That's a really sharp ride! I got myself a 2014 Elantra Limited in a similar shade of blue...it definitely is an awesome color! Looks absolutely fantastic in the sun!
lol, yah she drove it home super slow. I was in my Z like COMMON lets go haha. Its just a key fob like my Z. No more key, as long as its In proximity, it starts right up!
Awesome! Congrats to your wife and you on the new ride. I was waiting for this video and now I'll be waiting for the first wash and wax video for it too, lol!
yup, soon im sure. They put the initial meguiars stuff on it. Ill wait awhile before I go over it, though I might clay it to show just how bad brand new cars can need attention!
I got this car in October, limited model in silver. I got all wheel drive since I live in PA and have snow to deal with. I love everything about it except the mpg but I knew that would suffer with all wheel drive. I have a short commute to work so it doesn't matter too much. I noticed when you turn on the heat, AC or defroster it automatically goes up to a high fan speed and you have to turn it down unless you want it that high. Strange. But it's a great car.
oh don't remind me! Now she wants to be all careful with it etc....finally. However I still have to clean it etc. But, at least shes finally parking a mile away like I do with my cars:)
Yup, I know right? If I didn't find my Z, I was going to buy a Genesis Coupe instead. We got into the New 15 Genesis sedan and Equus last night....mind blowing quality and luxury. Love em.
Acc0rd79 Man, I've been eyeballing the Genesis sedan and Equus for awhile now (not that I can afford it). They look so classy and executive, haha. My family has always had Japanese cars, but I have a feeling whenever it comes time to purchase a new car, I'll be considering some of these Korean options!
Katsu Ito yah, don't overlook them. Hondas/Toyota have made uglier and uglier cars the last 10 plus years. Also, seems like their quality is going down as well, a bit cheaper than they used to be. When the Sonata was going head to head and beating the camry for awhile there in sales, you know theres a problem. It ended up in 3rd for the year but hey, that's one HUGE jump up to be right behind Honda/Toyota.
That's so true! The prices on Japanese cars seem to be going up while their quality seems to be either staying the same or going down. I admit, they're coming back to where they used to be nowadays but the years they didn't improve dramatically have let the Koreans catch up (or exceed) them!
Wow. I really like it! ! Especially this nice fully loaded one. There's a base model 2013 Tucson a relative owns, and honestly, it's not a bad little car.
Diflexster12 she scared to pull it in there next to the Z so most of the time it will just sit in the driveway by the front door where her old car was. My white car is there now.
I love the color man, it's beautiful,and glad to hear that your wife was satisfied, she even liked the color of your honda, she got her self the same!!! jajaja XD
She loved the blue, all her car so its her choice! My Hondas car is Electron blue pearl, a bit lighter and sometimes has a hint of purple. Shes in love with her car!
Great review, I'm close to buying one of these. An issue I have is the beige interior I don't like. They don't make the blue one with any other color interior. The only missing feature is blind spot alerts. Otherwise love this car. Like the sportage too. Keep up the good videos!
ctflocco well the backup camera is great for people nervous of backing up this but its no issues to see around, I don't even look at the camera many times as none of my cars have them.
I agree the blind spot alert isn't a big deal, just noticed the cx-5, rogue, and rav4 all have it or at least their highest trims do. So hard to choose a car in this segment, many competitive options.
Thanks for this video man. My mom is considering this car even in 2018. This one looks amazing though and blue is my favorite color. My brother and I will help her get it if she chooses this one over the 2010 Toyota Highlander. I guess it comes down to a larger older Toyota vs a newer, smaller Hyundai. We will see what happens. Again, very nice car ;-)
drive both, and shop around. We contact all dealers in the area and just ask for their best price and then email the lowest price back to them and if they can beat it we go to that dealer to buy!
I sold my Honda Civic 2012 for a new Hyundai Tucson 2015 Limited Edition. Had hard time to adjust in steering wheel, its kinda hard compared to Honda Civic or CRV, Hyundai should give importance to this issue. Otherwise its the best compact SUV.
Hey man you should review this product that's only 1$ at 99cents store its called la's totally awesome cleaner degreaser and spot remover its actually pretty good
Hey now, I gotta save some of that for me! IT has some meguiars stuff on it now. I might hit it with the Gold class though. Carnuba really makes the darker colors just come to life. However, shes always at work so I might see the car much.
Yah, I think it will treat my wife good for many years to come! We bought the added 10 year warranty on all parts too. The Hyundai standard warranty is 10years on engine and transmission alone, inside parts are like 3 years, Computers 5 years. WE paid for all 10 years on ALL parts haha. Were not gonna get rid of it for many years to come!
