My Favorite Car

This car is so comfortable and convenient. The space is a lot bigger than it would seem from outside. Easy to drive and I love using the sport mode when I am getting on the interstate when I need extra boosts.

Not so quiet and smooth SUV.

Test drove against Tucson. No comparison on quiet or smooth ride. Tested FWD version so off road not really a possibility. Would benefit from a redo of the suspension.

Who could ask for anything more...

Comfort is a must, and it meets our standards to a tee. The style is right where we like. The gas milage is more than we ever expected, almost 30 mpg on the expressway, that is amazing to us and the handling in high traffic and severe weather has been a breeze. A positive purchase.

Value and good design

I needed a small SUV with only 2 rows of seats. I decided to give Hyundai a try. I looked at Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. But, this seemed a better buy. The only major complaint is the 2.0 Turbo is not as strong as I thought it would be. It seems to lag a bit in Eco driving mode. There are a few squeaks coming from rear seat and I have not been able to locate their origins, a little annoying.

Great choice

This vehicle performs above expectations. I was surprised at how well it handled during test drive. I have owned it for just over a month and I am well satisfied with it.

Best SUV for the money

Most comfortable ride for you and your family. Lots of trunk space and very smooth ride. You won't be disappointed driving this. If you're looking to purchase this go see my friends at Hyundai of Freehold and ask for Manny Lopez

The best over all vehicle I've ever owned

There are many vehicles that do one or two things extremely well, such as high performance, handling, high mileage, etc. These things come with a sacrifice such as poor gas mileage, a harsh ride and poor performance. The Santa Fe doesn't do anything extremely well or very poorly but does EVERYTHING very well.
