 The Hyundai Tuscon GLS has been ideal for our family.  It carries my family of four comfortably on short trips.  It is an ideal size for maneuvering into parking spots at work.  It has a roomy back end for groceries and such.  We have had issues with the battery, headlights, air conditioning, and tires as mentioned in previous reviews.  But with the warranty and the wonderful service at the Hyundai dealership, I had it all fixed quickly and without too much trouble and $$ for me.  The gas mileage isn't the best @ 17-19 MPG.  I love the 4WD, it isn't going to get me out of 3ft of snow, but it has helped me in snow <8 inches.  It is a basic SUV, not a luxury vehicle, and it gets the job done.
