Outstanding design on Santa Fe

Got more bells and whistles than a driver can think about . Very comfortable ride And plenty of room . Driver's seat can be elevated which works out well for me. Sharp looking exterior and handles with ease .Drove numerous SUVs before finding correct size for my needs .Very happy with my decision to bring Santa Fe home 🙂

Run and hide from it.

Engines recall-material left in engine during the build. Hyundai and their dealers are no help to you. Stay away from hyundai. Did not get any straight answers about the problems. Called customer help line and was on hold for 45 minutes and i gave up.

Adding to our Hyundai family

Wife and I recently purchased a 2014 Santa Fe. We absolutely love this vehicle. It was afforadabbly priced and our model has heated seats, bluetooth and third row seats. I'm very impressed with the comfort of the interior and how well it drives. Have owned it long enough to fill up gas tank a few times and it's reasonable to fill up, not too expensive, and it is proving to get great gas mileage on my wife's commute. Highly recommend the Santa Fe and any of Hyundai models.

LOVE MY CAR

MY HYUNADI SANTA FE SUV, MET MY NEEDS. LOVE THE CAR, IT'S NOT THE SMOOTHEST RIDING, BUT ROADS AROUND HERE ARE ALL IN BAD SHAPE. MY ONLY PROBLEM ARE THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE VERY DIM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ON ROADS THAT ARE NOT MARKED. COUNTRY ROADS...THEREFORE I MUST TRY TO AVOID NIGHT DRIVING.

Superb used car (2014, bought in '18)

We test drove similar 2014s with similar miles: Subaru was noisier & small rear view camera)); Toyota; Honda; Fords (tech much less up to date). So: better/large camera screen, blind spot warning in mirrors and sound, etc. Other makes just catching up to Hyundai. That plus Hyundai's (remaining) warranty is much superior (even before adding an extended one). Mileage a snitch lower, but now have no-cost repairs through 6 more years, since we do less than 12,000 miles annually.

Great Value

I have a 2010 Santa Fe and loved it but I wanted the third row option for when we have kids and have to travel. The third row is pretty spacious (for a folding third row) and the front and middle row has excellent leg room. I have the Ultimate edition with the AWD option and can't wait to take it out on the beach. Ultimate edition is the way to go because it came with all the bells and whistles that just make driving it a pleasure. Only thing about performance is the pick up is a little slow, as far as when taking off from a dead stop. But I am use to more of the 'sport' edition so it could just be me and I do wish it sat higher off the ground like my 2010 does, but it obviously wasn't a deal breaker. Other than that it drives smooth, it's quiet and gets great gas mileage for it being a longer/bigger car.

Great Buy for the Money

I've never owned a Hyundai before. When I went to the dealership I had Chevy in mind. But when me and hubby sat in our Santa Fe and saw how roomy it was; not to mention how comfortable the ride is....we made the decision to purchase our first Hyundai. The gas mileage is EXCELLENT!
