2011 Hyundai Tucson Review - FLDetours

[moderndesignworks]

I was test driving the new Volester a few weeks ago, the steering felt exactly the same, rubbery and snaps back all the time. It doesn't feel good, but the car looked gorgeous inside out! Test drive it, maybe you wouldn't mind the steering as much as I do.

[PhillyCopsAreCorrupt]

@lynch5552933 You accuse me of being a "troll", then sanctimoniously post an inflammatory comment on my channel to which you (falsely) believe that I cannot reply. Also, I am hardly a "scumbag" because Philadelphia pig trash robbed and otherwise victimized me, and then falsely arrested me to cover it up. Several pigs from their station have since been arrested for (surprise!) robberies and false arrests, amongst other felonies. Perhaps it is you who should "get your facts straight".

[robins1818]

Awsome car..

[doctorsizzle]

great review.

for the folks who criticize him...THEY need to get striked across the face.

Great review. Not sure where the mean youtube comments came from. They seem kinda random.

[protocol23]

Mr. Richard P. about the slamming of the back door, you can try to open a window or another door before closing the back door, that way you dont need to slam it down. I guess it has something to do with air.

[megkamille]

I have a 2011 tucson and I absolutely LOVE it but I have NEVER EVER EVER GOT MORE THAN 19 MPG.

[wsoxman]

Excellent report from a nice guy. To many punks on Utube

[kansolis]

Lovely car for young professionals!!!

[TaladagaCockknocker]

GSP gave this guy a phone call!

[onlykts]

Do you think American cars are best they are the worst but what can we do something there no way just to buy them. Japan and Korian cars are mush better than some American cars.

[mythical1artist]

Awesome video! I still think a terrain is better. More pricy sure, but better room, technology, and mpg.

[peanutblondie]

There's nothing wrong with this guy. I don't know why people are making mean comments about him. It was a pretty good review. I like the way he talks.

[islandluc]

talk, talk, and without show me the interior of the vehicle

[esposed]

Really great review! This host did an excellent job at being insightful and funny, it has me looking up more FLDetours reveiws.

[MrComparan]

"aka were idiots"?, dont you mean; in other words, were idiots?

[lovely8amar]

ammmmm i dont like it

[lynch5552933]

This guy has a punchable face....... xD

[MakeupNSkincare4Men]

@lynch5552933 - He might need to work on his sparse eyebrows

[TheSpawnofSkynyrd]

I bought this car. Great Technology...Drive computer malfunctions frequently...Brake assist is annoying.

...I'm already looking to trade it in for a Subaru Forester...

...4 months after I bought it.

[Travide]

@TheSpawnofSkynyrd yeah dont feel bad I have one the moment I drove it of the lot heat didnt work, few weeks later driver seat broke, then belt squeaks so bad its shameful to start up and drive around, also a month ago my brakes fail got in an accident, Hyundai said it is normal for the brakes to freeze a fail on me GREAT and after all that Hyundai told me excuses, and I am now contacting there Headquarters, still no anwsers o yeah and the great warranty is only great until u need it then

[TheSpawnofSkynyrd]

@Travide - Keep pressing them. Don't give up. Hyundai needs to know that their car is not picture perfect. I kept pressing and ended up getting an extended warranty for no charge.  Granted, I would have rather exchanged the car for a Santa Fe, but I'll live with the warranty. I may keep the SUV, may trade it in this August for a Subaru Forester or Honda Element.

[703D94R]

se parece a nissan qashqai (rogue en america) tienen algo que ver? son de la misma familia o son la competencia directa?? aquí en México no tenemos estas SUV por favor tráiganlas!!

[DragonSorceress50]

So... uh, HOW qualified is this guy for the job?

[coldplay9982]

i bought this xar 2 weeks ago 28k with panoram roof very cool i love my car

[KATHRINPAVONuh]

Be Happy with Asian bride *lushfmlk.info*

[Theobieze]

i dont like this guy n hes not funny, the only thing keeping me from leaving is the car

[whatever0481]

im not quite sure about "monster" thingy...

