Tucson's large, versatile interior and five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty
make it worth a serious look. It is a compact crossover SUV which shares its
Elantra-based platform with the redesigned 2005 Kia Sportage. It is a five door
vehicle and the driver can switch between two-wheeled and four-wheeled drive. It
is well priced, well mannered, and sure to generate interest with a refined
exterior and well-done interior.
