Stiff, Bumpy Ride But Reliable So Far

My 2012 Tucson certainly has been reliable. The AWD has kicked in during road flooding, no major mechanical problems (yet) and I have received compliments on the exterior styling. On the flip side, the ride feels like you're traveling on the inside of an egg-shaker! Way too stiff! Don't buy if you have any spine or neck issues. The exterior paint seems very thin. Even the smallest rock chips the paint right down to the metal. And don't EVEN get a Tucson owner going about the HORRIBLE gas mileage. Guess why they were sued. The MAX I get with "Eco Boost On" is about 23.5 mpg on the Highway. With Eco Boost OFF on I get a paltry, 21mpg on the highway. I have the 2.4 liter but it still feels under-powered. Sometimes I want to push it up hills & on ramps myself. If feels like one could walk faster up the on ramp then get enough "push" from the motor. Still, for an AWD drive vehicle, Limited Edition, the price was right. It looks a little sporty (I have the Ash Black), has been very reliable and gets me where I need to go.

Hyundai 2012

Like almost everything about the car except that it has a drive belt with replacement recommended at 60K. Wouldn't buy another without a drive CHAIN.

My experience

I love my Tucson. I have had no mechanical problems. There could be less road noise. The rear compartment could have better lighting. Gas mileage could be improved.

GREAT VEHICLE, ENJOY DRIVING IT. JUST WISH IT HAD BLIND SIDE OPTION.

I PURCHASED IT USED WITH LOW MILEAGE AND IT PERFORMS GREAT. IT'S ATTRACTIVE WITH PLENTY OF ROOM AND COMFORT.

Hundai Tuscon

I love my car. It handles beautifully around town and on long distances. The one issue I have is that the side mirrors are too big for me. They obstruct my view when I am turning left - a design flaw?? One other issue is the hands free phone system is not user friendly and it has a hard time understanding my British accent.

Dependable

I like my Tucson. It's ride is a little harsh, but overall is fairly comfortable. It's not a speed demon, but has adequate power. I like the options, as well as the fact you can actually get options - unlike the Honda I had where I had to get "trim levels" with little options available. I recently had the vehicle in for repairs (Hyundai stands behind their product unlike Honda) and found myself missing my Tucson. I'd recommend to a friend.

An overall nice car

After driving 3 Santa Fes over 14 years, I purchased a 2012 Tucson and found it to be an excellent running car but was too tight for my 6'2" frame. I just purchased a 2013 Santa Fe Sport and find it to better fit my needs. Once I drove a Hyundai I never drove anything else.

Drives almost anywhere with great gasmileage

I've had my Tucson for 4 years now and still love it to this day. My Tucson and I enjoyed road trips to Colorado, Michigan's UP, Washington, South Dakota, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and beyond. Throughout all of my travels it continues to perform and has more than adequate storage capacity for any avid camper or outdoor enthusiast. Don't try to take it off-roading and treat this vehicle right, and it will continue to earn your trust. I have the GLS version with a sport package. I've kept up with regular scheduled maintenance and any major repairs. I am currently at 85,000 miles and have only had one major mechanical issue, which was covered by the excellent warranty. I've bought new tires and added an aftermarket roof rack. Overall the car deserves a 4 Star rating, because at the time it was the best value on the market. As of now new tech and features continue to flood the crossover market, and Hyundai needs to continue to be an innovator. Standard safety features like blindspot indicators and a back up sensor are a good start. I wish it had more power, and was able to tow a fair amount of weight. I don't tow as of now, but if I were to get a small trailer I would need a new vehicle.

Very Pleased

Purchased this vehicle one year ago. The vehicle had a little over 20,000 miles on it and was in very good condition. During this year, we experienced no significant mechanical problems. A minor exception (a link stabilizer in the right front end) was undoubtedly due to our driving over an incredibly bad road on an ill fated fishing expedition. We have maintained regular inspections, oil changes, tires, etc. The car is very comfortable and handles well, has ample room in the back seat for passengers and has good room for luggage, groceries, etc. in the back. The fold down back seats have made it easy to transport longer or bulkier items. One design point: my wife is short at only 4' 11" and the size and placement of the driver's side view mirror initially created a visibility issue for her; however, she has been able to adapt.
