Hyundai ix35 Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Hyundai ix35 reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
What SUV should I buy for $22,000?
The CX-5 is the better vehicle, but the Hyundai is likely to be cheaper and with much longer to run on the factory warranty.
Hyundai ix35 or Jeep Compass?
The Hyundai is a clear winner for me and gets The Tick. I get lots of emails from unhappy Jeep owners.
CX-5 or Qashqai to replace ix35?
The 2.5-litre petrol engine in the CX-5 will give you the zip you want. If you need oomph for towing, go for the diesel.
Volkswagen Tiguan 2008: What is a good replacement with a similar footprint?
That Tiguan is getting old and a customer complaint is not unusual for Volkswagen. If he wants the best car then, it's the CX-5 but the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage also get The Tick and are the value champions.
Best medium SUV for rough roads?
For your main requirements, I'd avoid all four of your shortlisted models and go for a Subaru Forester or Outback. They are more car-like but will still handle the rough roads.
Similar SUVs to Forester?
The Forester has been a top choice but these days I would rate it behind the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage for class and value. And the best car in that class is now the Mazda CX-5.

Hyundai ix35 2013: Diesel intermittent problem
I don't blame you; the problem should have been fixed a long time ago. It sounds to me like it could be related to the diesel particulate filter regeneration, but whatever it needs a proper investigation. Take it back to your dealer and ask them what they plan to do about it. We will contact Hyundai on your behalf and request their assistance in fixing the problem.