[gobaruba9]

Demented punkers, some of ya got spoilt by Corvett, or, Rambodicky?, If Hyundai makes such stupid glamor cars at the prices, they will produce 2 times better & sensible machine.. When 11.5 sec. to 100Kmh is sufficient for everyday reality,, Hyundai's range is 5~7.5sec. mostly now, What the use with more than that ?, U vandal savages burning tires, endangering people, It's quite a feat, eh? Oh Ye!,,Very impressive!, Lead footed idiots, toddlers may do it if leg is long enough

[PQPblog]

1:34 3:36 yeah man! yeah!

[subzero92MK]

the rear looks familiar to another car but i don't remember the name of it

[zeesh181]

@subzero92MK the rear side is a copy of 2010 Nissan Murano

[subzero92MK]

@zeesh181 yeah that's it dude!

[TheSpawnofSkynyrd]

@zeesh181 you mean the Nissan Rogue. Those cars are identical.

[UrbanQuick]

I agree with everything he says about the Tucson. I bought one 2 months ago; GL trim. However i disagree about the brakes, I think they work fine; NO WHERE NEAR a BMW's but.. thats in a totally different league.

Hyundai is really stepping up their game (notice sonata and tucson).

When I first test drove the car i thought it was going to be mushy. Some will say that this is on the firmer side; I agree.

Test drive it and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

rav4 has more trunk space

[gobaruba9]

@UrbanQuick , sneak farting Jap dog again, You dingo own this tucson ? What's tech term engines classified?, what valve, timing gear called ? what optional turbo called ?, Brake is just fine ? Fk U dirty sucker, No where near BMW?, stick yo shit head into cow pile, M,fucker, BMW is not a contender,it's just old time sleak machine, they cant match Hyundai 's all new array of technology & refinement with the pricing ?, BMW got impossible obstacle to win over, jerk

[UrbanQuick]

@gobaruba9 ahem..... relax, you misunderstood me. when i said "no where near a bmw's" I meant BMW's is better... take a chill pill. there wont be a day any time soon where a hyundai will rival the 3 germans in quality or engineering...

[gobaruba9]

@UrbanQuick Nissan is all for flaky skin deep performance, like fluffy BMW, but costing owners arms & legs for maintenance & repair bills, K-cars are practical & smart,, no, non-sense brag show offs,, ps: Only the brawn idiot punks are all for a bit more of stupid drag race point, Listen now all ye brutal ignorants,, Performance+ sensible fuel economy +durability +reliability =Korean cars

[zjumps33]

@gobaruba9 never seen a Korean car with any performance besides the genesis. all they are is a budget car that gets you from point A to point B, no more no less. Not impressed with any Korean cars breaks are mushy, gas throttle is unresponsive on all their cars except for the Genesis. You cant have" Performance" with Fuel Economy. Theres a reason why their cheap, no market power. Same thing Toyota and Honda did to break into the market, sell dirt cheap cars that were reliable.

[truknayr23]

@zjumps33 If it takes you to point A to point B that is, because most of the time after 2 or 3 years of driving it, it won't. cheers mate!

[naekerb]

im waiting until the 2011 mitsubishi outlander sport comes out because it has better fuel economy 23/31 and its different from all the other crossovers !!!!!!!!!!!! 

[pattycarljackson]

@naekerb yeah but thats about the same as the tucson maybe a mile or so off thats not bad

[jaimiegirl10110]

im getting that!@#$%^ its so nice inside it has a gps and a blue tooth/.....

[ellery96]

We bought the 2011 Tuscan loaded for my wife -- and i think i agree with everything he's saying. Overall, the value is the best part but I have to tell you... I have a 09 Altima and I love this Tuscan. Its definitely not the Hyundai of the 80's that I drove delivering pizza. Gotta give Hyundai some props...they've come a long way.

[gandalfwiz20007]

This is not Tucson, it's the iX35

[KinGzMusic]

@gandalfwiz20007 Hey you fucking idiot, it clearly says TUCSON ON T HE BACK OF THE DAMN VEHICLE.

[gandalfwiz20007]

@KinGzMusic that's because it's the USA version, in Europe it's iX35, do some googleing first, and then speak, moron.

