2013 Hyundai SANTA FE consumer reviews

Largest size for this class of SUV. VERY quiet compared to the Honda CRV. BETTER VALUE than the Ford Escape. Better handleing than new Toyota RAV 4. Overall = Largest, quietest and best VALUE in small sized SUV.

Nice car with nice features. Met my wife's needs with little to no hassle. Tarbox staff were friendly, honest and up front.

Has 3 different settings for the power steering since its electric power steering. The Turbo 2.0 really performs and the vehicle has a very good fit and finish, and it has the best warranty vs all other SUVs. You really need to test drive this vehicle to appreciate it plus it has appx 50 % American content.

i got my first new car,hyundai santa fe from hadad in pittsfield and not only am i loving it but got the best customer service ever.... zach is my best sales man of the year .

I was thinking about buying a new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe but changed my mind due to a recent poor customer service experience with Hyundai Motor America (HMA). I currently own both a 2007 and 2009 Santa Fe Limited. In the past I have received some recall notices for these vehicles. The most recent recall notice (received April 2013) pertained to the need to replace the defective stop lamp switch in the 2007-2011 Santa Fe models. Despite paying for a repalcememt stop lamp switch in my 2007 about 4 weeks before receiving HMA's notice for this item, HMA would not reimburse me for this repair. Prior to this repair, for a short period my daughter unknowingly drove around the city and on the highway with no brake lights working (due to the defective stop lamp switch). Because of HMA's poor customer experience with me concerning this matter, I will never purchase a Hyundai again and will advise others about this poor customer service experience with HMA.

I am former Honda CR-V EX driver for 10 years. I loved it and it was probably one of the most reliable cars I drove so far and made more than 130K miles on it. My old car probably would last another 100K miles or at least my mechanic said this, but I felt it is time to change it to something newer. I did very long research and test drive different compact SUV, starting with 2013 Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4, Subaru Forester and few others. Finally I did test drive of 2013 Santa Fe Sport turbo and immediate felt in love with it. Styling, Power peppiness, Luxurious feel and roominess of this model made my decision to own this car irreversible. So I closed the deal and I am now proud owner of 2013 Santa Fe sport 2.0T AWD with and Leather Seats option. I opted out the highest level of equipment options because added panoramic sunroof disables having roof rails and crossbars so it was more important to me to have them. Also navigation system is something I can replace it with my $200 Android "Phablet" which perfectly fits into car electronic and interior without punching additional ~$3000 hole in your pocket. I would highly recommend this phenomenal car to everybody. Honda lost me as a customer. New 2013 CR-V cannot compare with this one at all.

I've had the car for about a month and so far I love everything about it. The styling is great and the car drives like a dream. The ONLY thing I wish were different is that there are no daytime running lights and for a car at this price point I expected that important safety feature to be included.

Great crossover but the electric steering takes some getting use to. it is a little different then the normal power steering. it is no reason to not test drive this cool car or purchase i love mine!!

Impressive ride for a C/SUV. Handled great and power when you need it. Has more HP then any other in its glass but still sips the gas. I agree with other reviewers that the packages should be separated. Tech package has a sun roof which I don't like on any vehicle.

Rented it as rental vehicle on vacation- really loved the way the vehicle handled and the amount of cargo room for a CUV! we onlt had the 2.4 (no turbo) and instantly knew we needed more power but got 28 mpg (not sure if thats usual) Got back from vacation and decided that the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was the right vehicle for us. Went for the 2.0t and have enjoyed every minute with it! Havent had one issue yet
