In their own words

I feel totally confident taking the Tuscon any where on long trips. The only minor discomfort is the sharpish edge of the centre console which can dig into your left leg if you rest against it on a long trip. Parking is a little awkward - see previous comments. I've had the car for 11 years and there's no rust whatsoever. The front headlamp plastic covers are getting a bit glazed. There's no reason to change it at present.

How reliable do you find the car?

Jubilee clip on radiator hose rusted away. Sun roof rubber rotted - both fixed by dealer free of charge.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Ample leg room for a 6ft 3" driver - opposition take note. Comfortable ride and driving position for long trips. Turning circle could be improved for getting into supermarket car parks. Bonnet lines are deceptive tending to make you not park straight ! Boot adequate. Diesel fuel economy perhaps could be a little better. Totally reliable starting.