I cant decide witch car i should pick 2014 hyundai tucsu or 2015 mazda cx 5 ? I like those cars a lot...soon im gonna buy but firs i have to pick with suv xd
Mati12ful it will all come down to looks but Hyundai's looks have been getting better and better and imo look even better than Honda/Toyotas right now.
yah buddy, she showed it to me on the ipad the night before I checked it out. Saw it in person and was like DAMN! I love a great blue. I love my Electron blue pearl on my old Honda prelude. Ive had a few blue cars myself. If the Daytona blue was still an option on our 370z cars, I woulda bought it instead of red. I didn't like that light blue they have now.
I like the blue on the 370z when it's polished up. The dark blue that they have now is also a nice color. I think the blue on that hyundai would look amazing on the Z.
not a single problem at all:) Ok here is what I do, I go online and email every single dealer within 50 miles of me the exact same email, tell them to send me their lowest offer and told them I was doing this to all the local dealers so give me their best. Then after each one responded, I took the lowest offer and re-emailed all of them with the email the other dealer sent me and then the one who beat it is who we bought from.
Okay.... two years in, what is the verdict on this Tucson? My wife and I are looking at a 2014 Tucson right now and would be interested in your thoughts. Good, bad, and otherwise. We live over near New Port Richey. Thanks for your impending reply. Peace, John
It's a great car! Sorry we were out of state. This SUV is about to get traded in as we need a minivan now with a kid. Nothing wrong with it at all just need the room and regular SUV's are cutting it anymore for us. If Hyundai still had a minivan, we would consider trading this car in for one!
I am curious to know which minivan you got because I like that you guys chose the Tucson over the competition. Did you choose the Kia Sedona as your new minivan?
Did you test out the Honda CRV before buying that?? I'm buying one or the other soon. Can't decide. I'm 6ft 220lbs.... The CRV seems to have more room for me??
falcondriver100 no, this is for my wife. She was a Hyundai owner before our wreck we got into earlier this year and the insurance totaled out her car. I have owned many a Honda in the past but I feel their quality and looks have taken a massive nose dive since the early 2000's so I don't mind trying the Hyundai and it works great. I'm 5'10" and have no issues at all and the seat lowers you know:)
Acc0rd79 Thanks for the info. I hate to hear that about the Honda's. I have an 02 Civic I bought new and it now has 156,000 miles on it. Never needed anything but oil changes, tires, brakes and of course the timing belt. That's why I wanted to stick with the Honda's. Reliable as hell!
falcondriver100 Ive had 4 Hondas but since the early 2000s when they went to bland generic designs, the quality has also started to slip. There was a big deal against the old CEO of Honda from the 80's/90s who talked about the current CEO saying you are letting Honda go downhill, somewhere on the internet! I own a 370z now, still 100% Japanese made and its solid as hell:) Still, we have put over 8k on this Hyundai now and no issues whatsoever!
no way! The power is too easy to get away from and want to show off. My first car was an 88 Hyundai Excel, like 100hp haha. Then I went to a Chevy Beretta and it had about 160hp. The Z is so easy to get the tail loose with, its ridiculous. So much power you can get into trouble very fast.
I use to have this car but just got rid of it, I found it drove way to harsh, you feel every bump in the road and the cabin was really noisy. The way everything was made of this hard plastic didn’t help ether, it was a really reliable car though.
No, this is the wifes car and she likes it just the way it is. This is her first "big" car....lol so shes trying to adjust to driving it still though she said its easy. Was too scared of a full sized SUV. Said the new big santa fe sort of scared her.
Nice SUV....now that your wife has a new vehicle. Are you going to use the new car kit from maguiars and long before you will start claying and waxing?
it has that stock meguiars stuff on it, but maybe in a month or so ill go over it good! Its gotta go in tomorrow to get the windshield replaced. It was straight scratched at the dealer like a foot long scratch into the glass! Like wow, new. He said they get cars in with parts broken straight off the boat etc. Sad but they didn't have another fully loaded one in blue there so we woulda had to wait. So this was easier, they fixed all damage of course free of charge.
Hyundai isn't the 80s and 90s Hyundai anymore. Quality and resale value has skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Ive had loads of Hondas and I feel they are going downhill somewhat and their looks have tanked heavily in the last 10 plus years now.
That's a really sharp ride! I got myself a 2014 Elantra Limited in a similar shade of blue...it definitely is an awesome color! Looks absolutely fantastic in the sun!
AYYYEEE! The moment you first feel those keys in your hand! One day....i will experience this phenomenon lol
lol, yah she drove it home super slow. I was in my Z like COMMON lets go haha. Its just a key fob like my Z. No more key, as long as its In proximity, it starts right up!
