For a lower end SUV, I have loved the reliability. It has preformed extremely well under all weather conditions. All the features that came with the car have great functionality - easy to get to and easy to use. I have almost 150,000 miles on the car and it still is solid. The rear seats can easily fold down and I am able to now use the back of the SUV to load whatever project supplies I pick up at the home improvement store. The engine is very reliable. I have never missed an oil change and I also keep the air cleaner free of dirt. Still purrs like a kitten. I took it in to get it tuned up at 100,000 miles and my mechanic asked me if it was running poorly. I said nope, but it has lots of miles on it and I've never had a tune up. He sent me on my way and told me don't worry, some of these cars may never need a tune up, bring it back if it start running poorly. Now I have 150,000 miles and still running great. It's comfortable and I can easily fit me, my wife and my three grandkids in with room to spare. I am even able to get all my supplies in the back area that I use to feed the homeless, generator included.

I have a Hyundai Tucson, and although it's the first SUV I've ever had, I can't picture myself driving anything different (at least, not right now with my lifestyle). For starters, it's a dependable car. I never have to worry if it'll start up or stop on a dime. I fee in control and at ease steering it, even in icy conditions during an Upper Michigan winter. It's amazing on gas! In fact, it gets better gas mileage than my old Pontiac Grand Prix. I will say, it's not the most spacious SUV, but the amount of cup holders is perfect. The vehicle (in my opinion) looks more expensive than it really is! Who can beat that.
