l wanta smaller type of SUV. its between tuson & a toyota matrix.

Buy the Toyota matrix. is much better, but is smaller than the tuscon

l was not aware the Matrix was an SUV, the Mazda 5 and Mazda 3 Hatchback may also interest you then. As for the Tuscon its a very nice small SUV that is good on gas, low in price and will last you for many years. It is small size equals good handling on the road, not sure about for any real off roading.

l have the Tuscon. l love it it is a small SUV but the room is amazing and it drives great. Gas is OK about 20-25 miles per gallon. l highly recommend it and you can not beat the warranty.good luck

l drive a Tuscon 150 miles a day. It gets 24 mpg at 55mph with the defroster of A/C on. 26mpg without. Mines AWD or 4wd, the sticker and car say differently, has traction control which saved my ass a couple of times this winter(it really works well) has a great warranty, l recommend getting the manual transmission, it gives more control. l miss my silverado, but l love the gasmileage.
