Tops. I'm very happy. I've been all over Fraser Island with it, and the only
problem was what every other ordinary 4x4 had... the sand ridges between the
wheels scraped the belly. This huge sand build up was from Tour Trucks just
churning up the tracks with no regard for any other tourists.
Love the Auto. Gets you through with eaze.
A little more clearance would be good

I actually owned 2 Hyundai Tucsons 2.7l V6 models because my wife liked the tall stance and the spacious interiors. The cars are just ok to drive, with stodgy steering. I gave up my 1st Tucson when the mileage was getting way too high and the dealer was taking advantage of me by replacing just about every part they can think of. So much for the 5 year warranty. At the rate they were going, there's no need for a warranty because I they would have replaced my entire car's mechanicals over 5 years!
Cheap to buy, hgh seating position, looks the part of a 4WD
Expensive to own and maintain, high fuel consumption, returning 12L/100km

Compared to many other vehicles in the same range the Tucson (as with many other Hyundai models) has excellent features which are optional extras on many other makes. My 2009 elite model has lower clearance than my previous Tucson, smaller fuel tank and less storage options but the leather seats, Bluetooth and sun roof are great features. In the three years I've had it the vehicle has been extremely good mechanically.
Reliable, excellent features for the price
the ground clearance gets lower with each new model

My husband doesnt like only cause motor not big enough.(Thats why it is my car not his) I only do city driving so thats why it is perfect. Service department excellent at hyundai. I love that i dont have to break my back to put the kids seat belts on. I love my car. I might not buy another one only cause my kids are getting bigger and i need more room. I also am not scared to go into a large shopping centre car park with my car. Like all the other large 4wds.
Hyundai City - Great for me to drive. Only $50.00 per week petrol.
Boot not big enough.

I have found the tucson to be a good car very roomie and the power to tow my campertrailer.The car is good on fuel on the highway but uses a little more around town but overall I like my tucson a great 4 cyl
the tucson is a good family car with a good price tag
no dislikes at this time only had for 9 months

I wouldnt buy again but in saying that I do enjoy driving it but sometimes the lack of power & larger size to duck to shops annoys me
Its got plenty of room in boot. Is attractive looking & is quite nice to drive. Still compact for a larger car
The middle seat belt in the back comes accross from the boot and is not a lap belt so I would be concerned about using it all the time if I had 3 kids. ( we only have 2) Its only 2 Litre so doesnt have much power

We did enjoy the height of the car, being able to see over traffic is a plus.
We found that we had to put in 98 Octane fuel or the engine would ping at times. Spoke to the dealers who blamed the fuel, and there solution was to only put 98 octane in it. That was annoying as it was brand new and you can't get that fuel everywhere.
Handles fairly poorly (body roll), and it feels as though the car is too big for the engine.

Like the look of them though and did enjoy the car for awhile. It is a good feature the way the boot opens, just glass or entire boot.

Way too thirsty on the fuel.

Owned if for a couple of years and never had any other problems.
Reliable
Needed 98 Octane fuel or it would ping.

Don’t get me wrong here, I love Hyundai, but I feel the Tuscon was the last of the poor quality Hyundai models that are on the road, you cannot compare the new ix35 that replaced the Tuscon this year (2010) the Tuscon has yards of cheap black plastic, the 4cyl is gutless and slow, the V6 is thirst and still not faster than the 4cyl. I urge you not to buy a Tuscon but ask your bank manager for a loan and go for the ix35 you will thank me no end for this advice, or go for a 2nd hand Outlander which are pretty cheap and well stocked for features
Cheap
Cheap, plastic feel

We love our tucson after 3 years we haven't had a problem at all. It's a good size car but not so large as to inhibit parking or to have problems with lower old style carparks.
It's a great size, fits the four of us and all our junk easily. The boot will also fit two kids size bikes which is very handy. Also set up to add on roof racks which is an added bonus. The price is very reasonable too for a car of this type.
Fuel economy isn't great, but keep in mind it is a larger car.

I researched all vehicle makers in the SUV category for 5 months prior to purchasing the Tucson City. No-one comes close. Hyundai also came third in the American JD Power & Associates - Initial Quality Study 2006, behind Porsche & Lexus. Standard equipment such as allo wheels on five tyres; immobiliser; alarm; fog lights; keyless entry; dual airbag; AND all for much, much less than the other car makers. They just can't compete.
Value for money; optional equipment on other brands in same category, are standard in the Tucson City; economy; 4WD look but with city engine.
Nothing at all. Things that the experts whinge about are trivial to the everyday driver.

Great buy for the wife she just loves to drive it, we use to go every where in my vy commodore now its the Tucson even the kids love it . I thought Hyundai was cheap and nasty but this has change and recommend this car to any one
Great price with heaps of standard equipment build finish is good and can't faulted drives well and can handle rough terrain but not a 4x4 quite and smooth with plenty of room in the front and back,the back seats recline witch is good on a long trip
Nothing at this stage only done 3500 kms

I have had my Tucson for 2 years and just clocked up 30000ks. I have not had one problem with the car. Servicing charges are very reasonable. Good fuel economy. I downgraded from a Honda Odyssey Luxury people mover & thought I would regret it but I haven't regretted the decision. It is so easy to park, the boot takes 8-10 green shopping bags. Radio has good quality sound.
Size, Good visibility, Comfortable seats, Good size boot, Handles well
Would like to have steering wheel controls for the radio

This is a great little 'not quite a 4WD' for anyone who wants the feel of a big car that's easy and fun to drive, cheap to run and inexpensive to buy. I love it!
Very quiet, comfortable and easy to drive. Big enough for all my needs but small enough to nip around town easily. Good fuel consumption, sits well on the road, great visibility and many safety features are standard.eg. ESP, traction control. Like having Bluetooth and being able to plug my iPod in. Great storage compartments all through the car and reconfiguring the seat positions is so easy.
Haven't found anything yet!

Bought it in 2007, had a good deal with the dealer, they throw free tinted windows and car parking sensor on top of the already cheaper price. Overall, this is the best convenient car for multi purposes if you driving around city or highway plus it will guarantee you won't get any speeding fine/camera due to the slow pick up
Excellent car,value for money,SUV environment with spacious room,economical,smooth steering wheels, easy to drive
Thin body like tin can, someone had vandalised my bonnet and has a small dent which very costly to repair, WARNING FOR MANUAL USERS - the gear its rough,and this car could not climb up hill due to the lack of the 4WD
