"Santa Fe Limited V6. Rides nice and is very quite for its size but not as quite as a Buick. Heavy auto and gas mileage will be better than a 4runner V6. You get a lot of features and packages on it. It is not real peppy with its size but does well otherwise. Will update it as I drive it and put more miles on it."

"Great vehicle. Only wish we could have found the 3rd row seat w/AWD. None in AZ. Only other complaint is no coin slots. We settled with the 3rd row. Took advantage of the clunker program--had to say goodbye to our 97 Expedition."

"I was blown away from their craftsmanship. I thought I was in a Lexus, that how gorgeous it was. After I bought it I finally notice that the Santa Fe is gorgeous but the engine is quite weak. To get the full 242 hp you need a very high RPM. But it?s better than my 2002 Explorer which had 200hp. As for the Mileage it totally rocks. I for 9.8 gallons I got 313.1 miles. Overall, I?m very please with the car & the price I got it for. I paid $28,000 for the AWD Limited with Nav, Blue tooth, Leather, Wheel lock, all weather mats. I think I got a steal with this car."

"I JUST LOVE MY NEW 09 SANTA FE. THE RIDE IS WONDERFUL,SMOOTH AND QUITE. WE ARE ALL AROUND 6' AND HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM INSIDE. THE BACK SEATS TILT LIKE A LAZY-BOY RECLINER. PLENTY OF POWER. FIT AND FINISH IS GREAT. LOOKED AT THE HONDA CRV AND THE TOYOTA RAV, AND THERE IS NO COMPARISION FOR THE MONEY. LOOK AT THE SANTA FE, AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED."

"I love my Santa Fe I will never own another SUV. They are a very smooth and quiet ride, I looked at the Rav4 and the CRV abd they both did not compare with price, warranty or ride"
