Amazing gas mileage with the 2.5 engine.
The Tucson is an excellent buy in just about every way. Some have complained about its acceleration, but I find it just fine. Most vehicles like this are going to have to compromise between gas mileage and power. And gas mileage is where the 2.5 engine really shines. I consistently get 31.5 overall, and 36-38 on the highway. This is well above the EPA's estimates for this car. Cons? The rear cargo light is rather dim, and the base model seats in my car could use a little more padding. Other than that, I have nothing but praise for this car.
