I've owned about 20 new vehicles and sold cars for 22 years, did a ton on research and ended up with the Caligraphy, it gives you so many features I wanted for a reasonable price. The engine is great and has plenty of power, great stereo, great highway cruiser as well. I have 32k miles, Hyundai has covered all my maintenance, and no warranty claims so far. Great Value! I have normally owned Toyota and Honda but wanted some features they either didn't have or I would have had to go to Lexus or Acura and pay way more for what I wanted.

This is my First time ever buying a Hyundai I sold a Acura RDX and purchased the Hyundai Santa Fe. I have no complaints. My Acura had everything in it and so do my Santa Fe. The difference is my Santa Fe is very comfortable and I really love it. As of now I have no complaints.

My engine is not reliable, I got the engine light fixed twice and now have a transmission problem. It is a 2.5 NA with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The first time it got all error codes on and they said nothing happened. The second time is when the engine lights on and drives rough, dumping me in the middle of 405. The tow to the shop takes 2 weeks with no loaner car. The third transmission problem just happened yesterday night, with higher RPM and no power to the wheels, I pulled over to the highway exit and sent a tow truck to my dealer to fix it. Also, on a 2-degree temperature day, the horn with not working, takes them a week to fix it. I didn't even mention with unstable Android Auto and Apple Carplay, with poor interior quality. The only thing that I like about this car is the off-road ability. As a city SUV, it can bring me to some rough road conditions with no issues. But the engine and transmission need to be improved!!!
