2012 Hyundai SANTA FE consumer reviews

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. It is small enough for good gas mileage, yet big enough to carry all I need on trips.

Best car for everything you're looking for. Plenty of interior room, nice exterior finish, extra racks on top, great for first time and experienced drivers.

Found out the hard way that Hyundai doesn't honor the 100,000 mile warranty if you're a second owner. I was only 3,000 miles over the 60,000 mile new limit, when my intake manifold and VCM motor needed to be replaced, with a repair cost of $1,500. I am retired and on a fixed income, so I contacted the corporation to seek some repair assistance or an extension on the 60,000 limit. 6 calls into them, and promises from everyone I have spoken with, and still no return calls. Evidently, they could care less about their customers. I bought the vehicle believing that it would be reliable. I will not make that mistake again.

The only complaint I have ever had is it's uncomfortable when I have a ponytail. Ha. This is my second Hyundai Santa fe and I'm very pleased with it.

Purchased the car used in 2014. Commute an hour each way every day in all weather conditions and have not had any issues.

I knew what I was looking for and found it through cars.com. Unfortunately, the only places in the country that had my car were far away. The best price was the closest dealer - about 1500 miles away. I bit the bullet and flew there to pick up my car. The ride home was wonderful - never been so comfortable in any vehicle - especially on a long road trip. I got the 3.5L V6 (that Hyundai quit using in 2012), and gas mileage was great on the road (over 26 mpg) and about as advertised in town (20 mpg). Never had a vehicle with such a comfortable and quiet ride. Love it.

only 3300 miles when purchased, one year old. drove to Cananda and back ( about 450 miles ) and no problems. smooth, quiet, plenty of power and 26 miles per gallon on a four lane.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Limited is a great car with a lot of nice options and creature comforts. I ecommend the 6 cylinder model since the 290 HP it has gives it a lot of get up and go power for the highways. The larger side windows in the rear give you a lot of visibility. About the only standard feature that I would have liked is power rear door lift.

I bought a2012 Santa fe SE demo (with 5k miles on it) in April of 2012. Absolutely my favorite car I've owned - gets great gas mileage (better than some sedans even) and [my particular one] had tons of extras, like navigation and sunroof and rearview camera. Safety was never a big thing on my list, as I have driven for years without accidents. I learned just how important the Santa fe's safety features were when I hydroplained 11 months after I bought it, rolled it 4 times and walked out. The steel bars to keep the roof from collapsing under pressure and how quickly the seatbelt locked tight, along with every airbag saved my life. The roof did not buckle, although I did total my SUV. If I had been driving a car, I would not be here today.

After working with Russell Sconyers, he was awesome helping me with the car process. he is honest and low pressure!
