The Tucson continues to show its potential as a viable alternative to the ubiquitous Honda CR-V, what with its roomy interior, comfortable ride, and impressive fuel economy all wrapped in an attractive, affordable package.

This is a really nicely designed set of controls that have proven both simple and effective and rest roughly at the 9 and 3 positions, making it easy for thumbs to reach and operate."
