A SUV that normal in size

I have tested many SUV most or huge and other small the reality is the Hyundai Santa fe is inbetween, it is a comfortable 5 seater SUV but can morph into a 6-7 seater tight SUV; perfect for hauling and for family. Interior looks and feels quality compared to other brands, and basic features are extensive considering you don't need to break the bank to get some of these features. Overall great SUV and very capable.

I owned a 2008 Santa Fe.

I owned a 2008 Santa Fe. It was the best car I ever bought. After 142,000 miles, I bought a 2017 Santa Fe. The most uncomfortable car I ever experienced!!! After sitting in it for approximately a hour, your legs and rear end go numb. Not only the driver?s but also the other passengers. Terribly uncomfortable!! Also the cabin is very noisy. These are things you can?t detect with a short test drive.

Good reliable car for the price

The car met all of my must haves. It has full dashboard with carplay, backup camera, and blue tooth connections. The second row of seats recline and have plenty of room. There is still plenty of room in back cargo for my very large dog. I have owned luxury cars, and this is not a luxury car. I was looking for a low budget car but with reliability and conveniences - This fits the bill!

Has exceeded expectations

The Hyundai Santa Fe 6 cylinder has exceeded our high expectations. After driving a Sonata for 15 years and 250,000 miles (and it was still going strong), we chose the roomy Santa Fe for comfort, ease of entry for all 7 seats, and easy to use cargo space. It is less expensive to insure than comparable vehicles, and it is one of the only SUVs to rank high on the new, more rigorous, safety standards (the other was the Santa Fe Sport). Even in our rural, hilly terrain, we average 26 mpg and have plenty of power. We did not get a lot of extra bells and whistles, but it has more than enough features that come standard, making it feel like a luxury model.

great traveling car

Plenty of seating for 8 people and still a lot of legroom. With the third row folding down it is an a credible car for four people to travel in with tons of room

Best riding and comfortable car I have had!

Very comfortable Captain's chairs in the first two rows. Plenty of leg room in the 2nd row along with ample leg room in the 3rd row. Full panoramic moon roof is just plain awesome!! Everyone who has seen it falls in love. Navigation is easy to use. I just plain love the vehicle!
