SUV as easy to drive as my last car

This car met all of our needs. We are elderly and live in a very hilly, rural area, and we wanted a 6-cylinder, 7-passenger SUV. We loved our last car, a 2002 Hyundai Sonata, but it was getting hard to get in and out of due to our ages. This Santa Fe is easy to get into and out of, and the seat adjustments are phenomenal. The third row seat is easy to access, and all back seats fold down very easily for cargo space when not needed for passengers. The display on the dash is small enough not to be distracting, and the backup camera is handy. While having a longer wheel base than the Sonata, the Santa Fe retains the exceptional turning radius of the Sonata, and during a test drive, we found that it was just as easy to handle. The drive modes are handy; so far, we have kept it in "eco" mode and are getting about 26 mpg, and there is plenty of power. It rides beautifully as well.

Luxury at a discount

Was looking for a SUV that had luxury, but a lower price. My Santa Fe limited/ultimate has all that. Great warranty. Stylish, quiet, and runs great. No problems as of yet.

Smooth, comfortable ride!

I am enjoying the comfort and reliability of a new car. Never owned a Hyundai before, but love the geek behind the wheel and love the easy to use technology !

By far this is the most comfortable by far styling

I recently went on a trip after owning for about 1 1/2 weeks and the ride was easy as well as being quite comfortable with the space.The styling is alitlle of everything combined in a SUV vehicle that you could ask for.

This is my 3rd Santa Fe, Iove it!

Technology is high quality and mechanics is solid. I had 150k miles on last vehicle, a a great value for the money. Reliability and safety is very important.

Great Vehicle

This is the car for a busy family or anyone looking for more space and comfort. Seating for 7 or fold down the seats and haul all your luggage.

Superb vehicle

This was a great choice for us. It's just the two of us most of the time, but love to drive when we go to dinner with friends. Also we have 3 granddaughters to hang with when we go visit or they come visit us. Its very roomy and comfortable for all and a joy to drive.

Better than big price cars!

We got all the bells and whistles, leather seats, moonroof, 6 seater with separate climate controls, and for a great deal. Very comfortable ride, quiet.

Awesome Vehicle

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a great vehicle. Very functional and comfortable at the same time. The value of the car is superb. The space and the 3rd row seating is exactly what I needed for my family. Drives smooth too!