[leogeeko]

@gandalfwiz20007 In Brazil is iX35 too. Don´t worry about Americans, they need 4x times the size of an Engine to make the same horsepower of a Japanese or Korean Engine.

[elpenaroll]

i like the 2010 version better... and for the 2011 def the kia sportage

[carsaregood911]

@elpenaroll What's the difference between the 2011 model and the 2010? This car was redesigned for 2010.

[zunajb]

@carsaregood911 GL trim added with 2.0 engine. And 2011 GLS is 2010 GLS w. pop pkg.

[Travide]

@elpenaroll y whats the difference in the 2010 and the 2011

[elpenaroll]

@Travide  the outside look brother

[TheSpawnofSkynyrd]

@Travide - Basically the addition of cruise control. Not many differences other than that.

[tjgrafiks]

liar...the new tuscon is smaller than the old one. looks like big hatch back. also smaller than the cr-v, rav 4 and kia sportage!

[elpenaroll]

@tjgrafiks true thsi looks like the venza

[tjgrafiks]

talks tooo fast! lol

[valkyrieXX]

who the hell does this think he is? crap review..

[afcgeo]

@valkyrieXX Why is it crap? Is it inaccurate? Does it lack important info?

[maganaonline]

Can the Tuscon tow anything? I don't need to tow much... just a hot dog cart. Does anyone know the tow rating?

[DtorBill]

168lb Torque for that car... man... what to say... poor car.

[wtrdogg20]

@DtorBill why poor?....do you think everything is racing or camper towing? Jesus!!

[DtorBill]

@wtrdogg20 Not but the weigh and functions need 'torque'. If you know what torque means you will see how necessary it is. Sorry for disturbing.

[wtrdogg20]

@DtorBill Dude, I am an Engineer, I do know what is torque....This is an small SUV, it is not a rock climber or a heavy duty truck. It got enough torque for what it is. It actually has more torque than the CR-V and the Rav4. So, whats your point? Are gonna tell me they both have low torque?

[DtorBill]

@wtrdogg20 Who said I'm comparing?

[DtorBill]

@DtorBill And sorry but the RAV4 is better in everything (also torque and hp), even taking into account the model (it is just a 'restyling' of the previous RAV4), it uses the same engine (better than hyundai's, as you know) and platform than the 2007 version. If you are 'Engineer', try to read the specs properly and also the engine's. Sorry for disturbing, have a nice evening.

[afcgeo]

@DtorBill I agree that the RAV4 is probably a better car overall, but not by much and the price difference is significant for many people. The real price difference shows up in the high end models. The RAV4 Limited V6 4x4 with no accessories comes in at $31,540 while the Tucson Limited V6 4x4 with no accessories comes in at $29,490. That's equally equipped vehicles with sunroofs and navi. We're talking $2,000... 6% price difference! That can pay for a lot of maintenance or accessories.

[TheGinzu]

The side view mirror blinkers are ugly, redesign!

[Windgrace]

I don't get why they don't plop the Sonata's 4-banger with 200hp instead of this 176hp...

[deporlover]

I got one and the same color, fantastic car, great value for money

[titibayun]

HEy dickhead! If you want perfomance then get a genisis, not a tuscon.

[Thinknappythoughts]

I want one of these puppies..but it's hard to find any....I hear they fly off the lots.

[Shadowhunter712]

@Thinknappythoughts Same here buddy I have called around town and all the sales guys tell me that they are selling way better then they expected and that says something think, I mean I know some people that have one and they are pushing 80,000 miles and still love it in fact they are planning on getting another one as soon as they bother to trade that one in.

[Thinknappythoughts]

@Shadowhunter712 I was able to get one in the color I liked. But I'm really bummed about the window failing to work and the hood not fully closing. Other than that, it's a fantastic car, just sucks that I have to deal with repairs like this so soon.

[Shadowhunter712]

@Thinknappythoughts ah that sucks wow I am really sorry to hear that. did you buy it new?

