Awesome car

This car really met all my needs! Good gas mileage on the highway and city! Bluetooth works great! Heated seats are essential during cold winter days! I would highly recommend this car to anyway!

Good enough to own 2!

I have not one, but 2 Santa Fe Sports. This car is comfortable, great in bad weather, and reliable. They are easy to maintain and have great safety features. I am extremely pleased with the Santa Fe Sport.

50k miles and I'm looking to switch

I've owned the last three Santa Fe body styles and from a performance standpoint the current model is the worst one yet. Its the 2wd sport with the 2.4l non-turbo engine, certified pre-owned, 1 owner car 26k miles when we got it. I've always owned the 2wd models because they have performed so well in the snow, I figure why spend the money on AWD if you don't have to, well for this model it probably would have been a better idea to spend the money. It is absolutely horrible in the snow, I drove it the other day with about an inch of snow on the ground and it was all over the place. Ride quality has also deteriorated rather quickly, rear end has gotten very bouncy from 26k miles to 73k. Has already needed 2 alignments and looks like its going to need another one soon. The leather seats are nice and comfortable and the interior in general looks sharp and everything is located in the right place and easy to use. Haven't had any drivetrain problems, the backup camera went out in it and had to be replaced, but it was covered under warranty. This would be a good car for someone in the south, but if you live where it snows get the AWD model trust me, I've lived in Buffalo, NY my whole life.

Loving all the technology & the Panoramic Sunroof!

I am still getting used to it from my 2007 Nissan Murano. It is loaded with technology, which I love! I just haven't had the time to play with it all yet. I have only had it for 3 days so far. I LOVE the Panoramic sunroof and the seat fits me and my very delicate back perfectly. I hope this will be a long car-owner relationship!!

Affordable luxury

We were looking at Honda pilots but they were more than we wanted to spend. Then we found the Santa Fe where we can get a third row with captains chcair in a limited for much less! We love this car so far!

Most reliable car I've ever owned

The Hyundai Sante Fe Sport has a great GPS, easy to read and large display! Also, the interior was very spacious, as well as the cargo area in the back. The trunk visor covered my things from being in sight. The sunroof was fabulous, very long and extending to the rear passengers. I also used the rear window shade screens, esp. when my grandchild was in her car seat. Great ride!
