Almost a FIVE Star
Overall, my experience has been wonderful. It's easy to drive. I love the safety features. The Smart Cruise Control is fabulous! My gas mileage is close to the advertised 28 mpg; sometimes higher, sometimes lower. It shifts almost imperceptibly between EV and gas. The sight lines are much better than my previous Santa Fe and headlights much improved.
The only problem I've had with it concerned the starting battery which inexplicably cratered after the car was garaged for three days. The car was locked and I could not get into it. I had to call the Hyundai Road Service who came out quickly, was able to break into the car and get it started. They then tried to sell me a battery. (?) I took it to my Hyundai dealer who kept it for several days (they did give me a loaner.) They could find nothing wrong with it, but cautioned me that I could not let it set for several days (!?!) They did explain to me about the reset button, which none of the new car people had bothered to tell me about. Now, when I garage it for several days, I make sure it is unlocked. This is the only blemish in an otherwise stellar relationship with my Hyundai Tucson. I worry about parking it at the airport and finding it comatose on my return. I would certainly appreciate a better remedy that the one offered by my dealership - "Make sure you drive it at least 20 minutes every three days."
