I am totally satisfied with mine. Had since the end of November. I use this forum to find answers to the usage of the enormous amount of features that I had not seen before and meet fellow drivers of the 2022 Tucson PHEV.
Ditto to everything!! I am picking up my second PHEV today... Its terribly cold out here today in BuffaloMy only real complaint is the current mileage, but I also understand that this will go up as the engine breaks-in.
I’m also not a big fan of the “paddle-style” radio controls on the steering wheel. I far prefer a rocker, or even just pushing a button IN vs up and down. This is a minor gripe, but combined with the fact that I have to push down to increment numbers/stations UP… is silly.
That said, I plan to replace our 2nd car with a second Tucson. I’m pretty happy with it overall, and I think it’s drop-dead gorgeous inside and out. I love just looking at it.
Well I have been hearing problems from the ones made in Alabama which are the gas models, The PHEV's all all imports and seem to have less problems, I really have no issues with either of mine one being a Limited and one the SEL model which are both PHEV'sGas. Limited
There definitely is a substantial learning curve. I take some solace in the fact that “learning new things” is a recommended best practice for healthy aging. (70 something here). That said, after 2 1/2 months and 2500 miles, I think the car is GREAT. Yesterday , in 5.5 hours of highway driving, the smart cruise control and lane keeping made for a much more relaxing trip. I must report that with those two systems operating the car drives better by itself than under my guidance.I have had no issues mechanically or electrically. The car runs and drives great. I think all new cars in general are just overly complicated to operate. Everything works, but with so many features (cruise, smart cruise, blue tooth, Android auto, Bluelink, door locks with funky designs, auto climate control, drive modes, digital dashboards, "infotainment" systems, and on and on,) there is a high learning curve to drive these cars especially for someone like me who hasn't owned a new car since 2006. There are a dozen buttons on the STEERING WHEEL for gosh sakes, not including the horn! I have bought at least 10 new cars in my 68 years and more used cards than I care to count, and this is the first car that I couldn't drive off the lot without literally having to be told how to turn the damn thing on and I am still learning how things work after 6 months of driving it. I'm happy with my new car but honestly, IMHO, my used 2006 CRV that I owned for 5 years without spending a penny on it except for gas and oil and is still being driven daily by my son, is a better car.
Most people who buy the gas model are uninspired drivers who probably wouldn't be bothered to join a car-specific forumSeems to be far less issues with gas models. At least according to posts on here. Do a search
disagree. There are many ICE members on here.Most people who buy the gas model are uninspired drivers who probably wouldn't be bothered to join a car-specific forum
