Hyundai Tucson Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Hyundai Tucson rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Hyundai Tucson reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Hyundai Tucson--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Hyundai Tucson Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Hyundai Tucson repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Hyundai Tucson Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Hyundai Tucson's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Hyundai Tucson's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Hyundai Tucson Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Hyundai Tucson's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Hyundai Tucson, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Hyundai Tucson?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Tucson--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Hyundai Tucson review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Hyundai Tucson Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Hyundai Tucson tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Hyundai Tucson--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
