I love my Tuscon

published

I purchased my used Tuscon 3weeks ago from a used car dealership in Kippa-Ring. I love the style of the interior and the placement of switches and buttons.
It has cruise control - bonus.
Power windows. 17" wheels. Its high up, which is great. Its economical, low on fuel. I love that it cane with full service history, low kilometres and log books.
Sleek little SUV, well worth the money spent.

Purchased in November 2021 at O'Briens Wholesale Cars for $5,000.00.

Love my car!

published

So happy with my Tucson - it is the perfect size for a medium family car. No issues, drives really well and has a decent size boot as well. A tank of petrol lasts around 10 days for me and is only around $55 to fill up. Would happily purchase another Hyundai.

High fuel consumption

published

Recently bought a used 2009 Tucson City with 150K on the clock. Advertised fuel consumption is 9.2L/100km for city driving. Actual consumption is 14.2 L/100km driving conservatively. Not happy about that as it was a major factor in purchase decision.
Otherwise, it's comfortable and functional. Good family car if you're too fussed on having good acceleration.

Great sized mid range SUV

published

Bought a 2008 model in 2014 with 60,000 km's. Its been great, no issues, beautiful look inside and out. Im 6'4 with broad shoulders and I have half a foot spare head space. Also extra height is great for getting in and out on dodgy knee. No mechanical problems yet and economy between 10 and 11 on the auto. Decent acceleration (not great on auto) gets the job done.

Great suv,

published

Had my 2009 tucson city SX from new. Best car i ever drove. Fuel economy is around the 8.8 on highway and 9.4 around town. As my son lives 2 and a half hours away i travel a fair bit. Would recommend this wagon to anyone who is looking for a good smooth ride, good fuel economy and a good ground clearance car.

Great economy

published

Love this car. Good interior and boot space. I've a 2008 model that had done just over 100000km. The only criticism I have us that when it's windy the car feels like it's drifting. I'm used to it now but it was a bit scary the first time it happened.

Very average probably wouldnt buy another

published

bought it brand new in 2009. Has now done 140k. Have had a few problems, the electrical system crashed twice in the middle of the night leaving me with no lights. I let it go 2000klm over for a a service and you could scoop the oil out with your hand it was so thick. Replaced a lot of hoses in the first two years and the latest is that there is no oil in it and its not due for a service for another 10k.

Bought a 2008 Tuscon SX City in a country town and it's done 103000km. I love the smooth ride, the interior finish, the style and size but mostly the fuel economy on the open road doing 110kph daily and around town 50-60kph. i do use 98 fuel which I've done with previous cars as I get better mileage. Overall great value for money at $16000 with 3 year and 3 months warranty; brilliant and very comfortable to drive SUV.

Tucson City Elite 2009 - Excellent Compact SUV for the price...

published

Am really happy with this SUV. Bought it in 2009 and has served me well with no issues i nthe car. Service was cheap and easy, last year put Penrite Engine Oil HPr-5 and it become much more smoother. Comes with good features for a basic compact SUV FWD and given its the cheapest SUV with unmatched warranty offered form Hyundai, am full of praise for this vehicle. Was definitely worth an investment in terms of safety, economy, and SUV'sque capabilities.
-Price, Features, Fuel Economy (10 litres/100 kms approx), Superb handling, Low Maintenance, Very reliable & Safe.
-Bumpy ride on rough roads and a fair bit of body-roll at times.

One year after the purchase Tucson is still going good, E10 fuel works well with the car, cheaper at the pump with no impact on acceleration.

Nice simple car that I love driving

Wouldn't have a clue. I gave it serviced every 6 months. Great car.

Just under 5 litres.I do all fluid changes on car and if I leave a around 250-300ml in bottom of bottle it will be at correct level,with enough oil to do a filter change in between oil changes.You will lose this amount only when changing filter and can pour the rest of he bottle into the filter and spin back on.

Can a four cylinder Hyundai Tucson wagon not four wheel drive be taken on beach trips?

2 answers

Rango1

Maybe.I have driven a 1967 Mini and a Suzuki swift on the beach.Of course you need to remember only 2WD- front wheels have traction.Ground clearance is generally ok.Beach conditions play important part.Compacted sand slight bog maybe,but stay away from deeper stuff or driving up sand dunes etc.Be prepared if having a go.Sand ladders/recovery tracks,a spade,tow rope,air compressor are good items to have in car.The 4cyl Tuscon(or even the 6) was not really made for off road driving and you would want to consider your insurance,but we don't have to be bored and not try to be adventurous.All terrain tyres are good too.Keep up speed if you feel you are starting to bog down.That's about all I can suggest.

If you like digging maybe. Just remember unless you have a towbar these vehicles have no rated recovery points.
