Will it Ever Die?
To be honest, my wife and I bought our 2011 Santa Fe because we had an old sedan that left us stranded one too-many times. We didn't really want another car payment and had a pretty limited budget, but wanted something we could haul dogs and bikes in. The Santa Fe fit our budget, had a V6 instead of a wheezy 4 banger and it had auto-start too, so we bought it as a stop-gap fix for our lame-duck sedan. Well, 7 years and 91,000 miles later, our little Santa Fe gives us no reason to replace it. Rust; nope. Squeaks and Rattles; nope. Mechanical malfeasance; not a bit. This thing has been paid off for years and I could replace it at any time, but it drives perfect, looks good and has been a real trooper through 6, salty, Chicagoland winters, hauling or dogs, bikes and ATV, and has been with us all around the country. At this point, I plan to drive it until it just turns to dust. Super value!
