Great Car, Couple of Things I’d Change
If I could speak direct,y to the design team of this car, I’d tell them that they did a great job, but two things bug me about this car. I should emphasize that I’ve been a lifelong loyal Toyota owner, so this was my first time branching out to a new brand. I chose the Santa Fe Sport for one reason....yes... ONE reason: backseat a/c vents! The RAV4 doesn’t have them, or didn’t at that time. I cart,y small grandkids in my backseat quite a bit and I wanted air vents for them, too. The two annoying things about this car: poor gas mileage. Wow. I went form a 1995 Highlander to a 2018 Santa Fe Sport and I expected better mileage. I went from a 6 cyclinder to a 4 cylinder and I thought my mileage would improve, but it’s the same or worse. That needs a fix. The second thing probably can’t be done, but I miss the visibility of the older SUVs. I know steel is safer than glass, but I really do miss being able to see out more. Also, there’s a very annoying blind spot created by the car’s design on the left side by the driver. One can almost miss a vehicle to one’s left, just above the rear view mirror....safety issue!
