The Hyundai Tucson is a good car very reliable My friends have one never had a problem I have the Hyundai Santa Fe I've recently got it runs fantastic and doesn't seem like it was taking care of two great not as good as I would take care of my cars but it still runs unbelievably smooth and great I have friends with brand new cars only a year old and my car sounds better and smoother than their cars just make sure it had regular maintenance done and was taken care of like regular oil changes If you're giving it from a private owner ask questions normally younger people tend to be on cars a little more and do less maintenance not always but more often younger people do less maintenance and beat on the cars a little bit more then responsible or older adults
