Great commuter or small family vehicle
Overall happy with the Tuscon. There's a lot of good things to say aboit the vehicle, but people want to know about the not so good things to help narrow down their search.
The few, yet minor, complaints I have are the seats in the SEL premium are not comfortable for long distance drives or just sitting in traffic. The seats could use more cushion or a more premium material.
The rearview mirror does not adjust high enough for taller people. I have it as high as it will go and I pretty much stare at the back seat when looking in it. I have to tilt my head to see out the back window through the mirror.
The blind spot monitoring that comes up in the cluster is blocked by the sensor sitting on top of the steering column. As a taller person, I have a hard time seeing it, so most people will not be able to see the blind spot warning on the dash cluster at all. The mirrors work just fine, but everyone should be doing an over-the-shoulder check anyway.
The auto start/stop is sporadic. It cuts on when I don't want it to or it doesn't come on when I do want it to, like at long stop lights. Not as efficient as other vehicles I've driven.
The fuel economy is slightly less than advertised, even with the auto start/stop. I know it's dependent on driving habits, but every other vehicle I've have had been spot on with the advertised MPG.
These are all minor things and I'm still happy with the vehicle overall. The Tuscon is a nice looking vehicle all around and definitely the best value per dollar in its class. There is plenty of cabin space, front and back. More than other SUV's in its class.
