"Did a lot of research and settled on the Santa Fe with the suggestion and encouragement of our trusted mechanic. He said to go with Hyundai and we would never see him again! Found the 2011 SE at a good price. Wanted only the V6 engine and am glad we got it. It is very peppy even with four adult passengers. Haven't even had it a month yet so can't comment on long term reliability. But so far we love it."

"I was recently in a collision that totaled my 2003 Santa Fe. I had never had a car that long before, but I really loved it. So I had to do some shopping around. My rental was a car and I quickly realized that I wanted an SUV again. I looked at most makers' SUVs. Over the years, in my prior Santa Fe, I had numerous remarks about the smooth ride, so I really wanted to find an equal. A couple of others were close, but none matched what I had in the Santa Fe. And I was able to find a pretty good selection of "Certified" Santa Fes, so I got the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty. Their warranty cannot be beat. (And it's only matched by Kia, a sister company.) So, I'm very proud to be saying for the next several years that I've got another Santa Fe."

"Just purchased this 2011 Santa Fe Limited AWD, V6 two months ago. I am very happy with it. Lots of power, great gas mileage (avg 23-25 mpg), and lots of luxuries. I could have spent a lot more for some other brands, but would not have got anything any better. This was a Hyundai CPO car, so I got the full bumper to bumper warranty for the remainder of 6 years, and power train warranty for the balance of 10 years. Great deal I thought!"

"Well after 3 Santa Fe's I finally got one with the 3.5 V6 and 276 horse power. It pulls my boat just brilliantly. I was unable to find a new Santa Fe with the larger V6 so the newest used one did not have a sun roof. It is the first car without one in 8 years. Aside from the sun roof I got everything I was looking for, most notably the USB port for an ipod or just a USB drive. For $10 I got a USB Drive and have 2000 songs without commercials. It makes a great traveling car. The mileage is 2 MPG BETTER than the 2.7 liter V6's in my 2004 and 2007 Santa Fe's. I am getting 22 and never got better than 20 in either of the older ones. ECO drive is part of that, but also the motor just does not seem to work as hard. I saw the 2013 online and it only has 2 versions of 4 cylinder engines. A 2.4 for 180 HP and a turbo 2 liter for 280, this seems ridiculous as I can envision a turbo running for 250 miles when I take my boat to the Keys. I guess this is my last Santa Fe and I will go to a Kia Sorento next. It is a shame as I obviously liked the model. For the record my boat is 17 foot center console with 115 hp outboard total weight is under 2000 for boat motor and trailer."

"Just bought a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD 3 months ago and love it. It rides great, does great on gas and has plenty of room for the whole family. I would recommend Hyundai everytime. The Santa Fe has been well worth it. Priced right and has an amazing warranty!"

"Bought a 2011 Santa Fe Limited with under 16k miles. Have had it for nearly 2 months now. So far, so good. Love it! Better-than-expected gas mileage, with 27-29mpg on the highway. Sits up high, drives and handles wonderfully. As I said, love it!"

"We love our Santa Fe EXCEPT for the fact they put tires on these vehicles that are worthless in the snow. If purchasing a Santa Fe and you live somewhere with snow(even a little dusting) ask the dealer before purchase if they will replace the tires with something better. Ours will get stuck on wet grass and if there is a dusting of snow turning a corner is white nuckle."

"This car has a real smooth pickup when accelerating and you rarely feel a shifting transmission unless you floor it, which is never necessary. It goes. The ride is fairly smooth and quiet and I don't have to turn the audio volume up significantly when driving on the highway. Of course the new blue tooth phone and navigation has been a help on a couple of trips where I did not think I would need it. And it was AFTER my purchase that I found out the upgrades to the navigation are about $300 a pop. I don't know if or when I might need one but I was able to confirm that the software installed was the latest version. The rear seat does not fold completely flat, but that is mitigated by a quite large storage area under the back floor. I love the elbow room inside, and the steering column adjusts not just up and down, by in and out from the dash. Keeps the wheel near to me, but can make some extra room for my somewhat larger husband. We are very pleased with the car after driving it about 3500 miles in about 5 months."
