Great features, nerfed by too much "nannying". Reliability not great.
There is a lot to like about the Tucson. It is attractive and feature rich. The base engine is weak, but ride and handling are excellent. However, some of it's best features are nerfed by what I can only describe as "nannying". The remote auto-start, which is great to get the AC started on a hot day, will only work for 30 seconds before the car shuts off, which is not enough time to cool things down. Plus, you have to lock the car (even if it's already locked) to get it to work. Too much button pushing! The car always seems to be locking itself and/or making loud, ear-splitting beeping noises at you if you don't do exactly what "nanny" wants. It's obnoxious, and per my dealer, by design! Also have had too many reliability issues - catalytic converter, tailgate struts broken (probably because the door was auto shutting on me and beeping as I unloaded it and I had to strong arm it to stop). Fortunately, it has a long warranty. Overall, a lot of potential here, but between the reliability and nannying, I would not buy this car again.
