I Love Driving This Loaded Sporty SUV!

My husband and I love the sporty pep of this SUV with all the extras! It performs beautifully on higher climbs and twists and turns, as well as on the highway. Plus I can fit my grown grandkids on the rear seat and still have lots of cargo in the back, or lay I can put the seats down for tons of space. It has been safe and reliable while we've put easy miles on it. We really hate to sell it since we've babied it all the way. You have to see it to believe it!

The engine died. They haven’t given me a vehicle.

Our first SUV

Our 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a new member of our family! It only has 28K miles, so we are looking forward to having this car for a long time!

This is my 2nd Tucson. My first was excellent

This 2016 Tucson is quite a disappointment. The 1st week I started driving the car I noticed sudden heavy shakes (my entire body shakes)especially when I am slowing down. I reported it many times and was told that the car is trying to identify what gear to shift in. I find this it be very troubling and dangerous. Recently I lost the clock option. I cannot tell what time it is period! I called the dealership today and was told that it is a known problem and Hyundai is aware.

Tucson good, transmission maybe not so much

Great mid size SUV, turbo 4, LTD with a lot of bells & whistles that work fine. Transmission issues on this year vehicle still keep me from a great rating, even tho the warranty runs to 100,000 miles.

6 speed shifytronic Transmission

i have a serious problem with the 6 speed transmission, similar to other owner complaints. While standing still the car "bucks" similar to being hit in the rear. Sometimes the car hesitates when accelerating. This is dangerous going thru interections

Most Luxurious SUV purchased

had test driven a sport equivalent which ws apparently a 2017 but I did not find that specific vehicle in the dealers website which prompted me to kind of dismiss it from the line up. I did however do a online search for other pre-owned CPO Tucson's and came across the current one I own. Not only was it about 10k miles lower than the prior one test driven but also was just $900 more and it was at my favorite dealership of which another vehicle was purchased. This Tucson was the top of the line 2016 Limited 1.6Turbo Sunroof heated and cooled front pax and driver seats. Man do I recommend this SUV to anyone looking for something medium sized (As in not as big as the Santa Fe) and of course the high end limited. I love this SUV and do not regret the purchase its roomy and comfy for a fam of 5.

Proving to be exactly what we need!

Love the styling of this little SUV - we wanted something that sits higher that what we had, and was easy to get in and out of, got decent gas mileage on the road, and that gave us more room to carry things - this does it all.

ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE CARS I HAVE OWNED

THE SUV IS BEAUTIFUL ROOMY AND JUST AWESOME, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO A FAMILY OF 4. THIS CAR IS A GREAT UPGRADE FROM THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA.

My favorite car so far

This car has been a perfect choice for me. I got the deluxe version because I wanted all the possibilities available. At that time I purchased it I was still taking trips to mountainous regions and weekly trips to Ohio. It has always performed well—literally no problems in 4 years. It is also a smooth and comfortable ride.
