For the last 20K miles (3-4 oil changes) my 2017 Hyundai Tucson has been burning oil off becoming empty. The first time the issue was noticed I believed it to be a sell tactic by the quick oil change chain I went to to sell me additional "engine cleaning" services, …

Pros:Good mostly reliable car, I have had generally minimal issues with it.
Cons:Something must have changed in the 2017 model half way through but I got the unfortunate version of the care that could not get Android Auto or Apple Car Play, while other 2017s could.

My Tucson consumes way too much oil. All maintenance was done at the dealer. Only used full synthetic oil. Failed the oil consumption test with flying colors. In 1k miles I’d be down 3 qts. Hyundai wouldn’t honor the warranty especially because I’m not the original owner but this is …

I have been profoundly disappointed with this car. The transmission is horrifyingly slow. The car does not seem capable of going beyond 75 mph. Actual gas mileage is more akin to 17/27. Hyundai has been entirely unhelpful in trying to address any of this. Steer Clear!
