2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

I have been driving Ford Explorers for almost 20 years. The economy is different now and I needed an alternative. As I researched smaller SUV's the Hyundai Santa Fe kept coming up. I went to my local dealer, Hub Hyndai, drove one, then another. The second one was it. It was 2 years old, 20,000 miles, looked great, drove great, priced right. Hub got me better financing than my bank. That was it. I have never done that. I shop and shop and shop. I now have 75,000 miles on the car. Have brought it back for regular maintenance, had the oil changed regularly, tires rotated and balanced regularly, replaced all tires by now, just had all the brakes done, all normal stuff. It been great. Coming out of V8's to this 4 cylinder, I'm impressed with the pickup this little SUV has. Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone.

Santa Fe

This is my second Santa Fe. I had a 2001 for 14 years. Only one sensor went bad. I bought my 2012 in 2015 (and I never buy a used car) because of the quality of my first one and it only had 13000 miles on it. Hyundai makes a great car and the warranty can't be beat!

Great Value

Would definitely purchase another Santa Fe the next time I'm in the market for a new vehicle. It's easy, fun, comfortable and extremely reliable. An important requirement when we were looking to purchase was the ability to fit 4 sets of golf clubs in the rear. The Santa Fe was the only SUV we considered that was wide enough, without wheel wells being in the way, to accomplish that comfortably. The ride and handling is really smooth, making it a pleasure to ride on long trips.

A lot for the $

This is my 3rd Santa Fe from this body style. At 15'3" it will fit in the parking places the later model 6cyl Santa Fe will not. The 6 speed 3.2 axle ratio works well with the 6 cyl to get around the slower vehicles, especially up hills. ( don't try it with the 4 cyclinder ). The shifter/brake assembly will start to make a click in the shifter ball after some time. A small annoyance. The AWD version is much better with traction, than the 2wd version in all conditions. The gas mileage is slightly better on the 2wd vs the AWD. The gas mileage on my 4cylinder AWD is about the same as the 6 cyl FWD. On the FWD 6 cyl I got up to 30mpg on flat highways averaging about 26mpg across the US. City is 18-20mpg. Cruise ctrl lowers mileage. The upgraded stereo system went out on on of them and the audio unit is an expensive replacement if you have the touch screen version. Visibility is good compared to other comparable suvs. The GL basic cloth interior is more comfortable than the SE seats that use a leather trim / fabric seat and back area. The leather interior doesn't breathe - so it can be sweaty. The non leather steering wheel is easier to grip, and the leather creaks a bit, until you treat it with a conditioner . a moisturizing sani wipe works well. The dash display is easy to read. computer is decent with: Temperature, mpg, avg mph, and two trip counters. Fog light and decent controls are in awkward place on lower left side of dash Compass in the auto dimming rear view is accurate and the mirror visibility is great day and night. Console has 2 stages of ez access storage. USB ad receptacle power are ez to access. Heated seat controls are in the storage tray in front next to pwr outlets and can accidentally be activated easily. Storage space is better than most any other SUV in it's class. smart out of view compartments and power outlets. Cup holder are side by side in center console and have cool lighting. The doors all have decent inner compartments for your stuff and are wide enough to handle bottles of water. Stock tires are a B rated for temp and can go 50-60k before you need to replace. Sensors can be tricky for many service centers to accurately diagnose; An awd has axle sensors that have been tripped and affected my descent ctrl, traction ctrl and braking. Overall it's smooth on the road, quiet with floor mats and all weather mats in place. Handles well, steering is responsive, not too tight. The Power is there to get on the fast moving freeways and tackle the steep ascents. It's a car frame, so I haven't put it to the test on dirt and rock paths. The AWD does keep traction well in compacted and shallow snow. For Freeway and city driving, its comfortable to drive and ride in.
