Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 80 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and service brakes; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

At 9.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. For 1,000 km, budget about $147.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Tucson

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Good uses for the Tucson

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Tucson for a week and see how it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.73 in fuel.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
