This is my second consecutive Hyundai. My previous car was a Sonata. The Tucson is tight, with a smooth ride for such a short wheel base. The turbo gives a great acceleration even with the four-cylinder engine. The whistles and bells are valuable to me. I can't live without the push button start. The lane change detector, the back up camera and audio warning device and the constant feedback on miles per gallon make life better than it used to be in other cars. The automatic opening of the hatchback is a useful feature. The car gets a true 27 mpg in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway. The fit and finish are superb, but that is pretty common in all cars nowadays. The windshield is a little too horizontal so that one is bound to get chips in it on the roadways in Phoenix. I have had two chips in 14 months. All in all, I would rather have this car than most of the Mercedes, Lexus and Cadillac vehicles I have had in my life.

This vehicle has been very sturdy and long lasting. The quality was great and performance was outstanding. The interior was well designed and well made. Seats where comfortable on long drives. Space was good.