Technology is sweet, i can only imagine your frustration in the z LOL but i would drive the same if my car was literally that spanking new! :D
Awesome! Congrats to your wife and you on the new ride. I was waiting for this video and now I'll be waiting for the first wash and wax video for it too, lol!
yup, soon im sure. They put the initial meguiars stuff on it. Ill wait awhile before I go over it, though I might clay it to show just how bad brand new cars can need attention!
Very nice car! You got a great deal. Hope the car lasts for years to come!!! :)
yah, I mean if it wasn't for the very minor accident in her accent, she would still be driving it!
I got this car in October, limited model in silver. I got all wheel drive since I live in PA and have snow to deal with. I love everything about it except the mpg but I knew that would suffer with all wheel drive. I have a short commute to work so it doesn't matter too much. I noticed when you turn on the heat, AC or defroster it automatically goes up to a high fan speed and you have to turn it down unless you want it that high. Strange. But it's a great car.
yah, my wife loves hers. she has about 10k miles on it now. she gets about 28mpg it shows on the highway.
BEAUTIFUL color! Congrats on the new car!
Yah, she picked it all out. She loves it! Thanks.
Wow its beautiful! I bet the with this larger vehicle cleaning and detailing will take longer
oh don't remind me! Now she wants to be all careful with it etc....finally. However I still have to clean it etc. But, at least shes finally parking a mile away like I do with my cars:)
Acc0rd79 haha! Right!
I also love the way dealerships leave that long lasting shine on the tires with new vehicle's!
Congrats on the new car! I hope you guys enjoy it! I admit, these new Hyundais are looking REALLY good.
Yup, I know right? If I didn't find my Z, I was going to buy a Genesis Coupe instead. We got into the New 15 Genesis sedan and Equus last night....mind blowing quality and luxury. Love em.
Acc0rd79 Man, I've been eyeballing the Genesis sedan and Equus for awhile now (not that I can afford it). They look so classy and executive, haha.

Acc0rd79 OMG the equus is pure luxury i love it! If you actually bought it that would've been SICK!!! :D
Congrats to the both of you. Happy and safe driving :)
Yah, ill tell her to baby that thing:)
Thanks for this review! Extremely helpful.
+Rebecca Terefe glad to help
I have a 2014 Tuscon GLS, the same color and i love it. My previous car was a 2008 hyundai Santa Fe
It was a solid SUV till we bought a minivan because we needed more room.
Wow. I really like it! ! Especially this nice fully loaded one. There's a base model 2013 Tucson a relative owns, and honestly, it's not a bad little car.
yah, Hyundai has really taken a 180! I was shocked but the wife already had a Hyundai and wanted another. Her car, her choice!
I love seeing those flakes/crystals in the paint!
Yup, so sexy in the sun! I love it.
Acc0rd79 especially the new paint with no scratches and such! It really does make me stare lol
Diflexster12 yah, its parked next to the Z right now In the garage, my blue prelude is kicked out in the driveway for now.
lol that's what happened when my older sister got her first car she insisted we keep it in the garage because it was going to get stolen. XD
Diflexster12 she scared to pull it in there next to the Z so most of the time it will just sit in the driveway by the front door where her old car was. My white car is there now.
I love the color man, it's beautiful,and glad to hear that your wife was satisfied, she even liked the color of your honda, she got her self the same!!! jajaja XD
She loved the blue, all her car so its her choice! My Hondas car is Electron blue pearl, a bit lighter and sometimes has a hint of purple. Shes in love with her car!
congratulations on your purchase!
Yup, she picked out an excellent car for her daily use!
Sharp looking car, hope your wife likes it!
Nice video!! Did u get the white lude fixed?
Yup, picked it up right before our cruise, 911 dollars later....uggh haha
Yes, we DO need to see the back seats folded down! :)
Great review, I'm close to buying one of these. An issue I have is the beige interior I don't like. They don't make the blue one with any other color interior. The only missing feature is blind spot alerts. Otherwise love this car. Like the sportage too. Keep up the good videos!

Do you still own it?? We got a 2014 limited in white and its like a twin to yours. I love ours.
I sold my Honda Civic 2012 for a new Hyundai Tucson 2015 Limited Edition. Had hard time to adjust in steering wheel, its kinda hard compared to Honda Civic or CRV, Hyundai should give importance to this issue. Otherwise its the best compact SUV.
I love my Tucson 2014!!!!!
Hey man you should review this product that's only 1$ at 99cents store its called la's totally awesome cleaner degreaser and spot remover its actually pretty good
Congrats on the new car! You gotta hit that with some Souveran.
Hey now, I gotta save some of that for me! IT has some meguiars stuff on it now. I might hit it with the Gold class though. Carnuba really makes the darker colors just come to life. However, shes always at work so I might see the car much.
