This Newsgroup seems to be very light on Tucson ?'s. Does that mean there
aren't many of us out there? Or, is the Tucson not selling well?

I think the reason you don't see any posts is they are worry free! I have
not had ANY worries with mine so far..

Count me as another happy '06 Tucson owner, and as another Greg. Mine is a
GLS, AWD, automatic. I've had it since May, it has just gone through its
15,000 mile service, and I'm averaging 21mpg with the 6 cyl.

It's been great all winter. I love it.

My '07 Sonata with the Infinity 6 CD changer does. Of course, electronics
change every three days to something new so that may be the difference.

How many MPG's are you Tucson owners getting and with what size engine
? Do u find its big enough inside for your needs ? And...do u find the
acceleration to be adequate ? Thanks.

I have the V6 automatic and only get in the high teens driving about 75%
highway. The MPG is my only gripe. Acceleration is fine and we are very
pleased with its storage capacity and other hauling capabilities.

The question that immediately comes to my mind is how fast do you drive when
on the highway? Could also be that you are in a lot of stop and go traffic
when in the city?

High teens seems quite poor, especially when the EPA estimates for the FWD
and 4WD are 20/26 and 19/24, respecitively, city/highway.

I know mileage may vary, etc., but I've lived and worked at the same
places for quite some time and driven a variety of vehicles over that
period. In all cases except the Tucson, my mileage has averaged in the
upper end of the EPA range. For example my current other vehicle is
rated at 22-31 and I get 27. As you pointed out the Tucson is rated at
19-24. I've owned it since November of '05 and driven it 15,000 miles
with an average MPG of 18.

I've also got the V6 automatic, AWD, and I am averaging 21.5 mpg. I usually
put about 20,000 miles per year, combination city/highway. My Tucson is
currently at 17,000 miles. Acceleration is excellent and it is plenty big
enough for what I use it for.
