Would you recommend a Tucson?

Missus has one and hasn't had to put much money or effort into it.

Lane assist can be a bit jerky but you'll get used to it in no time and can switch it off if you don't like it.

There was an issue with the 'tailgate strut', which keeps the boot lifted up in the air once you open it. One failed and had to be replaced. When I asked in the Hyundai garage if I could buy one, your man knew the model and year of the car without asking, so that's obviously a known fault. Replaced it myself with a couple of spanners for less than €40.

Only minor gripes I have are:

a) the satnav is a pain in the hole - You have to select everything in reverse order or it won't show up……e.g. if you're looking for Croke Park, you have to have Dublin 3 selected before you search for Jones' Road, or it will return zero results. Instead of typing "Jones road" and getting one in Galway, one in Wexford and one in Dublin, you just get no results because your previous search was in Wicklow and there are no Jones Roads in that county. If you're not sure what part of Dublin it's located in, or what county then tough sh1t.

b) the rear view mirror vibrates when you're accelerating

c) the upholstery gets stained very easily, get a leather one if you can and

d) too much touchscreen interaction instead of radial buttons….e.g. There is a warning when you hit the satnav or map button about "using this while driving is a distraction, please make sure that you are stopped before continuing further. Drivers are responsible for their own blah blah blah". You can only get rid of this by clicking the "I understand" button. The only time I've ever come close to being distracted enough by the satnav to the point where it affected my driving is when I have to take my eyes off the road to find that feckin button.

These are minor, though. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. The driving position is unreal.

I think this is just as the steering wheel goes through the centre i.e turning right to left, it's a known issue and easily fixed. No parts needed just some grease.

We have a 211, love the car but real issue with some of the sensors. It's been in 5 times from new with sensor issues, all different.

Check the windscreen as well, ours went and it took them 7 weeks to source a new one

Had one as a work vehicle.

It was a lemon from day 1.

Had another one as a work Vehicle.. was a lemon after a month.

Lots of them had no issues, but many did have problems with ECUs and clutch.

And we were waiting months for new ECUs.

Work stopped buying Tusons.
