... there completely hooked up just needs a new part in there... I still owe money on this car I’ve only had it for 2 years and now I’m expected to pay over 2000 dollars just to get these doors to open again when nothing is even unhooked........ seems like a set up for Hyundai to make more money off of people. I have kids and this is extremely unsafe and just extremely inconvenient and should be recalled on these doors.. I can’t afford to get my doors fixed especially at a time like this..... I’m just gonna have to pray nothing happens to my kids and I.

Best vehicle I’ve owned

The Hyundai Tucson Sport is a fabulous vehicle. Drives smoother than any other that I’ve owned. Perfect size. Not quite as big as the Santa Fe, but still gives you all of the space you need for busy on-the-go families.

Drives like a dream.

Amazing room throughout the vehicles and cargo space. The interior is wonderful and keeps clean very easily. It is so smooth on any type of road. Absolutely perfect!

Super reliable

I got the limited package so the inside is beautiful! Luxurious for not a luxury price. It’s spacious, and the perfect “mom car” I was looking for!! Awd. Such convenient features (automatic hatch open and close, keyless entry, etc.) I love love love it!!

Just bought 9 days ago!

I love it for the most part! Tons of leg room. Radio and speakers are awesome. Love the push button start. Love the all wheel drive. This car is super easy to drive. Very trustable in the snow! Tons of room in back as well. My dog and his wire cage fit perfectly! Not enough cubbyholes for me!

Most tech vehicle I’ve ever owned

The vehicle has everything I was looking for in my next vehicle and more. Panoramic sunroof, review view camera, leather heated seats etc. I purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon 1.6T Limited with the ultimate package.

Great mileage and nice features

This CUV is a stout little monster. It has great pickup with the 1.6T engine. Only complaint is the ride is stiff, but this is partly due to the low profile tires it comes with. As far as handling, it sticks to the road. With 4 adults and luggage for a 5day trip we got 32-34mpg on the interstate!

unreliable

This vehicle has had a plethora of problems from AC not working right, window problems needing replacement of internal gear and ABS problems. Total opposite performance and reliability than what I researched. Going to try and trade it for a Lada. Likely much better customer service and reliability

Won’t buy anything else but Hyundai

My husband and I have been through all the cars you can think of and bought our first Hyundai (2016 Sonata Limited) a few years ago. We’re both so obsessed with how comfortable and reliable these cars are we went back and bought a Hyundai Tucson Ultimate without even questioning it. I don’t think we will ever own anything but Hyundai ever again!

RUN from the 2016 Tuscon

My 4th Hyundai, Tucson sport with Dual Clutch Transmission. The worst driving car I have EVER driven. Even the dealerships agree that they are difficult to drive. Hesitation when trying to merge into traffic, "hops" when first started and put into drive, hard shifting. I have NO confidence in this vehicle. Look for reviews about the issues with this transmission. Hyundai did away with them....that should say something.
