2005 Hyundai Tucson

Pros: Interior space and versatility, styling much better than Santa Fe, safety features, ride quality

Cons: Interior materials, GLS cloth, no BMW substitute

The Bottom Line: A very good compact SUV all around, especially for the price. A very practical, safe SUV for the average driver.

Review: When I first heard that Hyundai was developing a new SUV smaller than the Santa Fe, I was confused. They already offered an inexpensive compact SUV, the Santa Fe. Did they feel there was a market for something even smaller, like the Toyota RAV4? My ...

Pros: Lots of standard features. Side and roof airbags. Traction control. Optional V6 and AWD.

Cons: Goofy fan controls, small center console, shifter console interferes with right leg space.

The Bottom Line: Excellent list of standard features and excellent value for the money. A V6 with similar features from Honda or Toyota would be $6,000-$8,000 more. The Tucson is highly recommended!

Review: This review is for the 2005 Hyundai Tucson GLS V6 4WD. My options were the 4WD, moonroof, and upgraded stereo. I’ve been wanting an SUV, but nothing big that guzzles gas. The only small SUVs previously were the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda ...

Pros: Easy to get in and get off. Seats are comfy and roomy space.

Cons: No power seat. Lack of lights on vanity mirrors.

The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend it because of the good price, warranty, roomy space and great exterior design.

Review: I just buy a Tucson and I recommend it. I was looking for a Outlander, or a Ford Escape. I drove both of them. But when I saw and drove the Tucson it was love at first sight. It's easy to drive. You can use the seat lower or higher. Drive steady on ...

Pros: Great price, safety, accessories, height, roomy.

Cons: No lights for the vanity mirrors, no power seats

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a compact/big SUV, this is the one. The price is an A . This SUV has great safety features. TRY IT!!

Review: Amazingly, the Tucson is a big compact SUV and with a competitive price. The first thing I noticed was the accesories: 8 cupholders (4 front and 4 back!!!), one power outlet in the front and another one in the back (no more wrestling to charge your cell ...

Pros: Nice interior, spacious front/back seats as well as trunk area, very cute and affordable

Cons: V4 is slow to pick up, some interior paint is chipping after 2.5 years.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a budget SUV with a great warranty, this is a great choice.

Review: I purchased this vehicle because I wanted an SUV, but I needed something I could afford. I also liked Hyundai's warranty program. I love this vehicle for a lot of reasons. The trunk area is spacious, and the backseats fold down so easily even I can ...

Pros: Handling, reclining rear seats, stereo, headroom, legroom, v6, good tires, etc.....

Cons: Gas mileage and thats about it.

The Bottom Line: If you are in the market to own a new car check out the tucson before you buy a Toyota.

Review: We have had our Tucson for about 4 months now, and before we decided to buy one I looked at every review on the net I could find. 9 out of 10 times I saw people really liked them and were having good luck with them, so we decided to take our 2000 Rav4 in ...

Pros: great handling, economical, safe, plenty of room, good gas mileage, awesome sound system

Cons: The fabric choices for the seats was limited.

The Bottom Line: This car is a wonderful value. Hyundai has packed it with important features for safety, comfort and enjoyment. Plus it looks and handles great!

Review: We wanted a small SUV, something we could drive for two years and then hand down to our daughter when she went to college. After much research and test-driving several makes/models, we decided on the Tucson. We made a great deal on a 2005 ($14K + ...

Pros: Warrantee, roominess of passenger seating area, body styling, seating adjustments, easy dash labeling

Cons: having car payments again

The Bottom Line: Recommend highly! Looks and feels great with a piece of mind warranty and great 5 year roadside assistance program. No need for AAA.

Review: I bought a 2005 Hyundai Tucson on Saturday and immediately drove it about 200 miles the next day. I went into the dealership originally for the Santa Fe and the dealer asked me did I consider the Tucson at all. I was open to the idea and took it for a ...

Pros: roomy interior, great handling, safety features. A real joy to drive!

Cons: A few recalls - nothing major, gas mileage only fair

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend the Hyundai Tuscon. Great value!

Review: I bought my Tuscon in July 2005 and I love it. I test drove several small SUVs including the Toyota Rav4 and the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Tuscon won by a mile. The best feature of the Tuscon is it's roomy interior. Plenty of leg room front and back ...

Pros: Great value, superb warranty, fun to drive, nice interior features.

Cons: The 2.7 litre engine should get better mileage...but that's the one tradeoff on this car.

Review: My wife and I, after viewing and considering all the competition, stopped into our local Hyundai dealer on a whim on Sunday night. After a test drive, and some great Sunday at 5:30 (when the dealership closes at 5:00) haggling, we walked out with a ...
