It's a 5 year car-

After 5 years they literally start nickle and diming you. After 6 years, they go straight for your savings! NEVER AGAIN! (bought our 2011 Santa Fe NEW)?. Cracked intake, several different sensors. Not a quality vehicle!

Plenty of room

Nice car but poor fuel mileage, ( 24-25 mpg hwy- 14-17 local ) awd works well in snow. Vehicle power is poor! Not very comfortable on long trips ( 125 + miles )

Lots of power! Fun to drive.

Very quiet on the inside, nice features, great car for my teenage son. Thinking about buying a newer one for my wife, (or maybe myself).

Loved this vehicle

Low maintenance. Only basic maintenance needed. SUV was shot up by 45 caliber bullets which did not penetrate body of vehicle due to firewall. Excellent gas mileage city and highway. Initial use was to transport to and from college.

2011 Hyundai Santa Fa Thank you West 40

I?ve test drove many SUVs before making a decision. We owned a 2006 Hyundai Sant Fa and I loved how it handled. It was a plus that we only had to replace the harmonic balancer and recently an alternator. My husband wanted a Jeep or a Cadillac SUV. We test drove several jeeps, didn?t have the opportunity to drive the Cadillac. We went with the Sant Fa again. We KNOW it will be reliable. It also has all the features we wanted, controlled heating, heated seat, moonroof & navigation. This SUV has it all and handled better in snowy weather than Any of the SUVs we drive. We bought both our 06 and our 2011 @ West 40 buy here pay here. In Cambridge, Ohio. Good people to do business with.

Great vehicle

The Santa Fe has something for everyone. From reliability, great ride, spacious cargo areas, and extra bells and whistles, it really has it all. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned.
