I purchased the vehicle because I needed more control in an area of poor weather. I lived in Alaska on the top of a mountain and in the winter they don't always get around to shoveling. I wanted an SUV, but I wanted something that was manual transmission, something that had decent gas mileage, and something that wouldn't cost me a fortune. This was the best option at the time and I am very happy with the way it worked out. I've now put over 110,000 miles on it and I've been in 2 major accidents. I also had problems with a blown head gasket and, even though my car was out of warranty, the warranty company was willing to pick up 70% of the parts cost for replacing the engine.

Its safety and security are at the top of priority list, the 2018 Hyundai Tucson is one of the best compact SUVs. This well-rounded SUV has a strong predicted reliability rating and few major drawbacks, earning it a place in the top half of ranking.
