Love It But Am Bracing Myself for a Repeat of Mechanical Issues
Pros: Drives beautifully, and has lots of power. Very smooth transmission, and the seats are comfortable. Drives nicely over potholes. Plenty of cargo room. Great-looking - glad they didn't make it ugly like the Santa Fe. The heated steering wheel gets nice and warm. Love the seat adjustment memory.
Cons: When the headlights are on at night, there's a spot in the middle where there is no light, so there's always this dark spot in the middle line of sight. The steering wheel doesn't pull forward, and the seatbelts don't fit correctly, both of which are issues for small women. Very poor fuel economy, like all Hyundais. The steering wheel is harder to pull to the left than to the right. Very tight spot in between the door and the driver seat adjustment, so men with large hand will have to open the door to adjust the seat. Sometimes the door lock does not work when I put my hand behind the handle, so I have to pull out my key fob.
My prior Hyundai had mechanical issues before it was a year old, and the paint started chipping off after 3 years. I hope this new one is not going to be more of the same.
