I want to purchase the 2007 Hyundai Tucson but someone said I should not cos it is a awful car. Is this true?
I do not know anything about cars and will really appreciate if the car gurus could tell me the benefits and disadvantages, if any of owning the Tucson.

I have owned Hyundai's since 1997 and haven't had any of the problems, that I have had with American cars. By the way Hyundai has a 100,000 mile ten year warranty. Ask the other car dealers will they give you the same without charging you. By the way the person giving you tell most likely do not know anything about cars either.

If you are desperate for a car and can not pay for anything else then get it and deal with the issues that its going to get you. If you have money then I wouldnt reccomend you to get it. Hyundais are recognized to be problematic. They assert that they are not anymore but I still see new hyundais at the junkyard. I could reccomend that you get something dependable like a Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4, GMC Acadia, Chevy Equinox, or Pontiac Torrent

I have a 2003 Hyundai. it's and was dependable with now 47,000 miles on it. I drive it fast and hard and don't worry if I tear it up as I only have three other cars and part ownership in another. It doesn't use oil, is better built then my American made cars if there's such a thing as an American made car . While it has a small V6 engine, it's faster than some V8 engines does make them mad when you out run them . The 2007 Hyundai is better built then my 2003 and I could not hesitate to purchase another one and most probably will. If you like one and want to purchase, do so. While some say they deprecate to swiftly, keep in mind you did not pay as much for it and them check other cars. My American car is worth little now and deprecated fast, they all do regardless what kind of car.

who says hyundais are awful cars these days? There are so many articles and awards for hyundai's success, and they're great great cars. I believe they have increased to any japanese maker's level back in 03 or 04. they're just to get better and better every year.

Here is some tell from a former Hyundai mechanic who is a Kia mechanic. purchase a Kia. The Sportage is the same car as the Tucson and costs a lot less. Oh, it has the ten year 100,000 mile warranty too free .

Buy the Tucson with confidence, presuming of course, that it meets your needs. Change the oil, follow the maintenance schedule to the letter, and you will have a nice clean car for the next 100K. The Hyundai basher isn't correct in his statements.

Last year we were in the market for a new car. Our niece's new husband was a service manager at a Hyundai dealership. They were happy with their Hyundai car and Santa Fe SUV. So I started looking at Hyundai's and decided that the Tuscon was more suited for us than the Santa Fe. Bought it at what I think was a nice price. It has lots of safety features. It has a comparatively simple V6 engine. The auto transmission is a little less advanced than some, I do not think it will include an overdrive which could be nice. But the car runs strong, carries a full load without problems and delivers over 25 mpg. It has a good factory warranty. I think we made a good choice and I could recomend it to anybody else in the market for an SUV

no offense, but whoever that's, you have a person who does not know anything about brand and a car. Hyundai Tucson is the top quality in small SUV in the world. And I think the way your friend said was that maybe he like like big and muscle car?? well if you like this small cars, then Tucson will be right for you. oh and advantage is that : small, good mileage, top quality, and dependability. drawback is :small, low hp, and not enough room well hope this helps

Hyundai is kickass. they have been named "The Next Toyota or Honda." I owned two Hyundais and my dad owned a Sonata since 2002 and my mom just bought the Entourage, and we LOVE them. they are comfy, spacious, and great on gas. they are pretty cheap but certainly do not seem that way. I could certainly at least test drive it and talk to someone at the dealership before making a call on it.

I just bought a 2007 Hyundai Accent. Did lots of research 1st. I just do not think you may be able to go wrong with any Hyundai and their warranty is the best at ten years/100,000 mile
