If you are looking to keep the car 5+ years it doesn’t matter if it is a 06 or a 07. From what I can tell there is barely a difference between the two with exception to a few new colors.
 
Hyundai is also offering a rebate on the 06 now:
GLS V6 and Limited V6 - $1500
GL 4 cyl - $1000
 
There is also special financing as well on the 06.
 
I personally would go for the 06 if you are looking to keep the car until the wheels fall off. With the 2007 coming onto the lots, they are more willing to negotiate on their current inventory and you can get the rebate.

Does anyone know, or have an idea, on what the rebate amount will be tomorrow (November) for the 2006 Tuscon GLS? It's $1500 right now, but I'm thinking it could only go up tomorrow. IMO it wouldn't make sense for it to go down. But maybe my thinking is wrong. I'm about to close a deal today, but maybe I should wait until tomorrow.

Extended warranty by thunderbird

I just bought a extended warranty today with my new tucson. At first I thought it was a waste of money buying a 10 year bumper to bumper warranty even though it comes with a 5 year B to B and 10 year powertrain. I was told the cost was $1,800 something. Anybody else buy one and I would be interested in knowing how much it cost you. I have 60 days to keep or cancel the policy. Any input would be helpful.

Thunderbird- Extended warranty by chyanna

Hi! I purchased an extended warranty in June when I brought my Tucson. I live in NY and was quoted 1500 and change.
I told the FI guy that I wanted it, but no way in hell I was going to pay that. I told him I’d give him $700. He gasped as if I was crazy. Before he could say anything I said “Look I did my homework, we both know you didn’t pay 1500 for that policy. I’m not going over 800. If I don’t buy it here I’ll buy it at another dealership.”
 
He gave it to me for $800.
 
I usually keep my cars for a while so I feel a warranty from the car manufacturer is worth it. In addition is has no deductible and if you choose to sell the car/trade it in, it will help enhance the resale value slightly because it is transferable to the new owner.
 
Best of luck with you new Tucson. I love mine.

I was just quoted $900 from our dealer yesterday. I haven't seen the actual papers though. I am buying a 2007 GLS FWD. I wasn't sure if a warranty is worth it. I already have AAA roadside.

Is 4WD for real by fbyers

I just bought a new 2006 4WD V6 Tucson. I really like the car. The owner’s manual states the when the 4WD lock button is pushed. The setup begins to get cancelled when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h and completely releases at 40 km/h. This is only 20 mph to 25 mph. In my opinion this not 4WD. If I am driving on the highway and one of my front tires slips or spins will my rear wheels engage at speeds greater than 25 mph.

The 4WD lock is for deep snow/mud conditions.. It locks in 4WD at all times, even when it isn't needed..It is only for extreme circumstances. The reason it becomes inoperable at high speeds is that long term use could damage your vehicle.
 
  Your 4WD system will still operate normally, when the lock isn't being used.. If the front wheels slip, power will shift to the rear.
 
I see you posted in the general Hyundai Tuscon discussion, as well.. Someone there will probably chime in with specific details of how your particular system works.

No Meaasges on the Tucson by klamath

I am trying to make a decision on which SUV to purchase. I have test driven the Santa Fe and the Tucson among lots of others. I thought that it was narrowed down to the Escape/Mariner or the Santa Fe. Today while I when for another test drive in the Santa Fe I also drove the Tucson. My wife and I both like the Tucson and the Santa Fe. We have an elder parent living with us now and I think the Tucson would be a little easier to get in and out of.
 
When I came home I checked the Tucson and Santa Fe discussions. While there are lots of discussions on the Santa Fe and the Kia Sportage there is almost nothing on the Tucson. Can anyone help?

Hi,
 
I'll have my Tucson a year in June and I love it.I purchased the Limited with all the bells and whistles, it is just a great car to drive.
I've talked to a number of owners before and after buying, and they were all pleased with their purchase. As with all vehicles it has its pros and cons.
 
The major complaints I have heard repeatedly about the Tucson is that the stock tires wear out quickly and that it can be very thirsty in heavy stop and go driving situations. I didn’t feel either one was a deal breaker because 99% of the time stock tires are horrible and any V6 is going to drink gas in very urban stop and go driving conditions. Personally, I feel the gas mileage is on par for this type of vehicle with a V6. I always say if you are really concerned about gas mileage, get a 4cylinder car.
 
My personal take on the Tucson is as follows:
The Tucson drives wonderfully in all kinds of conditions. I driven in nor’easters and heavy snow and the Tucson preformed great! Side note, I do use dedicated winter tires so that helped a little. The visibility is excellent. It is very easy to maneuver in tight spots. Its lay out is very thoughtful and has a ton of storage compartments. The Back seats flip down easily and provide a perfectly flat loading surface WITHOUT the need of removing the front headrest. I LOVE the wiper deicers, so if you live in a place where you get snow and ice and park outside, get them. I’m also a huge fan of the seat warmers. Its step in height makes it easy for everyone to get in and out of it. Everything works as it should and it did not cost me a fortune to. On top of it all it has a great warrantee.
 
As far as how quiet the forum is, I like to think it is because no one is having any real major complaints about the vehicle. Furthermore, Santa Fe was just significantly remolded this year and it larger, so more people are attracted to it. The Kia Sportage is also another redesigned so it might have more of a following and if I’m not mistaken, I think it might be a wee cheaper and has a different look than the Tucson.
 
I did a google search for "Tucson drivers" and found an international community that had a lot of information and opinions. (I’m not sure if I am allowed to give the actual website here.) Give that a try.
 
Good luck in your decision
