Hyundai Tucson GSI 4WD 2.0 2006

4 star review

Bought mine as a pre-registered zero-miler. There’s only really one description ... "it does just what it says on the tin"! After three years, I still rate it - the spec is excellent, it’s a little thirsty and the trade-in price will be low, but does that matter when you bought it many thousands below its EU under-spec’d equivalents?

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDT GSI 4WD Manual. 2004

4 star review

I purchased my vehicle in 2006 with just over 8K on the clock. The car has all the add-ons you need, air bags all round, adjustable steering wheel and lights, comfort, space and good vision, tinted rear windows. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving the car which at times has surprised me by the effortless cruising at higher speeds. However I have 1 major problem. I have had 2 replacement clutches, the first at about 35k in May 2007and the second at about 48k in July 2008 and I have learned that a first replacement was done after only 1900 miles. I am now considerably worried about this historical record as the warranty runs out in August and I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Hyundai Tucson gsi crtd 2005

3 star review

Despite claims of 39mpg, I have only ever achieved 30mpg - very disappointing especially with diesel prices as high as they are - i.e. fuel costs are higher by 25% based on the low mileage. Despite raising this several times with Arnold Clark I have been told everything is OK.

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GSI Petrol 2006

4 star review

Bought this car to replace our Mercedes A-Class following a cramped trip to Wales with three adults a dog and luggage ! The car is a dream and we bagged one with 16k on the clock and 3 years warranty for under £9,000. Huge space, really comfortable seats and a massive loadspace - fantastic ! It looks stylish and the spec is huge - electric windows, aircon, a superb stereo and plenty of nooks to store things - even a "curry hook" - they thought of everything ! Very smooth to drive and a great gearbox - makes the Vitara seem like a tank. Road noise and wind noise is there, but not much and the engine is very quiet. Don’t worry about reports about fuel cost - this one does about 30 mpg - better than most. A lot of good quality car for your money. If you are thinking of this car - just buy it !!!

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 gsi crtd 2007

5 star review

Bought new, after looking at the competition. Very well equipped, practical, spacious, comfortable, well suppressed wind/road noise, very easy to drive, pips to park, excellent turning circle, really well screwed together, and certainly NOT at all as described by What Car/Top Gear. Returns 35-40 mpg without trying, and I have no regrets whatsoever about buying it. Seems to be a very popular car ... and with good reason too. Unbeatable value, and I would recommend it without hesitation.

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRTD GSI 2WD 5dr 2007

4 star review

Very well priced and capable 4x4. Hyundai are definately starting to lose their stayed approach to their cars and coming up with some corkers, the Tuscon being no exception. I looked at several 4x4’s before settling on the Tuscon as it had everything I needed and didn’t try to package it up in an overly fancy package. Affordable running costs are also a major selling point. Just a really good car.
