Best car ever!

I love this car. The ease of getting in and out of it as well as the adjustable seats with the Lombard control is wonderful. Excellent safety features with side mirrors notification of cars in your blind spot. I especially love the hidden compartments under the mat for extra storage. Helps keep the back neat and uncluttered. Also the tinted windows and sun screen for passengers in the back seat is a real plus.

Santa Fe Sport 2.0 Turbo Ultimate-almost perfect

This car "checks all my boxes"...price, quality, performance, comfort, styling...a couple of these boxes can be improved a little, but not for less than another 10-$20,000.

Great car at a great price

This is one of the biggest mid-size SUV's out there. I thought my Saturn Vue was roomy and initially thought we should buy the larger model; Santa Fe instead of the Santa Fe Sport. Upon test driving the vehicle I realized it was longer and wider than the Saturn Vue. The car rides well and is very comfortable.

Better than our previous Santa Fe

One of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. Fuel economy is much better than I expected. Smooth ride.

Overall, best value for the buck!

This car is fun to drive and had almost every feature one could want. The only real downfall of this car is it has no coolness factor. I love the ride but the outside looks like so many others out there. I drive across the country a few times a year, I'd buy it again.

2017 Hyundai santa Fe Sport

I traded in a 2013 Jeep Patriot Latitude as I have four LARGE dogs (all over 100 lbs) and we travel to dog shows up and down the east coast, so i needed something bigger with more space for our travel needs. My Santa Fe is the BASIC model, no extra fun stuff (sun roof,navigation, remote start, etc). it does have Lots of room inside compared to my old Jeep and there are even "storage" compartments in the trunk area, underneath the floor board (where a spare tire would go) so although i loved the idea of it when i bought the car, it is not as accessible as i really thought about with the dogs when they are in the car but it is nice for minor things.. First aid kit, extra water, leashes/leads, towels, dry food, toys, etc. It gets pretty good mileage (actually better than my jeep did so far, so thats nice) Ive only had the car exactly a month but we did already make a trip in it to Ohio from New York (10.5 hours) Only filled it with gas three times the entire trip.

wow! what a wonderful car.

If you test drive this automobile you will buy it. It rides and drives like a dream. It has most of the luxury features that anyone could ask for.

Safest and most reliable car I've owned.

My Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is our second Santa Fe. The first one was totaled when we were broadsided and walked away with a couple of scratches. Safety is our first concern