[Thinknappythoughts]

@Shadowhunter712 Yup...brand spanking new. We checked the hood prior to signing the papers and they fixed it asap but I failed to test the passenger window that rolled down but would not roll back up. And the part takes 2 weeks for shipping so it's been a pain. But I really love the car, I just hope I made the right choice.

[Shadowhunter712]

@Thinknappythoughts well im sure that you did make the choice and that you will enjoy the car all the more time that you have it, but that is wierd and is a pretty good black mard on not so much the car but the dealership. They should have checked that stuff out. Keep me posted in case any other problems should come up.

Thanks:)

[Travide]

@Thinknappythoughts yeah man I have limited tuscon and I have had TONS for problems soon as I bought it heat didn;t work, they undercover fell off in snow lol, my windows knocks with its being rolled down, my belts squek as if it was 20 years old, warranty to not cover belts and under cover lol, my seat had welding broke on it BRAND NEW and had to replace it but still has knocking sounds lol and cd's get stuck in my stereo so yeah im pretty fit up with my junky tucson and I swear never to

[wtrdogg20]

@Travide That seems like something to happened to a friend of my with a Rav4.

[Travide]

@Thinknappythoughts buy another HYUNDAI

[Omnicron204]

@Travide Hmm we have had our Limited since January and no problems at all. Sorry to hear about your luck. We picked ours up at 53KMS (we live in Canada) it now has close to 8,000KMS and (knock on wood) it's still has no issues.

[RichardEllisxyz]

I was working as a tech at a dealership when the first Tucson first came out in the states..... & I was mighty impressed. An extreme value for the money. And they still offer the vehicle in 2WD, AWD with Autos' or manuals..very flexible & capable machine................cheap too!

[boy638]

two tucsons !!

[SRQshark]

Tucson actually gets nearly the same gas milage as my GTI. thats pretty impresive

[SK8MG01]

Are u kiding me my dads i-4 is almost a 2.4! And the horespower is not up to par, my moms saturn vue has almost 300 horespower

[DarkgreenXatu]

3:49 thats what she said :D

[jakobat1994]

176 hp from 2,4 L V6 ?!

that must be a joke

the alfa mito QV have 170 hp from a 1,4 L 4 cylinder engine.

[JayCeeEss1337]

@jakobat1994

It's a straight 4.

Also, mitsubishi make 300hp from a 2.0 liter.

What's your point?

[ConceptVBS]

@jakobat1994

The car is a 2.4L 4 cylinder.

[matrixloader]

@jakobat1994 its not a v6 its a 4 cyl. and in the usa a 1.4L engine would probably make 90hp, we dont get any of the european engine powerplants here in the usa, they are all banned for emission standard reasons.

[jakobat1994]

@matrixloader that sounds like some crappy rules

[zunajb]

@jakobat1994 stupid!! that must be turbo chager something like that!!! Who can make regular engine w 170 hp from 1.4 L???? You know about your car really?

[jakobat1994]

@zunajb maybe you dont know but an alfa mito qv have 168 hp from a 1.4 litre engine, and i should know because i have one myself.

[jondea0]

seams like a good car. it looks a little bit like the ford kuga

[bottomlayer]

@jondea0 AAAAAAAAH don't say that! Another cool Ford we don't get over here!

[gopi138]

@gopi138 Buuu they correct the mistake...

[Exoticsoflondon]

@gopi138 yep its definitly Tucson :D

[MrSB113]

did anyone else see him just roll right through that stop sign, actually, he didn't roll, he didn't even slow down! lmfao!

[c0nv1ct1337]

@MrSB113

He initially slowed down and when noticed there is probably no car coming within a mile (as you can see there is very little to limit his vision to see whats coming) so he just went. I do this all the time when I drive in less populated areas.

[again2021]

So it's for yuppies and hipsters?

[alexcheetah79]

@again2021 Nah Hyundai's a too reasonably priced and too mainstream for them, remember, they are elite. :p

[FuriousPumpkin]

you should definitely look into North Carolina again for a sports car review. Take it along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

BMW's would make the most sense since the factory is close by in SC. I would really consider that.

[PaulLOVESChristoph]

This guy has the perfect voice for video game voice acting. like rachit and clank

[thomisonnnnn]

Hideous car!

