Great ride; entertainment system needs tweaks
A lot of thought went into designing the Tucson, but there's a point where it was overthought. While the ride quality and visibility and lane safety features are excellent for a non-luxury brand, there's not enough power in the 6-cylinder; combined with a 6-cylinder's gas mileage, we should not have let the dealer talk us out of waiting for a hybrid to come available. The cool-looking interior screen system is a bit overdone: While logging in as separate drivers saves your climate settings and the radio channels each individual marked as "favorites," it doesn't save "favorites" as the default setting and doesn't remember seat positions, plus switching between phone input and radio input can be awkward at times, and having two listed drivers with their phones' Bluetooth on can confuse it. Even though this is smaller than the Santa Fe and the Palisade, we find it to be roomy enough for the four of us, though luggage and carry-ons for four can max out the hatch. This has been smooth and reliable for us. No weird noises or minor issues that have needed any fixing so far.
