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.
