I love this little SUV. It is very fun to drive; the steering feels similar to driving a car. I also feel very safe driving in adverse conditions and off-roads. It has never slid on ice and I've driven in two very cold winters already. The base model for the Tucson is already very upgraded - it came with leather wrapped seats, Sirius radio and Bluetooth as standard. It also has heated seats, which is spectacular during the cold fall, winter, and early spring months. The back seat and trunk are very roomy. I haven't had to take it into the shop for anything yet, just regular oil changes.
