First time Hyundai owner and exceptionally happy
This is my first Hyundai and I test drove three different models before I chose the Sante Fe Sport. I also cross shopped the Honda CRV, Toyota Rav 4, Buick Encore, and a couple of other mid to small SUVs. In the end it was the features for the money, reliability ratings, extended warranty as standard (did not have to purchase extra), and overall driving experience. I felt the Hyundai was maybe a point or two less than the Toyota and I felt it was better than the others. However, it won me over because of the tight handling and essentially worry free ownership experience since I have almost 30k miles of warranty left on it. I don’t feel as if the Toyota was 3-4K more of my hard earned money than the Hyundai. So in the end I took the Hyundai home and it has exceeded my expectations. I have driven over 1k miles in my two weeks of ownership and have averaged about 25-26mpg of equal hwy and city driving in Houston to include rush hour. Great car with good driving dynamics, Noise control, and MPG for the money. Super happy with my purchase of my used Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
