Would Have Rated Higher, But...
My first experience with a Tucson Sport was about 6 months ago when it was given to me as a loaner while my Santa Fe was in the shop for routine maintenance. I enjoyed the vehicle so much, I decided my next purchase would be the Tucson Sport. Well, I bought my Tucson Sport almost two months ago and would have given this vehicle 5-stars, but gave it only 3 because the acceleration is inconsistent which is really disappointing. I just started noticing it in the 2nd week of ownership. I checked to make sure ECO and AC were turned off, and Sport Mode enabled, but the engine seemed to struggle when accelerating ( like when on an on-ramp on the Expressway ). I will have the dealer check things when I get my first oil change done, so I'm hoping it will just take a tweak of the electronics to fix the issue. Other than that, I can say the vehicle is sturdy and well-made - I just hoping the engine acceleration issue can be resolved.