[outlawsonic]

Good review Richard P. not crazy about the car though

[firesquare16]

you ran 2 stop signs in this episode.....

[drifter090]

i always pronounced this car as TUS-KON not TUSON or just PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

[JASZ0123]

haha isn't the c before the s

[machinegunmana]

bleh

[stigger91]

Hyundai is making a comeback for sure... but I don't like the styling on this. Mainly the headlights

[sweeeptheleg]

Go Dick P!

[xxBM85xx]

Sweet in live in NC :)

[LOLHICRONO]

woot fldetours :D

[bototheone1]

I bet it's a good car but I hate the exterior.

[zsolti256]

áááááááááá Cloverfield monster!!!!!!!!

[MrCardog]

Need to do a FLDtour of the Hyundai Genesis Sedan 4.6 Tech Package

[MrCardog]

These guys sould pop the hood instead of just reading their scripts. The engine is a 2.4L I-4 not a 2.4L V-6.

[desimunda116]

@MrCardog yeah that did confuse me a bit lol

[timppa600]

flinally a FLDetour I like! :)

[turboman8082]

I think you guys should come review my 15 year old minivan.  It's infinitely more interesting then this car. LOL

[bottomlayer]

@turboman8082 Is it a 5-speed turbo Caravan by any chance?

[turboman8082]

@bottomlayer No but the smell of oil, beer, pot and hooker blood makes it infinitely for interesting then this car.

[bottomlayer]

Too bad you can't get a Kia Rondo with a manual transmission

[Rorycarguy]

@bottomlayer You can in europe ! I don't understand why they don't offer cheaper cars in the US with the option of manual transmissions . Over here autos are so rare !

[c0nv1ct1337]

Small vehicles don't sell well in the U.S. because our gas prices are still relatively cheap. Americans also like to have their "space". Even today, the Ford F150 pick up truck is the best selling vehicle in the U.S.

The amount of miles people have to travel here in traffic to get to work or school is quite large on average. Personally, I have to travel 1 hour in stop and go traffic daily to get to work. This is why my daily commuter car is an automatic and my weekend car is a manual.

[wtrdogg20]

@Rorycarguy I agree...In Europe the most common gearbox is Manual (stick). Automatic gearbox is something very "luxury" not everybody pay for it.

[UrbanQuick]

@Rorycarguy We here in north america dont really understand cars. as you may have noticed in the american car industry. Thats why we drive autos. I live in canada, but its just more convenient, no need to shift. just gas and brake. xD helps in start stop traffic.

[Rorycarguy]

@UrbanQuick i get ya ! i understand the convenience of autos , even though personally i find a manual easier to use in stop start traffic ! i drive my dads old 2008 Landrover Dicovery3 ( LR3) TDV6 Manual ! i find in stop start , slow traffic , because of the torque from the diesel , i rarely have to touch the gas , i just let up and push the clutch

[Rorycarguy]

my mom has ordered one of those , in a diesel ( i live in ireland , everything is a diesel ) . It looks good , good value , great trade in for her old hyundai but one thing annoys me ......The last model was called the tuscon ...but in europe they have changed it , to the Hyundai IX35 ??????? are they trying to be like infiniti , i hate number nameplates ....so crap! How much would a tuscon badge on ebay cost ???hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[bottomlayer]

@Rorycarguy being it's a Hyundai probably about 5 euros or so.

You're so lucky you get the diesels over there!

[Rorycarguy]

@bottomlayer i know , i love diesels , my dad has a diesel Lr4 with a manual gearshift , best car ever!!!!!!! The torque incredible . I am currently saving up to get a volkswagen Golf gt tdi! Can't wait , great engine , great economy and best nameplate since the MG B GT!

[gogmorgoaway]

The Ford truck going past at 1:16 might not have been intentional, but it pretty much supports what you're saying...

[jrs89]

first!!one!11!

[4HITMAN7]

bad video quality

[veyronman]

@4HITMAN7 if you weren't a huge n00b you'd know that videos are uploaded in a low quality first to speed things up before the high quality versions are added later
