Third times a charm when it comes to engines!

Lots of engine trouble, lots of money out of pocket, lots of love for my Tucson. 2018 Tucson bought used with 15K miles on it. Perfect ride, great in wet weather, AC kicks butt, I’m in South Texas, feels safe, I totaled a 2016 previously and came out unscathed. The only thing that’s been negative is the fact that I’m on the third engine. Lol. The Gemma engines had issues with debris from the cam shaft staying in the engine and I had a blockage in the OG engine that led to overheating issues and eventually warped the block. Didn’t know about the engine issue and just bought a new motor. After about 6 months the second motor, used from a wrecked Tucson, threw a rod and blew up due to debris killing a bearing. Found out about engine issues and bought a resurfaced and rebuilt engine and it’s smooth sailing again. I ride this car hard and it answers the call day in and day out.

Engine failed

This car doesn't have alot of take off power. Not very comfortable as the driver. Now I have to be without a vehicle for two months & a week because the engine failed. There was issues with the engine's in these vehicle's. Very inconvenient when this is your only vehicle. The only up part about the situation is that it is being replaced at no cost to me. Will be trading or selling as soon as possible.

Great Color

This exceeds my expectations. It’s my favorite color. It’s just the right size. It’s also very functional. I love all the features on it. Gas mileage is great too.

Comfortable, stylish, value for price.

This car is easy to enter and exit as I have back problems. Comfortable with lumbar support. Android auto included. The best suv for the price. I love Hyundai.

Great Car for the money!

Needed something comfortable for my arthritis/back pain - the easy in-and-out of this vehicle, lumbar support and heated seats are wonderful! I enjoy the body style inside and out of this vehicle - would recommend this vehicle!!