Acc0rd79 Just sayin........ Husky Liners or Weathertech
Well, good luck with the car :)
Yah, I think it will treat my wife good for many years to come! We bought the added 10 year warranty on all parts too.

Mati12ful it will all come down to looks but Hyundai's looks have been getting better and better and imo look even better than Honda/Toyotas right now.
Hope you enjoy the extra hours detailing it , it takes me about 3 hours to fully detail my Tahoe
well shes at work most of the day so I only see the car really on the weekends! haha
great color!
yah buddy, she showed it to me on the ipad the night before I checked it out. Saw it in person and was like DAMN! I love a great blue. I love my Electron blue pearl on my old Honda prelude.

I bought one this last week 15000 miles 2015 model it’s orange I love it
Please tell me how you got them down that much off of sticker? And have you had a problems out of this model? Been looking at one.
not a single problem at all:) Ok here is what I do, I go online and email every single dealer within 50 miles of me the exact same email, tell them to send me their lowest offer and told them I was doing this to all the local dealers so give me their best.

Im 6ft 1inch 260lbs.. my wife has a tucson 2012... i fit fine... pretty decent room overall...
Would u recommended a nissan 370z as a first car
no way! The power is too easy to get away from and want to show off. My first car was an 88 Hyundai Excel, like 100hp haha. Then I went to a Chevy Beretta and it had about 160hp. The Z is so easy to get the tail loose with, its ridiculous. So much power you can get into trouble very fast.
Acc0rd79 Very True, very true your logic is 100% (no lie)
Congrats drive her in good health
Im sure she will:) Its sitting in the garage next to my Z right now! haha
I use to have this car but just got rid of it, I found it drove way to harsh, you feel every bump in the road and the cabin was really noisy. The way everything was made of this hard plastic didn’t help ether, it was a really reliable car though.
:) Drive a true sports car and tell me the hyundai rides rough:) hehe
I've had rav 4 in mind for a long while buh I'm contemplating to go for the tucson 2012 model.... Need an experience car guy for advice
I thought it was Tucson as in Tuckson but I only now realized it is really 2son lol :)
Kamaal Wellens lol nope, just tuscon, no K in it at all. Its just like the city in Arizona.
ok cool, thanks
I’ve got an orange one of these 2015 model only has 25700 miles an elderly couple owned it before me I’ve had it 6 months
Good deal, we sold it after just 2 years and change and bought the Minivan as we had the growing family needs.
Looks nice
it was a great small SUV till we had to trade it to buy the bigger minivan for the family.
congrats to you and your wife. I hope you made them throw in that meguiar's sealant in for you guys rather than pay $400 for a dealer wax job.
yah did you see that sticker 31k and change with their adons? We got them talked down to 26,554. that's a HUGE gap they are charging! Sheesh.
Acc0rd79 are you going to tint the front windows on this car?
No, this is the wifes car and she likes it just the way it is. This is her first "big" car....lol so shes trying to adjust to driving it still though she said its easy. Was too scared of a full sized SUV. Said the new big santa fe sort of scared her.
love that blue ....I'm looking at one for me...you did good thanx
I can see ^^, i mean who wouldn't, tell your wife for me good grad's on her new car ^•^/
love it
lupita martin thanks, she does too!
Nice SUV....now that your wife has a new vehicle. Are you going to use the new car kit from maguiars and long before you will start claying and waxing?
it has that stock meguiars stuff on it, but maybe in a month or so ill go over it good! Its gotta go in tomorrow to get the windshield replaced. It was straight scratched at the dealer like a foot long scratch into the glass! Like wow, new. He said they get cars in with parts broken straight off the boat etc. Sad but they didn't have another fully loaded one in blue there so we woulda had to wait. So this was easier, they fixed all damage of course free of charge.
Are you sure your wife didn't want a hot pink mustang lol
lol! Nope, she actually picked this out from start to finish. Color and all, I just said, get whatever you want! Your the rich one;)
Acc0rd79 Maybe i should go to medical school too, or UPS....hmmmm
Diflexster12 med school pays WAAAAAY more than UPS. Though UPS pays pretty darn good.
Yeah i googled it and it is pretty darn good!
I would personally go with another brand but nevertheless great vehicle for 26k
Hyundai isn't the 80s and 90s Hyundai anymore. Quality and resale value has skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Ive had loads of Hondas and I feel they are going downhill somewhat and their looks have tanked heavily in the last 10 plus years now.
Toyota and Nissan are better brands than Honda. Whereas Hyundai is true value for money. I say it pocket rocket.
Can I have the car now? Please..
we sold it a year and a half ago.
What do u do? JEEZ
BARBAROS OZKAN work, its the wife's car so its the wife and her job paying for it;)
Acc0rd79 oh ok thx
