First Hyundai a Winner
After looking at the usual suspects (Highlander, Pathfinder, Sorento, Explorer, Pilot) we picked the Santa Fe. We wanted/needed 5k towing, 3rd row seating, Leather seats, and a good warranty. This was the best value and gave us everything we wanted and more. We have had it now for 10 months, 12,000 miles on it and no issues whatsover. Hauls our camper trailer with ease and can haul the troops with no issues. comfortable, quiet, and nice quality. Having AWD in Wisconsin is nice too. Not sure about the rattles others talk about, we have had no issues. First Hyundai we have owned and no regrets.

GREAT SUV!
I absolutely love my new 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe! I went ahead and went with an Ultimate Package and could not be more pleased! It has plenty of room for my family (3kids) and we can all fit very comfortably. It truly habdles amazing! If you have not yet driven one please drive it! I have watched Hyundai grow and think it is doing amazing things! I think a few of my favorite things would be the cooled seats... everyone has heated yes, but have you had cooled? the panoramic moonroof is amazing! and the sterring options.. i like to drive in comfort, but there is also sport and normal. If you want a luxury third row vehicle and dont need something as big as a tahoe this is it! it even has the bucket seats in the middle! Mine is a leased car but i think after my lease i will buy it! so in love!

Very disapointing
Although I really like how this vehicle hands, and also the power, the build quality is poor. This car rattles more than any new car I have ever owned. Also, the paint job is very bad. After only 5K miles on normal roads around town, the car has more dings and nicks than I've ever experienced. There is no explanation for this, other than a poor quality paint job. I will never buy another Hyundai, and cannot recommend this vehicle.

best warranty and one fine ride
This is the most luxury vehicle I have ever owned. Bought this vehicle for my wife. She deserves it. This is the best vehicle with all the options for the least amount.

Reliability is Key
I owned a 2002 Santa Fe for 13 years having only the rear brakes replaced being the only work done. For this reason I came back to Hyundai to look at the 2015 Santa Fe because of the third row seating option. The 2015 model is roomier on the interior, having plenty of space to move around in the front seat, I never feel cramped. The third row option is very nice, I can even get in the very back row and sit, I am 6 feet and 260 lbs. The limited has many new electronic doo-dads that our 2002 model did not, but these are creature comforts that are welcome. Heated seats and heated steering wheel will be used extensively by my wife. All instrumentation is visible without having to hunt down specific gauges. Driving is quick and responsive. A huge improvement on the 2002 is road noise is almost non-existant. Much more quiet than the 2002 model. The only detraction would be the rearview mirror has limited vision because of the remodel in 2013, but the side mirrors are much larger and make up for the lack of vision from the center mirror. Over-all, I like the 2015 Santa Fe and would recommend it to anyone who wishes for a reliable car that is fun to drive.
