Too much faulty technology

I have had my new Santa Fe Sport into the shop 5 times now since I bought it - all for computer issues. Makes me question the safety of the vehicle. I don't need all the whistles and bells, I need a car that works like it is supposed to. I don't want to be tied down by computer glicks.

Extremely happy with our 2017 Santa Fe Sport purchase.

We have approximately 22,000 miles on our vehicle. The legroom for me is one of the top reasons I love this vehicle. My right leg would always feel cramped. This cramping was with other vehicles that we owned previously and those we test drove before deciding on the Santa Fe Sport. On short rides none of our vehicles really posed a problem with the cramping, as this only took occurred on our long trips with me. I had two hips replaced and not having these cramps made such a difference! We have not had any issues with our vehicle and the MPG that we get is slightly above what was on the sticker. Definitely one of the best vehicles we have owned. We have purchased about 7 new vehicles over the years and so far this definitely is the best for our needs.

Love this car. My sister and niece also have a Santa Fe and like it Next time I’d like the remote open tailgate

This is a super car. Very happy with it. The mirrors are a bit large and frequently present a blind spot. Other than that this a great car Love the heated steering wheel. We go north and it’s chilly in October

Nice vehicle

I bought my Sante Fe Sport after a frustrating day looking at another make of SUV. I just wasn't comfortable with the other make on a test drive. It felt huge, and I was terrified to drive it. The Santa Fe Sport was like it was made for me, the minute i sat in it I was totally comfortable. Funny thing, i found out after I bought it - it is BIGGER than the other model i wasn't comfortable in!

Excellent vehicle for the money!

You get the best bang for your buck with any Hyundai. This is my second Hyundai Santa Fe and both were very well put together with smartly located controls and extra conveniences (like the pop-up pocket on the dash - great place for a few essentials.)

car style and comfort

I love my Hyundai. It is dependable, easy to drive, comfortable, very relaxing on long trips. Plenty of cargo room for luggage and other items. I would recommend this car to everyone looking to buy a new car.

My Santa Fe

I love my Santa Fe. This is my second one. I enjoy driving it and feel safe in it. I love the color I picked and the style. My friends like it and the fact that it is roomy. My family like it too. My grandsons love riding in it.

well made vehicle

Test drove numerous vehicles before settling on the santa fe sport. Had viewed at auto show and was impressed. The turbo has lots of pep for a 4 cylinder. Comfortable to travel in. Could have a bit better fuel economy.

It needs to be built better!

There is a rattling noise on the left passenger and driver doors. I do not know where this noise is coming from? I had brought the car back to to Knauz Hyundai in Lake Forest Illinois where I purchased this car. They were unable to detect the problem. I did not mention this problem to Tamiami Hyundai thinking that they will not be able to help and I may end up spending my whole day at the service. The ride is not solid, feels like there are loose parts in the car. The gas mileage is poor especially in city driving, I barely get 18 to 19 miles per gallon. Car makes a lot of noise on sudden acceleration.

Marly, my Santa Fe, is awesome!

I have owned my 2017 Marlin Blue Santa Fe Sport for 2.5 years. She is turbo charged, fun to drive, safe and overall great car!! Even after 30,000 miles, she drives like a new car! My Santa Fe is AWD, making it great in snow or rain, it is roomy and comfortable. The technology is practical, easy and fun to use--makes for great hands-free driving! Marly will be going to my daughter in a couple of years and I will be back to get another Santa Fe!

Excellent vehicle

Great car to drive with a really good warranty, if I were to replace this car it would definitely be another Santa Fe, my previous car was a 2000 Ford Taurus with 125000 miles on. More than happy with this car

santa fe sport ultimate

it's noisy inside the cabin when driving on the freeway. the insulation, reducing the outside noise, is minimal. rear air/heat is minimal. backup camera doesn't always work. however, good value for the money

Santa Fe sport.

I do not like this SUV nearly as well as I did my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. My 2010 was a good bit larger and set up higher. The sport is just not what I thought it would be. If I could afford to trade again I would get another larger one with a v6. I loved my 2010.

Santa Fe Sport

Our Santa Fe Sport has provided excellent service to our family. I have never had any failures with my vehicle in the three years I have owned it. I always bring it in for service at Napleton Valley Hyundai as they provide friendly and professional service. The waiting room is very clean and is well stocked with refreshments. I know that my vehicle will be taken care of properly at the Napleton Valley Hyundai.

Nest Hyundai yet

This is my 3rd Hyundai in 15 years--the first 2 were Santa Fe's-- my current car is a Santa Fe Sport--the quality and heaviness of the car is truly impressive--the ride is so smooth and efortless--it practically drives itself!

2017 Santa Fe - Sporty SUV and more

I leased my 2017 Santa Fe Sport AWD in November 2016. Previously, I had only driven a few other SUVs for rentals (Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, Dodge Journey and Kia Sportage). After extensive review, I chose the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for the vehicle I would purchase/lease. I arranged a test drive and was pleased with the ride comfort, interior layout and quality, and overall size and feel of this vehicle. My only negative comments are 1) poor acceleration from a standing start and 2) lower fuel consumption efficiency than advertised. I usually achieve about 21 to 22 mpg in city/local driving conditions. Overall I am very satisfied with this vehicle and I am considering purchasing a newer 2018 model. I do not care for the new 2019 Santa Fe appearance and size.

So far so good.

We have only had our Santa Fe Sport for about four months and 3900 miles. So far it's been a great little car. We are impressed with the amount of whistles and bells they packed into this vehicle for the price. I am 6'1" and find it surprisingly comfortable. Especially after driving my 1 ton Diesel pick up for a couple years. Gas mileage is good, and it is adequately peppy in the Sport mode. Averaging about 26 mpg. If I had it to do over again, I would still purchase this vehicle.

Fun, reliable, good looking car for all occasions

I love my Santa Fe Sport. I opted for some bells and whistles including the panoramic sun roof, heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, forward, rear and side cameras, and blind spot warning. These features make the car so safe, comfortable and fun to drive. I’ve received so many compliments from friends and family about the car and all it’s extra features. The engine is quiet but has power when you need it. The 100,000 mile warranty gives me peace of mind and I feel safe driving this car. The heated steering wheel and seats are so helpful in the winter, added bonus that my rear seat passengers also have heated seats which you don’t find in many cars. I thoroughly enjoy this car and highly recommend it for anyone as it is a versatile, reliable, and fun car to drive.

Great Choice for your next vehicle

This is our second Santa Fe Sport. Quality is my best discription. For the money many options included, good fuel economy (avg 27-29mph), comfortable, etc. Receive many compliments from passengers riding in rear seating area on the comfort and room. The back seat also has vents for air/heat. Not to be overlooked on our hot Florida weather. Good storage area in rear with auto opening rear hatch. Only maintenance required for both was batteries. No negatives to comment on.

One Families choice

I have owned a Hyundai for 12 years. When I needed to get a new car 2 years ago there was no question as to where I would go. Now everyone in my family has one, my brother, my sister and her husband each have one and my daughter and her husband each have a Hyundai and so does my 93 year old Mom.
